Liquor Solicitation.

4 timely appeal is being made to
Congress to exclude liquor advertis-
ing and solicitation from the Federal
mails. Liquor advertising has been
barred by the best magazines and
news periodicals for years. The list
Of publications that refuse to accept
such advertising is constantly grow
ing and the distillers, brewers and
liquor dealers have been forced to
other means of spreading their soil
citation. The mails offered the great
est opportunity and there is a con-
sistent campaign to develop mail
order business and advertise special
brands and special forms of liquor
bv mail circulars. Much of this ad-
vertising is done in dry territory
where the voters have baniShed the
liquor rralfic Thus the machinery
Of the Federal Government is used
states. Again, such advertising is
intended to create a demand for Il
commodity that is fast falling under
the ban of public condemnation, and
it uses a public service agency in at
tanning its aim. Congress has pass
ed laws excluding other classes OF
literature that are considered mimi
cal to the public good. 1t will add
the exclusion of liquor advertising
when the public demands it. Your
appeal TO your congressional repre-
sentative will help.-Pennsylvan

Snakes Hill $685. In British India.

Simla. India, Jan. 4.-More than
$4,000 persons were killed by snakes
and wild animals in British India in
1915. Government reports just made
public show that 923 persons were
slain by tigers and other beasts, and
26,3S5 persisted thru being bitten
by reptiles, an increase over the pre-
Vious year of 300 deaths met in this
manner. No figures are available for
the native states, with their pOpula-
ton of some 90.000,000.
In the last five years elephants,
tigers and other animals have killed
1892 persons in British India and Of
these tigers have claimed a toll Of
3,6S2. In the same period 116,S2S
persons have died as the result of
snake bites.
In order to effect the destruction
OF as many wild animals and snakes
as possible, the government pays
bounties. The number of animals
destroyed in 1915 was 25,036, includ-
ing 1852 tigers, 6,623 leopards, 2,775
bears and 2,191 wolves. The total
number of snakes killed was 663

GHOSTS ALWAYS WHITE? NO,
HERE'S A BLACK ONE
Deputy Sheriffs Solve Mystery When
They Obtain Confession From
Negro Boy.

Fayette, Mo-, Jan. 4-The well
grounded notion that ghosts are al
ways white and shimmery was given
a setback here when Deputy Sheriffs
Dollard and Robinson brought in
Jack Black, a negro as dark as his
name, from the Missouri River hills
Black had been playing spook SC
cleverly around the farm OF young
Albert Rainsberger that Rainsberger
had contemplated selling out and
moving away from Howard county
and the whole countryside had be-
come stirred up by the nocturnal
visits.
Rainsberger lives with his wife on
a farm in the edge of Boonsboro. For
two weeks SO many mysterious things
happened around the home, without
any apparent cause or sequence,
Rainsberger became greatly disturb
ed. The thing which disturbed his
sleep and destroyed his appetite was
the mysterious lights which were
flashed on him at night.
The glare OF the lights would il
Illuminate momentarily the inside of
his home and then would disappear
without even giving him a chance to
shot in the direction of the lights on
one or two occasions, but he heard
and saw no one run.
But perhaps the most mystifying
evidence of ghosts were the tracks
which he saw in the light snow at his
front door one morning. The tracks
leading to the door were small, al
most dainty, while those leading
from the doorstep were huge.
What human being could thus
change his pedal cXtremities and be
wilder the occupants of the home?
Things became SO uncomfortable Mr. and
Mrs. Rainsberger left home one or
two nights and when they returned
they found their furniture turned
topsy turvy as if the genies of Hal
lowe'en had made visit out of sea-
son. Half burned rags were found
under the ice box. Things were mis-
placed, but nothing was taken away.
Finally Mr.. Rainsberger appealed
to Sheriff Dollard, who spent a night
at the Rainsberger home, but he saw
no ghosts. He later sent his depu
ties, Kirk Dollard and W. H. Rob-
inson, who spent a night with the
Rainsbergers.
The two deputies visited Jack, a
negro boy who lives in a shanty near
the Rainsberger home and who is
employed by Mr.. Rainsberger. While
they were there they saw a very large
overshoe under the bed. They asked
Jack about that Overshoe and the
truth about the nocturnal ghosts
came out in a deluge of narratives
punctuated with laughter.
Jack was unable to explain fully to
the justice court here his motive for
such conduct, but it is believed he
was coached by some one who was
envious of the prosperity of the
Rainsbergers.

MAN HANGED BY HOG HE TRIES
TO STEAL
Thief'S week Caught in Fence rs
Burden Slips.
West Friendship, Md

Jim Shade, negro of Lick Log
Gap, n. c., a colOred settlement, was
hanged by a hog recently.
The story is told by Horton Cooper
of Frank. as follows:
When the weather became colder
Wednesday, Isaac Oils, a white farm
er of this place, slaughtered a 200
pound porker and left it hanging
where it had been dressed that it
might thoroughly cool over night
When Mr.. Oils went early next
morning to finish his work he found,
much to his chagrin, that the porker
was missing. Guessing what had
happened, he began a systematic
search for trace OF the thief.
Strange footsteps had gone in the
direction of Lick Log Gap, and fol-
lowing them. Mr.. Oils soon came to
a place where signs indicated that
the thief had dropped his slippery
burden and had had trouble in re
placing it upon his shoulder.
Mr.. Oils hurried on. Scarcely
fifty yards farther the objects of his
search broke upon his surprised
sight A high, old-fashioned rail
1CIlSC an III Gully AL Coo ILlC Il OIL
and from the tOpmOst rail, and on the
side next to Mr. Oils, hung the car
cass of the hog; on the other side,
his head between the gambrel-stick
and one of the hogs hind legs, dang
LED the lifeless body of Jim Shade.
His neck was broken.
When the heavy and slippery bur-
den was being hoisted across the
fence it had slipped and artomatical-
ly hanged the pork-hungry darkey."

FEAR CANTONMEFSTS
WILL NOT BE READY

WASHINGTON, June 19.-simul-
faneous construction of sixteen war
army cantonments, each to house
10000 troops. has proved such an
enormous task that officials now do
not believe it can be completed in
time to permit mobilization Of the
first quota of $4,000 by Sept, |.
Whether any Of the men selected
under tie draft will be called out
until the government is ready TO be-
Gin training of the entire first quota
has not been revealed, II is be-
lleved that even ii all the canton
ments are not conn leted by Septem-
Der, such units as can be accom-
modated may be summoned in adj
vance OF the others,
The task has been surrounded with
many unexpected difficulties. The
department has been under fire
from communities which hoped for
environment sites and has been be
aicged with correspondence from
contractors seeking a share in the
work.
Whatever may be the final deeis-
ion on such problems. the prelimi-
nary work will be the same and army
orders today show additional Off
GERS assigned to toe construction

The administration OF food control

lions as to peoples diet. That might
