!. +. BROCKELSBY

Treasurer, Jackson County
From farm boy down in Iowa
to successful merchant over at
Cottonwood and from the store to
the position of public trust is the
career of J. Z. Brockelsby, present
county treasurer of Jackson coun-
ty, who entered upon his second
term in that Office on Monday
morning.
!. Z. Brockelsby is yet a young
man, possibly thirty years old and
his rapid rise in the business and
political arena plainly demonstrates
what is possible to attain by
being honest, kind and courteous
in his dealings with his fellow men.
That Mr.. Brockelsby has been a
faithful public servant and one
whose tenure in Office has been of
real benefit to the taxpayer, is
shown by the good service given
by him to all who have had occa-
sion to transact business with the
treasurer Office He has labored
early and late, many mornings and
nights, and has cost the taxpayers
hardly anything in the shape of
additional help to assist in hand
ling the volume of business his
office has to attend to.
The Press is fully aware of the
big demand for such men as ]. L.
Brockelsby is, and we have not the
least hesitency in saying to our
army of readers, that upon the
completion of his present term OF
Office as guardian of the finances OF
Jackson county, that he will he
called by the people of the young
state of South Dakora to go on up
the ladder to higher landing.
Honesty, Courteousness
Moral Cleanliness always win.

IRELAND FEASTS
while ENGLAND
IS ON RAT|0NS
Meatless and Potatoeless
Days Are Unknown In
Land of Erin.

Base Of American Flotilla in Brit
ish Waters, Nov. 10-When an Amer
lean naval man who has visited Ire
land in time of peace is asked what
has impressed him most about Ire
land in war, the inevitable answer is:
"Ireland's prosperity and freedom
from the wartime restrictions of
other countries"
Hundreds of the Americans in the
naval forces have visited England,
Scotland and even France. All agree
that there is more freedom in Ire
land, particularly less wartime cur
tailment of personal liberty. as, for
instance, regarding restrictions in
eating and drinking. There is no con-
scription there. No defense of the
realm act'' and few war taxes exist.
Certainly when it comes to food and
drink Ireland is land of plenty in
comparison with England. There 10
not only more food and drink there
than in England, but it is of better
quality.
And In most parts Of Ireland it is
cheaper. Meatless and potatoless
days are unknown there. Potatoes
never were SO plentiful. That they
are cheaper than even in the United
States was unknown to the commits
sary department of the American
navy, which recently shipped to the
fiotil1a about 5000 bushels, but which
never were un1oaded. After discharg-
ing it's cargo Of other foodstuffs the
naval supply ship was sent to another
port, where the potatoes were sold to
the British government
Fresh meat also is cheaper in Ire
land than in. 1crIo a Tint cd
States, porterhouse steak being from
five to seven cents pound below the
American price. Americans are
struck by the large portions served in
Ireland as compared with what they
get in England. For three shiIlinga
they get a meal that includes soup, fish
or lobster and sometimes both, hot or
cold meat, dessert, cheese and biscuits
and tea or coffee. The same meal in
hotel Of corresponding grade in Eng
land would cost at least six shil1ings.
Drink, too, is not only more plenti-
full but of better quality. The drink
Ing places in Ireland are open all day
and until II o'clock at night, whereas
in England and Scotland they are open
only for two hours in the afternoon
and three hours in the evening"
In England today it is regarded as
indicate to ask a friend for a
match. In France matches are well
nigh unobtafnable. All the contin-
entail countries are suffering from a
match famine. Not so in Ireland.
Hotels, bar rooms, and cigar stores
all have matches in abundance and
they are used with the same freedom
as in time of peace.
The Americans see the Irish far
nner prosperous beyond precedent.
The sailor in his little trips to Dub
lin and such resorts as Killarney,
Youghal and Glencariff passes
through some of the richest agricul.
tural country in the world, and farm.
Pers boast of the record sprices they
are getting for their produce. espe-
cially their live stock Moreover,
farm labor is plentiful and of good
quality, due largely to the fact that
there has been virtually no emigra-
ton from Ireland for three years.

Considerable protest is being heard

six months ago, the United States has
declared war against Germany and
thousands of young Americans have

FOREIGN PROS WILL
VISIT U. S. LINKS

AS anticipation is greater than re-
alization, AT least SO the wise men
say, golfers may be pardoned for
hazarding a peep into the future.
There's nothing more calculated to
spur the home guard on to maximum
effort than the thought of a possible
foreign invasion. From time to time
the ruInor drifts across the seas to
the effect that this and that famous
professional is contemplating a yisit
to America, and unuestionalbly num-
Der will come here at the conclusion
of the war.
From statements, however. made
recently by Henry Leach, that well
known student of the game, Harry
Vardon. J. H. Taylor, George Duncan
and Sgd Ball will surely come this
way. It's a fact that the proposed
Vardon- Taylor-Ted Ray visit in 1916
was stopped from patriotic motives,
but now that the United States is an
out and out ally these world famous
golfers are keener than ever for a
tour of this country.
Who can forget when Vardon and
Ray We're here in 1913? The way
those dashing Britons met all corners,
on many OF the leading courses in the
COuNtTy, Is StHI lTpSii III iuSA1OIy, anu
it probably was the greatest boost tha
game has had on this side of the At
lantic in many years.
It is said that a theatrical manager
plans to look after the interests OF
the quartet of professionals, and the
chances are the visitors would win a
majority Of their matches If four
of them were to keep together the
tour would be more difficult to han
die than with just two, for in the
latter case four ball contests could
always be arranged with little effort
on the part of the entertaining club
Where several players are grouped
it might mean that medal play COM
petitions would have to be provided.
There are SO many strong profession
ais here now that even If Vardon and
Taylor were to team up they would
be certain to meet worthy opponents
at almost every turn. In the metro
politan district there are a number
of resident "pros" still capable of
playing great golf, though hardly
with the same brilliancy that has
marked the recent progress of the ma
tive born talent.
In a recent match at Manchester,
EngIapid, for the benefit of the Brit
ish Red Cross Between Duncan, who
is attached to the Royal Flying Corps,
and Ball, who is corporal in the
same7 division, against Vardon and
Taylor, the last named pair were the
winners by up. Both Duncan and
Ball were given leave Of absence to
take part in the exhibition match,
which netted a considerable sum.

Mrs. Morgan Leaves
Husband and Baby

Having recovered from an unsuc-
cessful attempt to commit suicide
several weeks ago, Mrs. Felix Nor
gan of 10 Harvard street, is reported
by her husband to the police as hav-
ing abandoned her home and a baby,
taking an older child with her The
child is now in care of neighbors, and
the husband has asked the assistance
of the police in locating his wife.
The Morgans have not been getting
along well together and several weeks
ago Mrs. Morgan took quantity of
bioh1oride of mercury. She was
taken to the Bridgeport hospital
where she recovered, and was sent
back to her home a short time ago.
No reason is advanced for her leav-
ing home except domestic troubles.
The Morgans have resided in this
city short time and but little is
known about them.
