Ashbrook Fails 10 Help Con-

Wortlliast Case Selected, But
Identity OF The Appeal
Board Concealed

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. -
Representative W. A. AahJrook has
given up all hope Of securing eEcmp.
ti0ns for a number Of his constituents
who haze been held to military service
by the district appeal board, and who
are appealing their cases to Washing
ton.
Mr.. Ashbrook picked out the case
that he regarded as worlhiastand went
over 10 see Provost General CrDWder.
10 use his own expression, he "gct no
where" Although me made specific
inquiry he was unable to learn the
names of the members of the board Of
final appeal who are assisting General
Crowdcr, and when he suggested that
he would like to appear before the
board and present the case of this con
stituent he was told that it was against
tine rules for him to do so.
When he was unable to make any
headway with his best case, he throw
up the sponge and did not try to pre-
sent the others. Mr.. Ashbrook came
away from the provost marshal's Office
convinced that nearly everybody will
be held for service and that revcrsals
of the district boards will be exceed
ingly Jew and far between.
II have been unable to learn Of a
single reversal on industrial or occupa-
tlonal grounds" he said.

city engineer and report At the meet
ing Monday night Service Director
Snow reported that he had inspected
the sidewalk in question and found
that it had been laid in accordance
with the established grade"
Wants Walk Changed
IIookway at once declared that a
blind man could see that the walk was
wrong and whether in accordance with
the grade or otherwise il should be
taken up and laid 50 that II was an as
set rather than liability to properties
adjarent to IT, This speesh brought
on an avalanche Of criticism Of walks
and grades IN all parts of the city and
finally terminated in the passage Of IA
motion introduced by Mr. lIookwny to
have the grade in Calhoun street
changed and the walk relaid.

ton, but the most striking example OF
the public willingness TO pay an IN
creased price for better product oc-
Cured last month, when the publishers
of Cosmopolitan, America greatest
Magazine, determined that, instead OF
cutting the quality of the magazine,
they would print an even better maya

Over a million people have been buy

improved February issue. more people
paid 20 cents for Cosmopolitan than
had ever in its history purchased the

FISH GEARLESS CATERPILLER

A number of farmers made & trip to the
Hermione Plantation last Friday to see a
demonstration CT the Fish Gearless Cater
piller Tractor.
While the machine is not yet mechanl-
caiiy complete in its minor details the test
made in blowing on the Hermione property
was entirely successful and impressed those
present with the belief that the tractor will
make revolution as farm adjunct. 1t is
intended to fill the long felt want for a
light machine at reasonable price that will
work in soft soil. The tractor carries with
ease three IA inch plows.
The special features claimed for it is
that it lays its own tract, by simple util-
lization of the caterpillar system; that it
delivers IS per cent of its horse power at
the draw bar-but little power being lost
in self-propulson;- that it has only one
third of the parts found in any other cater
piller; that it is the lightest tractor in the
world delivering 1000 pounds bar pull.
Last but more important, that the machine
can be manufactured at cost around one
thousand dollars to the farmer.
The machine is under the control OF
F. A. Mccormick and A. R. Jones of Chi
cago who promise to form corporation ano
, have the tractor on the market for the com.
! ing season.
, Local planters manifested great interest
, in the implement and look forward to its
advert in the market.

MED relief and on appeal damages to amount
of $4,000 were allowed. The supreme court
in its reversing decision, declared that, &C
cording the civil code, even though it has
been proved that the shooting was not done
wilfully, the parents of the boys accused OF
the shooting must accept responsibility for
the damage done by their children.
The Journal has repeatedly called at
tention to the fact that parents are criml-
naly negligent when they permit small
children to own and handle dangerous fire
arms and good service has been perform
ed by the supreme court when it emphasizes
the liability of parents by decree in which
it mulcted them for such gross carelessness.
1t is unfortunate that we have no stat
utory provision making such parents amen
dabe to criminal prosecution as we'll as re-
sponsible civilly. If the death toll contin-
ues to grow from this cause, no doubt the
next legislature will pass stringent act
covering the evil.

About the only argument that ever was
advanced against prohibition it was res
traint on personal liberty. Now the senators
and representatives in congress have
furnished additional proof that the average
prohibitionist does not care snap for the
rights of others. This is shown by their
advocacy of a bill prohibiting the mails to
newspapers printing liquor adds. The press
has often committed greater crime when
it boosted some of these same ducks for cleo
ton. 1t is hard to say which is the greater
ofense-to advertise good brand of liquor
or poor statesman. We have been guilty
of both crimes.
