Tjhe important world news, yet tc hav|e official confirmation, announce the’retirement of Germany, Italy an. Japan from the League of Nations. Thi.t would leave in the league only tw< great nations of Europe: England and France. This is not our affair, for we itre blessedly out and shall never be pushed into the league. „ l|ut with the three nations out of the! “Big Five,” the league will feel like a centipede minus seventy-two leg*. Europe wilPfind itself preparing for war, as in 1914, with no central gathering place, even for talking about peace. Japan feels that the league interferes in exclusively Asiatic matters. Germany feels that she has been badly treated. Italy resents too tptich advice, and being classed .as a child, mentally, by the two big nations-that really are the league. If Japan, Italy and Germany get-mitj that will begin-a’ new European chapter. Add to the list of important and intelligent people now in California Gin.

DOGS SHOT AFTER THEY KILL SHEEP "Uncle Lew” Neff was telling friends on Main street, this week, about the sheep killing, dogs at Irvin Neff’s place. He said Friday morning Irv Nets saw # the dogs chasing his sheep, and he rushed out with his ievoßer. He shot and just nipped a police dog which got away. He caught the collie, and put a wire abound its neck and tied it in his car. He discovered- 12 sheep dead and 3 more crippled. Neff said the dogs must have run the. sheep all night. He took the one dog with him.when he drove around to warn neighbors. ’When he came to Raleigh- Neff’s home, Raleigh said, “Why Irv, that’s my dog.” And then the police dog came home- Raleigh didn’t want to shoot his dogs. Neither did Irv. So they t- ok them to’ where men are working on Road No. 6, and the firtr.g <q.iad prepared itself. The dogs Xve)e turned loose and were shot on the run, punished for sheep killing. . ■ _ __O- — HAVE AUTO WRECK ON WAY TO LAKE Judge Clark and wife and Mrs. Clark’s sister were in an automobile accident, Wednesday last week, soon after they left Chicago to come to their home on Kale Island.

But those who were with him when he was at what is now the Gafill filling station said both these alligators died and were I’ buried. Others claim if one’ of these alligators had escaped and gotten in the lake, as a few insist, that it wouldn’t be as large as the alligator said to ibe in the lake now, that it takes years for alligators to grow to any ' length. i But now comes the World Book eficycloyedia which says: “It was ; formerly supposed that alligators very slowly, but careful investigation shows that they may reach maturity in 4 or 5 years under normal conditions.” And the encyclopedia Britannica ‘says: “Growth is fairly rapid, usually about a foot a X ear under favorable conditions for the first few years, i and mare slow ly thereafter.” i An alligator 1? inches long in 1925, i growing a foot a year, would be (Continued on Last Page)

CROWD WATCHES [PRO GOLF MATCH AT LAKE SUNDAY Tommy Armour, playing in a best ball match, Sunday at the formal dedication of the South Shore Golf Club Inc, tied the epurse record of 66 and also gave a lecture on the “inside swing" of golf which met with the approval of the gallery. Armour and Pug Allen of Tippecanoe Country Club playing against Guy Paulsen of Fort Wayne and Enno Franke of the South Shore Club won the match three up with two holes left to play. Armour proved that he was a master golfer for he played consistently and seemingly without effort. He did nothing spectacular and played so easily that one did not realize the score that he. was making. Perhaps his game appeared so effortless because he kept out of trouble. The game was even up to the third hole which, is 48 yards Iwnu and is a par 5. Franke and Allen went into traps on second shots. Paulsen made a fine shot to the green with a wood club as did Armour-with an iron. In shooting from the trap. Alien overshot the green. Franke was on the green in three but took two puts to hole out. Armour tried to sink his third shot, a put, and missed the! hole by inches. Paulsen sank a long one for an eagle and put his side one upOn the next hole Armour.made the score all even by making the hole in par 4. Allen made a long drive out ahead of everyone else, made a trap on his second shot,' his third was poor, and he picked up. Franke overshot the green on his second shot, into the rough, and Paulsen couldn’t make his putt good. The next hole, 160 yards, was even with Armour, Allen and Franke, taking 3’s, Paulsen a 4. The sixth hole was all even, Armour Allen and Paulsen taking 4, and .FTanke picking up his ball, NJFranke made a. bad shot into the rough on'his drive and lost ground later. On their approach shots, Armour and Allen had to shoot over trees, on this hole. They both succeeded in doing this, making the green in two. On the seventh hole, Armour and Allen were one up on their opponents with Armour making a birdie 3. In making his approach shot, Allen was forced to shoot through trees. His ball hit a tree beyond the green and bounced back on to the green. Allen, Paulsen and Franke made par 4’s on this hole. ! ’ On the eighth hole Franke and Allen drove over the fence and out of bounds. Paulsen made a birdie three as did Armour, so Armour and Allen were still 1 up. On the ninth Armour made another birdie thus putting his side 2 up. On his drive Armour went into a sand trap near the 18th green nearby. His shot from, that sand trap “was quite some shot," as" some golf enthusiast remarked. From the trap he lifted his ball to the ninth green. Allen and Paulsen made 4’s and Franke picked his ball/up after his third shot. No one gained on the tenth hole, all taking par 4’s. On the eleventh Armour, Paulsen and Francke took par 4’s, Alien picking his ball up after his second shot. On the 12th hole the gallery saw Allen make two brassie shots that carried him on the green after he had dubbed his drive. The other three also made the green in 3, and all took two putts for par s’s. The 13th hole, 473 yards, Franke, Allen and . Armour were on the (Continued on Last Page) CHICKENS STOLEN FROM COY SUNDAY Between 40 and 50 chiykens were stolen from Gerald Coy’s farm, near Redmon’s Orchard, Sunday" night.
