France demands security before signing the naval pact, probably remembering how they fooled the Vflited States because we didn't require something like that on the war loans. Some one stole the police boat from the Maumee river dam at Fort Wayne and got away with it and now they are thinking of nailing down the fire wagons and patrols. ■Looks as though a sufficient investfgation of the recent Illinois primary will lie made so that other prospective candidates can find out just how much it costs now-a-days to put on a first-class primary campaign. The wet predominance in the Illinois pool as conducted by the L tcrary Digest may make the modern Mrs. McCormick change her mind or her platform for the lady well knows that her party claims that the Digest polls never fail in correctness. Talk about modern best sellers it may surprise you to know that last year fourteen million Bibles were sold in the U. S. A. and 35,JIOO.OOO in the world. When you can write one that will be that popular two thousand years from now you will know you have accomplished something.

It is a provision between the United States, Japan and England which provides that either nation has the right to protect herself against competitive ship building by non signers ot the pact. < in other words its a loophole so the pact don't have to be kept if we don't want to. And this nation once objected to article ten. ” “ r That the biggest business men in the big world believe in advertising is again demonstrated by the figures just announced by the ■ American Newspaper Publishers Association which shows that during last year the great sum of $260,000,000 was spent in American 1 i newspapers and most of them have ; signed contracts for as much or , more this year. Os the sum given > about one-fourth was spent by I automobile manufacturers. The government is rounding up a crowd of some fifty men in New York. New Jersey ami Pennsylvania ■ who have operated what is believ- j ed to be the largest liquor com bine in America and which has operated for some time at a profit i estimated at more than a million a week. The gang includes policemen, chiefs, business men and financiers. The story will give some idea of what lengths are | leached by those who engage in the traffic these days. Superintendent Worthman. whose I hobby for years has been the wel-! fare of the boys and girls entrusted to his care, has been checking up in regards to the story recently published concerning hi s high school students and finds but little to verify the reports. But two have been summoned before a grand jury to testify as to liquor ( violations, none carry flasks, seven own their own cars and the general moral condition is very good. Mr. Worthman and his assistants will ; have nothing undone to continue • the highest standard and are con-1 tinually advertising temperance and right living in all ways. With the census taking job half! over indications are that the popu- I lation here will be slightly over, five hundred. That seems rather i impossible for there are several hundred more houses here than | tin years ago when tht official populat'on was recorded at 4,792 ! and there is the chance that some I are being unintentionally overlook- ' ed.

Supervisor Thomas I. Ahl told ills workers to guess at the age of the persons interviewed, add 20 years and then announce the result. It has been found the bluff often brings the rue age from many perauus questioned. One man said. "It’s no one s business, not even Uncle Sam’s. how old 1 am. when 1 was married the ; first time and how much rent 1 i pay." The affair was reported in the daily newspaper and the enumerator had no trouble when he returned the next day.
