The Home Paper

Ex-Governor David r.
Francis, Of Missouri once said
the following Of newspapers:
Each year the local pa
per gives from $500 to 81, 900
in free lines to the commun-
ity in which tits located.
No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in
proportion to his means, does
more for the town than any
ten men, and in fairness he
ought to be supported-not
because you like him or adj
mire his writings, but be-
cause the local paper is the
best Investment community
can make.
It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with
thought, but financially it is
of more benefit to the COM
munity than the preacher or
teacher.
Understand ne, | DO not
mean mentally, and yet on
moral questions you will find
most Of the papers on the
right side. Today the editor
Of the local papers do the
most for the least money of
any people or earth.
And any business man
or citizen who refuses to sup
port his loral newspaper are
a drawback to their commun-
ity, and don't deserve sue
cess. =

IOFFICERS CATCH
ESCAPED CONVICT
Was Living in Gin and
Robbina Different Stores
at Night

Sheriff Moreland and Deputy
Coxwell on last Saturday morning
caught Will Porter, q negro, who
escaped FROM the county chain
gang some months ago.
The negro had been living in the
upstairs part Of the gin for the past
several weeks, and during the
night ro3bing different stores. Sew
eral unsuccessful attempts had
been made to catch him, but no
one had any idea that he was us
ing the gin for his dwelling house.
On Saturday morning Deputy
Coxwell noticed that smoke was
coming out Of the upstairs part Of
gin, AMI thinking that possibly it
was ON fire, started uptairs to in
vestigate. AS he was nearing the
place Of abode of Porter's, the ne
gro leaped out Of the window,
and struck out for safer territory.
Deputy Coxwell was after him in a
iiffy, and sent someone after Sher.
iff Moreand.
The officers overlook him about
mile and half from town, and
fred several shots before the negro
came to the conclusion that it was
better to surrender than to take
the risk Of the officers missing
their mark.
Stovall & Yeoman's store has
been broken in twice in the last
few days, and on the negro was
found some Of the property stolen
ont Of their store. The negro was
cooking his breakfast when Deputy
CoxwelI saw the smoke.
/ The Sheriff and his Deputy are
to be congratulated, not only in
catching the negro, but for the
quick way they went after him.

To these citizens as well Others
who are interested We wish to make
the following explanation
The Beard at their last meeting,

Get Your Dollar Going;
Pay What You're Owing
If you owe ten, and Just got ten, gopay it
and don't wait day; get clear Of the slate,
don't wait till too late and then have TO
regret it.
TS He BEST THING we know Of right now
to boost business and create confidence
In returning prosperity

to boost business and create confidence
in returning prosperity is debt paying
campaign The very best way to begin business
operations for the new year is determined effort
to clear away debts. This determination the
part Of every one to pay off all debts would do
mole to open up the cogged channels oftradethan
anything else.
In a season of business depression panic,
money is entirely too timid People who have
any seem to hold on to it as II they thought they
would not see any more. Money does absolutely
no good unless it is kept circulating paying debts,
buying commodities; that is what it is for.
We believe at this time it is solemn obligation,
duty every man owes to his community to set
about systemcally paying his debts. Don't reject
this campaign because you have not enough to pay
off all your oblgations if you can't do any better
adopt the dollar down and dollar month plan.
G,solt y,lr Shrinking dolar and its mission
Of redemption Money talks, and this dollar will bring
message Of cheer the merchant who has been carrying
your account last spring when you laying out
schedule the basis of fourteen cent cotton.
This dollar now skulkng in hiding will go from hand to
hand once it is started and will pay dozens of debts Turn
it loose, start it on its way rejoicing.
It takes some courage down accustomed expendi
and do without things you want but if that il
stry this debt paying campaign develop little Spartan
spirit ard do it.
Ifeverybody in the and county could agree day
and use every dollar available pay debts it would have
marvellous effect But don't wait for this make every day
paying day Count that day lost whose low descend
ing sun does not some effort your part toward reduce
ing your list of debts.
Turn your money loose no matter how small theamount

Take up this debt paying campaign in earnest make

BERLIN. May Germany is with holding it's final decision on the de mands advanced by the United States in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania until the receipt of an an swer from the United States to the note which Herr Won Jagow. foreign minister has delivered to Ambassador Gerard, in reply to the American note received by the German government on May 15.
 In reply the German government de clares It is not it's intention to submit neutral ships in the war zone, which are guilty of no hostile acts, to an at tack by submarines or aeroplanes It also states that it is investigating the circumstances in connection with the attacks on the American steamers Cushing and Gulflisht and that in all cases where neutral vessels through no fault of their own. have been damaged, Germany will pay an indemnification-
 The reply urges that in the case of the Lusitania, Germany was justified as a self defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at it's disposition to protect the lives of it's soldiers by de- stroVing ammunitFln intended for the enemy The German government re- calls the proposals submitted by the United States to Perlin and London. designed Sr end submarine warfare by shutting out food supplies from Ger many which it declares failed in their purpose because Of the refusal of the British government to agree to them.
 Following is the text of the Ger man note.
 The imperial German government has subjected the communications Of the American government to a thor cugh investigation. IL entertains also a keen wish to cooperate in q frank and friendly way in clearing Up any possible misunderstanding which may have arisen in relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the Ameri- can government.
 Regarding. firstly, the cases of the American steamers Cushing and GulfHght:
 The American embassy has been informed that Germany's government has no intention of submitting neut- raI ships in the war zone which are guilty of no hostile acts to attacks by submarine or submarines or avi- ators. On the contrary, the German forces repeatedly have been instruc- ted to most specifically avoid at tacks on such ships.
 If neutral ships in recent months have suffered through German sub marine warfare, owing to mistakes in identification, it is a question only of quite isGlated and exceptional abuse of flags together with sus picious or culpable behavior of the masters of the ships.

LONDON, May 30-Around the fortress of Prezemysl a mighty bat tle is still raging. The Austro- German armies are making a sup reme effort to cut off the stronghold and free these armies for opera tions against Italy and the allies Tn the west. Although great saf rifices in the west. Although graeter sacrifices are being made. The prog ress latterly has been extremely slow as the Russians have had time to bring large endorsements of men and artillery.
 North of the fortress the Russians appear to be more than holding their own, but to the southeast the Austrians and Germans claim to have made headway and are now in command with artillery and the rail way between PrZemysl and Lemberg. From the latter town the Russians draw a large portion of their rein forcements and supplies. The battle is still undecided. but hopes run higE in the allied camps that the Russians will be able to hold the lines until the advance of the Italians and the strengthening of the Anglo French army compels the Germans to with draw 2 part of their armies in Galicia.
 In the west there is considerable fighting along the Yser canal where the French report the occupation of the German trenches and in the vic inity of Neuville St. Vaast where the French have made an advance of about a quarter of a mile.

FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
 DOES MUCH GOOD DURING YEAR

One of the most interesting reports that has been submitted to City Man ager Robert A. Craig since he took of flee, is that handed to him on Saturday from Manager F. l.. Manning, of the municipal free employment bureau. The report covers a period of slightly more than one year and indicates that in quiet way the bureau has been op- erating most successfully and has been the means of accomplishing an untold amount of good among the laboring people of Phoenix.
 The report in full follows:
