filed by r. A. Wilkes against members
of the county court for receiving funds
for the county, he has today filed with
the joint investigation committee Q
new charge to the effect that hogs
have been sold by the superintendent
| of the work house and instead OF pay
| ing the proceeds therefor into the
county treasury the same has been
used for the purchase of mules from
justices of the peace.
This charge is embraced in the fol
lowing count of communication fled
with the committees:
"In this connection, / wish to state
that | am reliably informed that some
Of the proceeds of the sales of hogs,
fed at the work house, have not been
paidinto the county treasury, but have
been used by the superintendent OF
the work house and the highway com
missioners, in the purchase of mules
from some of the justices Of the peace.
You can ascertain the true facts as to
these from the minutes of the highway
commissioners, the superintendent OF
the work house and the county Judge.
Il have directed my counsel before
to direct your attention to such infor-
nation as he might elicit from the
witnesses or discover from the papers
on file as would either satisfactorily
explain these expenditures or lead to
a recovery of their amounts from the
proper parties"
The argument in the case against
Clay E. Hight, alleged to have hired
his teams to the county, was COM
menced at 10 o'clock before the full
committee. Thos. H. PEBBLES COM
menced the argument for the prosecu-
ton. He first reviewed the history Of
the proceedings which eliminated In
the filing of the charges. He then
entered upon a discussion of the proof
in this case. He said that 1t wa sabso-
lutely plain from the facts that Mr..
Hight was guilty of the charges made;
that according to their statements, his
fellow commissioners connived at the
violation Of the law. Mr.. PEBBLES
made very forceful argument. He

and urged him to start these proceed-
ings, but that he told them that it
was useless, that Mr.. Rights term
expired in January, but that when he
was reelected they at once made these
charges to stop the reckless expendi-
ture of the county's money. He said
that the money was being spent and
no work was being done on the roads
and it was their intention to find out
where this money was going.

nOunceS War and Militarism In
Address at Moline Theatre.

Under the title, Think; or Surren-
der" George R. kirkpatrick Of New
York, at the Barrymore theatre, Mo-
line, last evening discussed the sub
ject of war and militarism, with spe-
cial reference to the present war in
Europe and to the now much-promoted
policy and argument of preparedness.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is a special student OF
war and militarism. He has been lee
turing on this theme for several ye3rs
and has written a book called War
What For?'
Mr. Kirkpatrick believes that this
country is at the parting of the ways
in its historical evolution-that a gen.
uine crisis confronts US in the matter
Of militarism; that our civilization is
already beginning to swiftly change
right before our eyes-the rude and
cruel beast of war and militarism is
being so cunningly and powerfully
promoted that within half dozen
wears the American people will wake
TO find themselves utterly committed
to the very policy that has resulted IN
the present blood-dripping collapse in
Europe.

MILADY DICTATES
AUTO SEAT STYLE
Fox TrOt Makes Her Slender, so Car
Makers Narrow Sitting
Spaces.

Woman having foX-trotted and cor
seted herself into more slender, grace
full lines, automobile builders have
narrowed their car seats by means of
extra upholstering to fit her needs.
Extra tufts of upholstering along
the side of the rear seat, narrowing
the actual sitting space from two to
four inches, was noticed on number
of cars at the National automobile
show in Chicago.
There was always one explanation:
When seats are too wide they are
uncomfortable to ride in; the idea is
to make them just fit roomily but com
fortably.
why are people narrower was
asked. The replies:
T. E. Girard, Apperson-Well, eX-

don't know why, but they are. The
rear seats, you know, are designed
with women in view, since they are
the bulk of rear seat passengers. They
have left off flesh and we are putting
on upholstering to make up for 1t.

of right living. A well-told story at the

OF many boy or girls life.
One of the most serious problems
the mother must solve is that of pur-
ity The greatest weapons of evil are
secrecy and deceit; the most power
ful armament of good, truth and open
dealing. The first temptation is whis-
pered secretly in the ear of innocent
childhood.
The child mind is hungry to know,
and in all matters germane to its de-
velopment it has right to know. The
child armed in innocence which is
not ignorance, the child whose natu-
raj curiosity on the so-called myster-
les Of life is satisfied, fully and to the
point, as far as he can understand, is
the child who relegates all such SUBJ

Dangers of Youth.
There are subtle dangers in the
pathway of our youth of today, dam
gers that have crept upon us unaware
The love of music is one of the
strongest instincts of humanity. What
OF the music of our youth of today, the
popular song, the vaudeville air; do
you mothers know the words of the
songs our young people are singing
today? Take down a pile from the
cabinet and what will you find? Sug-

Remembers, that managers put on
the reels that draw; publishers put
out the songs that sell. Do not put the
blame upon them, for if your young
people are allowed to attend only the
wholesome picture shows, and to buy
only pure songs, the others will dis
appear.
Remember, that the tragedies of
ill-trained childhood are boomerangs;
