AN AMERICAN OFFICER
FLEES FROM SMALLPOX


AT THE FRONT IN MEXICO,
General Perishing's camp. April 3,
by aeroplane to Columbus, N. NJ,
April 6-An officer here tells how
he retreated from house where he
believed he was about to discover a
Villa bandit. 1t was during the
search of a mountain district, where
there was suspicion that Villa
might be concealed until his wounds
healed.
Many houses were under search
when this officer saw what he took
to be wounded man lying in bed
in a room. He swung open the door.
pistol in hand and hurried across the
room.
The man in bed in the very poor
light looked more than ever like a
wounded bandit. The officer started
to turn down the blanket covering
the Mexican but at one look he fed.
He had discovered case of small
pox.

NEW STEP TAKEN
TO ENFORCE LAW
Raiding Officers of Speakers.
les Will Hereafter Place
Witnesses under Bond.

WHEELING. April 6.-Yost law
enforcement having settled down to
a battle OF wits between the speak
easy proprietors and prohibition off,
GERS, so far as this city is concerned.
Deputy Commissioner Bert Philips
and Attorney Earhart OF the Anti
Saloon League have hit upon device
which they are confident will break
UP the Illicit liquor traffic in Wheel
ing.
Heretofore they have arrested only
the proprietors and confiscated con-
traband found on the premises. The
raiding officers have taken the names
of persons found in the speakeasies,
but deputy sheriffs have been unable
to find them to serve subpoenas as wit
nesses before the grand juries. AS a
result, out OF 100 presentments before
bills have been returned.
The men indicted have been for
eigners and negroes. Proprictors Of
the swell joints" have escaped. Out
of 1000 raids made since the state
went dry" only two of Ohio county's
225 speakeasy proprietors have suf-
fered the penalties prescribed by the
Yost law, one on plea Of guilty, the
other on conviction in the criminal
court.
Under the rule recently adopted by
the Yost law authorities the witness
es will be placed under $500 bond
each to assure their appearance be-
fore the grand jury. Some of the
city's prominent business men and
politicians have been found drinking
In speakeasies when officers raided
them, and have been taken in a pa
troll wagon to the county jail. The
list embraces one city councilman and
a leading candidate for member OF
the county court.
Deputy Commissioner Philips ex-
presses the conviction that the grand
jury cannot refuse to indict upon the
testimony of such witnesses as he will
produce. and he believes the new dan
ger will keep men away from the
speakeasies and cause them TO go to
Bridgeport, o., for their wet goods.

ZEPPELIN FAILS
In the Fifth Raid in Six Days
through Effectiveness of
Anti-Aircraft Defense.

LONDON, April 6.-The Increasing
effectiveness of Englands anti-alrcraft
defenses was demonstrated last night
when the single Zeppelin which UNDER
took the fifth raid In six days was pre-.
vented from penetrating the northeast
coast and was forced to flee after the
briefest visit of the kind yet made.
The night was clear and without
wind. Searchlights discovered the
raider coming over the sea and never
once lost him during his stay. AS he
reached the coast he was flying COM
paratively low and the smallest guns
found him such an easy target that he
was forced to rise to great height.
Tho larger guns then found the range
and aided by the searchlights they
surrounded the Zeppelin with terrific
hail OF shrapnel and high explosive
shells. After maneuvering near a
northeast coast town for about ten
minutes. the raider was seen to turn
and to sail homeward. y

Of course>,when we consider raw products we
must carry the subject further on into the
matter Of the prices get and the prices
we must pay for finished products. We shall
confne our consideration, too. TO those products
which have their origin the farm either in
the raw state or finished and manufactured
into edible wearable articles.
Let us take wheat. for example. We all
know that the war has put the price of wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country: city, town and rural population
as well are paying more for their four-there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which 1t costs him
no more TO raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money
But wait minute-there are other things
to consider in this matter Of growing rich of
OF the war Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too.
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product, he Is also paying
some other agricuturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat on the profits the
war Is bringing to the farmer. Then it would
seem that the best way to keep ahead Of the
game is for the farmer to pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the increased prices that
the war has brought about and when buying

know. sugar has gone way up-so every glass
of CocaCola you drink makes some farmers
heart gladder.
So 1t is with the pure fruit juices that
combined, produce the inimitable flavor Of
Coca-Cola. Not SO much in quantity seemingly
when you consider single glass OF this
delicious beverage. but enormous when the en-

Yet this product of nature-of the farm
increased in cost though 1t has been to the
makers, has not been raised one penny in
price to dealer-or to you. The price at the

one iota.
