 Graham

Washington. July 14.-Determined to bring about the confirmation of Mir Jones if possible, Pres ident Wilson has started one of the most active fights he has had since his inauguration
 Reports reaching the White House to- night were that four democratic senators, Hitchcock, Reed Nardaman and O'Gor- man, are opposing Mir. Jones. and that three republican senators. Sherman, Ste phenson and Burton, are for his con firmaton.
 Postmaster General Burleson Secretary McAdoo and Assistant Attorney General Graham were at the White House to- night discussing the situation. and they were in close touch with administration leaders in the Senate.

Will Specialize on
Submarines.

Washington, D. G. Nov. 10Th.
Uncle Sam has been watching
European affairs, and one of the
earliest results will be the con-
struction of what will probably
be the greatest submarine fleet
afoat. In the European strug-
gle some of the most effective
work has been done by subma-
rlne vessels, and as q result the
Washington government hasa
dopted a new type that will dis
place about 1900 tons, which
means that it will be about
twice the size of any submarine
afloat. The aim is 10 build a
submarine of high speed with
great defensive power that will
be able to keep up with h e
American fleet and never lag
behind. Dreadnaughts are hard
things to get out of Congress,
but submarines cost less, and
indications are that they will do
better work than the grea t
monster fighters.

society in our community have
a reporter of It's own whose duty
it would be to see that news re
garding it was sent to the paper.

approve of sucl. plan and glad

There is not a church, school
or any other organization that
does not have real, interesting
happenings every week, and if
these were reported our local
paper would be "chu ok" full of
interest in every issue. Our
Sunday school could furnish
news, the public schools in town
and surrounding country could
furnish news; every lodge c'uld
