To paraphrase weknown query in which two
Southern governors figured it is in order to ask:
What did the brewer say to the retaler? and what

and Wisconsin, issue of July 20, 1913.
1t is good hot weather reading.

Liquor Dealers Association speaks for the retailer and
Mr.. Austin attorney for the Brewers Association
speaks very specifically for the brewer:

TURKISH SYMBOL
IS The OLD MOON
Crescent of Ottoman Empire
Is Really A Decrescent
What 1t Means.

London, Jan. II. The lunar
symbol of the Ottoman empire,
universally known as the Cres-
cent, is, strictly speaking. a de-
crescent, representing, as it does,
not the new moon, but the old
moon. AS national symbol it
was in use in Constantinople by
the Byzantines 18 centuries be-
fore the Turks appropriated it
and emblazoned it on their BAN
ners when they captured the city
on the Bosphorus; and its origin
is said to date from B. c. $40,
when a night attack on ancient
Byzantium by the Macedonians
was foiled by the light of the old
and waning moon.
The horns of the crescent and
decrescent point in opposite di-
rections, as do those of the old
and new moons; and while the
crescent moves progressively to
the splendor of full moon, the
decrescent slowly wanes to in
visibility in the overpowering
light of the sun. The Turkish
decrescent has been long time
waning in Europe, but it is the
inevitable destiny of all decres-
cent moons to disappear.

Continued from last week.

Our readers who have followed Zebu-
lum's story, as given in this depart
ment last week, know that we left
that young gentleman, with his NAL
riage license in his pocket, fleeing the
town cf Marion in all po-sible speed,
heading toward Fords Ferry. They
know, too, that he was being hotly
pursued by the sheriff and his swift
going assistants, they having ample
proof that he was the scoundrel who
struck Bobby Broadway and, as High
field Jones expressed it. put his light

the others to annihilate the space be-
tween me and them, but because he
had the longest legs. The sheriff's

grinned at, besides he had the best

sheriff was in the lead, with the town

"At that time there was no bridge
across Crooked creek where the road

tBy Associated Press.I

Washington, Feb. 17.--After con-
ference of an hour and half with
Secretary of State Knox last night,
President Taft called special meet
ing of the Cabinet to discuss the late
dispatches from Mexico. The report
from Mexico City that the armistice
had been declared of and that hostil-
tiles had been resumed caused intense
interest among the Cabinet officers.
Secretary Knox laid before the Pres
ident long resume OF reports from
Mexico City, from Ambassador Will
son, picturing in detail the revolt Of
Diaz and the efforts of Madero to sup
press it. The proposed reply Of this
Government to Madero's request to
keep hands of and allow him to set
tie with Diaz himself also was con-
sidered.
Despite the alarming information
that has continued to come into Wash
ington for the last few days, not a
member of the Presidents Cabinet fa-
yored Intervention when summoned to
last nights meeting. Most of the Off
cial family believe that the Mexican
factions will solve their own troubles
and are of the opinion that interfer-
ence by the United States is uncalled
for at this time.
