MEETING FAVORS
DRAFT SYSTEM
Strong Resolutions Passed at
Newports Demonstration
on Conscription

Newport, Pa, May 1. = Newports
great patriotic demonstration and
parade last Saturday showed the
complete loyalty of the people OF
Perry county to their country. The
weather was perfect and practically
every resident of the town and OF
this section o~ re vvuuyy was IN line
along the streets as spectators. Gov
ernor Martin G.. Brumbaugh, had
promised Chief Marshal j. S. Eby
that he would be present to deliver
the principal speech, but on account
of urgent business in Philadelphia it
was necessary for him to select Will
liam M. largest, Deputy Attorney
General of Pennsylvania, who made
an eloquent address
At the meeting following the flag
raising demonstration the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed
"Forasmuch as our nation is at
this time in a state of war, it BELTS
all citizens to uphold our country
and our cause in this the hour of
battle. Therefore. be it
Resolved. That we, the people of
Perry county, Pennsylvania, in our
patriotic demonstration assembled,
do pledge to our government our
miration for the course it has
adopted.
Moreover since this is a govern
ment by the people for the people,
we would assert and insist upon it
that it is on that account also a gov
ernment of the people. that there
fore, every citizen of this country
as such, is subject to the call of the
common government when needed.
However willing any portion of the
people may be to bear the RESPONSE
bilities of all the people, the govern
ment would be unjust to them and
untrue to itself to permit it. 1t
should be not only the unquestioned
right but also the unavoidable duty
of the government to call upon any
or upon all and the obligation is upon
any one and every one to answer.
Therefore we approve and command
the government for insisting upon
the right and privilege of drafting
men, when and where and as they are
needed.
Moreover since the use of intoXi-
eating liquors so harmful at all times
is especially hurtful in times of war
and wasteful of needed supplies, and
whereas their use adds to the afflic-
tions of adversely, slTbtracts from the
blessings OF Drosper1ty, multiplies the
woes of war, and divides and disSi-
pates the dividends of subsequent
peace, we would commend our gov
ernment for it's recommendation of
an increasing production and proper
use of grain for food and would urge
at least as a war measure that it
would strictly forbid the misuse o.
these products for Intoxicating drinl.
The resultant benefits of "a state LS
strict sobriety during the war woy
amply justify the prohibition of sTal.

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or
ANYTHING else you can use for sham
pooling. as this can't possibly injure
the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
