President Wilson has issued d
proclamation laying down rules
and regulations for the use OF
the Panama canal By the vessels
of belIigerant nations. The use
of the canal as a base Of supplies
or communication is prohibited.
No belligerent vessel will be per-
mitted to take On coal, oil or sup
plies within the canal zone,
except in cases of actual necessi-
ty. The canal is our weakest
point in our efforts to maintain
strict neutrality. The zone
should not be the meeting place
of any belligerent war ships AMI
on both sides this country should
see that all belligerent vessels
keep a safe distance.

Akebia Inn

The historic Blair residence has
been transformed into a modern
inn by the addition OF a large
number of rooms and the IN
stallation of every convenience
found in modern hotels.
Mr.. Goodlett has spared no
means in the improvement OF the
property, which will be occupied
by Mrs Clark, who will conduct
it as a hotel for both transient
and day boarders under the name
of Akebia Inn.
Mrs. Clark's we'll known repu-

CONTEST MEANS WORK
Contestants Made Wonderful Showing Already. 500
Extra Vote Offer Closes Monday, 23rd. Stand
by Your High Standard of Work
THE CHRISTMAS PROBLEM IS FINALLY SOLVED

Watch the votes grow as the
contest progresses. The work of
the contestants with the aid of
their friends will make a lively
race from now until the close.
Changes may daily be looked or
in this great campaign.
Any candidate can win If she
works just a little harder than
her opposing friends. We say
friends, for all who are now
in the contest are friends, and
there will not at any time be
anything done. or permitted to
be done, to destroy this friend
ship, which is more valuable
than all the prizes or money
ever offered. Friendship is the
most valued possession in the
world.
The large vote, continued fine
weather and the increasing I'M
certainty as to the winners of the
beautiful prizes have increased
interest in the contest to a won
derfu degree and put new energy
into the contestants all along the
line. When contestants know to
a certainty they are fighting in a
fair field, will get full justice and
clean cut honors and rewards
worth while, they do not mind
doing their best.
Dc not ask for information
about others. What opinion
would you form of a contest or
it's management if you were CIV
en- information that would give
you an advantage over other
contestants? You would not
think it was on the square would
you? Well, right here you might
as we'll make up your mind that
you are not going to be given
any information that would profit
you at the expense of any Of the
contestants. 1t will be a-Easte
of time tC ask it. We do nor at
any time during the contest play
a favorite. You will get a square
deal and courteous treatment,
but no information as to the
work of other contestants.
The rewards offered will be
won by those having the greatest
number of votes and they have
to size up the situation as best
they can and not expect to re-
ceive any information through
the contest management.

1t will be a pleasure to explain
to al! interested parties our meth
cd of conducting contests. We
can prove to you conclusively
that it will be impossible for the
management to give Information
that will make winning for any
one a certainty.
1T we expected to pass this
way but once and had no princi-
pies by which we live, probably
things would be different. But
we predict that the public will
be so well pleased we can return
and conduct another contest after
a reasonable length of time has
lapsed to make 1t profitable for
the paper. Which we are glad
to say, we have done in other
places.
We ask the contestants to pay
no attention to rumors that will
get afioat. They are for no other
reason than to discourage you.
Don't you know a big enterprise
has never been undertaken since
the world began that rumors
were not foated about it. If
you hear anything, take courage.
1t proves the contest is an inn
portant affair and you are a vital
part of it.
The 500 extra votes offered on
the dollar will be withdrawn at
5 p. NJ. Monday, 23rd.

Prophecy and History.

The best of the prophets of old
was Isaiah. in all of whose work,
there is nothing cryptic. 1t is never
necessary to resort to mathematics,
chronologie or ancient calendars in
discovering the meaning of Isaah's
prophecies, or to fix the time of their
fulfillment, for one time is as good
as another in the prophecies OF a
man who rarely prophecies anything
more than that nature will continue
TO take its course. Since nature is
always taking its course in human
affairs a day is as a century with
ISAIAH, and every day finds his words
fulfilled
The prophecies of Daniel, which
must be studied in a reference Ii
brary, are, nevertheless, the ones
most in favor since the beginning of
the war. All that is needed to make
Daniel the prophet of this war, or
any other, is to arrange his cryptic
figures so as to make them fall the
way you wish. Daniel is always the
prophets in such times as these, for
all sides to a military controversy can
take his lines and out of their alb
strusenes get whatever is wanted.
Daniel is now serving the ends of
such as try TO prove the Kaiser to be
the anti-Christ, More than a century
ago, Daniel was being used and with
the same cryptic words, to prove Ma
poleon was anti-Christ. After Napo-
leon had fought and won battle
with the Turks on the old field of
Armageddon, Daniel was quoted to
prove that the anti-Christ was indeed
come, In spite of the fact that il was
infidel Moslems Napoleon had routed
at the place seen in the vision OF the
Book of Revelation. Daniel is the
most accommodating OF all the
prophets. II is plain that he tried
o please everybody, and succeeded.
We may not even except Belshazzar.

