SEWING MACHINES :!
PRICE $40 AND UPWARDS
EVERY MACHINE FULLY WARRANTED

TT is now decided by the best Machinists and
Il the public generally, that these Machines en-
brace the latest and most important improve
ments even attached TO Sewing Machines, name
ly: The new Improved and neUer. failing Looper

State are the only Machines that have these i'm
portant improvements, which now gives them
the preference over all others. Every one sho'd
examine and thoroughly test them, before MAX
ing their selection, as they are rapidly taking
the place of all others.
In these machines we do away with all the
complicated screws, wires, shuttles, crooked and
circular needles, of other machines, which rem
der them at once greatly superior to any hereto
fore offered the public, for the many different
kinds of family and manufacturing purposes
These Machines make the double-lock, fast
stitch-a stitch that will not rip or ravel though
every fourth one be cut. This stitch is stronger
and more elastic than that made by hand. 1t is
decided by competent judges to DO more than
twice as strong ms the stitch made with shuttles
and bobbns.
The room under the arm renders them desi--
able for large work, and various kinds of quilt
ing purposes,
These Machines make the only stitch with
which you can embroider.
On these Machines you can use any kind of
spool silk, cotton or linen thread. These Mach
ines are almost noiseless in operation.
Be sure to see them before purchasing, as they
are giving satisfaction heretofore unparalleled,
They sew from two spools without rewinding.-
They will gather, hem, tuck, fell and quilt, on
heavy or light fabrics.

Important Opinion of the Attorney
General,

WASHINGTON, April A.
Attorney General Bates has given his opinion
that the acts Of January and August, 1913,
granting pensions for wounds or disabilities are
applicable only TO the forces thereby created,
and will not cover the cases of those called
into service by the act Of the 22d of July last,
nor are widows and orphans entitled to pensions
under the act of the 4th of July, 1896.
Grave doubts may be suggested whether the
existing laws make provision for pensions to the
widows of those now in service who may die
from disease, or be killed in battle; and upon
the whole question the Attorney General in.
clines to the opinion that there is no adequate
provision of law by which such widows are en-.
titled to pensions in addition to the bounty con-
ferred by the act Of July last.
The militia received under the President's
proclamation of the 18th of April, 1861,
which was in accordance with the Law of the
81 of August, 1918, are, in cases of wounds
and disability entitled to pensions under its
provisions.

The Times throws cold water on it. The Daily

regard 1t as dishonoring to compromise The
Morning Post treats it as puerle and vain
scheme, and the last resource of Government
which feels it is engaged in struggle which,
if continued, must involve in ruin. The Lon
