tapping it in every way and regulating

Gaping it in every way and regulating
it to death.
1t is easy to see that when a rail-
road goes into bankruptcy it can nave
little to expeni for improvements, adj
dftions and new construction, and that
when a great industry is paralyzed, its
doors are closed, not only on the en-
ployer but on the employee.
The capital of the employer may be
left idle and without its customary re-
turn. but the capital Of the workman,
which is his labor. also goes unre-
warded. When the pay envelope is
no longer passed out rugularly the
dinner pail ceases to be full.
The disturbing demagogue who
would array labor against capital
should be driven out of every commu-
nifty. Give him short shrift.
It is not generally known that An
drew Carnegie's first successful in
yestment was made in connection
with the introduction of sl,eping-cars.
On this venture he made profit of
over 100000 realized practically
without capital.

Famous Old Trails Found
Ouer N Hancock County

trail down the hill to the creek and
for some distance along it. The road
also follows the old trail at the little
creek near Nauyoo. On the north
west quarter Of section 30 in Rock
Creek township, a house recently
owned by Emil Occur stands parallel
with the old trail and while survey
ing land have noted many of the
overgrown trenches and Eullies that
mark the old trail from Nauvoo to
Beardstown and to the ancient town
of Frederick on the Illinois river, this
side of Beardstown. This trail may
have been used by some of the In
dams on their journeys to the dark
and bloody" grounds of Kentucky.
Almost the only good records OF
the pioneer trails are the physical
traces. Very few documentary rec
ords were made until the land own
ers began to ask to have the roads
run at right angles around their
farms. In June, 1856, Warren Miller
was ordered to survey !. new route
for that part of the Commerce and
Rushville state road extending from
Rock Creek township to EauvOo, and
the road was changed 20 run west
directly from section 30, in Rock
Creek township to Sonora landing on
the Mississippi, and thence up the
shore to Nauvoo.
The mounds on which this group
OF Indians built their teepees are still
to be seen on the south side of the
road across section 80, near the CEN
ter of the section on the high ridge
along the old trail from Fountain
Green to Nauvoo.
In an early day Warsaw was the
chief market of the county, as there
was no railroad, and steamboat traf-
fic headed there.
Pioneers of Fountain Green pre-
pared pork for this market and were
Obliged to throw away the excess of
spare ribs, pork chops, ETC., as the
hams, bacon and shoulders only, were
marketable; the hams bringing at
one time two and one-half cents per
pound, payable partly in money and
partly in calico, hardware, whisky,
ETC., many Of our early pioneers being
great believers in the efficacy of al
cohol.
Nauvoo was the only prohibition
city in the state and in 1874 was the
largest city in Illinois, and uni
versity town, being twice as large as
Chicago at that time.
In 1913 Abraham Lincoln Of Foun-
tain Green and William Smith Of
Nauvoo were authorized to view a
road from Ramus to Nauvoo. This
Abraham was a cousin OF President
Lincoln and William Smith was a
brother of Joseph Smith, and was a
member of the state legislature.

FEW RAIN DROPS
JUST TO SHOW
IT COULD RAIN

. A few drops of rain which fell
. yesterday afternoon and an ad- :
. ditiona1 drop or two which pat
o tered on the tree leaves last
. night has revived hope that J.
. Pluvius isn't wholly a rank de-

q was demonstrated when there
. was quite a scattering of drops
= on the sidewalk about four
q o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
. common greeting about that
q time was, I'm willing to get
. wet, aren't you" The alleged
. shower continued off and on,
. mostly off, for a few minutes.
. Again last night there were a
. few drops tipped over out of

designed to stir up feeling between this
country and Japan. A few months ago
German newspaper in Yokohama was
found guilty of such an offensc and the
publisher and his staff were forced to
leave the country.
ut is a significant fact that these men
who went to Shanghai are continuing
their work of spreading false reports. Ar
ticles are being sent out from Pekin
and Shanghai for the definite purpose of
embroling this country in war with ia
pan. 1t is my firm belief that much of
this propaganda of dissenson is being
financed by the German sources
Germany knows the advantage she
would gain If she could drive the United
states and Japan into war. She knows
that II would put a check on shipment of
munitions to the Allies; she knows that
war would keep Japan SO busy that she
could not protect England's interest in
the Orient.
"The American people have never shown
enough appreciation of the fact that the
peace of the whole of Asia and the free
dom of the Pacific is directly due to the
fact that Japan promptly and courage
ously kept her part of her treaties with
England. without such support It would
be difficult to imagine that England would
have been able to close the North Sea
with her fleet. If the North Sea was
open it is probable that the Pacific Ocean
would now he involved in warfare which
would be disastrous to American COM
mercc."
Doctor Tausler questioned the report
printed recently that Japan was renew
ing pressure on China in the matter of
the 'hfth group" of treaties.

GERMANTOWN SURVIVOR
OF TITANIC GETS $3.50

Jewels and Clothing

Mrs. Charlotte u. NJ Cordcza, of Ger

York Trust Company for immediate dis
tribution among the $50 claimants for

Ceives the same amount as Mrs Harris.

Mr.. Northrup of the firm of Il. a. Ash

OOO 600
The first who will receive checks in the

Their fees total $4,000.
