CENTERVILLE MUST
REGULATE TRAFFIC

Centerville, May 19.-Traff1c on our
public square is to be closely guarded
from now on, says Chief of Police
Koontz. Eight policemen were depu-
tized to make all vehicles turn to the
right and turn square corners and to-
day flags are being placed in the pave
ment at each corner and every street
leading onto the square with the flags
up the police are determined to make
everyone observe the turns. If you are
seen turning the corners the wrong
way on driving on the left left side
of the road you are likely to be lined
up as determination is the chief asset
of the police force. 1t will seem hard
for everyone to observe the rule but
with a little training and coaching it
is hoped that before long there will be
no trouble at all with drivers. Although
some little quarrels were often had by
the police with the farmers who did
not like the new rule it Is hoped that
they will not think Centerville ways
too citifed and never come back. At
least the city will take chance on 1t.

the country has taken with regard
to the treatment OF Belgium.
The speaker referred at length to
the international laws, conventions of
The Hague and accepted rules of the
nations, and defended the policy of the
administration He said it was sup
ported by all the conventions and rules
of nations governing neutrality and he
defined the neutral position as under
stood in international affairs. The ad-
dress was both interesting and instruc-
tive and left the hearers little room to
question the stand of the United
States in Its duty as neutral nation
and its treatment of Belgium. He
showed where the United States had
no right to interfere in any manner
with the regard to the violation Of
Belgian neutrality by any of the bel
ligerent parties to the present Euro
pean war and cited how this country
has done just what 1t could properly
do-offer it's service in behalf of
peace to all of the belligerents. The
speaker also reviewed the changes in
modern methods and implements Of
war.
William Reece was announced fol-

and made splendid address on
Neutrality, Peace and Arbitration"
The address of Mr.. Reece tened with
interest and showed considerable
thought along the lines the subject
deals with. Neutrality, blockade, con-
traband of war, international law.
treaties between nations, ETC., were
gone into at some length. The sinking
of the Lusitania and of the battleship
Maine were referred to and discussed.
The attacks of submarines on mer-
chant ships were cited and the carry
ing of American citizens on sucn yes
sells as a guarantee Of the safe de-
livery of contraband, were condemned
by the speaker.
The talk was made largely plea
for peace and arbitration. The speak
err said that If vote of the people
could be resorted to, wars would be
averted and he urged that this right
of king parliament and congress, to
declare war, except to defend against
invasion, should be withheld and left
in the hands of their subjects to be
decided by vote, those voting for war

MAYOR DENOUNCES
ANONYMOUS WRITER

Shenandoah, May 19--"You are the
lowest spawn Of Satan. You are the
most degenerate person in the state.
Your brain is shriveled and your heart
is black as midnight You are cow

These are the terms which Mayor
w. D. Gay of Essex. in public state
ment, applies to the writer of the
anonymous letters that he has been
receiving lately. One was tied on the
barn door and averred that the mayor
was being watched.
The intruder, if again seen on the
place after midnight, will be shot,

Mr.. Gay says he is not certain who
the author is, but suspects it is the
person who stole four letters from his
desk on either May or 5.

ed. A more happy and good-humored

ed. A more happy and good-humored
assemblage would be impossible to
gather and the dinner was made the
occasion of much enjoyment. Spring
chicken and all that goes with it to
make wholesome and enjoyable re-
past was served the guests. Anec-
dotes and "reminiscences of the days of
81 to '64 were recalled and good
humored sallies between the veterans
and their good wives of the relief
corps were general. 1t would be hard
to conceive Of more enjoyable event
than was enjoyed at the Adler home.
In keeping with the nature of the
occasion, the Adler home, both inside
and out, was CARRIED in the national
colors and Old Glory was in evidence
everywhere. Each guest was decked
out with miniature flag in his lapel.
The entrance to the various rooms,
within the home were flags and bunt-
ing and the electric lights were in
clusters OF red, white and blue.
w. r. c. to Serve Picnic Dinner.
About seyenty-five persons were
present and following the dinner
guests quartered about the various
rooms listened to an interesting pro-
gram of talks and music. W. A..
Work was chairman of the evening
and announced the program. He
stated in his opening remarks, that
he would urge upon the women of the
relief corps to try to get the w. r.
C. from all over the county to unite
in general picnic for the W. r. c..
and G. A. r. at the annual Old Sol
diers' meeting that is to take place
during the coming summer. Mrs. Adj
Ter, as president of the Cloutman W..
r. c., responded in behalf Of the
corps, saying that the women would
fall in with the idea and the usual pic
mic dinner would be served at the vet
Grams meeting. In this she was sec
onded by Mrs James King, who re-
viewed the practices of the past in
that regard.
Waterman Talks on Neutrality.
H. l.. Waterman, the first speaker
called upon by the chairman, took up
the question of the position the United
States has held with regard to neu.
trality and defended the administra
ton in it's stand and urged his hearers
to do likewise. He said that In his
opinion there is practically unani-
nous approval of the position Of the
United States in the present European
war. He referred at some length to
some criticism made in a published
article attacking President Wilson and
the administration on the stand that

Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For 80 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and. after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glo1y "
and luxuriant. You will also din,

DEN MARK.

Arrangements have been made to
hold an international socialistic peace
conference in London January II, at
which each neutral country will be
represented by four delegates. Jeppe
Borgbjerg. leader Of the Danish social
lists, admits no practical results, are
anticipated, but he thinks the confer
ence will serve to pave the way for the
resumption Of friendly international
relations when the war is over.
"On the islands of Falster and Lad
land" says Norwegian globe-trotter,
the principal crop is sugar beets. To
harvest this crop is dirty work, and
the Danish women will not do 1t. And
the men have no time for such work
So for this harvest large numbers Of
women laborers are brought over from
Poland. A few men come also, but
only to boss the job. The Polish
women pull up the beets, live on next
to nothing and send their earnings
home to their husbands in Poland.
When the harvest is over the women
are ferried over to Germany, herded
together in fourth-class cars and car
ried back to their families. We saw
great numbers of these peripatetic
members Of the industrial army. some
Of them with infants in their arms. on
the way to the Polish winter quarters.
and pitiful sight they were"
1t is admitted that Denmark has a
union question on her hand. A num-
Der of years ago the Icelanders began
to demand greater political liberty, and
the more they got of it the more they
wanted. The Icelanders have ad-
vanced sufficiently to have a special
representative in the cabinet of Dem
mark. That satisfied them only for a
while. Now they demand that this
official shall not be a member of the
Danish cabinet, but that he shall deal
with the king directly and exclusively
with regard to Icelandic matters. The
Danes balk at this, They claim that
the minister Of Iceland may want
something that affects Denmark, and
in such cases the Danish cabinet ought
to be authority. Neither side is in
clined to yield, and there the matter
stands. The war is causing far more
trouble and anxiety in Denmark than
in Iceland. and the Icelanders feel that
this is just the time for them to press
their political claims. What the Ice
landers want now is practically what
the Norwegians had with regard to
the king Of Sweden before 1905. They
are willing to use the king Of the
Danes, but they want to be independ-
ent of the Danish people.
