LEOPOLD Osteopathic Physician Eyes Tested and Glasses Fitted Onion Block Phone 208 PLATTSMOUTH 4 BIG AND RARE FJSH AT THE STATE FAIR Ninety Pound Cat, Forty-Five Ponnd Silver Cat and Largest Rain bow Trout Known. A ninety pound catfish, a forty-five pound silver catfish and the largest rainbow trout in captivity are to be shown at the state fair by the state fish and game bureau.:; Deputy Sec retary Grant L. Shumway, of the de partment of agriculture, in making this announcement, said he did not know the personal history of the big catfish, but if it is of the same family as one exhibited many years ago at the fair, it is likely to smash the plate glass in its acquarium and tear its way through the crowded grounds for a considerable distance before it is captured and slaughtered with an ax. ' Mr. Shumway has Information which leads him to believe the silver catfish will be the first ever shown at the state fair. It is not an al bino but a distinct species of cat fish. It was caught in the Platte river on a trot line, which is a sort of line under the ban of the law if it contains more than five hooks. Mr. Shumway modestly declines to say how much the big rainbow trout weighs. He goes so far as to say it is two feet long. It is rumored that it will weigh from three to eight pounds. It is one of many obtained from a private breeding pond in Colo rado. In addition to these headliners the usual beautiful and elaborate display of fish will be made by the state hatcheries at the state fair. A sep arate building will house the show. Although the building is small it is so arranged that people can walk around it and view the display which will be shown in aquariums in the walls. WOULD CURTAIL AIR ARMAMENT American Legion Urges President to Call a Conference Similar to Recent Naval Meet. Indianapolis, Aug. 24. American Legion national headquarters today made public a number of letters re ceived from United States senators, congressman, governors, college pres idents and editors in regard to the Legion's proposal to ask President Coolidge to call an international con ference to halt the race in military air armament in which the Legion charges is in progress among France, England, Italy, Russia and other na tions. Among the senators who ap proved the proposal Is Henry Cabot Lodge, Massachusetts. The president, it was said today at the white house, has not had an op portunity to consider in detail the suggestion for such a conference re cently advanced by the American Legion. Even the most preliminary consideration, however, the president was reported as feeling brings up at once practical difficulties of an im portant nature. The president is said to believe that it would be rather doubtful whether European nations, in view of the unsettled situation abroad, would join in such a conference at the present time. Mr. Coolidge also is understood to be of the opinion that conditions in Europe, which prevented an agree ment on aircraft limitations at the Washington conference still prevail to such an extent that Euroepan powers could not be expected to have changed their attitude toward such a suggestion. The American government In view of the president is doing all it can by refraining from competitive build ing of aircraft for war purposes and until the situation in Europe changes cannot do more than express its views through its own action. However, the president, it was said would be greatly pleased to take any steps in line with the American Le gion's suggestion whenever the time appeared propitious. WOMAN MAY BE PRESIDENT Omaha, Aug. 24. Association pol itics was the principal topic among delegates at the Nebraska Press as sociation convention here today.

Congressman Edgar Howard, edi tor of the Columbus Telegram, re cently reported seriously ill, seemed to be gretting as much enjoyment out of the outing as any of the delegates "The only time that I expect to miss one of these outings Is when I am dead and gone and then I'll be with you in spirit,' he said. Old time editors, all of whom have been in the harness in Nebraska for forty or more years met and organ ized an "Old Timers" club. In the absence of M. A.

