IS PROPOSED
WAXAHACHIE NATIONAL BANK
PURCHASES BUSINESS HOUSE
ADJOINING THE BANK.
MODERN BANKING HOUSE
Purpose In Buying Property Is to
Procure building Site For
Modern Banking House
and Office building.

A deal was closed today by the
Waxanachie National bank whereby
that popular banking house pur-
ohases the Williams building adjoin-
ing their banking house. The con-
sideration in the deal is $4,000.
The Williams building has been oc-
cupied by n W. Pierce with barb
er shop and tailor shop for some
time, but these were recently des-
troyed by fire. The building. how
ever. was not damaged to any great
extent.
An ever increasing business has
caused the directorate of the WaNa-
haehie National bank TO cast about
for means for enlarging their quart
ers in order to better facilitate the
handling of 4 rapidly growing bnsi-
ness. Last year the matter OF I'M
ssalling new fixtures was consider
ed, but it was decided the present
quarters were not large enough for
the kind of banking house needed
so the matter OF new fixtures was
put off until some arrangement;
could be obtained.
While no plans have We: been an
nouneed it is understood that the
directors of the bank have in MIND
| the erection OF new and moderr
fire-proof banking house and offies
building over the lots where tht
two buildings now stand, Whef
tLis building is erected 1t is Yer!
| probable that Ii will be of such size
and proportions as to comfortable
house this banking institution 70
years as we'll as take care of man,
professional people in the way o
offices. The directors have in min'
4 small sky-scraper. as ii were, VIII
modern elevator equipment whiel
4 viii give comfortable offices higl
above the distractions, yet conveni
ent and accessible by reason o
constant elevator service. Such
! building as they have in mind wi
be an ornament To the town.

.CEYLON, MINI. NO
Longer BOOZE OASIS

Estherville, Sept. 25.-The pub
lie safety commission of Minnesota
handed down a decision last week,
which does away completely with the
booze cars that have been infesting
Iowa for many moons. Their deci-
sion was that all liquor sold in the
saloon must be drank over the bar.
The saloons are put on banking
hours, opening at O'Clock in the
morning and closing at 5 in the af-
ternoon. Nothing can be sold that
goes out of the saloon, and 1t is q
certainty that the saloons are going
to obey the law in the matter, as to
be caught means out of business. 1t
is a good ruling and will, no doubt,
make great difference on the Iowa
roads. The ruling went into effect
last Monday morning. Following is
what the Martin County Sentinel has
to say of the matter:
Martin and Pipestone county sa-
looms. no longer will sell liquor that
is to be taken into dry territory or
anywhere else.
The Minnesota Commission of
Public Safety last Thursday ordered
that no liquor shall be- sold to be
taken from the saloons in which it
is purchased. The saloon hours were
cut and will be from 9 a. m. until
p. m.
The official order of the war
board follows:
First. The sale or the keeping for
sale of intoxicating liquor in the
counties of Martin and Pipestone be
and the same hereby is prohibited
except when made at retail between
the hours of o'clock in the fore
noon and o'clock in the afternoon
in licensed saloons to be drunk up
on the premises.
Second. No licensed saloon in the
counties aforesaid shall sell intoxi-
eating liquors to be taken from the
premises where sold nor permit such
removal therefrom.
Third. The violation of any of

was poured into the crowds.
Here was all the wild talk had
ever heard among the anarchists of
London, New York and Chicago come
true, translated into massacre. I
was seeing bolsheviks at their best;
they were showing us.-all they had;
all the theories they had slowed
away in their black minds through
the times of peace; all the beliefs
they had cultivated in their confer
ences around coffee tables or beer
stems; all that they had gained
from the wild and sometimes contra
band books that.nnarchists write and
read-all these things were being
spoken now by these guns that were
killing Outstanding folk in the street.
The brotherly love, that anarchists
say will one day rule the world, if
anarchism prevails, was totally lack
ing.
These bolsheviks of Russia-and
they INCLUDE the bolsheviks of other
countries have strange beliefs.
They want the war to end because,
they say, the war is interfering with
the brotherhood of man. That is
just the sort of doctrine the Germans
want to have preached just now
through the earth. The Germans,
who seem to exist in great but sub
tie strength in Russia, have used the
bolsheviks to such an extent that it
is impossible, in Petrograd these
days, to distinguish between boil
shevik and a German.

THE RUSSIAN BIOL
SHEv|k IN ACTION

Petrograd, Aug. 30.-Letter to
Freeman-Tribune from w. G. Shep-
herd: VIVA. is bolshevik? AS a
general thing he is an unmarried
man, with no home of his own, no
responsibilities to children or fam
lily. He has no personal affairs of
his own to look out for, wherefore
he sets out to regulate the world.
In any of the good sized towns
of the United States you can see boil
sheyiks. They usually have flowing
ties, wear their hair long, do not
shave overmuch, and spend their
time showing how wrong things are
in the world. A woman bolshevik
hobs her hair, if she touches it at
all.
1 have seen them in studies in
Washington square and in base
ments in London. l have always
considered it a thrilling thing to
know an anarchist of the bolshevik
type; they are generally considered
picturesque, even if they are smelly.
But, lying on the pavements Of
the Letenie the other day, with boil
shevik machine guns pouring rain
of bullets down the canon of the
buildings, killing and wounding
helpless men, women and children,
my former opinions as to the boil
shevik was abruptly changed. Opin-
ions of bolsheviks are picturesque,
when they are only opinions. When
they are translated into deeds, they
are deadly.
There were women bolsheviks in
that massacre on the Letenie. The
last thing saw before / threw my
self to the sidewalk was a bob
haired woman, standing in an auto
mobile, beside machine gun which
rested its muzzle on the folded top.
1t was leading the parade of Kron-
stad sailors who, fully armed, were
marching toward the duma building.
She stood erect like a goddess Of
madness, with a wild light in her
eyes. Half a mile down the street,
even as / was looking at her, l heard
three shots. They were the signal
for the massacre.
The shots ran up along the line
Of the parade, like fire along fuse.

she had stood, . drum fire OF death
