Armory Closed Great consternation among members of Phi Delta Kappa and the younger social Set was occasioned Tuesday by ' the closing of the local armory, presumably upon orders of officials at Columbus. The fraternity doubtless will take the matter up with Governor Cox to ascertain the reason for this action. Several months ago when Company F, Third regiment, O. N. G.. was mustered out of service because its number has fallen below the standard, the building was closed to public use. Former County Representative Swan, however, Interested himself and was instrumental In having it re-opened. The local Phi Delta chapter had been in charge since then, using it as quarters and for accommodating social dancing parties. No Interest in Primary Because of the lack of contests, little interest was taken in Tuesday's primary and a light vote was cast. In but two instances did contests present themselves. One was in the race for Republican nomination for marshal, and in this instance Dick Somers won over A. M. Runyon and W. J. Evans. The other contest was between C. O. Fisher and J. H. Wilson, Jr., seeking the Republican nomination for clerk. Wilson was the winner of this race. Willard Armstrong was unopposed for nomination as the Democratic candidate for marshal. . The ticket voted is as follows: Mayor. S. B. Foos, Democrat; Harry L. Risljlger, Republican; Treasurer, C. F. Ressler. Democrat; J. E. Miltenberger, Republican; Council, W. R. Deem, J. W. Harris, T. W. Gates, Clem Arnold. H. E. Dalrymple and ' John Ernst, Democrats; H. B. Clear, J. S. Fisher. E. E. Morrow, H. A. Niswander, and F. E. Overholser, Republicans. Board of Public Affairs, D. M. Swihart and D. H. Deem, Democrats; T. J. Mlnton, R. A. Hiestand and F. A. Price, Republicans. Board of Education. H. C. Albaugh, C. C. Spring and H. W. Fulton, Democrats; Charles S. Bloom, R. M. Conover and E. P. Vaughan, Republicans. Memorial for Harris Members of the county courthouse building commission have acted favorably upon an opplication for permission to incorporate in the walls of the new temple of justice a memorial tablet honoring the late A. L. Harris, former governor of Ohio, and the most prominent citizen to whom Preble county ever laid claim. The ' memorial ' tablet will carry engraved upon it the famous Gettysburg address of Lincoln, and will be provided by the late governor's son, Walter C. Harris, of Brooklyn. Members of the Reichstag, Ger- . raany's lower hoase, are elected by un. jversal suffrage, for five years; members of the Bundestrat the upper house are appointed by the governments of the different states of Germany. RENEWED TESTIMONY No one in Richmond who suffers backache, headache, or distressing . urinary ills can afford to ignore this Richmond man's twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Richmond resident can doubt. F. P. Brooks, prop, second-hand store, 33 S. Fifth St., Richmond, says: "I had pain tn my back and sides that teemed like lumbago. I also had rheu- ' niatic twinges and my kidneys were out of order. I used Doan's Kidney , Pills, procured at Luken & Co. 'a Drug Store and they made me feel much better." (Statement given April 24. 1915.) On Sept. 13, 1915. Mr. Brooks said: "The only time I have any trouble with my kidneys Is when I catch cold. I then use a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and always with good results." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brooks has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mllburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.

Aug. 15 With more than thirty acres of land under cultivation in Brooklyn the members of the street cleaning department are supplying their families with vegetables that formerly came from the corner grocer and at the same time giving a practical demonstration of wh,at can be done by following the "Hoover policies."

GAMBLE ON SHIP SHARES AMSTERDAM. Aug. 15. The Vienna correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt asserts that huge fortunes are being made on the Vienna bourse by speculation in Shipping shares. These are being forced up by a group of Trieste financiers and, as an instance of the remarkable rise which has occurred, the correspondent says Austro-Amerlcana shares which stood at 540 in April, were quoted at 1,850 July, while those of other shipping companies are being quoted proportionately high. The ancient inhabitants of Peru knew, how , to trepan skulls and they had pottery much like that of ancient Greece.

WAR INSURANCE PLAN TG HELP DEPENDENTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Those young men in Indiana who would like to go into the army, but who fear that wives and children may be left destitute if they do go may feel reassured by new legislation which the government is going to put through soon. This is no less than the government's war insurance plan, which includes, among other things, provision for the maintenance of a family left at home by a soldier. This bill is now receiving the attention of committees of the senate, and house. Practically no changes will- be made in it. It will be enacted into law immediately following the passage of the urgent deficiency bill, which will follow the revenue bill. Provision for Dependents The details of the government's war insurance plan have already been made public. It i made plain that a man with three children enlisting as a private can assure himself pay at the rate of $18 a month, when in foreign service, and can assure his wife and children ?52.5 a month on which to live In fact, the government will compel men enlisting in the array to allot not to exceed one-half of their pay for their dependents, and the government will, in turn, add to it about twice as much for their support. As a general proposition, the war department proposes to exempt men who have dependents on them for the sake of sparing, Jn so far as possible, the horrors of war to the women and children of this country. It is inevitable, however, that there should be some exceptions to this general proposition, and that, along with the unmarried men, some few married men should go to the front. SOLVE COAL PROBLEM WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Solution of the coal 'shortage problem of the northwestern states is emminent, Francis S. Peabody, chairman of the coal production committee of the counsel of defense, declared today. Relief will be afforded by a preferential shipping order, he predicted, but if that fails commandeering of cars probably will be resorted to. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

U. S. Plans to Appeal All Dependency Cases

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15. Among the telegrams received Monday from Brigadier-General Crowder. the provost marshal-general at Washington, by Jesse E. Eschbach, state conscription agent, was one In which the state was ordered to instruct the local persons designated to sea that the United States gets a fair deal in exemption matters to carry appeals from local selection boards to district appeal boards in all dependency cases. The telegram follows: "Reference person designated to take appeals. It was not contemplated that this designation should carry rental of offices for compensation. Where, in your opinion, there Is sufficient work to justify clerical assistance, such assistance will be allowed on your recdmmendatlon. Not Courts of Procedure. "Whenever information is laid before persons designated to carry ap; peals to the district appeal boards for the government indicating that claims of exemption or discharge before the local boards are unmeritorious, this person may inform the local board, or if cases all decided, should take an appeal. He should also take appeals in cases where he thinks government's interest suffers by the action of the board. He should consider himself rather as one working In co-operation with the board than as an attorney appearing before it. The boards are not courts and their procedure Is not controversial. Of course, appeals must be taken in all dependency cases." Copies of this telegam were sent by Mr. Eschbach to all persons designated to take these appeals. Another tele gram received by Mr. Eschbach referred to the much mooted question of those who claim exemption because of religious scruples against war. The telegram follows: "Please Inform local boards that per sons considered under Paragraph I. Section 20, of regulations, will be drafted, then forwarded to mobilization camps and will make up part of a quota from states and districts from which they come, and will be assigned to duty in a capacity declared by the President to be noncombatant. " The potato, the world's greatest vegetable crop, and corn, which is America's greatest crop, both are owed to the Incas of Peru, who cultivated them many centuries ago.
