Criticism of President Wilson for pro
riding wine :; banqucts at the White
House is expressed in resolution sub
mittcd to the general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church today by
Rev James W. Anderson of Oregon,
Missouri The resolution was referred
to the committee on temperance. Al
though the resolution was offered by
Dr. Anderson as an individual the en-
tire Missouri delegation supports the
follows
Whereas it has been reported
through the public press that our Pres
ident, the Hon Woodrow Wilson, has
restored the use of intoxicating Ii
quors at state occasions at the White
House functions, therefore
''Be it resolved, by the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church that we hereby express to the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, our keen disappointment
and regret for said action, especially
at time when the rules of other ma
tions have taken such an advanced pos
ition in reference to Intoxicating Ii
quors and such widespread sentiment is
stinence from all alcoholic beverages.
and we, the delegates, representatives
OF more than four million members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church do
hereby appeal to the President as
Christian gentleman to abolish the wine
cup from all functions over which he
has control, thereby setting a worthy
example and keeping pace with the for
ward movement and the Christian sen
timent of the day.
And, furthermore as the iquo,
beverage traffic has a National organ
ization and pays government revenue
so that for these and other reasons it
is a National issue, we urge him most
earnestly to give his endorsement ana
his support to pending measure looking
toward National prohibition of the Ii
quor beverage traffic.

Wells, Parasols and Collars.
AT the beginning of the season there
were any number of novel effects in
vellings, but with the advance of the
season the call for veilings for street
and general use, aside from motoring,
dwind1es usually to the face veil, of al
most invisible mesh, intended merely
to keep the hair i'll place. The trick
OF arranging the veil over the hair, un-
der the hat, is practical and clever, es-
pecially with the larger hats. The hat
may be readily removed and the veil
remain, keeping the hair smoothly and
neatly in place.

Obituary.
MRS. PAUL STARKE.

While sitting at the supper table at
her home on Lawton street Tuesday
evening, without scarcely any Fremont
tory symptoms, Mrs. Paul Starke was
suddenly stricken with heart trouble
and died soon after. The shock OF so
sudden a call has made deep impress
sion upon many friends in this city.
Elizabeth Rucks, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Rucks, was born in AL
bion in 1896. Her marriage to Paul
Starke took place at GAINESVILLE four
years ago. Later the family removed
to this city where Mr.. Starke is en-
ployed as gardner for B. c. Wilson,
who with four months old infant, her
parents, two brothers, Ernest and M ar
tin Rucks, and a sister, Mrs. William
Stricken, survive to mourn their loss.
The deceased was member of the
German Lutheran church and the ladies
society in connection.
Funeral services will be held from
st. Johns Lutheran church at 2 O. CLOCK

Newspapers Must Increase Prices.

After a thorough investigation and
canvass of the newspaper situation the
department of journalism of the Kan
sas university has issued the following
bulletin:
'sThe newspapers of the United
States today face situation unparal-
leled in the history of the press of this
country. The public has felt the effect
of the European war in purchasing
commodities, and it is about to feel its
effect upon the price of newspapers.
1t is now up to the newspapers to tell
their readers and advertisers why an
increase in price is necessary. In other
words, the press faces an educational
campaign for its own salvation.
"When the average man purchases
a staple article today and finds the
price has increased from 25 to so per
cent, he already knows or is told that
the war has brought about such con-
dition. The manufacturer of that ar
ticle has already perhaps advertised
the fact that ne is compelled to in
crease his prices. No industry is more
seriously affected by the war than the
newspapers of this country, and yet an
increase in advertising or circulation
rates is Immediately froWned upon be-
cause the newspapers have failed to in
form the pnblic TO what great extent
they are affected by the war
1.-The newspapers of this country will
be compelled to do what the big manu-
facturers have already done-raise their
rates III proportion to the increased
cost of production.
