" (By Parker R. Andcraon)
Washington, Nov. 1. ? The treas
ury department today made public
the names of nearly 2,000 persona
stranded in Europe at the outbreak]
of tlic war during the summer of
1914 who borrowed money from'
I'ncle Sam to get home and who!
have failod^or refused to repay the
loan.
According to government officials
Investigators have reported that ev
ery person listed is financially able
to return the money advanced to re
lieve recipients to come back to the
United StateB. Those found unable
to repay will not he dunned. Those
possessing sufficient means to reim
burse the government for the money
loanpd them will, however, be press
ed to return it. Just how the col
lectior* are to be made Ib not re
vealed In the statement issued to
day, but it is intimated that he de
parment is now preparing to file a
large number of suits.
Before court action is resorted to
however, an effort will be made to

to the treasury. It Is annonnced
that In addition to the names made
public today other lists will be giv

were borrowed. The largest un
paid claim listed today is charged
against L. S. Be^a, of New York
city, who obtained $1,370 in one
loan acd $1,300 in another.

If Sm??CT Market* In Thl, Seelkin

M*rkett? Could I'ay WUiilever they !
Thought Ik it.
That the Washington tobacco
market pays us good prices fj?r to
bacco as any other market in thi* |
section, was the sentiment voicett
Saturday afternoon by T. E. Smaw
a pronln' nt farmer who resides a
few milrs from the city.
"I b.i?e found out to my ?ntisfa ?
tion," stated Mr. Smaw, "that I ca"
get as Tood prices for my tobacco
here in Washington as anywhere. I
liave been raiding tobacco for a goo:;
many years and befor.; the Wash
ington market .started 1 used to takf
It elsewhere. When we started our
market hero. I know thaf it would
b~ of great benefit lo our county
farmers and I commenced bringing
It herr. At first, however. I sp It
my loads, taking part to pome oth>r
market. I found out that it paid
me to take my tobacco to Washing
ton and I have found that to be tr.ie
ever since.
"Competition la the life of a. I
trade and the Washington market is
a big facLor In keeping up prices .n
tobacco. For example, suppose we
were to go out of business her.'.
Suppose all the other of the small ?r
markets closed their doors. The big
markets in the Stale would have us
at their m<*rcy and they could pay
whatever prices they felt like pay
ing and we would have nothing to
say."

One of the strongest advocates ot f

Is W. H. Stanclll. a prominent aiidj
well-known farmer of the township I
Mr. Sianrlll was In this olllce Sa*
urday aft. moon and expressed him .
self as being grratly pleased with
the proposed improvement of the
highways.
"The roadi are a big factor in tlu-i
deve'opment of any community,"
stat d Mr. Stanrill. "The trouble
witU us In the pas*, has been that wo
tried to accomplish something wit:;
no money and without any knowl
edge of how to do it. If we get a
good engineer, a man who under
star.da his business, to tak chark>>
of the work. 1 believe that we will
get good results, I am heartily hi
favor of the bond issue plan."
