Save THE PENNIES
BUY WAR STAMPS, AND THE
DOLLARS WILL DO As
FRANKLIN SAID.

Mail carriers, both city and rural,
are given credits of thrift and war
savings stamps for sale to their pa
irons, Postmaster VIM. Lowe said
this morning. 1t will thus be I'M
necessary for persons to visit the
.postoffice in person to obtain these
small government bonds. They may
be bought at your W door.
Attention is called to the fact that
both forms of security are redeem
able at any time at their face value.
For instance: The savings stamps
this month and in January cost
$4.12. In February they cost $4.13,
and any stamps bought during De
cember and January are redeemable
at Sab in February. Or, a SAP
stamp bought now will be worth and
redeemable at $4.23 in December,
1918. But the greater rate of inter
est is obtained by retaining them un-
til the expiration of their nominal life
of five years when they are worth IS,
Mr.. Lowe offers the suggestion
that this means of saving is n to
be desired by school children. He
more than hints that they would ben
eft more by the ownership of one OF
their filled certificates than by a
whole years experience in picture
houses and the ability to name the
most obscure screen star.

SANTA CLAUS DAY
BIG DAY FOR THE KIDS OF THE
WHOLE COUNTY-LETTERS
TO ST. NICK.

The second Imperial theater San
Ia Claus Day" will be on December
Is, the management announces,
when every kid in the county will be
given the opportunity to see and
hear the children's patron saint,
will be assured a present, and to at
tend a free movie-every one. And
in the meantime, if any of the little
folks of the county have something
they want to say to Santa, that they
don't want other people to hear about
they may write him a letter. Write
in care of the Imperial theater. And
be sure-be very sure-to write
plainly your address on your letter,
or Santa Claus will not know where
to send his answer.
Last year the Imperial introduced
this novelty to Madison. On that oc-
casion a charge was made for admis-
sion to the show. A change is made
this year, and every little chap will
be admitted free, and the show will
be run until every last one a seen
the grand things on the screen and
seen Santa Claus and got a present.
The merchants of Madison, realiZ-
ing what a benefit both to themselves
and to the children of the county
such a feature Is, have agreed to con-
tribute $50 toward a Santa Claus
day. They also agree to run a no
tice in each advertisement in the
daily papers calling attention to the
event. On the part of the theater
managers, they agree to have Santa
Claus come to Madison Oh the after
noon train, and be present at the Inn
perial theater to give a talk and pres
ents between each show. In case the
train is late Santa Claus will beat the
train here by automobile or his ole
team of RENDERS. The show will
be entirely free to the little chaps.
Young folks are invited to tell Sc
crets to Santa, too. They may write
him a letter. Last year this proved
a feature, but, unfortunately. many
little folks forgot to tell him where
they lived, and he could not answer
their letters or send them a present
il they could not be at Madison tc
meet him.
Many young folks do not believe In
Santa Claus any mor They lose a lot
by their lack of faith. or course
many of them have never seen him
as he comes in the night when the
kids are asleep, and they can't believe
what they have But al
ways believe in Santa Claus. He will
be here, and you al see him fol
yourselves. And keep your faith for
ever. For as long as there is leve
and laughter and bright eyes ant
childish joy-as long as there arr
fond parents and the JOY in seeing
their little ones happy, just so Ions
will there be a Santa Claus. Ant
when this idol of the childish mine
is called a lie. and over-scrupuloui
parents cease to mislead the childisl
mind, then let them watch out tina
they are not acting a greater lie II
destroying the sweetest, homeliest
most ~ioy-giving institution given Vi
by Christianity.

the police last night again broke up the

groaning at attacks on Mayor Mitchell.
Great Britain and the newspapers, were
sent fleeing in every direction before
the rushes of the police machine.
Two arrests were made when the
meeting was stopped abruptly after it
had been in progress only twenty-five
minutes. Shane Conway, one of the
speakers, whose utterances started the
demonstrations, was charged with block

In National Crisis
u. S. Commissioner of Ed.
ucation Urges Women's
Clubs to Lend Aid

