MORGANTOWN, W. V*., Jan.
2.—When a horse used in plow

broke through into an old well
considerable trouble was exper

and when it was finally pulled

A two-horse team was used
in plowing and without warn
ing one animal broke through
into an old well which had been
abandoned many years ago.
The animal dropped about ten
feet. Its struggles during its
imprisonment are thought to
have resulted in the bursting of
a blood vessel which caused the
death of the horse before it
could be extricated.

Chicago Church Federation
Report Holds Dailies Help
Advertise.
By Universal Service.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Suggestions
Os church publicity in news articles
and in paid advertising in the
newspapers are given in the find
ings of the committee representing
the Chicago Church Federation as
the result of the national pub
licity conference. The report says:
The most effective way to reach
the crowd and interest them in the
church is through the daily news
papers in cities of 650,000 and over.
"The newspaper welcomes news
but is shy on propaganda.
“The newspaper is more inter
ested in what you do than in what
you say, especially if you do some
thing to help another person or
the community as a whole.
"It pays to serve the newspaper
even at one’s inconvenience. One
minister skid he postponed a
funeral and a wedding to furnish
an interview requested by his dally
paper.
“Get on good terms with the
newspaper by Occasionally furnish
ing news which does not especially
concern you or your ’ particular
church.
“Advertising must be consecutive,
persistent, prepared for, distinctive.
If * minister does not know how
to advertise, let him learn how or
let him get the help of an adver
tising man.
“Don’t expect the newspaper to
take the trouble which belongs to
you.”

BERLIN, Jan. I.—A twenty-sev
en-year-old negro. William Munume,
from Duala, irho recently appeared
before the judge at Wiesbaden,
proved to be a man of many tal
ents. He had made a fairly decent
I living as a waiter, a proprietor of a
prosperous ladies’ fashions store in
Wiesbaden and a»—a fire-eater in
wandering circus shows.
But all these rather proeaie pur
suits did not quite satisfy the crav
ings of his romantic heart. He
went to Hungary, where he ap
pointed himself consul of the black
republic of Liberia, accredited to
the Budapest government of Count
Andressy and Baron Teleki.
Profiting by the lure which foreign
money exercises at present on the
central European mind living in
the flimsy realms of depreciated
paper, “Consul” Munume set him
self deftly to forge checks on Li
berian banks which he circulated
among the gullible public in pay*
ment of his "official” and private
expenses. _ ~
Several large German banking
houses in Hamburg, Dresden and
Stuttgart suffered losses of sev
