Miss Helen Dietrick was married to Gilbert Knetzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Knetzer, who reside on their farm east of Fillmore. The Rev.

San Francisco, July 24.—Much of the Pacific northwest was under a pall of smoke from grass, brush and forest fires burning today in Montana, Ida-

ho, Washington and Oregon.

Lightning was responsible for a number of new fires reported, and high wind in many places overcame the temporary advantage brought by the slight rainfall which accompanied the thunderstorms, to the thousands of fire fighters who have been for weeks waging an almost ceaseless-

struggle against the flames.

In western (Montana and northern Idaho, according to forest officials, there have been til2 fires since June 10. About 2,500 men are employed in

fighting them in that territory.

A change in the wind last night brought temporary safety to the little town of St. Regis, Mont., which for several days had been threatened by fires on three sides. The most serious fire, to the north of St. Regis, covered an area thirty miles in circum-

east of Fillmore.

SAYS BIG FIVE H WE PRICES IN CONTROL Washington, July 29—The federal trade commission has added another chapter to its indictment of the big packers in Part 3 of its report on the meat situation. (Manipulation of the live stock market through control of market yards and a practical monopoly in the buying of live stock are charged against the “big five” packers—Swift, Armour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson. These, the report says, “have the prices of dressed meat and packing house products so well in hand that within certain limit- meat prices are made to respond to their wishes.” Extreme Fluncfuations. Discrimination against competing independent buyers also is charged against the Big Five, as well as manipulation of the live stock market in such a way as to “cause extreme and unwarranted fluctiation- in the daily prices paid for live stock.” This practice, the report said, had resulted in curtailment of the nation’s meat supply bv discouraging the production of live stock.

Three crews of 300 men each were fighting a fire along a fifteen-mile front in the Blackfeet forest adjoining Glacier national park. Eleven fires were burning in the Flathead forest in Montana. Fires in Washington were confined to slashings, but were reported spreading rapidly and threatening standing timber. Fires at several points in Oregon followed an electrical storm yesterday.

Muncie, Ind. July 24. — Scores ot men are aiding the local police department and sheriff's forces today in an effort to find George, alias William Anderson, a negro, and admitted slayer of Clyde Benadum, a Muncie druggist who broke jail here last midnight. Anderson al-o has been partly identified as the murderer of Fred Holle, a Ft. Wayne young man who was fatally wounded last Memorial Day while riding in his automobile with Miss Bernardine Woenker. Crews of all trains leaving Muncie also are on the lookout for the man and the authorities in all surrounding cities have been notified of the escape. With Anderson, when he calmly walked out of the jail after springing the loci; on the door of the upper cor ridor. was Harvey Lawson, age 28, of i Indianapolis, his cellmate, a former convict, being held on suspicion of

Digestion begins in the mouth. The food should be thoroughly masticated and insalivated before it is swallowed. When this is habitually neglected stomach trouble is almost sure to follow. If fyou now have indigestion eat no beef or veal and sparingly of other meats, masticate your food thoroughly and you may recover without taking any medicine. If your bowels are constipated take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They not onlycause a gentle movement of the bowels but aid digestion and strengthen the stomach. —o t FOR A BILIOUS ATTACK.

If you have bilious attacks give Chamberlain’s Tablets a trial. They are excellent. Willis Browning, Pattonsburg, Mo., has this to say of them: “About a year ago my wife used a bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets and they cured her of a bad bil-

Chicago, July 24.—G. M. Stadelman, vice president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, owners of the ill-fated dirigible which took the lives of thirteen and injured twentyeight other persons when it burned and crashed through the skylight of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, Monday, has issued a statement through his attorney saying that the company will pay all expenses caused by the accident. “Any families who have suffered because of this accident will only have to present the hills to our company to have them paid,” the statement said. "Irrespective of v^hat the investigations may disclose as to oar respon sibility, we wish to be allowed to afford all possible facilities for the care of the persons and families afflicted. The company also offered to assume full financial responsibility for damagt* wrought in the bank." Because of the lack of law covering the case it is probable there will be no criminal prosecution, Coroner Hoffman said today. Investigations by federal and state authorities to fix responsibility for the accident, which were adjourney yesterday, will be resumed Friday. The thirteenth victim died late yesterday. He was Marcus A. Callopy, bank teller, who was burned by flaming gasoline. o “RIM” FLIGHT IS RESl MED.