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA special
appsA to club women and ministers in
the United States has been issued By
the United States Commissioner of
Education, DR.. P. P. Claxton, urging
that their influence be given to the
maintenance of the schools OF the M
ton in their full efficiency during the
war. Dr.. Claxton says:
Everywhere there seems to be fear
lest our schools of all kinds and grades,
and especially the public schools, will
suffer because of conditions growing
out Of our entrance into the war. o.
the other hand. both for the present
defence and for the future welfare of
our country. as we'll as for the indi-
vidual benefit of the children, it is of
the greatest importance that the
schools shall be maintained in their
full efficiency. both as TO standards IF
work and attendance of children.
while the war continues there will
be many unusual temptations to many
kinds of juvenile delinquencies. Prompt
and regular attendance at school and
proper employment during out of
school hours Will be the chidren's sur
est protection against such tempta-
tons.
when the boys and girls now %
school age have reached manhood and
womanhood there will be need for a
higher standard of intelligence, skill
and wisdom, work of life and for the
duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship than we have ever yet attained.
Our schools must now be so sustained
and improved as to enable them better
TO prepare our boys and girls for life
and work in the new age which will
follow the close of the war. No boys
and girls must now be neglected or ex-
plotted for selfish ends"

Suit Against Austrian
Not Neutrality Breach

Justice Guy decided yesterday that
permission for Frenchman TO sue an
Austrian in the Supreme Court would
not constitute breach of neutrality.
Charles Cuvillier, the Frenchman. is
the composer of the musical play
Flora Bella" Otto Erich, the Aus
tran and defendant, was engaged as
agent to arrange for the production of
the play. Cuvllier is suing TO recover
one-half of the S9,065 which he says
Erich received in royalties from his
play, less $4,000 for expenses.
Counsel for Erich moved TO have the
action OF the composer dismissed, on
the ground that it would be breach
OF neutrality TO permit litigation be-
tween citizens of "belligerent countries
with which the United States is not at
war" Counsel for Cuvillier replied
that, although the United States is not
officially at war with Austria, the neu-
trality proclamation of President Will
son no longer applied to Austria, in
view Of that countrY's alliance with

charge when she refused to obey a po-
lice command to "move on"
Crowds Gather Early

More than an hour before the time
scheduled for the meeting hundreds OF
persons began walking up and down
the block, while others stood on the
Broadway corners and. waited for the
opening Of hostilities.
But the police. under Inspector James
Bolsnd, Of the Sd Inspection District,
had been before them, and fifteen uni
formed men and an equal number Of
members of the "strong-arm squad" in
civilian garb, kept the crowd moving in
a steady stream.
Shortly after eight o'clock the meet
ing was called to order, and the crowd,
hocking from every point, in trice
filled the street and overfowed onto
the sidewalks. There appeared to be
little disorder and the prospects Of a
disappointingly tame session, when
Organizer Stephen w. Johnson out on
bail under a disorderly conduct charge,
began to speak.
He asked the audience to keep per-
feet peace at the meeting, and enjoined
them to cooperate with the police in
maintining proper traffic conditions
He soncluGed:
"Only enemies Of America and Ire
land want disorder here. We are law
abiding citizens. If the police authori-
ties order US to dispense, let US not
question here their right to do so; on
the other hand, let US dispense peace
ably and quickly"
Conway Denounces Mitchell
The applause which greeted this plea
was quickly swallowed up when Con-
way, the next speaker, began his fiery
denunciations. Catcalls and booing
greeted the name of Mayor Mitchell,
when the speaker shouted:
when the Mayor forbids US to
speak, he is usurping the power of God
Almighty Himself, who gave US Irish
the love of freedom"
A little later, there was another vio-
lent outburst Of kissing when Conway
referred to the "Anglomaniac press of
New York, which is trying to keep us
from the cause of Irish freedom By
this time the throng had grown so
dense the police were no longer able to
get even the most sluggish motion in
the line, and there was the greatest
danger of smashing the heavy plate
glass store windows.
Followed then hurried consultation
between police officials and the SPEAKER
Conway backed off the stand, amid
cheers. He was followed by Farrell
Gallagher, member of the Friends of
