PREBLE REPORTS FOURTH NORMAL TOBACCO CROP Early Frost Adds to Setbacks Association Continues to Hold 1918 Crop. EATON. O., Aug. 25. Twenty-five.
rer cent of a normal tobacco crop for
1919 In Preble county Is indicated at this time, according to officers and members of the county tobacco grow, ere" association. This estimate, they say, is based upon a survey of the situation in the county. . With just about one-half of a normal acreage of 6,000 planted this season, and with about a half crop yield to the total acreage, they have the basis on which they reach their conclusions they say. Personal inspection of the tobacco growing districts of the Miami Valley develops about the same conditions as in Preble county, they claim. Acuteness to local county conditions is added by fears of early frost. The planting season was late because of weather conditions. Drought in the
early summer retarded growth and it Is said much of the tobacco will not develop properly. The local county association continues to hold its 1918 crop and the officers and members declare they will continue to hold out until such time as they can get a fair profit on cost of production. They say they are in position to hold until next spring if necessary. Offers of 18 cents a pound, the top price, thus far, has been refused, except in one or two instances where the members were leaving the county and their crops were sold through the asociatlon's selling committee. These were sold at 18 cents, they say. While some sections of the Miami valley are not organized, it is said the organized sections are holding for higher prices. The local association estimates that probably 45 per cent, of the 1918 crop In the Miami valley has been marketed at prices ranging from 10 to 18 cents. Hold Elevator Meetings. Beginning this evening at Eldorado a series of evening meetings will be held this week to further interest in the proposed co-operative elevator association or farmers' equity union, in Preble county. The final meeting will be held here Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which C. O. Drayton, of Greenville, 111., lecturer for the National Farmers' Equity Union, will deliver an address. The meetings at the several points in the county are scheduled to open at 8 o'clock. The meeting this evening at Eldorado will be held in the high school building. Tuesday evening a meeting will be held in the high school building at Campbellstown. Thursday's meeting will be held in the high school building of Lanier township, and Friday evening in the high school building in Dixon township. Fix Teachers' Salaries.

WASHINGTON Harold Lockwood In "A Man ol
Honor," which comes to the Washington theatre today and tomorrow, has
a role particularly well adapted to his
dynamic, winning personality, and does the best work of his brilliant career. The story is a screen-version
of Henry Kitchell Webster's popular
novel. It is not a military theme, but
a stirring drama of love and finance. The story revolves around a young ex-newspaper reporter, David Smith, who is in charge of an enterprise- of developing the resources of a semi-
tropical island for a group of promot
ers. Success attends Smith s efforts,
but the promoters wish to keep this
fact from the email stockholders, and by means of false reports to freeze
out all the Bmall investors for theih j
own prom, emjin reiuses to oecome a party to such a fraud, however, and announces to Beaumont, the head of the promotion company, that he wlli fight to protect the small stockholder. He goes through with his promise and not only beats Beaumont at his game of high finance, but carries off his daughter, Christabel. Mabel Normand's latest Goldwyn Picture, "Upstairs," presents the famous comedienne in a two-in-one role. First you see her as the overall-clad rascal who slings hash in the big kitchens of a big hotel. Next you see
her garbed in queenly finery the center of all eyes as the ragtime stepper in the cabaret of the famous Ritz, New York. A story of the sunny side cf life with a laugh at every flicker. Perley Poore Sheean is the author if "Upstairs." The story delighted millions of readers during its recent pub
lication in Munsey's Magazine. Clar
ence G. Badger, noted for his direction of Mabel Normand in "Sis Hopkins," and other of her Goldwyn successes, staged the new play.