all his other work and gave the king

Not at All Encouraging.

According to the Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, foreign manu-
facturers sent into the United States
the new Tariff S.S per cent. more
of their finished products than they
did under the old. This is a pretty
effective answer TO the theory of
President Wilson that the Under
wood measure meant the emancipa-
ton Of American manufacturers The
fact that there has been an increase
OF more than one twelfth in the I'M
portation of goods of this character
at q time when there is distinct
depression throughout the country
is not at all encouraging to say the
least, especially when it is taken in
connection with a decrease in eX-
portation which is bound to turn
The balance of trade against the coun
try. In the meantime il is a note
worthy fact that there has been no

at that moment on the point of enter
ing Babylon.
Isaiah is very accommodating
indeed. He makes small effort to fore
tell specific events save as they could
be seen continually growing out Of
the nature of things and the trans
gressions Of the world, such as the
coming of a Messiah and his rejec-
ton by world untitled to accept
him. Isaiah, like his contemporaries,
allowed very few people to escape,
but he did not, like Daniel, torment
the credulous among them with cryp-
tic signs to indicate the possible
dates of their misfortunes. Isaiah
contented himself with saysing that
evil causes must produce evil effects
whenever, in the course of nature;
the time is ripe. The popular prefer
which, in itself, is the greatest cause
ence for Daniel is a human weakness
of the evil effects Isaiah sees repeat

When a girl has sore throat
she always imagines that you mag

it is an agent with something to

Why The Young Folks Go To The
City,

city,
In many ways the town of Mt.
Carroll, ILL.,, seems to be a bright and
progressive community. II has a.
daily, tri-weekly and weekly
newspaper, all we'll edited and well
patronized by live advertisers. For
a town of 1000 souls 1t is well serv-
ed, journalistically, which is always
a sure indication that a town is not
dead.
Therefore Il is all the more startl-
ing to discover, printed in each Of the
Mt. Carroll newspapers, a notice from
the board of education warning the
children of the town not to play on
the school grounds after school
hours, nor ION other occasions when
school is not in session." under pen
atty of prosecution Ito the fullest ex-
tent of the law" Moreover the adult
citizens of Mt. Carroll are warned
of their own property, under pen
atty of fine or imprisonment hav-
| ing been discovered that these cit
liens have been passing through
the school grounds on their way to
and from town.
No, this board has not acted
thoughtlessly. 1t has acted, after
due and grave elaboration, as it
thought it should act. 1t is merely a
little behind the times. 1t is one of
the old fashioned boards, just like
the boards and town councils in
thousands of American villages, the
boards and councils that, for a Gen.
fury have been making and enforc-
ing laws and ordinances and regula-
tions to restrict this and suppress
that and prohibit the other thing.
This board does not know that at
this very moment progressive leg
islators in towns and cities thru
Tout America are removing and tear
ing down the restrictions that ages
of folly have erected to curb and re-
press the young. These rules. and
laws. and bonds were what disgust
ed the young people with small-town
life and drove them to the cities in
search of the freedom thy could not
find at home.
Modern boards of education are
throwing open the school grounds
for play purposes at all hours and
Inviting the children to use them.
They are throwing open the build
lings to the adults of the town for
meetings of all sorts. They are max
ing social centers of the schools.
The era of repression and fanati-
cism is drawing to close. Only in
the less progressive districts do the
elders of the village hold up their
hands in holy terror when they see
and hear the children run and play,
or laugh and shout. The modern
towns, the towns that are growing,
are keeping the young folks at home
by a liberal and constructive policy
of provision and proper supervision
of recreations. The advice of all ex-
perts in social service is do not an
tagonize exuberant youth with sup
preston and fanaticism." And the
village boards and councils which
heed this advice will eliminate one
of the immediate causes of the de-
cline of the country town.
