Vote No License
Milbank Does Not n eed the saloon As
Business Proposition

On April Goth next the ques-
tion "Shall intoxicating liquors
be sold at retail will be sub.
mitted to the electors of the city
of MiIbank.
The question has been thrus
upon the citizens by a small
group Of men representing the
saloon interests in our city.
Now the members of the Mil
bank Civic League in a .large,
representive and enthusiastic
meeting held in the Library
Monday March 9Th are of the
opinion that at the forth coming
election Milbank should by an
overwhelming majority declare
itself in opposition to the saloon
Business men should answer the
above question with a big no.
license vote. Neighboring
towns. have become satisfied after
years Of trial that from a tinan-
cial and business standpoint the
licensed saloon is mistake.
The saloon is bad business as
the following letters show:
Appleton, Minp.
Dear Sir:-Your letter at hand. I
have interviewed several of our bus.
iness men and q banker OF Appleton.
They are unanimous In telling me
that business has been greatly i'm
proved since the saloons went out.
But, they say that taxes have been
just a trifle advanced. However,
they are insistent in the statement that
the increase in taxes has not been
made necessary simply by the loss Ut
the 81 800 in license money. When
the saloons were voted out, 2 years
since. the town had an indebted ness OF
$3O, 600. To meet this and various lo-
cal expenses, the Council voted tax
OF 81 800, for the past two years, in |
lieu OF the tax of s., 900 for the years
when the saloons were here. But, we |
have been building bridge which will |
cost into the thousands. The town
has been steadily building up, and in
spite Of the fact that one OF our bus
mess men has been passing q petition |
FOR vote upon the question OF license |
1t the coming election. the bu.ine |
men here are confident that it will be |
defeated moro than it was q year
since.
Again, all the fair-minded business |
men here unquali6edly assert that q |
greater per cent Of our people are |
paying cash for their purchases than
when the saloons were running.
More money is Ia circulation. and we
nave not single family on the town.
10 sum up, there is far better
spirit among the people, and the sa
looms are gone for good. Will write
you later. With best wishes for dry
Milbank, | am sincerely yours,
f. S. WHEELER.

WOMEN OF FUTURE WILL BE
TALL AND FAT. BUT NOT
DARK

San Francisco, Aug. 10.-Taller,
derked women, clothed in more SEN
sible dress, will typify the "eugenic
woman of the future, DR.. A. ]. Read,
professor Of hygiene in the normal
school of physical education at Bat
tie Creek, Mich, told the interna-
ti0nal conference on race betterment
at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
''The ideal woman of the eugenic
age will be plump and will be round
ed but not fat" said DR.. Read. Her
complexion will be ruddy or brown,
not pale. as that of the present day
woman, because the pale skin is the
badge of disease rather than Of
health.
present day fashions are advanc-
ing toward health fashions. Wo-
mans's dress is much more sensible
than twenty years ago. and womemn
generally are becoming more SEN
sible in dress. The hygienic dress,
however, should be suspendede from
the shoulders, leaving the waist
free"

LADY MAN.NLLER NABBED
FOR RUNNING BLIND TIGER

Mrs Florence MCGOWAN. who
was tried in Pensacola not long ago
for the killing Of one Buster"
Brown, and acquitted on the. tempor-
ary insanity plea, has been arrested
at or near Flomaton during the
past few days, and will be tried at
Brewton, the county seat of Escam-
bia county Alabama, soon on the
charge of selling liquor in Alabama
without license. She is accused Of
being a tigeress under the Alabama
law, absolutely prohibiting the sale
or even the transportation and pos
session of more than a certain guam
tity Of "booze." Ut seems that hers
was concealed in trunks or truck.
1t is alleged, and that when one of
the bottles broke the alleged posses
sion of the whiskey was detected.
Col. Frank Stone, who defended
her in the murder trial here, will
represent her at Brewton in the
charge Of being a tigress. He is
prosecuting attorney for Baldwin
county, Alabama. and recently con-
Quoted the prosecution Of two Pen
sacola men who were arrested and
Jailed at Bay Minette on the charge
of selling and transporting whiskey
in that part of Alabama. Stone con-
victed them and stated that Mrs.
MCGOWAN would be tried soon at
Brewton on the charge of selling
liquor and that he would defend her.
acordinfg to attorneys who were at
Bay Minette at the recent trial.
II Is probable that Frank Stone
will clear Mrs. MCGOWAN as they
are warm personal friends and he
was largely responsible for her ac-
quittal of a murder charge at Pen
sacola. He is quite a lawyer, they.

SURE ENOUGH, WHY9

Reading the Fatherland, Herman
Ridder, and the rabid pro-German
papers published in this country,
one wonders whether Carl Shurz and
others who have left their imprint
on American history, as Americans,
were correct when they left Ger
many because they were not favor
able to the form of government
which then prevailed and which pre-
walls there now
OEc wonders, if as these German
supports who so warmly assert that
the Kaiser's government is the most
democratic on earth, that German
kllture is the only culture, that
men and women are freer in Ger
naDy than elsewhere, wny 50 many
mr. 6reds of thousands Of Germans
have come to this country to escaps
as they have frequently told us, the
iniolerable conditions in that coun-
try.
IL German conditions are all that
is to be desired why is there not a
tremendous exodus of those who have
heretofore settled in this country? +?
The answer is simple. The men
who are agitating for Germany, who
arc saying that President Wilson is
, political bankrupt, who are
preaching sedition up and doyn this
country. are simply misstating the
conditions and are attempting to de-
ceive the German population in this
country. But they are not succeed
ing in convincing those hard head
ed cool thinking Germans who came
to this country to better their con-
| dition, and have done so; who
wanted a free government, and
found it here; who wanted to raise
their children in better conditions
than they could do In Germany. and
have been able to do so.-Mfami

WILL TAKE EN- TO SEA
AND TURN EN- LOOSE

Pensacola, Aug. 1.-THE cruiser
North Carolina, mother ship of the
aeronautic fleet, Is due in Pensacola
harbor early next month. She has
positive orders to leave the Ports
mouth, New Hampshire navy yards
on September 1, and not to delay
departure after that date under any
circumstances. This information
reached Pensacola last night and
sets at rest reports that the ship
probably would be sent back to Eu-
rope, to Mexico or some other part
CT the world.
Following her return from Eu-
rope, which had delayed her arrival
in Pensacola. the navy department
changed its plans and sent the ves-
sci to Portsmouth, where she was en-
tirely remodeled and fitted out COM
pletely for aeronautic work: She is
designed to aid in giving practical
instruction to the officers and men
undergoing instructions for flying
work in the navy.
Aboard her are appliances for
hoisting and storing aeroplanes, and
also for launching them from her
decks by means of a special device
which the service has developed.
So she is to take the aeroplanes
and their fiiers far out to sea and
turn them loose in the atmosphere,
to see If they can do the things that
they will have to do in time of war.
To fly over land is one thing, to fly
over water is quite something else.

FINDS A HOME

was unable to properly provide for
them. The society took them last
