BRITISH SHIPS ARE WITHDRAWN
FROM USE GENERAL COMMERCE

thority in close touch with shipping
said, Il anticipate that in substance
1t means the entire resources of
Great Britain's merchant marine will
be brought under one general execu-
tive head and that one executive will
direct its movement and its utilities.
Cargoes will be jointly apportioned
among the various lines and every
ship flying the flag of Great Britain
must do its part or the government
will take 1t over. The people of
England and her armies must be
supplied with actual necessities and
the government will see to it through
such control of cargo that no one
class of people will get what all
cannot thereby reducing to a
great extent the cost of living"
No serious consideration appears
to be given to the suggestion that
British ships will be more heavily
armed than the defense guns astern
already approved by the United
States in connection with their status
as merchantmen.

TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
He Admits He Can't Grasp His WIfs's
Ideas Of Economy.

Ideas Of Economy.
II can understand" remarked the
office philosopher to the visitor to his
sanctum, most of the feminine traits
and characteristics that puzzle the or.
binary man, but when woman be-
gins to practice economy she leaves
me dashed to the mast and quivering
with helpless establishment.
"Of course. the whole sex is eco
nomical. You have to admit that, be-
cause every woman says she Is eco
nomical. and no gentleman would I'M
dertake to dispute lady's statement
at least. no gentleman Of my acquaint
ance would undertake to dispute 1t in
his own house. What-to use a vul-
garism-gets my goat is the method
they employ.
Take my wife, for example. When
ever she tells me she is going to econo-
mize emit single agonized shrek,
and then leap for the tall timber. Her
plan Is to think up a whole lot of
things she cannot possibly do without,
and then do without them. BY this
device she saves at a single stroke the
| cost Of the entire list Having thus
| accumulated surplus. she naturally
proceeds to spend 1t. and she is al
ways prepared to prove she has saved
much money In the process.
There Is no answer, or no answer
worth making. On occasions Of this
kind 1t is my custom to pass. for, with
out looking at my hand, know car
neither trump nor follow suit."-Rich

under one general head the entire

George that the shipping Of Great
Britain will be "nationalized." accord

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Owing to the fact that was
instructed not to enforce the town
muzzling ordinance several months
ago. and now that rabid coyote has
been killed just at the town limits, I
deem 1t my duty to notify all owners
OF dogs to keep their dogs either
tied at home or kept within fenced
yard until such a time as some
definite action will be taken by the
county commissioners, who are called
to meet on Saturday. December 2s,
1916. During the meantime, should
receive any complaints or have an
occasion to notice any queer actions
OF any dog, it will be killed without
further notice.
