A Foolish Proposition

Those well intentioned but mis-
guided souls who would have Con-
gress pass law which would prohib-
it the export from this country OF
grain, food stuffs, clothing, arms, am
munition or anything that would aid
the nations now at war, ought to
bend their energies toward persuadins
the nations OF Europe which are at
war from making paupers whom it
becomes the duty as well as the priv
ilege of this country to support.

Winter Clothing
lWheeling NeWSl

With the coming of severe winter
weather, the clothing question be-
comes one OF considerable import
ance, not so much as to cost OF or
namental appearance as to comfort
and health. In fact, health is by far
a greater consideration than comfort
at this season of the year. Quite
radical change has taken place in
medical and popular opinion in regard
TO winter wear in the last few years,
especially as regards footwear and
undergarments.

Undoubtedly Judge David j. Leahy,
the legal custodian of the grant, and
the board of trustees, which has ad-

will give the plan serious and careful
consideration. They have guarded the
interests of the grant with fidelity in

their action in this new phase of the

At that point he joined party of
American consulate officials, reaching
Mexico City on August IS. Pinon says
that he found conditions normal in
the city, although the amount of small
change was limited. The merchants
were refusing to sell small articles un-
til the change was SHOWN. There was
no change for five peso bills, until
card board tickets representing to be

STRUGGLE

Plattsburg, N. Y, Sept 7.-Samuel

Federation of Labor, in an address
in connection with Labor day cere-
monies, pointed out the opportunities
of American commerce and American
workers to be derived from the cha

Referring to the celebration of Labor
day this year, in the week set apart
for the celebration of the anniversary
of hundred years of peace between
the United States ana Great Britain,
Mr.. Gompers said:
by some strange chance of for.
tune, when the time for this celebra-
tion was near, when mems thoughts
were Of peace and the ways of peace,
the countries of the western civfliza-
ton are suddely plunged into titanic
struggle, a stupendous death grapple
of existence, with weapons so deadly
that human lives are being spent with
extravaganza.

befallen the peoples of Europe the

America for sustaining aid. Our fer
