Deputy Arrests Burris--

Deputy Sheriff Walter Mossholder
arrested e. G. Burris at Granville on
Monday afternoon. Burris is wanted
in Mt. Vernon on charge of de-
frauding a groceryman, Frank Tyd-
ings. The affidavit was sworn to by
Mr. Tydings in the court of Squire
George S. Harter. Mr.. Tydings al
leges that Burris owes him the sum
of $1O.S4 for groceries. 1t is alleged
that Burris lived in Mt. Vernon just
three weeks and then skipped out
leaving the unpaid bill. The officers
received word Monday that Burris
was at the home of his father in Ere
donia, Licking county. Deputy Sher-
iff Mossholder went to the place and
learned that his man was in Gran
vile. He then went to the latter
place and arrested Burris. The man
was brought to Mt. Vernon and
remained all night. On Tuesday
morning Mr.. Tydings stated that II
the man would go to work and earn
sufficient money to pay the grocery
bill and the costs he would not
prosecute the case. This Burris

SHERRILL,S PAN-AMERICANISM

Charles H. Sheriff., former Amer
lean minister to Argentina, in an adj
dress at Buffalo, made the rather
startling assertion that the time is
ripe for the United States to ask Eu-
ropean countries to relinquish posses
sion Of their colonies in the western
hemisphere.
1T is very doubtful if ever again
the United States will be in better
condition to ask favors of Europe
than it is at present. said Mr.. Sher-
rill, in referring to the fact that Euro
pean nations were seeking financial
assistance in this country as never
before; and he declared the United
States owed it to her sister republics
to ask Europe ito release to the SOW
ereignty of the peoples themselves

hemisphere"

WEEKS FOR CHEAP POSTAGE

Planning to aid legitimate bust
ness to throw off the depressing eff
fects of the European war, Senator
John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, an
aspiring candidate for the Republicaa
presidential nomination, has proposed
the reduction of postage on letters in
tended for local delivery from two
cents to one cent The reduction,
the senator believes, would be espe-
cially advantageous to all lines of
local business.
For many years the senator was
chairman of the house committee on
post offices and post roads. He is at
present a leading member of the cor
responding committee of the senate
Aside from business created by
the demands of the European war and
business concerning the manufacture
of some specialties like automobiles,

CZARINA CURED BY THE WAR

1t is no secret that the mind Of
the czarina of Russia has been seri-
ously affected for many years past.
She was subject to marked form of
melancholia, with other mental peculi-
arities. Physicians who had examined
her feared that she was driftiNg into
hopeless insanity.
And now, miracle of miracles!
Her mental sickness has been COM
pletely cured by the war. That which
has brought such unspeakable woe
and misery to millions of people has
brought relief to the once unhappy
czarina.
1t is the serious hard work she
has been doing as e war nurse that
has benefited the cyarina's mind.
Coming into close contact with pain
and grim reality with human patience
and human weakness has lifted her out
of her life of morbic self-concentra-
ton and exaggerated terrors, and
made her normal h,iman being.