The Indiana State Bankers’ Association and the farm management division of the department of agricultural extension, Purdue University, are co-operating to give Hoosier farmers more direct assistance in keeping a simple record of the farm business so that income tax returns will be easier to make. During the last year sixty-eight banks in fortysix counties have placed more than 9.000 roc ird books with farmers. Keeping books on farm business is difficult with most of the record books that are now available. Farmers are tired after they have worked in the field all diyt and have little time to devote to book-keeping, so the book they will use Must necessarily be easily kept in a short time. In order that a book of this kind may be available to them, the Purdue farm management department has revised its former record book, making changes which the experience of more than 5.000 farmers who have kept records has shown desirable. These new farm record books will be placed with bankers at the cost of publication. An agricultural credit statement is included in the additions to the new book. This will enable bankers to more intelligently extend or withhold credit to farmers, if made use of, so that banks may obtain a direct benefit from the use of the books as well, as farmers. At the end of the year assistance will be available from the Purdue farm management department in helping farmers summarize their records to find the margin of profit or loss and see where modifications may be made in the farm business to increase the net rturns. Agricultural agents of the different counties will co-operate in the distribution of books.

Mr. Bosworth announced that banks will be expected to get their orders in by August 1. When the banks have been supplied, the hand grenqdes will be provided for industrial establishments that have organized War Savings Societies. The members of these societies will be required to buy a certain number of stamps before they are entitled to hand grenade savings banks.

WILL NOT OFFER FRENCH TREATY AT THIS TIME

Washington, July 25. — President Wilson does not now plan to present to the Senate the supplemental treaty with France, promising aid in case of German aggression, until after he returns from his tour »f the country. This statement was made today at the White House. When the President presents the treaty, he will accompany it with an explanatory address to the Senate. No statement was made at the White House with regard to assertions in the Senate yesterday that the President had violated a section of the treaty by not presenting it simultaneously with the treaty of Versailles.

Mann says the reports of disorganization in the Republican forces in the House is “newspaper talk,” and that the present Republican leaders “are young yet.” But he was not on the floor ten minute- when he was given an ovation by both Republicans and Democrats, and a short time later he began to direct the Republican legislative wheels. There have been several night meetings of the Republican leaders within the lust few weeks. The situation in the House has been discussed and the criticism has been rather severe. Julius Kahn, chairman of the House committee on military affairs, and Representative Butler, chairman of the naval affairs committee, have been outspoken in their denunciation of the manner in which things have been going.

FARM LANDS SELL; FOUR DEALS MADE

FOREST FIRES SUBSIDE. Spokane, Wash.. Julv 25.—The forest fire situation in western Montana and northern Idaho, which has been regarded by forest officials as critical for the last ten days, seemed much improved today after heavy rains. Tourists were said to have aban doned chaltes in Glacier National Park which were threatened by fires. The fire between Sand Point and Hope, Idaho, was still burning after having covered approximately fiftysquare miles.

Four farm sale deals totaling more than $50,000 were reported last Friday by S. C. Sayers, manager of the Central Trust Company. The deals were all closed within the past eight days. Frank Donner of this city is one of those who has acquired a farm through the agency of the trust company. Mr. Donner has purchased the Ueutsahan land in Madison township for a consideration of $11,500. There is 175 acres in the farm. Frank Alice of this city has sold his Warren township farm to Louis Morrison, of CToverdale, for a consideration of 19,000. There are 194 acres in this farm. The sixty-acre farm in Jefferson township owned bv Frank Morrison has been sold to Floyd Love for a consideration of $7,800. The other sale reported is the sale of the Vince Jeffries farm in Franklin township, east of Fincastle, for a consideration of $12,000. O 11 ■

Great improvements are being made this summer at the Greencastle Gas Company plant in South Greencastle. The work, which is being done under the supervision of H. E. Burkhalter, manager, will do away with future gas shortages. AH equipment used in the manufacture of gas is being duplicated and the plant enlarged and modernized. When completed, the plant will be much more efficient than in the past. When the duplicate equipment is installed ther* w ill be no danger of gas shortage, ai in case one set of equip ment suffers a stoppage or breakdown, the other Can continue to supply the gas. Mr. Burkhalter has, since coming to Greencastle, given the people of the community a fine quality of gas and with a more modern plant he will be able in the future to even improve the service which he now is giving.

POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON Washington, July 25.—Janies R. Mann, of Illinois, former Republican leader of the House, has again come into his own. Within a short time i; is expected that Mann again will be on the floor every dav. keeping in touch with all legislation and directing t’re House Republicans in their legislative course. It is the first evidence of an intention upon the part of the Republicans to abandon their program of permitting a few states in the East to dominate the entire congress. It is possible the West may yet be recognized and that what New York demands may not be granted entirely. Within the last few months it has been impressed upon this Congress with considerable emphasis that 52 per cent of the voting strength o: the country lies in the (Mississippi

valley alone.

Mann was beaten decisively for the speakership just a few months ago. A Mann figurehead leader, however, was named to direct the battles, Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming beimt given the task. The responsibility, the task and the fact that he was shorn of much of the power he needed to control the House doomed him to failure. And the failure has come until it is generally admitted, admitted even now and then by Republican newspapers in the East, that Champ Clark told the truth when he described this Congress as “one concen-

trated growl.”

Mann’s return will mean at least that some effort will be made to do something in the House. With all the possibility of the reconstruction period there ha» been nothing done. Congress has devoted all its time to passing some bills which the Republicans in the Senate held up in a Republican filibuster in the last session. They refused to work for three days and then pul in two months doing the work which esuld have been done in those three days. The greatest fault Mann had is his idea that it is not reason to commend the effort of a Democrat now and then. His last end greatest mistake was to commend the President for his effort to create a league of nations. His commendation was indirect in that he criticised without stint the Republican opposition, but it was sufficient commendation to mark him for slaughter. With him in control in the House, the Senate policy of waiting to see what the morning papers said the President would do and then de-

Special attention has been called recently to the endeavor to pass the vocational education bill over the veto of the President. A blunder had been made in refusing to grant sufficient money to assure wounded soldiers and sailors and marines the benefit of the educational system. The President refused to sign the bill until the appropriation was increased. The course to pursue was to have admitted the mistake and co-operated with the President, but the Republican leaders began to play politics. Their tactics brought thousands of letters from soldiers who condemned them and applauded the President. The investigation into the conduct of the war has fallen so flat that there is now talk of discontinuing the work. As the Democrats expected when they joined in asking that the investigation be made, the onlv thing which has been shown is the wonderful efficiency of the militarv forces in this war and the able manner in which the war and navy departments brought the enemy to terms. A highly paid publicity man envaged by the Republican national committee has failed to get any result from this committee. The “drvs” contended that Representative Mondell was responsible for the delay in passing the prohibition enforcement bill. The Republican “wets” blame him for not endeavoring to have some of the radical sections of the bill wiped out. Speaker Gillett is criticised for putting himself in a hole when he refused to recognize a Democratic member who wanted to propose a welcome for General Pershing. There is little but disorganization. If Mann car get some constructive effort, even though it be of the slightest extent, he will have improved the situation. The history is now one entirely of destruction, a “concentrated

POOR MANAGEMENT REDUCES PROFIT ON NATIVE LAMBS

That the enviable reputation of Idaho lamb is due to careful management which is ordinarily denied the eastern farm flocks is apparent to visitors to the -heep house of any large market. The native lambs, with few exceptions, come to market without having been castrated, and undocked, but after midsummer they are usually “doeved" in another sense at the time of sale sometimes to the extent of two or three dollars a hundred. Even thi> discrimination often fails to show the actual difference in value, buyers in many instances being open to criticism for not making a sufficient spread between the good and common grades. The commendable attitude of Idaho sheepmen toward this neglect was recently shown in their declaration that undocked and uncastrated lambs \xers not “Idaho lambs” and any such were barred from competition in the sheep club classes of that state. The annual loss to farm flock owners from neglecting these important features in management must total millions of dollars. The long tailed, bucky lambs have not only run off their milk fat, but have done the rest of the flock an undetermined injury. There is a striking lack of uniformity in native lambs and this is probably as much due to neglected management as parasites. Beside the lack of uniformity and the loss of weigh* thc* carcass of the ram lamb is inferior t that of the wether. Buck lamb carcasses often cut <1 to 8 per cent more of thc low priced cuts than wethers. Their meat is coarse grained, redder in color and as a rule not ns highly finished. Agricultural colleges have urged castration for years until it is t.resome to see the articles in print. The problem is unchanged. One commission man with years of experience in selling sheep, upon being asked if the condition was not getting worse, replied “No, it can’t. The farmer* never did castrate their lambs and they haven’t changed their ways."
