Genoa, April 17 (By the Associated Press).?George Chicherin, head of the Russian delegation, discussing tonifht the Russo-German treaty, said negotiations for a full resumption of diplomatic relations between Germany and Russia had been in progress several months. '"the place and the time of the signatures," M. Chicerin added, "must not be interpreted as indicating that the two governments intended special significance in concluding the treaty at the Genoa conference rather than elsewhere. The treaty was contemplated long ago. ?T?v vu;? j t> aii iiuo w a v vici niai:%v anu ivuc5:m<3 | have wiped out the past and replaced the Bfest-iLitovsk treaty jy new relations, granting 'both peoples the same rights and establishingg a secure basis for peaceful, common work, the two governments thus place themselves on a firm basis.'' The German foreign minister, Dr. Rathenau, calmly discussed the Russo-German treaty, which has created such excitement among t^e allies, 1. J TT? T-l Liv;uiai ly me r xencii anu n.ng'iisn delegations. He explained that the negotiations between Ruisia and Germany for the conclusion of the present treaty were conducted for several months and happened to be finished Easter Sunday, which we considered a good omen not only for the contracting parties, but the entire Europe; indeed, the world at large. The French delegation in an official statement denounnced the treaty bitterly and declared that France would not change her attitude and would exact from the Soviet government recognition of debts and restitution of confiscated property. The spokesman of the Italian delegation discussing the Russo-Geiman treaty tonight, said he was convinced that it would not bring about a happy result in the conference but he considered it deplorable from the Gerand commerce, early in February and ened the thesis of those who main-j tain that it is impossible to treat with the Germans. Nothing better could be invented to support the Frencn viewpoint, in his opinion, he said.

Death of Mrs. Mary Shealy Mrs. Mary Jane Shealy, beloved wife of Earle Shealy, was stricken with apoplexy on Saturday, April 8th. She was formrely in good health and her suddei: illness was a severe shock to her family and many friends. Every effort of medical skill and kindly attention was made in her behalf. She lived only until Thursday morning, April 13. Her age was 66 years, 10 months and 23 days. She is survived by five children, Mrs. Oscar Wood, Mrs. Frank Cul r> L" 1 iX>U I t", Jlld. u UU.

Mrs. Shealy was a member of the Summer Memorial Lutheran church, to which she remained faithful until death. She set an example of Christian and nipfv. She was a kind 'mother, rot only to her own but to many others who enjoyed the benevolence of her heart; even the servants o:a the farm mourn the loss of \ their dearest friend. The hospitality of her home was always the same, kind and true: She was a devoted wife, a true friend, an obliging neighbor. Her memroy is made fragrant bv the wholesome influence and beauty of a God-fearing and loving he^irt. Its kind is precious and enduring.

HAD THE LAUGH ON TEACHER Instructress Called for Examples, and Tommy Was* the Boy Who Could Furnish Them. There has never been any love lost between Tommy and his teacher. Tommy thinks the teacher is a severe and occasionally unjust person, who has never known what it is to' be you*?jr while the teacher considers the little chap both stupid and mischievous. I "You are not attending to what I j say, Thomas," said the teacher one day in rhf midst of ail address to her class. "Yes, teacher, I is," said Tommy with much earnestness. "You should never say 'I is'" corrected the teacher. "I have told you thnt a hundred times. You know the correct form. There are no exceptions to its use. Give me two examples at once!" "Yes, ma'am." said Tommy, meekly. "I am one of the letters of the alphabet. i' am a pronoun."?Philadelphia Ledger. I| I ) Keep the Baby Quiet at Night. Getting up in the night to quiet an uneasy baby is not the joke that some comic writers represent it to be. A i young husband discovered this izi case hie tivct.hnrn and the means he fj took ro overcome the difficulty won him a prize in a contest in new uses j for electricity. The only means of quieting this j baby, who was ailing, was to move j him up and down; gently. In the low- < er part of the crib the father fastened the motor of a discarded electric fan. From a small pulley on the motor Me J ran a belt to a larger pulley on a j short shaft, at the other end of which he rigged a crank. Then he extended a connecting rod to the center of the frame that supported the springs and mattress. The motor, when started, mo> ed springs, mattress and baby up and ' down about an men, smooiiu.v, gamj and regularly. It proved entirely satisfactory to the baby, who is now one year old. healthy and happy, and he has never got his parents out of bed at night since the apparatus was Installed. Remarkable Old Beliefs. Since the age of legend, thunder and lightning making has always been made the final proof of the su permit- ; u:;al. Thor and his huge hammer, which accounted for the thunder to ^ tbe old Norsemen, and Jove or Jupiter, who hurled lus ngnrninj; uuu murder in anger and thus explained this natural phenomenon to the old Greeks 1 and Ilomans, are only two of the hundreds of instances in ancient be- * liVf. In later times the brand of magician and evil-doer was put upon many alchemists, with rumors thai spirting tongues of hre and crashes of thunder were seen and heard in their laboratories. ?
