CITIZENS JOIN IN GIVING M’CRAY BOOST.

The Newton county central committee of the Republican party attempted to hold a meeting at Morocco Thursday for the purpose among other things of officially giving the state of Indiana an expression of its feeling toward Warren j T. McCray’s candidacy for governor. The meeting, however, was captured by a hundred or more citizens who had learned of it and then began an old ( time political love feast at which McCray’s name was cheered to the echo. The entire thing was unplanned. It was non-partisan to a great extent, for among the citizens who crowded into the hall there were many whose names had always been prominently associated with the Democratic party. t It was best called a “McCray meeting.” The central thought and the theme of the meeting was Warren T. McCray. The central/committee seemed to be not at disturbed by the interruption occasioned by the visit from the body of- citizens, but on the other hand the various members at once handed over the reins of the meeting to teh enthusiastic supporters of Mr. McCray and entered into, the spirit of the meeting. . • * After numerous short speeches had been made by those in attendance —all of which were strongly to the effect that Warren T. McCray must be the next governor of Indiana, the committee was able to se- ! cure permission of the meeting long enough to pass a stronger resolution supporting the candidacy. Just before the close of the meeting the following resolution was adopted by the voters present: Be it Resolved: That we indorse the action of our U. S. senators in refusing to accept and adopt the league of nations pact formulated in Paris and presented to the senate for ratification without American interpretation and definite understanding concerning the provisions thereof. * Be it further resolved that in the best interest of the Republican party of Indiana, the republican organization and party in general and the citizenry of the state of Indiana, we, the republican organization of Newton county, Indiana, do hereby endorse the candidacy of our fellow citizen, Warren T. McQay, for governor of Indiana — not dlone on account of his publicly expressed views on national issues, his substantial and sound judgment on questions appertaining to local government, his high standing as a counselor in the party, but also for the further reason that he has proved himself to be a success-

WANTON WASTE OF WAR STOCKS.

Washington, Dec. 18.—Automobile tires worth more than $35,000,000, thrown in a pile many .feet deep and covering more than an acre of ground, were ruined through exposure to the weather at the motor transport corps base at Verneuil, France, Captain Robert Clendening, an officer at the camp, today told a house committee investi- 1 gating war department expenditures during the war. No coverings of any kind were placed over the tires for more than ten months, Captain Clendening declared, although there were many canvas tarpaulins scattered about the camp or being used for less important purposes. Approximately 3,500 motorcycles, after being placed in perfect repair for use by the A. E. F.» were parked at the same camp and allowed to stand exposed to the weather for months, until they became useless piles of junk, other witnesses told the committee. Automobiles, including passenger cars of various kinds and hundreds of trucks were thrown into piles along the railroad tracks until the “junk” piles covered acres, Earl Tromley, of Detroit, formerly a sergeant in the tank corps, asserted. The former sergeant expressed the belief that no inspection was made of the cars before they were discarded and that many of them could have been placed in perfect repair for less than SSO.

AUTOOBIE PAINTING at the NORTH SIDE GARAGE ACROSS STREET FROM BABCOCK GRAIN CO.

Mrs. Ira Chupp, who is assisting in the buzzing of some wood, received an ugly wound on the limb when her dress caught in the rapidly revolving saw at her home Friday. The saw is operated by a gasoline engine and runs at a high rate of speed, and had it not been that just at that moment tne drive belt had been thrown by the men preparatory to quitting, the accident would undoubtedly have proven more serious. As it was she was drawn into the saw an'd an ugly, jagged wound cut to the bone of the thigh. Mrs. Chupp’s husband is at present, at Nappanee, having accompnaied* Dan Stutzman’s car of emigrant goods to that place.
