PEACH GROWERS BUSY IN ADAMS Farm Afent Says Hey Will Not Be Able to Witness Ceremony at State College Gettysburg, Aug. 23. Activities in connection with the annual harvest of Adams county's peach and apple crops will prevent local farmers from attending the ceremonies Fri day in connection' with the break ing of ground for the new hospital to be erected at State College with funds entirely secured from voluntary subscriptions of potato growers in Pennsylvania, according to County Agent S. B. Shenk.

The potato growers of this county already have met their $1,000 quota. That county swine breeders' associations intend making the name of Adams known in this industry is shown by the addition of valuable sires to two herds. The South Mountain Poland China Breeders' Association has just received a "Artillery," from a breeder at Burn, Ind. The animal weighs about 900 pounds. "Peter Fashion's Ace" is the name of the sire recently purchased by the Two Taverns' Breeders' Association from a Hagerstown dealer.

This animal will be on a show circuit until October. Gettysburg's playground will close for the summer on Friday afternoon, according to the announcement of Professor G. W. Lefever, who has been in charge. There will be games and contests for the children and ribbons will be awarded winners of the various athletic events.

According to Mr. Lefever, more children have frequented the playground this season than any other year since its founding in 1914.

HEINZ OVEN BAKED BEANS with Tomato Sauce WEDNESDAY EVENING. URGES FRENCH DEBT CANCELED William S.

Evans, Philadelphia Banker, Kiwanis Officer, Addresses Local I Gob Immediate cancellation, of France's war obligation to the United States was urged at noon to day by William S. Evans, Philadelphia banker and lieutenant governor of Kiwanis District No. 4, in an address before local Kiwanians at the weekly luncheon session of the club at the Penn Harris Hotel. "Business conditions in France," declared Mr. Evans, "are so poor that if the United States should demand payment of the debt, or even the interest thereof, it would react on the prosperity of this country.

This was brought home to me during a recent visit to the European country when in company with numerous others bankers, were acquainted with the inactivity of its inhabitants. "At least for another century must we abandon all thoughts of securing any return for the war time loan. Industry at the present is at a standstill, but eventually France will register a revival of commercial activity. Then will the nation feel at liberty to reduce its great obligation to this country." Intimation was made by the speaker that if Congress demanded immediate compensation on the debt, France could only reduce it by sending sortie of her products to this country. And the importing of such commodities, in his estimation.

"react, positively, on the future pros perity of this nation." To day's session was arranged by Roy Stettler and Frank Wallis. Charles W. Ei'senhauer was awarded the attendance prize. IRISH LEADER ISSH0T DOWN Continued From FU.t Page. tribute to Collins as the successor to Arthur as directing head of the fight for the Free State which assumes unexpected timeliness in view of his assassination.

"In the public eye," it says, Michael Collins is a man of energy and obvious ability, whose dash and personal disregard for danger have endeared him to young Ireland.

Bandon, county Cork, where Michael Collins, Irish leader, was assassinated last night is just 12 miles from Clonakilty, where he was born, said his brother, Patrick Collins, Chicago police sergeant, when informed of Michael's death. "Many is the time Mjke and I have walked to Bandon as boys," the sergeant said.

"Never would I believe anybody in that town would kill my brother." That his brother had been expecting to be killed was revealed Sergeant Collins said, in a letter the Irish leader wrote him a fortnight ago. 'But he wrote me that if I did get the news that he had been killed to know that he had died like a Collins and fighting for Ireland," added the Chicago man. "If it were a real Irishman that killed Mike I would say the Irish race stands discredited. But I kn5w it was not. It was some blackguard.