A Good Time is Assured! ASKS FOR FIVE AND GETS FIVE THOUSAND Funny Incident in Star's First Big Comedy, "Mr. Billings Spends His Dime" Parmele. How would you like to ask five dollars for information you had and have the buyers misunderstand and give you five thousand dollars? That exceptional situation arises in "Mr. Billings Spends His Dime," a Paramount Walter Hiers first star picture, which comes to the Parmele Friday and Saturday. Walter spends his last ten cent piece for a cigar. Inside the band of that cigar Is a secret message from an insurrecto gang in Santo Dinero, a South American republic, to secret agents of the revolutionists in this country. When the agents attempt to get the information from Hiers as to what was in the band, he agrees to sell it. "How much?" demands the secret agent quickly. Astounded by the sudden request, Hiers is unable to talk. Instead, he merely holds up his two hands and signifies "ten," but he means "ten dollars." "Too much," cries the other and indicates that he will compromise on five, to which Walter agrees. Then the stranger pays Hiers five thousand dollars and he nearly falls through the floor. What he does with the five thous and makes a story as full of laughs and thrills and romance as can be imagined. Jacqueline Logan is featured as leading woman and heads an excep tionally capable supporting cast. The production is massive and beautiful and there are many laughs as well as thrills In the development of the story. GERMAN URGES YANKEE FINANCIAL DICTATORSHIP Says Neutral Foreign Controller is the Only Way Out of Present National Dilemma. Berlin. Aug. 24. "A financial dic tator preferably made, in the Unit ed States now is Germany's only hope fo rextricating herself from fi nancial and economic chaos," is the suggestion advanced by Dr. George Gothein, democratic reichstag leader. "A financial dictatorship, wielded by a neutral foreigner who would not be obliged to take German sensibil ities Into consideration," he declares, "suggests the only way out of the national dilemma." He disposes of the idea of install ing a German dictator because, he says, such an official would never succeed in Inducing the reichstag to put his measures into effect. He also predicts that a neutral financial control, or dictatorship, would en able France to "disentangle herself from her hopelessly involved posi tion In the Ruhr without loss of prestige." - "Why not put up with such for eign control, which, at worst, would last only a few years?" Gothein asks. He suggests that Germany make a petition to that effect, which "is no more than a logical step by an hon orable debtor who innocently has come ot financial grief."

ANNOUNCEMENT OF ACTION TO AWAIT SOME EXCHANGES U. S. Government Will Not Resume Diplomatic Relations With Mexico Until September. Washington, Aug. 24. The Unit ed Sttaes government, it was declared today at the White H use, would not be prepared to formally announce the resumption of diplomatic relators with Mexica until the middle or lat ter part of September on account of the necessity of making certain ex changes. ' Certain exchanges yet to be made between the Mexican and Washing ton governments, it was said, cannot be concluded to permit an actual resumption of relations for several weeks, at least. In some quarters the belief prevailed that the "ex changes" referred to by the White house spokesmen were those con nected with the claims conventions agreed to between the representa tives of the two governments during th recent conferences in Mexico City. The conventions are regarded as a vital part of the agreement re ported by John Barton Payne and Charles B. Warren, the American commissioners to the Mexico City conferences, which the Mexican gov ernment is reported to have approv ed and which, it has been authoria tively stated, is satisfactory to the Washington government. It still remains, however, for the state department to draft the con ventions out of the report submitted by Mr. Payne and Mr. Warren, and to submit them to the Mexican gov ernment for approval and signature. Until this Is done and the documents are,, in. form for submission to the senate'for ratification it is -understood the Washington government will not officially announce its recog nition of Mexico. SYMPATHY GOAL STRIKE IS DECLAR ED IMPROBABLE President Farrington Says Soft Coal Miners Have No Thought of Suspending Operations. Chicago, Aug. 24. Any apprehen sion that a sympathetic strike in the soft coal fields in Illinois would fol low an anthracite strike was allay ed today following the announce ment of Frank Farrington. president of the mine unions in the Illinois dis trict, that there was no thought of a suspension in the bituminous fields. Coal operators who met with mine union officials here yesterday, said there was a plentiful supply of bi tuminous coal above ground to sup ply any emergency demand in the middle west. Soft coal operators and mine union officials at their conference here de clared no plans were made for in creased production in bituminous fields in the event of an anthracite suspension, and President Farring ton intimated that rumors that soft coal would take the place of hard coal if anthracite mines shut down might cause discontent among soft coal union miners.

The Wash ington government will stand square ly behind Governor General Leonard Wood in his administration of affairs in the Philippine islands.

It is not to be assumed, it was added that any controversy would arise to invoke Washington action of a sort that would be injurious to the Filipinos or be found lacking in fair ness to them.
