caucus of the Senate struggled all Day
with the war revenue tax bill and by MD
night 1t had gone far enough to demon
strate that the bill as II goes to the
Senate will hardly be recognized ny ts
trainers In the House.
Important changes were made ana inc
question arises now whether these Will
not tend to stir up new controversies ana
prolong the session of Congress.
For one thing the Democrats OF the
Senate laid heavier burden on the
demon rum They voted to increase the
tax on beer from 81 to $l.75 barrel
This is an Increase Of 70 cents a barrel
over the tax provided by the House, when
boosed the internal revenue levy on beer
from 81 to $3.50.
Some members Of the majority party IN
the senate wanted to levy " tax on
this beverage. but that proposal was
voted down after Senator stone OF Mis-

speech opposing the Increase from VI 10

new BOOKS
Have Just Been Added To
The Public Library

1t will be of interest to the many
people who come and go to the public
library to learn of the recent acquisi-
ton of books. This is the busiest time
of the year In library work for the at
fractions out of doors are fewer SO
that people naturally turn to the
books for entertainment as we'll as
instruction.
To supply the increasing demand
for new and late fiction is one of the
problems of the. local library which
must be solved. Everyone likes to
be up to date in his reading material
as well as in other things and the
library should be able to meet this
demand. That it has been able to do
this in even a slight degree is owing
to the gifts received.
Most people buy a novel, read 1t and
put it away where it's only use is in
accommodating dust. Think how many
citizens of Mt. Vernon could enjoy
tnat same Dook IL 1t were placed on
the library shelves. Look over the
books which you have read and tele-
phone the library to send for those
which are not in use.

On Tuesday And Lecture BY Mrs.

(ey Press Reporter)


Mrs. Florence ID. Richards, one of
Ohio's greatest orators and lecturers,
gave one of her mastery and convinc-
ing lectures to the Mt. Vernon w. G.
Il. U. and their friends in the Congre.
gational church Tuesday evening. The
convincing theme was Equality. She
brought many facts we could not think
of to light. The two heads in counsel
over the child, was good thought.
Woman's right of counsel should be
recognized more. State wide, national
wide, world wide prohibition will be
the war cry until it conquers. She be-
lieves she will live to see the day. o
let every man be loyal to his country
and If he cannot vote the country dry,
then let the women try. Man usually
comes to woman anyway when in trou-
BILE. She was such source of inspira-
tion to all who heard her, and made us
feel we were not half trying to do our
part. Let us be up and doing and un-
der her indomitable courage to help,
we may be able to do more good yet
for our cause. Mrs. Richards was
more than pleased to meet some dear
friends here, Mrs. w. F. Cary and fam
lily being friends of her people. Mrs.
Richards stopped while here with Mrs.
Potter Sockman, former pupil and
friend of the family. ifay God bless
her in her chosen work.

An Enjoyable
Entertainment

~ IN~'S
Entertainment
The local high school has been the
scene of many enjoyable entertain
ments in the past few years, but the
Valentine party given Saturday night
to the members of the faculty by Mr..
Busby and the fifth period chemistry
class surpassed them all in originality.
The guests were met at the head of
the stairs by a reception committee
who provided them with money" and
then transported them by a shoot
the chutes" arrangement to the chem
istry laboratory below. The laboratory
lad been transformed into ccmbin-
alton of fairy land and three ringed
circus. The guests spent their money
freely in the various booths, ranging
from the fortune telling tent where
Jay McDevitt read palms to the ring
throwing contest presided over by
Dorothy Blair. One of the most pop
ular diversions was the table football
in charge of Russell Ewalt and Lyle
Kinsey. Shooting at red paper hearts
with bow and arrows under the able
direction of Ralph Yauger and Eleanor
Snow seemed to be attractive to the
ladies while the men patronized the
shooting gallery.
At 1O:30-the guests were ushered
into the physics laboratory where
small tables were spread with tooth
some refreshments amid rose colored
light and elaborate heart decorations.
1t was the unanimous verdict of the
guests that the promise on the in
vitations"Five dollars worth of fun
for nothing" had been fulfilled to the
letter.
