LODI MAN FINDS
FINES IN HIS FURS

B. Buchanan, who buys furs and hides
was before Justice Pruyn last Friday,
on complaint of the village, charged
with violation Of the ordinance passed
last fall relative to obnoxious odors, etc.
E. e. Tucker of the Lodi creamery was the
complaining witness, and William Pack
ham, as chairman of the board of health
brought the matter to head. Buchan-
an has his place of business near the
creamery and the complaint reel ted
that the odor coming from skunk hides
Kept there was violation of the vii
lage ordinance referred to. Justice
Pruyn held court in the auditorium of
the new city hall and after hearing the
evidence presented by several witness
es he fined Buchanan $50 and costs, the
latter amounting to some SIG more. 1t

Two Courts With Same Opinion

Our readers will remember the other
hide case against Mr.. Buchanan, that
was tried in justice court in Portage
last month, the charge being that he
bought and had IN his possession a stoi-
en- hide. He was fined by the Portage
justice $50 and costs. He appealed the
cese to the circuit court and the triA
was held before q jury Wednesday of this
week. The jury pronounced verdict
of guilty and Judge Fowler gave his7
decision this Thursday morning, which
confirms the fine imposed ia justice
court, with the costs OF the circuit court
trial added thereto Lodi Enterpri sc

TAKING UP WAR ORDER SLACK

Before many months, from all in
dications, It will be possible to Judge
whether general prosperity in this
country is at such high tide that
it's overflow can fill the industrial
interstices left by the falling of Of
special war orders.
It is too early to form definite
judgment; but it is very evident that
in the long run this country will be
better off for the gradual withdrawal
of orders for specialized munitions,
such as arms, shells, and the like,
before the wars end. Europe has a
long period of fighting yet ahead Of
1t. Even if it doesn't require our
explosives, weapons, aeroplanes, mo-
tor cars, and other distinctly fight
ing material in such large quanti-
ties, it will continue to call on US
for huge quantities Of other supplies;
and the gradual shifting Of our &C.
tivities from making the one to the
other sort of articles, will enable the
readjustment to be accomplished
gradually, and to spread the shock
over long period.

A HIGHWAY KEY TO VIRGINIA

In Ia efforts to raise a fund for
completion Of modern motor high
way between Washington and Rich
mond, the A. A. A. District Of Co.
lumbia Club deserves whole-hearted
support.
Granted that the clubs energies
arc directed primarily toward open
ing a new touring ground to its
members, and that the money OBJ
tanned Is to be spent in Virginia, the
broader aspect remains unchanged;
in the view Of the broad visioned
Washingtonian is the unalterable
fact that the 10000 visitors the elm
ination Of the Chopawamsic swamp
will let into Washington will spell
added prosperity, more trade for
commercial Washington.
Tho American Automobile Asso-
citation, which has come to be recog-
nized as the national authority in
motor-touring matters, and its TOO
affiliated clubs, annually give road
advice to the majority Of this coun-
try's two and one-quarter million
road users. This authority points
with unerring accuracy TO the $780,
900 trade loss Washington mer-
chants and hotelkeepers are about to
sustain this season if the Chopa-
wamsic swamp remains. At the rate
highway travel by motor car is in
creasing, it is estimated that Wash.

be $4,000 in 1917.

MR.. ROCKEFELLER'S BIGGEST
ACHIEVEMENT

On the day which, in excellent
health and spirits despite rather an
animated career Of achievement,
John D. Rockefeller celebrated as
the seventy-seventh anniversary Of
his birth, the newspapers said he was
worth 100000, 900, and had COM
pletely recovered his health by rig
idly following the orders of his doc
tors.
Not q few people, afflicted as was
Mr.. Rockefeller, will envy him the
latter accomplishment even moro
than the heap of worldly goods which
testifies to the marvellous accumu-
lating possibilities Of one lifetime.
Not unlikely 1t required as much de-
termination, tenacity, and steady
purpose to get health as It did to get
the eight hundred millions. Not less
possibly, Mr.. Rockefeller would quite
as soon sacrifice the money as the
bodily comfort he Is now able to
enjoy.
We opine that II the Richest Man
could prescribe a regimen, and in
duce people to follow it, that would
do as much for other unfortunates
as It did for him, there would be
few among its beneficiaries to be-
grudge him the somewhat obstrep-
erous solvency that makes his front
stoop so inhospitable a refuge for
flfe wolves.

PROPOSE SENDING BRYAN.
Local Democrats Would Name Him

Local Democrats, Joined by others
Of King county, propose to present
the name of William Jennings Bryan
to the Democratic state convention at
North Yakima next Tuesday as a del
egate from this state to the national
convention in st. Louis.
Members of the local delegation
planned this action when news was
received that-Mr. Bryan had been de-
feated as a candidate for delegate-at-
large from his home state. Nebraska,
and the plan TO present his name to
the Washington convention was con-
ceived in informal talks amnog men,
bers of the Thurston county delega-
ton. When broached to Robert
Bridges, the latter said King county
Democrats would join heartily in the
plan.
