ALLEN GEE HELD UP AND
 ROBBED CHRISTMAS NIGHT
Negro Takes S15 From Small Son of Imon Gee and Makes
 His Escape

Allen Gee, the little son of Mir. and Mrs. Imon Gee, was held up and robbed Christmas night of $15 by an unknown negro. In looking for the highway man soon after the hold up, a suspi. cious negro was located. and in attempting to arrest him he re- sisted, followed by shots from Constable Fred Murrah and Night Watchman Charlie Litton, one of which struck the negro in the leg. badly shattering the bone. The wounded negro claims to live at Hope and also at Sutton. The money was not found on him and it is not posi- lively known that he is the par ty. A pistol was taken from him, and it was his attempted use of this gun that caused the officers to shoot.

MOSCOW CHURCH

The first quarterly conference of the Prescott Circuit is a thing of history. Rev. J. A. Tender son, P. E. preached at II a. m., Dec. g, 1916, a great sermon on the third chapter of Acts.
 At noon the ladies served din- ner in the church. It was a bountiful feast. Then. immedi- ately we held the business session of the quarterly conference.
 Five out of eight churches had representatives present. They made good reports for the first conference.
 They made nice increase in the salary of the Presiding FL der and preacher in charge.
 Saturday night we had a beau tiful Xmas tree under the aus pices of the Sunday School and it was a success in every particu- lar. The Superintendent and helpers deserve special credit for the splendid program.
 We were highly entertained Sunday at II a. m. Rev. J. A. Henderson preached a Christmas sermon. At the close of this service Bro. Henderson received eight members into the church and administered the sacrament of the Lords Supper. This closed the first quarterly conference held in Prescott District by our new Presiding Elder and it was a spiritual feast.
 At SD. m. he preached to a large congregation at Pleasant Ridge church. Our people are much in love with Bro. Hender- son and feel like he is the right man for Eldership of Prescott District.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WON

But Recreation Basketball Five Lost
to Dalton.
Fourteen girls from Bennington
journeyed to Dalton, Mass, Monday to
meet two basketball teams on the
Dalton floor and this morning they re-
turned with one game lost and one
victory. The high school girls won
after a close and exciting game by q
score Of 12 to TO- The high school
girls went onto the floor first and
matters looked rather dubious for the
local girls at the end of the first
half with the score standing 10 to 6
for Dalton.
With general shift in the line up
for the second half, the entire team
buckled down to hard and steady play
ing and made field baskets and 2
goals, while keeping their opponents
down to single basket
The Recreation team played a splen
did game, although it lost to the tune
of 1S to II. The Bennington players
were seriously handicapped by being
obliged to play in three courts, and
the girls did not find the basket until
the last three minutes of the first
half when they made successive
throws from the field.
The girls who went from the High
school were Margaret Nash, Minnie
Fisher, Alice Green, Helen Carpenter,
Elsie Wahlquist, Beulah Whiteley.
The Recreation girls were Nellie
Maher, Helen Nc CURE, Agnes Nc
Bride, Margaret Young, Marie Young,
Anna Fisher and Ella Sigworth.
Miss Vossler accompanied the
players at Library theatre March 3.

Chairman Perkins Says Roosevelt
Is as Popularas in 1872
COMMITTEE MEETING CALLED
Progressivcs Who Have Returned to
Old Parties Believed to Be at
Heart Proeressives.

New York, Feb. 21.-Thare will be
meeting Of the Progressive national
committee in its rooms at 80 East
Forty-second street within ten days,
1t was announced today by George w.
Perkins, the national chairman. At
that meeting reports will be received
as to Progressive strength and Roose-
welt sentiment from every state, and
there will be comparison of notes as
to just how welcomely the name of
Justice Hughes Is received in outly-
ing Progressive districts.
Perkins says he has heard already
enough to indicate to him that
Colonel Roosevelt is just as popular,
probably more popular, than he was
in 1912. He says the falling off in
the enrolled strength of the Progress
sive party is not especially important,
since most of the men who have re-
turned to the Republican party or to
the Democratic party go back as
Roosevelt men still, he. asserts, and
are ready to vote for the Colonel
once more
One of the interesting reports re-
ceived will be as to the race for gov
ernor of Louisiana that John w. Park
er is making on the Progressive
ticket. Parker. according to reports
received at the national headquarters,
has an excellent chance OF being elect
ed upon his protective prosperity pre-
paredness platform.
The Progressive leaders believe
they have killed effectually any such
notion as was put forward by William
Barnes that Colonel Roosevelt will
support Elihu Root or any other Re-
publican candidate who had a hand
in depriying the Colonel of the Re-
publican nomination in 1912. Per
kins says he has not heard from the
Colonel since the latter went to the
West Indies. nor has he tried to COM
munieate with the Colonel, but he
seems quite confident everything that
has been said by the Progressive lead
ers recently as to the unsatisfactory
character of the Republican state con.
vention; its 'reactionary" develop
ments, and so on. meets with Colonel
Roosevelt's absolute agreement.

Famine in Dyestuffs Is Becoming
Acute Everywhere
DOMESTIC SUPPLY oNE-HAlF
National Association Of Clothlers
Makes an Appeal for Adoption
Of Modest Shades.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Clothing
manufacturers OF the United States
are 50 short of dyestuffs that ma
tionwide appeal is to be made to the
public to recognize the fact that it
must content itself with the simplest
colors in apparel. This was announc-
ed today at the Department of Com
merce after a conference between de-
partment officials and officers of the
National Association Of Clothiers.
'Tn spite Of the fact that domestic
manufacturers of dyestuffs are now
producing more dyestuff materials
than ever before, and their output is
growing, the production is scarcely
sufficient as yet to meet more than
one-half the demand the depart
ment's statement said, 'and the
variety of colors now produced by the
domestic manufacturer is limited.
1T should be recognized for the
present that the grades of colors
which heretofore have existed univer-
sally and have been demanded by the
consuming public in the United States
cannot now always be obtained, and
that in spite OF every effort manufac-
turers Of clothing and textiles are un-
able to supply the same quality OF
material which they furnished prior
to the European war"

STICK TO YOUR HOME MERCHANTS
The Banner to Publish Copyrighted Articles Against
Mail Order Buying

The Banner believes in sticking to
home merchants and in view of this
fact it proposes to wage a vigorous
educational campaign against mail or.
der houses upon the grounds that
mail order houses do nothing to main
tain our schools, our churches, good
roads or help the sick, the needy, and
a hundred and one other things that
home merchants have to bear.
The habit (because it is a habit,
pure and simple) of buying of mail or.
der houses is formed on the theory
that one can buy for less money. The
idea is as erroneous as Aesop's
fables. One may buy few things
cheaper of mail order houses than he
can buy at home, but they are few,
and it is well-known fact that quail
ty is not really expected from the far.
