oUAKERs AND SLACKERs

The Quakers do not belive in war.
Neither do they believe in slackers.
In New York and Vermont they have
formally announced that they do not
want young men of military age to
apply for membership in their church
until after the war. Those who al
ready are members want to do their
share toward the war in the fields
and in Red Cross work rather than by
carrying arms. They object to be-
ing used as an excuse for Sinking
duty.
The Quakers are not forming So
cieties to hinder registration and are
doing nothing to try to make con-
scription failure. Stacking has no
more place now in the Quaker creed
than it had in the middle of the Sew
enteenth Century, when Fox and his
followers were faithful to their cause
despite prison, lash and moose

IN THE LIME LIGHT
Deputy Sheriff Dick Cornelsen Cap
lures a Crafty Stranger

Yesterday noon when the mail
came in from Liberal young man
got off the car and made his way to
the hardware store where he pur-
chased box of cartridges for a re-
volver. Mrs. ]. H. Gum, landlady of
the hotel became suspicious of his ac-
tons and notified constable. The
stranger had prominent moustache,
in fact so prominent that any one
could see that it was false one. He
gave his name as Larkins and hired
Gus Bryan and Dolph Kuykendall to
take him to mis- brothers near Bal
ko. They first went to house north
of Boyd where he persuaded a II
year old girl named Maltbie to ac-
company him. The boys then drove
to his brothers where they left him
and the girl. While on the road Lar
kin removed his moustache. Shortly
after. the car left the house north of
Boyd Postmaster Carr telephoned
here to Deputy Sheriff Dick H. Cor
nelson alleging that Larkin had car
ried off the girl. Dick got busy and
in less than an hour after receiving
the message he had arrested the cou-
pie. The man had on a revolver and
tin star, claiming to be detective.
They were taken to Beaver City
where the man was lodged in Jail, and
the girl taken to the home of the jail
or, where she is being cared for,
pending settlement Of the case by
the court.-Beaver County Republi-

Mr.. Tatum states that they were
assured by the commissioners that as
soon as he began work on his end of
this road that the work of connect
ing this line with Liberal, this would
give us one of the best roads in the
county, as well as an excellent high
way from here to Liberal.
We are also assured that just as
soon as we can get little moisture
in the ground that they were going
to commence work on this road, and
that he expects to have his part of
the agreement complied with in the
near future. Now if Liberal will
