FIRE
IN HOOD OF AUTO

C%enterville. April 9.-At 1890 Fri
day morning fire "a discovered in
the hood of the John Dale automobile
which had been driven onto the north
side of the square and left standing In
front Of the Kimber millinery store.
The department was called out and
soon extinguished the fire with their
emergency fire extinguishers. Prac-
tically no damage was done other than
the burning Of the paint from the
hood of the car. 1t is presumed that
the fire started when the engine back
fired and ignited some gasoline which
might have been standing in the pan.
The cause of flames and smoke was
the burning of grease and oil which
had accumulated on the engine.

valor, sacrifice and divinely command

war, and who shall hesitate or falter
Shall you? Shall I? A mighty chorus
of American valor and conscience re.
spends.
"No!" The flag We love would drape
itself in crepe If American love of uni.
versal liberty should die.
But it is not dead, nor even sick. It
is back of the president and the
mighty force of 10000, 900 free men
pledging the last dollar of the worlds
richest nation as congress has, and
the last drop Of blood as every man
worthy Of his American citizenship
does, to decide the war so nobly fought
to the moment by the bruised and.
blood dripping democracies Of Europe.
Through the world, as Mr.. Darling,
Iowa's famous c%artoonist, pictures,
has been thrust the sword of German
imperialism and there can be no stop
page of the floods of blood which have
painted Europe red and stained Amer
lea, until that fostering blade is re-
moved.

And when the horror Of this war
shall have passed, it shall be known

that we have warred for them as we'll
as for our liberty and the liberty Of

save the dynasties which
goaded the world to wal and they
shall lose only the power they have
taken from the people who should
rule.
What a professional 1t will be! For

France. that godmother Of the Amer

BOND ISSUE.

A decision to introduce the $4,000
OOO, 900 bond issue measure on Thurs.
| day in the house was reached today by
Secretary McAdoo and Representative
Rainey Of Illinois, ranking democratic
member of the ways and mean COM
mittee.
The will carry a $4,000, 600
600 issue for a loan to the allies ard a
$2,O 900, 000. 900 issue for conducting the
war for this country. The $4,000, 900
900 issue is expected to meet %approxi-
mately one-half of this country's war
expenses up to June 30. 1918. Consid-
Grafton of plans for raising additional
funds by taxation for conducting the
war for this country will come later.
The most essential thing to be accom-
plished now, it is agreed, is to prepare
the allies loan in order that they may
obtain much needed food and NUM-
lions.
Every effort to rush the bond meas
ure through the house will be consid-
cred by the ways and means commit
tee Wednesday.
The question of the tenure of the
bonds has not been definitely decided.
Some members of the committee prefer
fifty year bonds but think that it would
be best to pay them off at different
times.
The question of raising money by
taxation still is being considered from
many angles and no concrete plan has
been worked out. 1t is generally agreed
that excess profits. incomes and GER
tain Injuries will be heavily taxed.
What will be done about increasing the
inheritance tax, however, still is prob
