 If, however. our frank and honest offers of peace meet no response, we would declare revolutionary war against German imperialism, we would mobil all our forces, confiscate large food supplies and prosecute the war as energetcally as we did the revolution.
 But we have every ground to think that our offer of peace will make impossible a continua tion of the war on all fronts. What Is the country's attitude to- ward the governmental changer"

 Twenty-seven women were named in the writ, but counsel for the govern ment contended that Miss Lucy Burns vice chairman of the woman's party, Mrs. Lawrence Lewis of Philadelphia and Miss Hattie Kruger of Buffalo were too i'll to appear. The mlitants de- manded that they be produced as ma teria1 witnesses and the court promise1 to have them present if their testi- mony was found necessary.
 HUNGER STRIKE ENDS
 The hunger strike carried on by 73 of the women prisoners was broken last night when doctors at the institution told them, they said, that they would not be allowed to appear in court un- less they took some nourishment. They appeared in a very weakened condition today. Miss Burns and Mrs Lewis have been undergoing forcible feeding since early in the week

PROSECUTION RESTS

"The Box" near Westbury, L. |, on the night of the tragedy.
 PROSECUTION RESTS
 After examination of several wit nesses today the prosecution rested it's case shortly after the noon hour with the reading into the record of two letters exchanged by De Saulles and the defendant purporting to show that the child was legally in the custody of his father when the latter was shot. Among those who testified were Mar shall A. Ward, self styled intimate friend of John l.. De Saulles; Mrs Caroline Degerner De Saulles' sister and his father, Maj. ArthuE B. De Saulles, all of whom were at 3The Box" when the shooting took place.
 CONTRADICTORY TESTIMONY
 Their accounts were contradictory regarding Mrs. De Saulles' first re- marks when she entered the home just before De Saulles was shot. The prose cution sought to show these remarks indicated she went to the place seek ing her former husband This, if estab- liShed, would serve to cOrrODOrate the states claim of deliberate and premedi- tated murder.
 The defense, on the other hand, at tempted to prove that Mrs. De Saulles said when she entered the residence, Where's Jack? I have come to take him home with me-
 OFFICERS TESTIFY
 Sheriff Phineas Seaman and Consta ble Leonard Thorne both testified that Mrs. De Saulles was "very pale" when they took her in custody. Despite the circumstances the young woman was calm, Unusually calm.' the sheriff said. when she was arrested.
 On cross examination Seaman de- clared Mrs. De Saulles gave "a peculiar little laugh" every few moments while being taken from the justices court to the jail Her actions so alarmed him, he said, that he "sent for clothes line"
 Isn't this the zoo?" the sheriff said Mrs. De Saulles asked as she entered the jail.
 After examining the prisoner next morning, Seaman said, the jail physi- elan, Dr. J. L. Cleghorn, sent him note saying it would be "unwise" to confine Mrs. De Saulles to a cell be- cause of her extreme nervousness and mental condition

was one of those grand souls who

shall make you free" The school

efficient work. The community
will never cease to wonder why or
how such a terrible thing could
have happened. Will we learn

This beautiful morning it seems to
be my painful duty to give a state
ment of the facts surrounding the
tragic death of our friend and COM
rade Nat Stimson. Nathaniel Slim
son was born near Lakin, Kansas,
December l9, 1887, and came to this
vicinity when IL years of age. For
almost three years he has lived
alone on homestead on Plum

He was last seen on Monday eve,
August 18th. There had been a
heavy rain up the creek and flood

horses on an island short distance
from home.
The water had somewhat receded.
it was again threatening rain. Nat
and neighboring boy, who had
been helping him went and tried
to get the horses, finding the water
too deep to wade, they turned
back, the boy going home. Later
it is supposed that Nat went for his
horses, another flood come higher
than the first and must have
caught him.
Nat had contemplated few days
visit home to Amity. His nearest
neighbor Mrs. Stevens thought he
had really gone home, Telephones
were all out of commission, fences
all down everyone was busy. On
Sunday morning Mats mother,
brother and sisters started early
from Amity, come down to Jimmie
Cline's got Mrs. Cline and Ada, took
their lunch and proceeded up to
see Nat, intending to take him home
with them. When they came to
his place they found fences all
down along the creek and stock on
his crop. Hastily they went to the
house finding no trace, they went
to the school house where SUNDAY
School was in session to make in.

Price of Food Stuffs.

The writer recently came across
a bill of goods bought of klinck
and Wickenburg, in Charleston, in
1853 To compare prices then and
now may be interesting. The price
of the following articles will indi-
cate the price Of goods then in
general:
Java coffee 20 cts; starch 10, ba-
con II; hams Is; flour 7.25; rice
4 cts; lard IA; sugar II; tea LOO;
vinegar so cts; grits ETC., in pro-
portion. Since that time the
prices have been like the the tides
of the sea-going and coming. Now
it is about spring tide, and if it
keeps rising we'll be submerged.
But we ought not to be alarmed;
for we do not think that prices will
rise because, unless the unexpected
takes place, with all the Neutral
Countries cut off there is no place
to ship our stuff except England
aud France-both Of which are
self-supporting as ourselves, with
the exception of Cotton which alone
is raised here and in Egypt and
parts of South America. We can
not ship cotton to Neutral Coun-
tries. Therefore with the demand,
by Neutrals and the enemies, cut
off | do not assert but ask the ques.
tion-how can cotton go any high
er or much higher?
Now use your own head-not
mine-but do not forget to use it
before you hold too long or buy too
quick. 1t may be very pleasant to
have Utopian dreams about high
prices for cotton, but if we read
the standard literature of the world
and figure just little our dreams
may become unreal. believe that
wool will be very high in this coun-
try and a substitute, with asbestos
and other products, for some cot
ton goods. 1 am giving no advice,
because, while it is patriotic and
dangerous too, nevertheless, it is an
article people get nothing for even
if 1t fills the other mans pocket
with wealth-who took the advice.
So use your own head-but use it!
E. G. Bailey.
