He had been here only about three weeks and the shortage ,of that amount was a stun ner. •On the evening of the 16th, he, in .'company with the section foreman, nut |18.50 in the safe, and on Tues day morning when the safe was un locked $2.00 of that amount had mysteriously disappeared. He let the matter rest over night, set a trap for the fellow, but nothing came of it, aand the company was notified of, the loss. On Monday of last week the com pany detective and auditor came down to make an investigation *and ascertain if possible where the leak age was. The auditor made a thor oug checking of the records and found the shortage amounted to $175.35. The detectivc was also busy, but no tangible clue so far as our information goes was found. On Wednesday noon, however, Ben 'Readman who has been acting as hostler and doing book work at night, failed to make h.s appear ance. On Wednesday night when he was supposed to appear for work, again failed to appear. The detec tive visited his residence but tailed to find him.

Editor Reporter-—I thought Why do merchants send ail their money away when they might return a great deal to the farmer? Why ar'o we compelled to pay $1.8p a bushel for shipped-in potatoes at stores when farmers must sell theirs for $1.25? Whymust we pay $20 or ?:.i» for an uu-to-date suit and then have the same suits put on sale in a few months for $8 or $10? It is easy to see we must either pay exhorbitant prices or be out or style so we send where we can get $1 values for $1. Why must all our onions, cabbage, apples, potatoes, small fruits and all such, rot while our merchants po litely tell us they can't use them? Why—because their stores are full of shipped-in goods. Maybe they do pay big taxes, but 1 for one would just as soon pay more taxes and less grocery or dry goods bills, and maybe if they handle all our surplus stuff-we wouldn't have to ask them for that much talked of credit". Who can tell? And the things they do use audi as eggs, cream, etc.,—why are we. compelled to accept one and two cents less per pound or dozen the year round than we can get ijn any town large or small anywhere near Leon. I'm sure some of them pay big rent, taxes and road bills. How can Van Wert, Osceola, Garden Grove and a dozen other towns near pay two cents more per pound for poultry as I kno\y they do the year round, then ship it to the Leon plant? Why Answer these questions 4ind a great many more the "knockers" of this section might ask and maybe you'll find why we send so much money away. Let's hear from others.. A Farmer.

He was tack led and downed back of the line by Gray. The referee declared a "safety,"Which meant two points for Leon.

In the fourth quarter, after an ex change of punts, Ilagan was called back and succeeded in punching the line for a big gain,. Gardner made il, forward pass to Gittinger, Hagan again punched the line, and then Garner made a second pass to Git tinger. The ball was now within one yard of the line. Hagan was called on again and in tWjO line punches carried the ball .over for a down.

That the horrors which Mr. Hubbard saw in militar ism were afterward^ visited upon himself when he ana his wife went to their death among those massa cred in the Lusitania, lends an un usually tragic note to Mr. Hubbard's article-..) If anyone asks you who lifted the lid off hell? let the truthful answer be William Hohenzollern "Bill Kaiser" has a withered hand and a running ear. Also, he has a shrunken soul, and a mind that reeks with egomania. He is a mastoid degenerate of a noble grandmother. In degree he has her power, but not her love. He has her persis tence, but not her prescience. He is swollen like a drowned pup, with a pride that stinks. He never wrote a letter nor a mes sage wherein he did not speak of God as if the Creator was waiting to see him in the lobby. "God is with us"—"God is destroying our ene mies"—"I am praying our Gdd to be with you"—"God is giving us vic tories"—VI am accountable only to my conscience and to God." This belief tnat the Maker of the universe takes a special interest in him marks the man as a megaloman iac, and the idea, that the nations were -'laying for him", is the true symptom of paranoia. Why do tne German people stand by the war lord? The answer is easy. It is a mat ter of the hypnotic spell of patriots ism and the lure of the crowd, com bined with coercion. We make a virtue of the thing we are compelled to do: The marvelous recuperative power of the 'Cantonic people is proved by the fact that the German race was not wiped out of existence long ago, like the Incas of the Aztecs. The will to live was strong and a new race was ours. Are we to ro back to that black Aight of blood medievalism? Surely not! Our hearts, are with Germany—the Germany of inven tion, science, music, education, skill '—but not^with the war lord. The empecor does not represent the true Germany.' He symbols the lust of power,ithe thirst for blood. The-"crazy kaiser will not win. The wisdom of the world backs the allies and Saint Helena waits. It must be so. Germany will not be subjugated, but she will be relieved of a suc cubus thathas threatened her very existence. The Osgood Lens Lights the Road —not the sky.
