LETTER TO EDITOR
DOWN THE FOOD HOGS

Editor Day Book:-It seems to me
to solve the high cost of living and
to protect ourselves from being ex-
plotted by Hog ]. Ogden Armour and
his kind would be the simplest thing
in the world. Instead of spending
lot of money and wasting lot of
time in investigating, let Uncle Sam
start municipal market in Chicago
and have the farmers ship direct to
him and sell to the consumers at
price that would enable him just to
make expenses. 1 think that would
bring All Hog Armour and his kind
to their knees in a hurry.-C. J.

"PIcK UP" AUTO PARTIES
According to numerous reports re-
ceived at police stations there are a
large number of wealthy young men
in this city who own autos and who
use them to pick up young girls with
the promise of taking them for an
automobile ride and a good time.
Late last night girl, dusty and
tired from long walk, staggered into
the Evanston police station and told
how she had escaped being attacked
by a young man, member of one OF
these auto parties, who, after finding
that she would not submit to his de-
sires, told her to get out of the auto
and walk home. This occurred in
the ''big woods" which are located
two miles north of Evanston.
The girl gave her name as RATHER
inc Warner. Last night, she said,
she was walking with girl friend
near her house when two young men
drove up in machine and asked
them to go for ride. AS her friend
seemed to know them she accepted
and was taken out in the woods.
There her girl friend went for walk
with one of the young men and the
other attempted to attack her in the
arto.
The Evanston police have a de-
scription of the car.

Down here in old Virginia,
over fifty years ago,
our fathers rallied forth TO fight
A great and mighty foe:
For four long years they nobly fought
And freely dld their LIES blood flow
Their cause lost and they paid the cost.
But our Father wiled IT so.
Now here in old Virginia
We called upon to 60
And fight eAtnst King Alcohol.
4 much more dangerous foe.
God Of Battles help us to rally with a shout
Wen work and pray on election dal
To vote this demon
Down here in old Virginia
Is the garden spot You know.
The mother state OF presidents,
Where great and good grow.
No hlizzsrIs, floods or cyclones,
And seldom any snow;
When the saloon goes out
we viii ever more shout:
Iralse God from whom all blessings aaw.

ITALY AROUSED BY
TURKISH FANATICS
Time to Act, Says Ex-
Mayor Nathan-Raises
S9,2OO,000 War Fund.

Rome, Nov. 22-The Italian govern
ment has assigned S9,200,OOO for
extraordinary military expenses in
Cyrenaica, where, despite Turco-Ger-
man promises that the pan-Islamic
movement will not affect Libya, the
Italians doubt whether Turkey, even If
She would. could check the religious
fanaticism which she has unclaimed.
Besides. it is pointed out, were the
British expelled by the Turco-Germans
from Egypt and the French from Tu-
risia, the Italians isolated IN Libya
could not survive.
Signor Nathan. ex-Mayor of Rome,
delivered an important address to-day
in the Constanzi Theatre, in which he
asked what Italy's position should be in
the face of the present war among
two empires pervaded by an autocratic
spirit and France, the France of 1859;
young Servia, waTlike Montenegro,
glorious Belgium and England, the land
of every liberty.
Italy's interests" he said, colonial
and national alike, are az stake. The
former are endangered by the pan
Islamic war; the latter must be com
pleted. but when the settlement comes
the neutrals will have no voice,
whereas new force by intervening
can decide that war"