PREBLE SHOOTING STILL IS MYSTERY
EATON, O., Aug, 25. -More or less mystery continues to surround the alleged attempted shooting of James E. Beaseley, 45, farmer, of near Lewisburg, by Ed Compson, 52, which took place last Friday night at Beaseley's home, where Compson had lived a year and where he and Beaseley lived alone. Compson, who is in jail here in default of $1,000 bond, charged with shooting to kill, requested Sheriff George Jones to admit no one to the Jail to see him, except Attorney Harry G. King, whom Compson has retained to defend him. Thought Beaseley a Prowler. It is presumed his counsel has advised him to talk to no one regarding the affair. Sheriff Jones says all he has been able to get out of Compson relative to the shooting is that he thought Beaseley was someone else prowling around. Officials believe there is something connected with the affair that has not been brought to light. Beaseley, the officials say, claims he and Compson had not had any trouble. Compson is
i said to say the same.
The officials eay Compson stated after his arrest, when questioned as to whether he did not hear Beaseley drive into the lane, he said he did not. The position of Beaseley's face and the slight turn of his body as he was discarding the quid of tobacco is believed to have saved him from receiving the full charge of shot in the face or neck. The coat with the riddled shoulder and the gun are in possession of Sheriff Jones and are held as evidence in the case. After the shooting, officials say. Beaseley was anxious for the safety of his children and his mother and was taken to hem by the officials as soon as possible. Compson says he is a bricklayer, which statement is borne out by several union workmen's cards found among his personal effects that aio In charge of Sheriff Jones, which were issued in different cities. He told the officials that he is married but that he and his wife have not lived together the last three or four years. Came from Muncie. It is the opinion of officials that Compson has been goig under the name of Thompson, Comston, and Compson, as letters and other papers in his effects bear these names. He is said to have come to Beaseley's about a year ago from Muncie, Ind., where, according to officials, he said he was acquainted with a widowed sister of Beaseley's. Letters and other documents belonging to him indicate that he had worked in Dayton, Middletown, Toledo and Charleston, W. Va. Sheriff Jones Bays Compson told him he earned a dollar an hour on the last Job of bricklaying he did.
The Theatres
MURRETTE. Anita Stewart as Berenice, a little Italian girl, fills in the void in the life of a New York artist in "Human Desire," which Is shown at the Murrette theatre today. In this new feature, which is being distributed by First National, Miss Stewart has a role for which she is extraordinarily fitted tempermentally and physically. Robert Bruce, who has won his way high in American art circles, is married to a cold, unsympathetic wife. No matter what work he does, or what new honors come to him, she is not appreciative. They have no children, and the wife wants none, as 6he thinks they are too much bother. So, with none in his family to show the little attentions which his sensitive artist's soul craves, Bruce Is unhappy. Things reach the pass where he and his wife feel that they cannot go on living together, and the wife decides that she will take a trip to Italy so that she may think over a permanent separation. Fate dictates that this move shall bring her husband In the end happiness, and that she shall be the instrument used. With a companion she visits the convent in which may be seen the Frampini Madonna. There the American woman finds a little Italian girl who has been brought up inside the convent, innocent and unacquainted with the ways of the world. She longs for knowledge of how people live outside, but most of all she longs for babies. She has seen but one, that in the arms of the Madonna. She asks the American
woman If there are real babies of
flesh and blood In the world. The woman tells her that there are many
babies in America, and that some of
them are cold and hungry. MURRAY. Bessie Barriscale, starring in
"Tangled Threads, believes In a
"League of Grass Widows." "Although I cannot be placed in that catagory, I believe that grass widows
should band themselves together for
mutual protection," said the popular
little star when seen during the production of "Tangled Threads," show
ing at the Murray. "I am an ardent advocate of personal self-determination as well as nationally. If a certain number of people
of the same race have a right to autonomy, certainly grass widows, who constitute quite a proportion of our social element, should have protection against the Hun-likQ methods of the
free-love hounds who consider them legitimate prey for their masculine depredations, "It is a well-known fact that grass
widows have no chance with these birds of prey who specialize in those members of the fairer sex who have had a touch of real life. "Wouldn't it be nice if the neutrality of grass widows should be declared .a
Protective League Asks
Mayor to Affiliate The Public Protective League, an organization of firms and business
establishments for the protection of the public and themselves, Monday sent a letter to Mayor Zimmerman,
asking him and members of the official j family to affiliate with them for the
mutual assistance that would be rendered to both public and themselves.
