There is considerable public interest, or perhaps curiosity as to the con tents of the last will and testament of Charles Denison Chapman, the we'll known local resident who died recently. There was a report current that he had bequeathed his saloon property and two automobiles to in- timate friends and had disposed of some of his personal effects to other friends. The will has been filed for probate and notice given of a hearing on the third Tuesday of the month, and will not be officiall made public
 It is understood, however, that al- though MT. Chapman made a will, it was drawn in such a way that the same result would prevail had he died intestate. The widows share is specified and the balance goes to other heirs-at-law and will finally be distrib- uted between a dozen and a half of cousins ssss

Flag Presentation
To Boy Scouts

A well attended meeting of the
Woman's Relief corps and G. A. R.
was held on Friday evening of last
week at the NJ. E. church to present
flag to the Boy Scouts. The pro-
gram was brief and interesting.
At the appointed time thirty-five
stalwart Boy Scouts with military step
and expectant faces, garbed in kahki
uniforms, filed past the audience to
reserved seats. 1t is certain that
their mothers never saw them pre-
sent a finer appearance
Patriotic music by a company of
talented singers was interspersed
with brief addresses from Captain
Bragg and Attorney Stone. Then in
very graceful manner and with well
chosen words Mrs. NJ. A. Davis, the
Patriotic instructor, presented to the
Scouts handsome "Old Glory flag
which was received with equal grace
and propriety by the captain of the
Scouts, Mr.. Floyd Harding.
The invocation by Rev. ]. H..
Cramps and the dismissal by Rev. C.

The Railroad
Strike Situation

The much talked of and much read
about railroad strike seems to be in
some sort of statu quo while the presi-
dent is juggling it. Some think he
will succeed in doing the stunt. while
many more are doubtful.
1t is more or less hazaroous un-
dertaking, politically speaking to at
tempt to settle matter so deep-seat-
ed and over which both employing
companies and employees have waged
literary campaigns for several years,
but it is to be hoped that the influ-
ence of President Wilson, or some
other influence as potent, may bring
the threatened strike to an end and a
satisfactory settlement.
Apparently the most rampant just
now are the telegraph operators. and
it is generally conceded that they and
the express employees have a griev-
ance, or are at least open to suspicion.

European War
Still Goes On

The European war is dragging its
way along, marked mainly by some
severe fighting and big, deceptive
headlines over the daily press dis
patches in the newspapers.
The trend of these is that Germany
is still getting the worst of it, but
still fighting in a dramatic defense.
Her Austrian armies are being great
ly harrassed if not cut to pieces by
the combined attacks of Russian and
Italian armies, and that England and
france are making inroads day by
day
No late conclusions have been ven
tuJed as to how much longer the war
in Europe will last Past efforts
along that line have been such dismal
failures that minus the nerve of the
weather prophet brigade. the wartime
seers have drawn into their shells.
The war reports from Mexico have
been crossed with those of the clam
fisheries, with the result that while
retaining a suggestion of revolutionary
conditions they have almost acquired
the voice of the clam.

1t is undeniable that the federalized

Captain Bra88's Presenta-

1T is 23 years since the Woman's
Relief corps, who present this flag
to you today, espoused the cause of
patriotic devotion to our country's
flag. They have given away over
one hundred and fifty thousand flags
and have established a custom which
is no longer nation-w wide. but uni
versal. God bless the Woman's Relief
corps.
When our naval patron saint, John
Paul Jones in the Bon Homme Rich
ard, captured the Seraptis, he carried
three sorts of flags, When the hal
iards we're shot away and the real
stars and stripes flag fell into the
sea, another was nailed to the mast
and went down with the ship. To the
sailor named Stoddard who rescued
it. the real stars and stripes flag was
presented by the congress. 1t now
