LAWYERS SEEK FEE ; OF $500 IN AUSTIN WILL CASE AT EATON 1 i i i ii m

EATON, O., Dec. 13. Fee of $500 is sought by a Dayton, O., law firm and an Eaton attorney from a distributive share of Charles E. Winters, of Cincinnati, formerly of Eaton, as a legatee under the will of the late Lola M. Austin, of Eaton, which was contested through the several courts to the supreme court. Oscar F. and Richard L. Davlsson and P. J. Sheridan constitute the Dayton law firm, who with V. V. Brumbaugh, local lawyer, combine in seeking the fee. although they admit they did not directly represent Winters in the court litigation involving the will. The attorneys have filed a formal application in common court here in which they seek an order from Judge A. C. Risinger directing A. J. Hiestand. administrator, with the will annexed, of the late Lola Austin, to pay them $500 as a fee from the distributive share of Winters now in his hands. Estate Valued at $60,000 Mrs. Austin, widow, without chilren, by will, disposed of an estate valued at about $60,000. The will was submitted in common pleas court for construction. The will bequeathed the r ,o. wrw h estate. One heir contended that he was entitled to his mother's share, while heirs of other aunts claimed the legacies should be prorated. The latter contention was upheld by common pleas court. The supreme court affirmed the lower court?. Brumbaugh and the Dayton law firm represented the heirs of the late Sarah Wint,res. with the exception of Charles Winters, according to their admission. In the litigation. The lawyers aver their efforts resulted in tho Winters heirs' interest, including Charles Winters, being increased from a 1-25 part to a 1-18 part, which gave Charles Winters about $1,500 more. It is from this $1,500 that the lawyers think they are entitled to the $500 fee. Seek Adjustment. Tangled condition of an account involving about $10,000 existing between F. R. Christman, of Eaton, and J. C. Connell, of Camden, Is to be straight ened out by a referee or master com mififilnnar inetoaH rtf vnintr t ll rrll oh thp ! courts, as the litigants have agreed . - - i,i i i i to waive tho right of trial by jury and have a master commissioner or referee adjust the matter. Christman had brought suit in the courts. Judge A. C. Risinger has appointed Harvey H. Hawkins, local accountant, as a referee to take charge of all books and records involved in the controversy. He is to complete the work within a reasonable length of time and file his report with the court. Christman and Connell are automobile dealers. The alleged account represents various and numerous business transactions between the two men. Poultry Show Closes. Although advertised to close Tuesday, the third annual show of the Western Ohio Poultry Fanciers' club c'.osed Sunday night, after having held forth since last Tuesday in the armory here. The show was open all day Sunday and large crowds viewed Hie 600 birds on exhibition. Visitors were here from nearby cities and towns, among them a number of poultry fanciers. Secretary Harry W. Deem of the club, states the show broke about even in a financial way. He stated the show would be staged again next year. In a published list of special awards made in the show F. S. Smith, of Eaton, was credited with having received a $5 special for the best display in the Mediterranean class, when the special should have been credited to P. M. Garland, of Eaton, on Black Minorcas. Secretary Deem states the error was detected after the list had been given out for publication. Elect Officers.

"Not only his own people but mankind stopped to listen. The President had been re-elected only five months before because "he kept us out of war." Alas, the war would not keep out of the United States. For two years and a half the President and people together had continued to draw back from the yawning inferno into which events were pushing them. As lately as June, 1916, both political parties in their National conventions, agreed on one thing and one thhig only: Each squarely declared Itself in favor of neutrality. Nevertheless the President himself publicly admitted a few days before his re-election that "neutrality is played out." As the one remaining means of keeping us out of war, he tried to stop the war in December and again in January by appealing to the belligerents to make peace. His voice was drowned in the roar of the guns. The war took on new fury, with the resumption of ruthless submarining. , J a . ,5 before at our demand.

The filibustering Senate, failing to give him this authority, he proceeded himself to arm them.

Or should we join forces with them unreservedly, contrary to the historic policy of America to go it alone.? Those alternatives were in every mind in that bewildering period, and the President had to choose between them in framing the policy to be submitted to Congress.

The cost of the government of Mexico was reduced by 60,000,000 pesos during the first six months of the provisional ad ministration of President Adolfo de la Huuerta, according to data furnished to representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce at a recent conference with the President. (Nominal- j ly a peso is worth 50 cents.) It was declared that this amount is to be added to a fund which is ac- j cumulating to be applied to payment on the national debt. The president explained that one economy contemplated by the government would necessitate an immediate large outlay of money. This was the reduction of the federal army to half its original size, together with the predion which is being made to establish rgricultural colonies for ex-soldiers. It was explained that although the initial expense might be large, it was believed that after the first year the soldiers would be producers and would add to the national income rather than take from it. 335Z Tattern 3352 was used for this pretty style.

Our Presidents

MORGAN 1916 May, Germany promised the United States to observe International law on the sea. June, Republican and Democratic Conventions declared for neutrality. Oct. 26, President Wilson declared at Cincinnati, "Neutrality is played out." Dec. 20, asked the belligerents to discuss peace. 1917 Jan. 22, proposed that we should join in world league for peace if the belligerents stopped fighting. Feb. 3, broke off diplomatic relations with Germany on her renewal of ruthless submarining. Feb. 26, asked Congress to authorize arming of our merchant ships, but Senate filibuster defeated aim. March 12, proceeded to arm them. March 21, called Congress In extra session. April 2, read his war message to Congress. nership with the Entente Allies, pooling with them all our resources, our man power, our money and our producing power, and resorting for the first time in our history to compulsory universal military service. The broad plan which he unfolded and which Congress quickly approved assured in advance the success of the great, unparalleled undertaking, and he pushed it through to victory with grim, unrelenting persistence. Americans generally assumed at the start, and the British Government agreed with them, that we should not have to send a great array to Europe, if indeed any at all. But when it became an imperative necessity to go at double quick to the relief of the broken line in France, the foundation was so well laid that we rose to the unforseen emergency, building up in a XMAS HOSE See our Special Hose, J1.0C values at 70c LICHTENFEL'S 1010 Main St.

The brains of the country, all the talents were mobilized for the war, merchants and scientists, bankers and railroad men, labor leaders and clergymen, each being charged with the task for which his training fitted him. The chronic weakness of our war-making favoritism rarely was permitted to show its head. Mistakes aplenty were made in meeting some of the new problems of warfare. But at least we did not repeat the mistakes of our past wars. For once our soldiers were not sent to the front under political Gen
