teristics. They showed us the beau
tiful home and we can say that it is
a wonder with the quaint dwelling
constructed as it is. with cobble stone
imbedded in concrete and the cling
ing vine which adds to its appear
ance. The clear pools of water di
rectly from the spring which keeps
the wat-.T at a very low temperature
makes a great place for fish of which
they maintain a number of varieties.
Immense beds of water cress cover
much of the surface of the lakes
which the over flowing spring sup
plies. We noticed Mr. Larsh working on
our car and when we were readv to
depart found two large watermel
ons whieh he had placed therein.
Thanks. Mr. Larsh. and also the good
wife for the kindly reception and the
substantial gift of the mellons.
ANOTHER GAME
GONE TO THE-
Union Loses to Wabasli in Game
Played at Union Last Sunday
Score Was Four to Two
The reporter was at Wabash last
Friday and was given to understand
that they were to win the game with
Union the Sunday following. When
we arrived at Union we had thoughts
of asking about the game when the
manager of the I'nion team came to
us and said. "Union played an
'alleged' ball game and that the less
that wa said about it the better."
We nodded that we approved his
stand on the question, but could not
agree with him from some other
stand point. Wabash and a num
ber of ihe fans of that town and
community had gone to Union for
the gam:? and had won. hands down.
They were entitled to a statement
of the game. We are therefore go
ing to tell the score anyway and let
her go at that. Wabash four and
I'nion two.

UNION BOYS
ARE THERE AND
OVER A MILE
FIRE CAUGHT FROM A BOILER OF
BOILING PAINT NEARLY
JEPORDIZES TOWN
HEROIC WORK MINIMIZES LOSS
Bucket Brigade, Perriene Extin
guishers, Salt and Flour, Are
Agents of Victory.
Early Monday afternoon while Joe
Banning and George Osborne were
giving the roof on Mr. Bannings
building a coat of roof paint and
which the directions said to boil and
it would spread better. The recep
tial in which the paint was being
heated, exploded and ignited a bar
rel in which the paint was stored.
The fire had been builded close to the
rear end of the upper story of th
business house of Mr. Banning and
in a moment the whole structure
seemed doomed. The boys of Union,
and they sure are a whole hearted
set, got busy with pails, passing, car
rying and running with the fire
quenching liquid, also using salt and
flour in their efforts to smother the
fire. We arrived just after the
hustling had ceased. We cannot
help but pdmire a crowd of boys and
men who will take hold of a matter
like this and but out a fire which
promised to have been a catastrophy
for the entire town. The loss is not
excessive but considerable. The
greatest inconvenience was the muss
which it caused in the upper por
tion of the building. Fortunate in
deed is Mr. Banning that his friends
were at his rescue in the instant.
Seeding Over 100 Acres.
The sons of A. L. Becker, John,
Ray and Roy. are putting in to win
ter wheat this year something over
one hundred acres and have pur
chased a new drill for use in doing

the little machine last Monday and
named it "Bessie".

RUSS "SET STAGE" TO
GIVE PROSPEROUS AIR
Moscow Made to Appear Busy to
Deceive the English
Visitors.
An attempt to make Moscow look a
busy and prosperous city during the
visit to that city of the English labor
delegates is told by the Lettish Infor
mation burean, whose press burean at
Riga has a special correspondent at
tached to the peace delegation In Mos
cow. "The various instittuions In soviet
Russia had for a long time been busy
in making preparations for the recep
tion of the English labor delegates in
order to show them Russia in attrac
tive colors," says the correspondent.
In Petrograd where, as a rule, al
most no people are seen in the streets,
all the officials were ordered to take
part in the reception. Theatrical rep
resentations and grandiose banquets
were organized with the participation
of actresses from the Uarlinski and
Alexandrovskl theaters. The dele
gates were taken to Moscow in a spe
cial train, acompanied by Tcherkess
soldiers in bright uniforms.
In Moscow, the day before the ar
rival of the English delegates, all the
papers published strict orders issued
by the military and civil commissa
ries setting out what everybody had
to do and how to behave. On May
17 the tramway service in the city was
suspended, all the cars being taken to
the neighborhood of the Nikolasovskl
station, where, gayly decorated, they
moved to and fro, trying to convey to
the visitors the idea of busy traffic.
In the station all the motor cars
from Moscow were mobilized, even the
highest commissaries having to walk.
On May IS a parade was organized,
but no private persons were allowed
to be present. This is the way the
bolshevists organized the tragt-comedy
of the communistic paradise in order
to deceive the English visitors as to
the real state of soviet Russia,

FRENCH FIND HUGE GRAFT
Buyers of Army Supplies Discover
Cases Full of Baby Clothing.
Astounding revelations of graft,
mounting Into millions of dollars, In
supplies shipped to the American
forces overseas during the war have
Just been made in taking an inventory
on goods bought by the French from
the United States.
A full mile of cases marked "bottles
of Ink" or "canned food' were found
to be camouflaged, only the top layer
of each containing cans of food or
bottles of ink. The rest of the cans
or bottles were empty.
More than 50,000 cases of baby un
derwear, baby socks and baby bonnets
were found, and the French are won
dering what the Americans intended
these for. Hundreds of thousands of
pairs of "woolen" underclothes were
found to be cotton of the poorest
quality, while a vast number of cases
designated a-i containing clothing were
either empty or filled with a Jumble
of material in the worst possible con
dition.
It is estimated that it will take
more than five years to sell the stocks
plied up at the Glevros depot alone.
Meanwhile, due to the Insufficiency
of staffs to handle the stocks, millions
of dollars' worth of supplies are rust'
ing and spoiling. ? ' .
