even the converts have not been sa

Money, jewels, and treasures have
they taken, and they have left the
land bare behind them as the rice
fields of the South when the flight OF
the langostas has passed.
Il ask that this loot be returned to
me to be returned to the men who
owned it. That mule yonder is loaded
with the treasure that they have sto-
len for the purpose of using it to buy
arms and ammunition to help their
tottering cause"
He pointed to the pack mule as he
spoke, and Kynaston saw that the
aparejo fairly bulged with ill-concealed
packages that showed plainly as the
animal swayed to and fro, rubbing it's
sides against tree.
Sorry old fellow, but l can't help
you there, either" he said pleasantly.
Il can't rob Peter to pay Paul-more

l am morally sure that Paul is about
ten degrees worse than Peter.
Gather up the outfit, corporal, and
take their arms and ammunition. Take
the bolts out of their rifles and stow

and get back to our camp after moon

So they got their supper cooked by
greasewood fires, and, after letting
their horses rest couple of hours,
set out on the back trail. The little
party Of escaped federals was under
careful guard, for Kynaston well knew
that, given the chance, they would
give him the slip and scatter on Amer
ican soil.
They would not dare to escape di-
rect to Mexico again, for there they
would be shot on sight; but in the
United States almost any Mexican in
habitant whose sympathies lay with
Carranza would give them shelter and
food till the chance should come to
smuggle them back to the federal
forces.

Now, come come, friend, isn't

Corporal Welsh rounded them up

Masking the Guns.

Against aircraft observation one OF
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns, limbers, and amnsdnition wag,
ons with different neutral tints, so that
they will blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, ETC.. that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches, and the earth dis.
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen-eyed airmen.
A battery of guns is seldom placed
along the skyline, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in.
cline in front Of the skyline, unless the
guns are howitzers, in which case they
can be best served from behind the
ridge. The idea of placing the guns
In front of the ridge is that the rising
ground behind them serves as an ef-
fective screen, as the guns themselves
are painted to represent earth and TO-

Der of as good dry men as were ever
nominees in the republican party.
Now will Mr.. Mertdith please tell us
of any time he ever came out on the
stump and talked prohibition and
has ever voted for a dry nominee in
the republican party?
If Mr.. Meredith will prove to the
voters of this state that he has ever
voted at any time else but the demo-
cratic ticket on state and national
issues, they have always been wet.
why, he surely ought to get all the
dry votes in Croker township.
While l am a Methodist and

to talk politics on the street as the

WHO is THE WET?

Some of our readers in this cam
paign may try to obscure the real
facts by declaring Harding wet and
Meredith dry. Meredith on his own
admission uses champagne and has
served it on his table. Harding does
not drink. There is not single min
lister who clans he is supporting
Meredith but who would perfer his
son at a banquet where wines are
served to initiate Mr. Harding instead
of Mr.. Meredith. Meredith belongs to
the tin horn prohibitionists. men who
talk prohibition but do not practice it.
The es-Republican says it is not
necessary to practice prohibition to be
a prohibtionist. On the same theory
1t is not necessary to practice chris
tianity to be christian nor practice
sobriety to be sober. But to our mind
there is no more contemplate men
then those who would deprive others
of certain privileges if they can enjoy
them themselves.
Mr.. Meredith's claim to being a
prohibitionist is apparently political
one. The Bible presents a strong con-
demnation of the man who puts the
cup to his neighbours lips, and yet Mr..
Meredith's banqueting table has been
set with champagne. Still he says he
is a prohibitionist.
God save the race and the ministry
from that kind of prohibitionists.
The man who serves champagne on
his table is doing more harm to pro-
hibition than any other influence.
A sober man is an example of So
briefly. A man who serves drinks on
his own table is not an example of
sobriety. Mr. Meredith's philosophy
il carried to it's ultimate conclusion,
would permit the silk stocking aris-
tocrat to have his champagne while
denying to the German born immi-
grant the right to his beer Christ
denounced just that kind of men, and
you know what he called them.
The Times Republican claims that
it is opposing Mr.. Harding because
it says he is .'wet." And yet six years
ago under the same ownership it op-
posed Governor Carroll who always
voted dry in the legislature and sup
ported Garst, whose record was wet.
The Register and Leader did the
same thing, even to the point where
the highly moral editors of the Regis
ter and Leader broke the Sabbath in
an effort to uphold an Official dis

violating his oath of office.-Grinnell
