I t is almost a foregone conclusion while we do not know yet what, the Disarmament Congress will do, but the people are going to demand that this country take some lead on this question. We do not think it wise to demand disarmament to the point where our forces will he in such a weakened condition that -any foreign country could attack our commerce or come to our sliores. This country will meed ■an army and navy, the former for i n ­ terior trouble, the latter to protect our coast. The question that confronts most people is that the government is be­ ing rushed headlong into such plans as are formulated by army and navy leaders who look on the implements of war with pride. The people want some retrenchment, for a time at least, that this recent war debt may be lifted and the burden of taxes re­ duced. !•imiii1'»■ n 1.1 > ■ iM 1 * ~ intfii ~ SAYS ADVERTISING SURELY PAYS.

Under a recent decision a brother of the late John Bryan, Yellow Springs has lost his case in breaking the will of the millionaire farmer-poet. This means that the state will get the farm if it .wants it under the terms of the will; otherwise the county will get it As the gift is conditional about hold­ ing religious exercises on the land a t any time, the state may not accept. The county cannot afford to take over the poperty as a game preserve owing to the cost, of upkeep. Again sentiment in the county is against an acceptance owing to the religious clause of the will. This sentiment is well grounded among all classes, de­ nominations, colors and creeds.

If William Fox isn’t careful he is likely to-find his private office piled high and all mussed up with narrative poems. Mr, Fox is the producer of “Over the Hill”, a pictureization of Will Carlcton’s “Farm Ballads” which opens an engagement at the Majestic Theatre, Springfield, Sunday, Nov. 13th. and says he is in the field for new poems of this species. Mr. Fox sets forth in the field for new poems sets forth hio belief that the maker of narrative verse has a big field in the motion picture, and regrets that this poem of poesy is not being writ­ ten today as frequently as it should be. He says writers of tale-telling poetry will do well to bring their ! wares to him without waiting -some, in vain -at doors for publication. If Mr. Fox is right in his belief, theroj may be awakened a new interest in the narrative poem \Dileh is must be admitted has not been seen or board ! as often as in days of yore.
