FRIDAY is COLUMBCS DAY

Friday, October IL, is Columbus
Day. Four hundred and twenty-five
years ago the intrepid Genoese ex-
plorer ran the PROV of his beat upon
the sands of a new world at place
called Cat Island, and took posses
sion in the name of Queen Isabella of
Spain, who financed the expedition.
The geographical society had not
come into existence at that time or
very likely the claims of Chris would
have been disputed, and these hardy
argonauts of rockingham fame would
have brought forth another claimant
for the honor. Be that as 1t may Col
umbus has received all the credit up
to the present time, chiefly because
Teddy has been so busy promoting the
war that he has had no time to ex-
anime Chris's antecedents. Much has
happened in America since Column
bus discovered it, The fox-trot and
bunny-hug have been discovered;
Heinz has invented 81 varieties Of
pickles., and Lord Northcliffe has
proven to his satisfaction that the
war was started somewhere in Eu-
rope. Appendicitis and Chauvinism
have also become popular. California
has become noted as a winter home
for Alaskaps, and the price. Of -four
has gone up eight. dollars per barrel.
Beyond these few historical facts the
country is in about the same state
as discovered by Columbus. A few
more savages roam our streets and
society is wearing less clothes than
the aborigines erstwhile shocked by
the Genoese captain. Money has also
assumed an important place In the az
fairs of the new world. The wampum
found by Chris would buy vans. furs
and a few etceteras, but the hard
money now in general circulation can
purchase the soul of a sinner or
ticket to hell with equal facility. Col
umbus was clothed with metal yclept
armour by the ancient warriors,
while the only weapons used in pres
ent day warfare is venomous ton
que and a swollen bank-roll. Column
bus probably would not recognize one
of the many hundred places claimed
as the spot where he first saw the light
as Cuba and San Salvatore are spot
ted with them. The ashes of the great

THE S7,O00,000,000 war deficiency
bill which was passed by the house
recently. includes the following ap-
preparations: s13.OOO,OOO for small
arms for target practice; s220.277,-
900 for automatic machine guns;
$685., 100000 for field and siege can
non. and s16.65O,0OO for armored
motor cars. The urgent need of these
munitions is attested by the fact that
the bill was passed without dissent
ing vote. Ii has been the expressed
opinion of the kaiser and other lead
ers in Germany that Americas part
in the war could be discounted be-
cause America is not ready-and this
bill reveals the basis of the German
logic. OF course we shall get ready
after awhile but we should have been
ready before the war started. In that
case probably we should not have had
to go to war at all.

SHOULD THROTTLE TRAITORS

Treason stalks abroad in the land
and hydra-headed sedition has been
exposed in many quarters. Soap-bcx
orators, Pro-Germans and unmasked
pacifsts are permitted to denounce
the governments course in the war,
to injure the nations cause by saying
it should have kept out of the con-
fiict, to help the enemy by cunning
ly trying to poison the minds of Amer
leans against our allies. All these
things are of daily occurrence.
1t is favorite scheme of the Ger
man prOpagandists to attempt to play
upon the psychology of their enc
miles, They do not dare come out in
the open if they are alien enemies,
but they quietly and insidiously chant
their hymn of hate against Great Brit
ain in the hope of creating dissen-
sion and ill-feeling. They seek to i'm
plant in the minds Of the people the
notion that this is not the peoples

PROHIBITION HELP WHISKEY

Arguing from the undisputed fact
that the production of whisky in the
United States increased 10 per cent in
the last fiscal year-that is, the year
ended the 30th of last June-the New
York World earnestly attempts to
prove that prohibition helps whis-
ky" The process of reasoning is not
complicated. In the year 1867 so
many states, counties and cities went
dry; in the same period more whis-
ky was made than the year before.
Therefore, the more prohibition, the
greater the market for strong drink.
This is a typical anti-prohibition
syllogism, and succumbs like the rest
to analytical attack. If 1t were true
that the internal revenue figures on
which the Worlds contention is bas-
ed represented actual consumption Of
so much whisky the argument might
hold together more successfully. But
few people are sufficiently ingenious
to believe that the figures mean any
such thing. What they do mean Is
that a certain amount of spirit was
taken out of bond from the distiller's
warehouse during the period mention
ed. 1t is a matter of common know
ledge that when a state goes dry there
is a rush on the part of wholesalers,
retailers and consumers to "stock
up" in preparation for the new state
of things. Abnormal amounts Of liquor
are thus brought, so to speak, into
circulation.
Beside the local stocking-up pro-
cesses there has been under way since
the first of this year a national whisky
boarding movement, in anticipation
of the closing of the distilleries which
took place a week ago. Distilleries

warm spite Of the record-but that
it was fostered by Wall street, which
was netting vastly more out Of the
var before the United States entered
1t than it Is today. They use every de-
vice and trick in the. hope Of doing
some good turn for the "vaterland."
The psychological leads to the ply
steal. The l. w. w. have been found
to be an organization honeycombed
with treason. based on principles sub
versiVe of our institutions. A branch
of the socialists is also working for
the kaiser and has earned the iron
cross. The agitators, in fact, have had
their way so long that it is dificuh
for them to understand that condi-
tions have changed. Even now, after
six months of war, the government
is hesitating to deal drastically with
the enemies of the country and of the
government. The |. w. w. activities
in the forests and harvest fields and
the disaster at the Mare Island navy
yard are the fruits of the policy mark
ed by too much leniency; and in ev-
cry instance it is the loyal American
and not the enemy or the traitor who
has suffered from misplaced modera-
ton.
The soldier who offers himself In
the country's cause, the mother who is
prepared to sacrifice her son on the
alter of freedom, the welfare of the
nation itself, demands that the gov
eminent silence the preachers of Sc
dition and the authors of enemy and
reasonable conspiracies. The time to
do it is now.

CONGRESS forgot to pass any ade.

fha STRAW VIA

We hass fechieed from Sttasbdrt
. statement of the result Of : straw
vote taken last Saturday in that town
upon the subject of CONSUMPTION and
sending an army to France. The re-
suit Was an almost unanimous vote
against the recommendations of the
President and the position of our
representatives in congress. The
good old town Of Strasburg has =
military and patriotic record second
to none In the state. 1t was from this
section that Col. Abraham Bowman,
who succeeded Col. Muhlenberg in
command of the 9Th Va. Capt. Joseph
Bowman, Lieutenant Isaac Bowman,
the Scissors, the Funks and q number
OF Revolutionary heroes came. In
the war OF 1912 the Spenglers and
others; in the Mexican war that gall
liant soldier Joshua Slower and others
and In the war between the states Col.
Slower gave his life, and many others
from thai section rendered distin
guished services.
It 10 to be regretted that the straw
vote was taken, because 1t cast u
reflection upon the loyalty OF some OF
the most patriotic people OF the State.
We are now in war, hostile subma
rinos threaten our coasts and every
man is expected to do his duty and the
OF the straw vote, to use an
old Roman maxim, will learn that

Prices for summer of 1915
Prices for summer OF 1917

From the above figures it is clear
that the prices for all grades of milk
are considerably more this summer
than they were last summer.
In the third place the committee
feels that every milk producer must
realize the great advantage to be
gained by standing shoulder to
shoulder In the Association. The
Association is daily growing in num-
bers and in strength, and in the future
promises to be of great benefit to all
milk producers. This benefit will APP
ply not only to increased prices for
milk, but also in securing feeds for
its members at reduced prices.
