Secret Society Government

The new Sultan, Mahomet V, offered Enver
Pasha entrance into the Imperial family
through a marriage with his favorite 10
year-old niece daughter OF Prince Sulieman.
Acceptance by Enver meant that his princess
would insist that he renounce his right to
four wives But he agreed, only asking for
two years in which to perfect his study of
military tactics in Germany, At the end of
that period the marriage took place The
Imperial alliance, however, made Enver
Pasha the power behind the throne and the
virtual ruler OF Turkey. or did it? Enver
made himself the power behind the throne
and the virtual ruler of Turkey.
When the first shot in the great war was
fired Enver saw an opportunity to launch a
patriotic venture. Turkey at this juncture
of events was governed by secret society.
Men in ofice-even the hlghest-were
dominated by the Committee Of Union and

only upon condition that they would obey

and he pardoned. Abdul Hamid had become
alarmed by the secret propaganda of the
now powerful Committee of Union and
Progress, in which Enver was leading fig

pretended that he wished to honor rather
than to punish the suspect. But Enver, a

Rich Milk Means More Profits

An appeal to the dairyman's desire
to make money is the easiest way to
purify a city's milk supply.
That is the advice of Prof. Hugh G.,
Van Pelt, considered by many as the
greatest dairy authority in America.
1t was given at the Coates House.
where he was attending the Southwest
Jersey Cattle Beeder's Association.
| In 1905, Professor Van Pelt estab-
lished certified milk dairy at Column
! bus, o., and demonstrated that the
public is willing to pay high prices
for high grade milk. Two years ago
he resigned his school work in Iowa
to devote his entire time to his writ
ings and to making an ordinary COM
mercial dairy pay. In this he has been
singularly successful
In the face of Scent competition his
dairy company at Waterloo, Ia, is pro-
ducing milk from it's own Jersey herd,
selling it with not more than six thou
sand bacteria to the cubic centimeter
which is equal to certified milk
getting ten cents quart for it and
making 80 per cent. on the investment.
"One big thing in our favor" he
said, rs the fact that we give the peo-
pie milk that has an ave rage of about
per cent of butter fat. The people
like its richness and they are willing
to pay more for milk that is rich
enough for coffee"
Referring to the Kansas City situa-
ton, Prof. Van Pelt said:
"If man in business is not proud
enough of his business to supply a
clean product, then he does not de-
serve to have the business. There can
be but one exception to that. 1t is
when public sentiment forces him to
sell at a price that is not profitable

Square paving job, excluding Amiesite
is about $3,309.4S. The salaries and
supervisors for the same job includ-
ing work on the West Second street
and Record street sewers is about
$3,77095
The streets of the city are now in
unusually good shape. Recently the
members of the Board of Aldermen or
dered the enforcement of the ordi-
nance compelling all bitches and holes
in the street to be filled, whether they
were opened by the city forces or by
the workmen of private firms and cor
porations.

which escaped from furnaces. The
first case occurred on last Wednesday

ing for the entertainment of Mount
Carmel Reformed Church, were over

ming, when two were made ill and the
audience at the entertainment of Mt.
Carmel Methodist Protestant Church,
was driven from the edifice.
Those who suffered follow:
At the Reformed Church Wednesday

Miss Annie Mayne, of near Pearl,
overcome and fell to the floor.
Miss Edith Cromwell about ten
years old, daughter of William Crom-

Miss Nellie Anderson, about twelve
years old, daughter of Alden Ander-
son, of near Pearl, unconscious for
about 20 minutes.
Miss Leanora Miller, daughter of

and within short while nine persons
were ill. Little Nellie Anderson was
the most serious, being unconscious

were hurriedly thrown open and those
who were not affected obtained teams
and drove the ill ones to their homes
Owing to the quick discovery of the

FRIDAY. JANUARY l, 1915.

WITH this the first issue of The
CITIZEN for the year 1915, there goes
out to our readers, our friends and pa
irons, and the public generally, a most
sincere wish for everything that will
be good for them during the ensuing
twelve months. OF course there is no
limit to our wish in regard to time, and
we may add the hope that good things
will continue as long as we all are per
mitted or deemed worthy to enjoy them
by the Great Bestower OF All. Much
that will happen during the New Year
will depend greatly upon each and every
time when the proper disposition of af-
fairs in this country will be so pregnant
with beneficial results. We have seen
during the Holiday Season the greatest
y of charities promulgated and carried into
~ fulfllment, which shows the good heart
Of the public, and its willingness to help
the needy and distressed. Now we must
&c
: grid ourselves for the work that is to be
done in both local and national spheres,
and give aid and cooperation to those
G who have charge of the welfare of the
" people.
7 1t is no time for narrow patisan acts
e or expressions, and it is no time for any
ua thing but wholesome willingness to do
y. unto others as we would have others TO
laL
ut do unto us. This applies to the bust
''0' ness, social, and religious worlds, and if
eral we but do even part of our duty, there
q r can be but one general good result.
d 10 Our good wishes are extended to our
'enle
ne c. CITY ana county ohciais, ana TO those
~ who make up the state and national gov
ernments. May their acts be guided by
the Master Hand to the end that peace
hl and prosperity will reign throughout the
length and breadth of the land, and that
all the people may enjoy their full pro-
portion thereof
