COLD STORAGE GRUB FINE
Messiah Lutheran Church Bible Class
Holds Banquet

Turkeys and hens which departed this
life more than year ago figured conspic-
uously In a feast which was given last
night by the Harvey Miller Bible Glass at
Messiah Lutheran Church, 18th and Jeffer-
son streets
There were eggs, too, which first saw
the light of day many months ago, but
like the fowl and other good things pres
ent. they were perfectly resigned. AS all
the food had been preserved in cold stor-
age plants the feast was pronounced a
success. In fact. one of the objects of the
banquet was to remove the prejudice
against the cold storage method of keep
ing food.
On the menu card attached to each arti-
Gle OF food was it's obituary. 1t was
learned that some of the chickens came
from Ohio, and the butter all the way
from Minnesota. -...s
The food was placed in storage room
FIVE degrees below zero on June is and
withdrawn last Wednesday. Several
speakers declared that the cost of living
would be reduced II housewives would
preserve food in this way. About 300 per-
sons attended the dinner.

THE German governmenthas answered
President v ilson'S note OF some weeks
ago by deliberately torpedoing another
passenger vessel and causing the death OF
more American citizens. The President
said that such an act would be regarded
as deliberately unfriendly. II is apparent
that the Germans do not care how he
regards it, and the wise and peace-loving
head Of our government is confronted
with trying situation. II is hard TO take
such an offront, and yet the horrors of
the present war may well cause US to
earnestly consider before we are plunged
into The dreadful conditions under which
Europe is writhing.
We are not surprised at the action OF
the Germans. The spirit OF militarism
that has become the dominating influence
OF that empire is of necessity callous and
and merciless and regardless of the rights
OF other nations and Of individuals, to say
nothing OF indifference 10 humanitarian
considerations.
The only way TO cause Germany to
observe our rights is by superior force of
arms. Are we in position TO resort 10
the arbitrament OF war?

The ST. Adams Herald, one OF the we'll
edited, clean county papers of the State,
makes the following comment on the SEN
atorial race:
"The Herald will support any good, re-
liable, straightforward, representative
man for u. S. Senator that has not the
faint of Hatfield about him. II will sup
port any man for Governor who is not a
figure of the administration. The
Herald is Republican paper but il can't
stand for any one who is tainted by the
present run of State affairs"
That's putting it pretty strong, but it is
just what big majority of West Virgin
ians are thinking. The net result will be
Democratic administration to succeed
the present Republican misrule. The
people are tired of the manner in which
things are being run by the Republican
machine. Exchange.
