POLICE SEARCH
FOR YOUNG man
INITIATING THAW

, CINCINNATI. O., March 1.-THE
police are today searching the city of
Richmond, Indiana, for William Mea-
street, this city, reported missing
from home here since 4 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. The police were
told that the boy was erticed into an
automobile by well-known wealthy
young man, son Of a prominent fam.
lily here, whose description was fur
nished, and was driven away,
The police gained Information here
today that led to the belief that the
kidnapped boy is being hidden at Rich
mond until excitement lessons. Cir
cTmstances surrounding the boys dis
appearance connect his case with that
OF Roy Maher, a pupil at the Saint
Johns school at Green and Bremen
streets, who on Friday was induced
by man in an automobile to take
ride and later was attacked in a Grim
fnal manner in vacant house at Sixth
and John streets. The description of
the Maher hoy's assailant tallies with
that of the man who drove away with
the Meadows boy. He is described as
being about 30 years old, weighing
about 40 pounds and dressed in
brown suit and black SLOUGH hat.
Another school boy named Robert
Reign Hart, aged Is years and resid-
ing at 1919 Elm street not far from
the home of the Meadows boy, is also
missing, and eye witnesses declare
that the same man who took the
Meadows and Maher boys away in an
automobile was seen to induce the
Reighter boy TO go away in an auto
mobile Of tie same description. The
crimes SO far charged against the
young man about town here are sim
ilar to that charged against Harry
Thaw, young New Yorker, and upon
which the eastern courts are now act
ing SO far only John Doe warrants
have been issued in order to protect
the young alleged criminals family
here but the police are expected to
insert the young mans right name if
the Richmond search is successful
.odsy.

not without humorous incidents.
Earl Doherty, well known Hagers-

Dear Friends:-
As per my promise to write. we AZ
rived at Mission in fine shape, and are
living one-half mile east of town, on
the Mission. McAllen, Boulevard. Our
ear came through all o. H., and was
twelve days on the road. A few pota-
toes We're frozen, but were not hurt
much. Chickens were six days, but
came through without any loss and
are doing fine. We are building and
will move within the next three
weeks. The weather is fine except a
couple Of cold rains, which were fine
for truck. There Is estimated to be
about 5000 acres of cabbage in the
Valley. Cabbage Is averaging eight
$50 per ton, +. d. u. Was out on the
Edinburg road yesterday. and saw
several planting corn. Grape fruit
and oranges were plentiful, but are
getting scarce, and are selling at fan
cy prices. Fancy grape fruit is $500
per box. Chickens are high, 2-pound
fries, $l.0O each; eggs are a. cents
per dozen. The Valley is booming.
You can look in any direction you
please, and you can see new houses
going up and new groves being plant
ed. This country has the usual num-
Der Of boosters and knockers, but take
the country AS whole, ! believe IL
will be one Of the best agricultural
and citrus fruit sections of the Unit
ed States. send best regards to all
friends in Old Holt, and invite you,
when convenient, to visit the Valley.
! assure you that you will find the
latch-string on the outside.
Respectfully, G. w. HURST.

War or Peace?

The apparent anxiety of Ger many to back up on it's U-bOat crusade, at least against the Am erican ships, and to give over Zeppelin attacks on London, may mean that foxy old Germany does rot propose to be caught without q trump in the event of a possibility of peace.
 Possibly Germany has realized that when she sues for peace. 1t is going to be to her advantage to have a friend on the out side who can exert some infiu- ence with the allies. and that she is not going to trample the toes of the United States now that she has discovered that the United States objects.
 Germany methodicaily pre- pared for war, and it is as prob able she has methodically pre- pared for peace a peace of vic tory and 9 peace of defeat. The moves and counter moves she is making are made with a definite purpose, and around the corner someN here Germany has a peace plan,
 The war came quickly almost overnight and it is entirely probable that once Germany finds she cannot terrorize and cannot bluff, a peace will come with as founding quickness.

Art Exhibit Coming
 Ozark.

Arrangements have been made by the faculty of the public school and the s. 1. A. for the display in our city on March 21 of the Bison Art Exhibit. This IS a mammoth collection in fac simile of priceless masterpieces of the worlds art. The collec- tion weighs 1000 pounds land consists of carbon phot ographs photogravures, copper plate paintings of famous pictures. etc, found only in the great art galleries. The admission fee will be only 10 cents, thus plac- ing it within reach of every boy and girl in the county.
 The proceeds from admission fees and our commission on sale of pictures will be expended in pictures for public schools.
 The display will be presented in the store building one door east of Elsey Harris harness shop, w. c. Bill having gener- ously donated this building for this purpose.
 We believe this magnificent collection merits the patronage of the entire county.

Comments The Spectator

Editor of the Ozark Spectator:
 My Dear Sir: You are to be commended for your generosity and liberality for space Tn your columns for religious or bible dis cussion. without sectarian preJu- dice. If all our secular papers would have limited amount of space devoted to religious mat ter. am sure their readers would appreciate it, and We would be a better improved people and a better people.
 The article by Elder J. W. Pruiett in your issue of Feb. 3, although not altogether new to eve. yone, yet 1 am confident few people, ministers included, have ever thought much on those lines. and possibly have not seen the significance of these things, and the part they play in the world or kingdom to come. No man can write such an an article without d great deal of study. Bible lovers should clip such ar ticles and file away for future reference. l, fo: one, want to thank Bro. Pruiett for this able article. Sincerely yours,
 w. ]. Davis.
