YES, I know something of the

before the United States entered the
war; I was surprised by a visit of a
gentleman from Chicago q do not re-
member his name). who had seen an
article or two of mine deprecating war.
He asked me to make a speech in Chi
cago before an assembly of ladies and
gentlemen VINO hoped to preserve
peace. and who. as l remembered. he
thought would form an organization to
promote public opinion against the fur
ther shipment of arms and ammuni-
tions from America.
Il expressed some sympathy with the
idea. but declined to go to Chicago to
speak. few months later ] was
astonished to find my name printed on
the stationery of the American En-
barge Conference as chairman of the
national board!
Consulting my letter files I find that
on December :. 1915. l wrote to the
executive secretary of this organiza-
tlon, expressing surprise that they had
used my name. and asking them to
withdraw it from their stationery.
Some correspondence followed, as
CLEAN from a hurried review of my let
ter files, but the executive officers of
the conference apologized for the un-
warranted use of my name and with
drew it from their stationery. On my

Mrs. Friesz remained overnight.
Miss Myrtle Friesz came to town
with her mother and returned
home with her brother. Miss
Leona Sleyster accompanied
Myrtle and Homer and as they
were going down the court house
hill the harness became disar-
ranged and the team ran away.
At the entrance to the bridge
Homer was thrown out Of the
spring wagon and at the west
end of the bridge the wagon
tongue broke and upset the ve-
hicle, the young women being
pinioned under it. A few inch
es more to the south and the
wagon would have gone over
into the deep ditch.
Homer was bruised, the young
women sustained several bruises,
the worst being on their knees
and arms, the wagon was con-
siderably damaged and the
horses Lit out for home, walking
most of the way. The escape
from serious injury to the three
occupants of the wagon is unex-

Three Fourths Carelessness

Attention is called every day
by the accounts in the press or
by ones own observation to the
number of lives lost and the
property damage resulting from
unadnlterated carelessness prin-
cipally and malicious indiffer-
ence in many instances. The
number Of accidents to automo-
biIes and other vehicles in this
county alone, If summarized,
would astound as. There has
SO far been no loss of life ex-
cept from railroad collisions with
cars, but the number who have
been crippled more or less SER
iously is great. The wonder Of
all cognizant of the narrow es-
capes enjoyed by drivers Of
teams as well as autoists is why
they escaped under the circum-
stances. Travel'over the county
and you will see vehicles in grea.
ter or less state Of demolition at
various and sundry points. then
90 to the auto repair shops and
inventory the damaged and
wrecked machines, the great
majority of all of them, buggies,
wagons, carriages, autos and
fiivvers victims of carelessness.
No one driving an auto should
pass ateam or another car at
high speed. There is great
danger in so doing. No one
should turn a corner round which
the view is the least obstructed
without having his machine un-
der perfect control. Then too
