World; Saloons Proves his Undoing.
Chicago, Ill. Nov. 1s.--The extra
ordinary plea for sentence to hang
or life Imprisonment. instead Of a
-year-sentence, was made In
Judge Hugo PANS court by Lloyd L.
Sampson. n half-breed Indian.
The only thing / am thinking Of
Is my mother" said Sampson. "She
is in Center City. S. D. My sentence
will bring her life to an early close.
l might Just az well go down for life
or hang, because 1 could not face the
world as an ex-convict without my
mother"
Sampson has been held since last

OF new MOVEMENT

England Government Asking Em-
pire Follow Lead by Allies.

London, England. Nov. ia petit
ton shortly is to be presented to the
British government by the Strength
of Britain movement" asking that the
government follow the lead of the
greatest among the allies to prohibit
the sale of alcohol This remarkable
appeal has already been signed by
one thousand representatives of the
brain power of the nation including
leading officers in the army and navy
directors of munitions, privy council
ors, men In literature, art and music
hnance and industry, university and
college professors, heads OF public and
secondary schools, scientists and medi-
cal men,
The memorial claims 'two grave
dangers stand before the country,
holding back the power of early VIC
tory and throwing q shadow over the
vision OF peace. One is the wasting
power Of alcohol; the other is the
imperiling of infant life Among all
the factors of weakness these confront
us with terrible vividness and they lie
within our own control. With the
weakening power of alcohol removed,
our national effort against the enemy
would gather increased strength: with
the increased strength and more rapid
supplies. our losses in six campaigns
would have been substantially re-
duced.''
The Effect OF Alcohol.
The following facts are given con-
corning the effect of alcohol:
It hinders the army, delays NUM-
tons, keeps thousands of men from
war work daily, makes good workmen

Hampers the navy. delays trans
ports. places them at the mercy of
submarines, slows down repairs ano
congests docks.
Threatens the mercantile marine.

months of war 1t consumes more than
two and one-half million tons of food.

eighty days, and uses up more sugar

Wastes our financial strength; In
the first twenty months of the war
our people spent on alcohol three hun
dred million sterling.

MISS VERA WHITE.

On July 25th, at her home, our dear sister, Vera, came to a victorious death. She was born Jan. 5th, 1891, and died July 25th, 1916.
 She was saved at about the age of 16, some years later was gloriously .santified, and lived a most sweet and beautiful life until Jesus called her to live with him. While we are left sad and lonely, yet we rejoice to know that she is free from all pain and sorrow and disappointments of this life, and has joined the Angelic choir where all is peace, joy and happiness. Oh, how We miss dear Vera, but through a mist of tears we look up land say, Thy will be done" On Fri day afternoon before she fell asleep early Tuesday morn, she played the organ and sang her favorite songs, Hell Take You Through" and There's Nothing in the World Like Jesus" Oh, how we will miss her dear sweet voice and presence in our homes. It is with sad and aching hearts that we give her up, but we expect to meet her again where there is no more sad partings, no farewell tears are shed. May God help all those that are not prepared to meet death, to heartily give their hearts to God, for death is surely coming to all and blessed are they that die in the Lord.
 Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Jno. White, interment in Caynie cemetery to await the resurrection.
 Death robs us all here,
 There none ever die
 l want to go there, do;
 There loved ones will never again
 say, Goodbye"
 l want to go there, 1 do.
 HER SISTER, ALICE.
