The establishment of Palestine as an
independent Jewish republic is being
most favorably considered by practi-
cally all the entente powers engaged
in the war, according to a statement
from the headquarters of the Zionist
ORGANIZATION of America in announc-
ing a call for a convention to be held
in Baltimore beginning June "a. 1t is
confidently expected that America
will shortly issue an official pro-
nouncement to the same effect. 1t is
knewn that this is one of the subjects
that were discussed by President Will
son and Arthur J. Balfour, Great
Britain's special commissioner to the
United States. The hope OF the i'm
mediate realization of this twenty
century old dream lies in the immi-
nent capture of Jerusalem by the
British army under Gen. Archibald
Murray, which has invaded Palestine.

81 ROY z. MOULTON.

Farewell"
Farewell" he said and turned away
And who he was where
Or whether he had more to say,
We neither know nor care;
And of the sort of life he led
There's nothing we can tell,
Save that he turned away and said,
FAREWELL"
Perhaps tear stood in his eye,
A sweetheart, fond and true,
Perhaps was bidding him goodbye,
AS sweethearts often do;
Perhaps a mother, old and grey,
Or yet u Cousin Nell,
1t was who heard him sadly say,
FAREWELL
Though all that we have guessed be wrong,
Yet this at least We know,
Twas in a sentimental song,
Or else a movie show,
Or in novel or a play
The incident befell.
For only there do people say,
FAREWELL"

MCKIRNAN BROS.

THIEVES ENTER TOBACCO STORE
BY REAR DOOR AND EMPTY
REGISTER OF OVER 500

McKirnan tobacco store and billiard
parlor was entered by thieves sometime
early Thursday morning. Over 800 in
cash and a prize board which contained
diamond rings. Elgin watches and gold

day r the register. Upon his arrival at
the stor, Thursday morning he discover
ed the robbery and at once reported it

Marshal Fisher discovered that the rob-
bers entered the building by the back
door and found their finger prints on the
glass that was lifted from the door, and
these we're photographed to aid the off,

Why a Liberty Loan, Anyway?

Washington without protest.
But the fact is that of the triAe more
than billion dollars of revenue annu-
ally, nothing has been saved. No sur
plus has accumulated in the treasury.
And the rainy day has come for the ma
ton as II comes for its individuals.
Now, we need $40, 900, 900, 900 for this
first year OF war. 1t will go for loans to
our allies; for the equipping Of the navy
and the arming Of land forces; for mu-
nitions OF war and big and little guns;
for army and navy pay; for the purchase
and forwarding Of the tremendous food
supplies necessary for the army support,
and for army insurance to support
stricken families.
Meantime our normal sources OF reve-
nue. are interrupted and our expense of
government increased. We must have
about S19, 500, 900, 900 more ready cash
this year than last.
And the size Of your Liberty bond pur-
chase will measure your real worth to
your country as a citizen.

The Rev. Francis Buechel, C.P.P.S.,
a former we'll known priest of this coun-
ty, died at Frank, o., on the 26th ult. =,
at the age of 90. The deceased was born

this country at the opening OF the civil
war, when 36 years old, obtaining ad-
mission into the Society of the Fathers
of the Most Precious Blood and entering
upon his studies for the priesthood at St.
Charles Seminary at Carthagena, this
county. He was ordained a priest on
June Is, 1871. He was pastor during his
residence in this county of the Catholic
churches at St. Sebastian, Cranberry

dorf and Frank, where he done his last
work, he was chaplain. His funeral took

DESIRES TO SET
MATTERS RIGHT
To the Public {:

To the Public:
About the 1st of May, 1917, the repre-
sentative of the Ohio State Agricultural
College who had charge of the boys and
girls trips to Washington asked me to
solicit the business men of Celina for
two trips to Washington, one for boy
and one for girl. Through mistake
of the newspapers, it seems that have
been given credit for these two trips,
which is not correct, and am writing
this statement for the purpose of ex-
planning to the public and asking them
not to give me the credit but to give the
credit to those persons who have con-
tributed their money for that purpose.
The following is list of the progress
sive and up-to-date firms that have con-
tributed their money for this purpose,
with the respective amounts they have

MARRIED ON EVE GUOOM'S
CALL TO CAMP sheridan

News was gently conveyed to friends
of Miss Mary Stelzer and Gerald Jeffries,
of St. Marys, Saturday, that they had
quietly gone up to Windsor, Canada, and
that-they were married. They left Ce-
lima last Friday morning without her
aids and returned Friday night in the
same fashion-just like it was nobody S
business but their own. The announce
ment of their marriage was a distinct
surprise to their friends in this city, but
they are already forgiven. The bride is
daughter of Nicholas Stelzer, of North
Mill street, this city, and the groom a
we'll known St. Marys boy. He is q
member of Co. K, Second Regiment, and
left with his company last Sunday for
Camp Sheridan, Alabama.

RUN DOWN THE
DIRTY RUMORS

This is for YOU. When any one tells
you, says the Toledo News Bee, that he
has heard that the articles knitted for the
Red Cross to be given to the soldiers are
being sold or otherwise misappropriated,
go right after that person for the author
ity for the rumor. He may be innocent,
but make him tell wheae he hears it.
That's your duty.
There is no doubt that these rumors
are part of the cowardly campaign in
this country, intended to cripple the en-
ergies of the country and to make it as
hard as possible for our boys in the
trenches.
So it's your duty to do this much for
the soldier boys who are not here to do
it for themselves. Run down the lying
rumors and Uncle Sam will take care of
the rest. At least discourage them by
going toward their source.
