ROOSEVELT SAYS
HE is CANDIDATE

Washington, D. c., April 7. The an.
nouncement from Oyster Bay that Col
Roosevelt will be a candidate under
certain conditions was received with
mixed emotions in the capital today.
Republicans as a rule took it as mat.
ter Of course and as something not al,
together unexpected. Democrats, on
the other hand tried hard to appear
joyful, but secretly confessed fears.
One of the first results of the an
nouncement was the springing of r,1-
mors that all the favorite son candl.
dates would get out of the way for
either Roosevelt or Hughes.

REPORT OF BATTLE.

Gen. Pershing's Camp at San Geron-
imo Ranch, Mexico, April By aero
plane and motor truck to Columbus,
N. NJ, April News of the second
Villa defeat which reached here late
today was taken as sharp moral de-
feat for the Villa forces because the
American cavalrymen had outwitted
them at their own game, that of slip
ping unseen through mountain passes.
. The losses of the Villa force, given
as thirty or more dead and forty
horses captured in the .Aguas Calientes
fight, were not considered of as much
significance as the manner in which
the coup was executed.

the aviation station here for expert
mental use in connection with aerial
and water maneuvers by the navy,
broke away from its moorings in a
high wind early today and rising rap
idly, soon was lost to view. Telephone
notices were sent to Mobile and other
points to the westward, warning the
residents to be on the lookout for the
big craft No one was aboard but the
dirigible was fully inflated and naval
officers said there was nothing to pre-
vent it's remaining aloft for many
hours
The wind was blowing briskly from
the southeast when the dirigible slip
ped Its moorings, shot quickly to the
upper currents and was quickly swept
away toward the west. A later shift
in air currents made naval officers
fear the dirigible may have been
carried to sea.
The airship is said to be worth be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 and is prac-
tically new. 1t was received here only
a few days ago. How it happened to
break away has not been determined.

Third .eatnln w. $3.50


Particularly sa .'as the death
of Floyd, age i, Years, son of
Mr.. Barker Thompson, which
occurred at the st. Joseph hos
pital at Ashland last Saturday
evening as this is the third death
to have occurred in the family in
the space Of little more than two
weeks time. Mrs. Thompson
was the first to answer the death
call, and she was followed a
week later by a daughter Hazel,
age Ii years, who passed away
last Friday.
Floyd has been i'll for about
four weeks with pleurisy and a
complication of other ailments
and the day following his moth
er's death he was taken to the
hospital at Ashland. For a time
it looked as if he might be able
to pull through but the latter
part Of last week he took a sud-
den turn for the worse and death
came on Saturday evening at
about seven o'clock.
The remains were brought to
this city Sunday morning and
were prepared for burial at the
undertaking rooms of Amos M.
Hansen. The funeral was held
from the late family residence
on west 4th street Tuesday
afternoon, the funeral sermon
being preached by Rev. Chr.
Christensen, pastor of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church. Inter
ment was in the Woodland ceme-
terry beside the remains of his
mother and sister and there are
now three newly made graves at
the cemetery representing the
great affection which this family
has had to bear during the past
two weeks.
Floyd was a bright young man
whose future in life was par
ticularly bright. He was good
boy, beloved by all those who
knew him and his early depar-
ture from this life is indeed sad.
The Thompson family are al
most overcome by the great be-
reavement which has befallen
them and the sympathy of
the community goes out to them
in their great sorrow.

The IJncoIiared Neck.

The sport shirt-thus they denom-
mate the decollete affair which adj
vanced dressers are displaying this
summers a distinct step toward the
emancipation of the masculine neck.
AS in other kinds of war it is the
youth of the land which is bearing
the first shock of the battle. The
more cOnservative-or, as you might
say, cowardly--elders of the species
are watching, nonoommittally but
hopefully.
1t is not, however, time to remain
neutral. Already insidious influences
are at work to nip the campaign
for freedom in the bud. Jeers, japes
and jests are beginning tC make them
selves heard, and the sex must be
warned against them. They are in
spired by the laundrymen and the
owners of scraggy necks. Don't lis
ten to them! Let every man who
calls hil1self q man take a firm stand
in favor of the free, uncollared neck.
