EATON ASSAULT CASE EXPECTED TO REACH JURY ON WEDNESDAY . EATON, O., July 21. It was expected that the damage case of Harley Creager, Montgomery county, against Perry Eikenberry and Perry Kretzer, Preble county, which opened Tuesday morning In common pleas court, probably would go to the Jury late this afternoon. Judge A, C. Rlslnger Is persldlng at the trial.

Creager Is suing Eikenberry and Kretzer for $5,080 lor Injuries allegedly sustained when the two men allegedly assaulted him one night, more 1han a year ago, In Montgomery

county. Creager avers the two men halted his automobile on a roadway at Huffman Hill and that he was

struck on the head with a stone and In

the face with a spark-plug wrench.

Testimony In the trial developed

that Creager, his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Ora Kreltzer had, the evening of the alleged assault, been at a pleasure park near Dayton. Kretzer, his brcther, Oliver Kretzer, and Mr. and Mrs. Eikenberry also were at the same park. An ill feeling had sprung up between Creager and Eikenberrry and Kretzer at a previous time and words passed between them at the park. When the Creager party left the park In his automobile the Kretzer and Eikenberry party followed in their automobile, the testimony showed. While ascending a hill Creager's car was overtaken and at this point the alleged assault was committed. It Is said that after the alleged assault Creager had Kretzer and Eikenberry arrested by Montgomery county authorities and that the two men pleaded guilty in the courts in Dayton and were given a suspended sentence and fine. After that Creager brought his damage suit in the Preble county

courts. Eikenberry and Kretzer reside in the southeast part of Preble county, in the vicinity of Gratia. EATON, O., July 21. Over the counter in the county treasurer's office, Treasurer C. E.

BERNSTORFF PLEADS

FOR U. S. FRIENDSHIP

(By Associated Press) BERLIN, July 21. Count Von Bern-

storff. former German ambassador to the United States, in a new periodical, "Getreue Eckbart," urges that "all our efforts should be directed toward making our business relations ' with

the United States the closest pos-

ible." He declares that Germany must ex

pect nothing from America politically,

"as the Americans are tired from a humanitarian standpoint." This, he says, is explainable by the fact that the "war proved a disappointment for the United States." Von Bernstorff points out that the Hanseatics, who always had been able to get on with the Americans, have

succeeded in securing American assistance to rebuild Germany's mercantile fleet and he believes this may develop into some arrangement to obtain raw materials. After emphasizing the necessity for the Germans to work hard at reconstruction, as they could only pay their debts by labor, the former ambassador foreshadows the possibility that American capital and German labor may work together in Russia. As the Americans have but little ex

perience m Russian conditions, he says they might be Induced to enlist German co-operation there.

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN.

The sun dawned on a cloudless sky on Wednesday morning, not only over the Wayne district, but all over the

state. The same weather conditions

are prevailing today throughout the Central West, so It la safe to Bay that farmers are having one of the busiest

days on record.

H. Lw Trick, manager of the Farmers

elevator at Eldorado, O., reports the taking in of about two car loads of new wheat up to noon Wednesday. The

first man to arrive with a lag of wheat was Leslie Dlllman. His wheat tested

60 pounds and he recleved $2.60 per bushel. Mr. Dlllman made delivery on Saturday. , Most farmers considered their grain too wet to thresh until Wednesday morning, but today every rig available is at work In Preble county. At Work at Fountain City. No wheat had been received at Fountain City up to noon on Wednesday, but a few loads were expected in during the day. Thomas Busby and Thomas Dunham opened the ball in this district on Tuesday afternoon.

each threshing out a few loads. No grain cars are set at the elevator,

though a few are ordered, and as the

manager says: "The car situation Is stringent." He has capacity for 20,000 bushels and will buy till choked up. He Is paying $2.53 for No. 2 today. College Corner Pays $2.60.

The College Corner Milling company reported its first receipt of new wheat on Wednesday forenoon. Thomas Buck made a delivery of the first four loads

to come. The grain tested No. 2 and netted him $2.60 per bushel. All rigs are in the fields today and considerable wheat is expected during balance of the week. Cool nights with heavy dews prevents the grain drying as fast as It should, not only in Preble, but In Wayne, Henry and Randolph counties. Arriving at New Paris. George Richards and Son, at New Paris, report a load of rather damp

wheat In on Saturday, testing 61 pounds. The first two men to thresh

III (11 . 1 , W V . V ft ua.iv J till V. v. u Clark, have each delivered a few loads of wheat. These were the only two to bring in grain up to Wednesday noon. A few loads are expected this afternoon. The elevator at Kltchell reports no

wheat in up to noon Wednesday, but as some rigs are running today expect a few loads in before eunset. The

manager thought they would pay about $2.60 today, for No. 2 red. Grain re

ceived such a thorough wetting on

Sunday evening that some of it is

still pretty damp. No Wheat at Cambridge City.

The Cambridge City mill said Wed-

nesday: "We haven't received a

bushel of new wheat so far but are STEALS

expecting the Isaiah Frlcker crop tO start In this afternoon, as he Is now threshing. We rather fear that there will be considerable moisture, as millers who have tested new receipts say there has been 1 per cent over regular No. 2 grading. Most wheat needs a little more sunning up this way. Our 'wheat Is so mixed with grass and timothy that It doesn't dry out Quickly, at least a lot of It is. We shall pay $2.50 for No. 2." Oscar McClure First In. Oscar McClure unloaded the first

new wheat at the Glen Karn elevator

this season. It was delivered on Sat

urday and "wasn't very dry. and tested 69 pounds on account of moisture." Glen Karn is paying $2.58 and $2.55 for numbers 1 and 2 wheat on Wednesday. Market prices are but a oneday affair at this time, and liable to marked fluctuations.

"My whole body was full of red pimples. The skin started to itch

and I would rub it, and the more I scratched the more the pimples spread, and I could not sleep. When it got warm, the pimples itched so I could not. work, and when I rubbed, the ekin would ret

red and burn, and my whole body was filled with eruptions for six months. "Then I started to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After I used them a week I found relief and I only used three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment when I was healed." (Signed) George Buentemeier, Pine Top, Minn., May 30, 1919.
