LOW DELINQUENCY SHOWS PROSPERITY IN PREBLE COUNTY EATON, O., July 24.- The prosperity of Preble county farmers and citizens generally is shown by the fact that when the tax books of COunty Treasurer Sharkey were closed there existed a delinquency of less than two thousand dollars. In two or three townships' not a foot of ground is on the delinquent list. The tax duplicate lists property to the amount of $45,000,000, and the total collection annually is approximately $405,000. If all this wealth were equally divided, each one of the county's 23,000 inhabitants would have more than $1,700 for his share. The greatest single day's business the office ever had was transacted July 20, when Treasurer Sharkey and Deputy Hunter collected taxes totaling $49,895.81. The system employed by Treasurer Sharkey has been recommended for use in other counties by several accountants of the state bureau.

These photographs show John Hays Hammond, Jr the young son of the financier and mining engineer, and two of the inventions which have brought him before the public. In the upper picture Mr. Hammond is seen coaxing1 along his "electric dog," which is a me

chanical contrivance that follows In the lower picture is the ed States army officers to such an may be made an American secret The old rule that sons of able men don't amount to much is ill observed in the United States. A notable case in point is John Hays Hammond, Jr., son of the mining engineer and financier. Just at present young Hammond is getting greater publicity than his father. It seems probable that the German army technicians have appropriated his thermit shell, which will gnaw its w,ay through steel girders. His wireless-controlled torpedo "for harbor, defence is about to be adopted by the United States military service. He will probably sit some day on Secretary of the Navy Daniels' new Board of Inventors, with Edison and Ford and Steinmetz. This is considerable progress for even a young American to make in five years out of college. Hammond follows right after his dad in that unofficial gazette of celebrities. "Who's Who in America." We learn there that the inventor was born in San Francisco April 13, 1888. He is therefore twen ty-seven years old. Abjures Society. Hammond is a hard-bitten young American, to use a phrase of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Just at the "tango age," when with his father's great wealth he could cut a wide swath in gay and frivolous society, he has devoted his days and nights to obstruse calculations, endless blueprints and sputtering dynamos. His keen, lean face and spare figure reminds one much of Henry Ford. Both men are hard-headed practical Yankees without a bit of fuss or palaver about them. Reading further in our "Who's Who" we find that in 1812, two years after his graduation from the Sheffield Scientific school of Yale University, Mr. Hammond was a delegate by appointment of the United States government to the Radio-Telegraphic Convention at London. He is, moreover, the treasurer and chairman of the committee on membership of the Institute of Radio-Engineers, a member of the advisory committee of the Aerodynamic Laboratory of the Smithsonian Institution and a member of the Royal Society of Arts of London. Succeeds Through Work. All this Mr. Hammond has done with three years still to go to the thirty mark not by being an infant prodigy, but by hard work, by driving every nerve and fibre of his wiry body at full speed. Mr. Hammond has an office in lower Broadway, New York City, but has done most of his work in the more inspiring and less distracting atmosphere of a beautiful little slate-roofed laboratory situated in the side of a craig overlooking the water at Gloucester, Mass. Here he has conducted the important experiments which may mean much to America some day in repelling a powerful enemy. Nikola Tesla was the pioneer in telautomatics, as the branch of electrical science to which Mr. Hammond has devoted himself is called. Telautomatics is the control of mechanical movements at a great distance by means of wireless waves. Mr. Hammond is not the first person to control a water craft at a distance by wireless. But he is the first man to do this effectively. He has taken out more than one hundred patents to . protect his inventions. Incidentally he has spent fifty thousand dollars in experiments. Until Mr. Hammond improved on the previous devices, it was not possible to guide by wireless a torpedo making a greater speed than eight miles an hour and even then it was impossible to prevent the interference of a hostile wireless apparatus. The young inventor has solved bith

extent that Congress will be asked to appropriate money that it

and used only to defend the coast these difficulties. He can control a boat or torpedo making thirty-three knots or thirty eight miles an hour. Wireless transmitters much more powerful than his own have tried in vain to check the direction of his boat. The secretary of war, Mr. Hammond recently announced, has recommended tbat the Hammond system be purchased by this government and be kept as an American secret. If Congress will appropriate the money a number of wireless plants and torpedo units to be directed by radio will be constructed. One of the first of these will be installed at Fisher's Island, Long Island Sound, and here all the testwork In torpedo units will be carried out. War Department Silent. The war department is keeping very mum on the subject. It is not regarded as desirable that any official publicity be sought, especially as agents of belligerent European powers are ever ready to grab up any new device which seems to promise use in warfare. ' It was well known in Washington, however, that the army officers of the commission which visited Gloucester were enthusiastic when they returned here. They saw Mr. Hammond put his famous wireless boat, the Natalia, through its paces without a single failure to respond to radio control. Sitting m his laboratory on shore, the inventor put the Natalia on her course and held her there until he wished to turn, when" she took the precise angle he desired. He demonstrated that he could control the Natalia for the ordinary range of vision, which is about eight miles on the ocean surface. Indeed, the distance of control is limited only by the

Weaver, chief of the Coast Artiller.- Corps, said in regard to the Hammond invention. "If such a means of attack were added to those we now have we would then be able to attack an enemy's ship by mortar fire falling vertically on the decks of the ships, by gunfire against the side, turret and barbetter armor and by mines and radio-controlled torpedo botow water. To test the possibility of interfering with the wireless control of the Natalia the Dolphin which has the best radio-transmitting apparatus In the United States Navy, was sent to Gloucester and by breaking in with her powerful waves attempted to neutralize or disarrange the message from the shore. The experiment continued many bours. Throughout al) this time the little Natalia darted about under perfect control, which the Dolphin operator trid in vain to fathom the secret and send out other vibrations which would confuse ber. Not until the Dolphin was only 230 feet distance from the Natalia could the shore control be affected. That would be too close ofr its battleship victim to stop a torpedo. It is suggested that the final form the radio-directed torpedo may take will be that of a submarine running a few feet below the surface or a hydroplane travelling at immense speed on the surface of the water.

Movements of new grain have not been suficient to be considered responsible, and neither have shipments of other goods produced in the Mississippi valley. Officials were unable to state whether the increase was due to a slight awakening in different industries or not. Increased receipts In the passenger department have been due to the attractions of the northern summer resorts for tourists.
