Local Board Advises Changes
In Laws

The local Deputy State Supervts-
ors of Elections-Cr Creeden, of this CT
ty, and Harting, of st. Henry, Demo
Gratis and Wiley, of Washington and
Drury, of Union, Republicans as
sisted by Clerk John G. Romer met
last Saturday morning and destroyed
the ballots of the last November elec-
tion.
The Board also passed a resolution
requesting the legislature to amend
the present election laws relating to
time of closing polls and payment of
judges and clerks. They would have
the polls close in all voting precincts
at 4 o'clock, instead of $3.50, and
have the judges and clerks paid $5
instead of SO. The plan is now in
use in all cities, requiring registra-
tion, in the state.
The local board have found they
do not get competent men TO act on
the various precinct boards under the
present salary. The plan would also
help the early getting of returns.

BILLY BROCK
Ace of the Air, Instructor of Aviation
School Here, Scars to Heavens
Many Times This Week

Aviator Billy Brock, of the Avia-
tion school in this city, has made fre.
quent trips to the heavens this week.
Several pupils have already been
enrolled and one under the instruc-
tion of Mr.. Brock is now completing
his course here.
The singing hum-drum of the mo-
tor in the big bird as it scars over
and about our little city, no longer
holds the crowds in amazement, but
in open admiration, at the way the
big aerial craft is held in perfect con-
troll sailing with ease and comfort
making wide circles about the town
and lighting with perfect grace on
the ice covered surface of the big
pond which is being used at present
as an Aviation Field.
Aviator Brock, accompanied by his
wife, have made flights every day of
this week Several Of the young men
have taken trips in the big bird this
week also, among them Herbert
Kreimendahl employed at the Celina
Auto Co.; Jesse Poor, employed at
the Lakeview Garage, and Earl
Schlenker, Of the Manhattan Hotel.
Earl says its great sport and he'd
like to be the owner of one, himself.
He advised every one to take a trip
with Aviator Brock, not only for the
but he felt he was about
as close to heaven as some of us pa
irons of the Manhattan would ever
get Earl says they attained a
height of 5000 feet.
Several fields are now under con-
of Promoter B. Ward
Beam to be used as Aviation fields
this season, and at the beginning
of the first mild days an idle moment
will not be found by Billy Brock, the
ace of the air.

GOV. cox
Blue Sky Law Upheld by High.
est Court in Land
Attorney GeneIaI Turner, Repub-
can, who Made Fight for Law,
Gets Deserved Praise
[ohio State Journal, Jan. 23l

BY decision Of the United States
supreme court yesterday the consti
tutionality of the Ohio blue-sky law
designed to protect the people from
fraudulent securities-the hy-by,
night and get-rich-quick kinG-was
upheld.
The ruling was a staggering blow
to the Geiger-Jones Company of Can.
ton, which has marketed securities
for many millions Of dollars, and a
triumphant vindication of former At
torney General Edward c. Turner.
For a year and a half the company
has been fighting to prevent what
practically would mean custer from
the state. 1t based its case merely
upon technical faults which, its law
yers said existed in the blue-sky law.
Winning out in the lower courts
the company was defeated by Turner
in the nations highest court It's
future status in the state probably
depends upon furher litigation to put
into force the full effect of the blue
sky law. II the company wishes to
continue doing business in Ohio IL
must have a blue-sky license. II had
none during 1916 nor has 1t obtained
"a 1917 license, feeling, no doubt, it
would be successful in knocking out
the law. It's fight now will be to get
a license.
McGhee Would Engage Turner
Attorney General McGhee, in office
only two weeks, announced yesterday
upon receipt of news regarding the
blue-sky case, that he would ask Mr..
Turner to take charge of further pro-
ceedings under the law as special
counsel with full authority to do
whatever is needed to be done. He
said he would assign L. ID. Johnson,
of Urbana, a special counsel in the
attorney generals office, to assist Mr..
Turner.
Mr.. McGhee declared he wanted
Mr.. Turner to handle all develop |
ments So far as he (McGhee) was
concerned, he said the progressive |
policy of Mr.. Turner would be con-
tinued.
Yesterdays supreme court decision |
is one of the most important and far
reaching ever given by the highest /
court with reference to the future of |
this state. The fight made by the |
Geiger-Jones Company to break down
the law attracted national attention,
not only because of the legal points
raised, but by reason of the extensive
and more or less secretive political in
fluence brought to bear in the attack
on one of the most important laws en-
acted during the first Cox admins
tration.
Enlist Politicians
1t has been said that the company
exerted tremendous influence in
helping to defeat Mr. Turner for re-
election last fall and frequntly dur
ing the last year or so, reports have
been heard in Columbus and Wash
ington concerning this or that poll

BUYERS
OF Cotton Seed Meal Advised by Bu-
reau of Inspection to Ask for
Guarantees

The discovery Of shipments of mis-
branded cottonseed meal into Ohio
has led the Bureau of Inspection to
be on the lookout for cottonseed meal
the labels of which overstate the
amount of prtein cntent. Investiga-
ton shows that much of the mis-
branded meal is made from de-linted
cotton seed. The practice of delint-
ing seed has recently become more
general owing to the fact that the lint
thus removed, ordinarily of little val
ue, now demands high price for the
manufacture of munitions. Some of
the manufacturers it is found, al
though the meal is different, are US
ing the old labels, whereas the pro-
duct may contain less protein, the
most important feeding element in
this concentrate.
Several cases based on misbranding
Of cottonseed meal now pending. Ev-
idence of other violations is being
prepared for transmission to the I'M
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture. Action will be taken under the
law and State Officials will cooperate
with the Federal Government in
stamping out the fraudulent practice.
Buyers of Cottenseed Meal should re-
quire Brokers and Shippers to give
them written guarantees in accord
ance with the provisions of the U. S.
Food and Drugs Act that the Meal is
not adulterated or misbranded.

FULL TEXT OF WILSON'S SPEECH
TO THE SENATE
Gentlemen of the Senate:

ION the 18th of December, last, 1
addressed an identic note to the gov
ernments of the nations now at war,
requesting them to state, more def
nitely then had yet been stated
by either group of belligerents, the
terms upon which they would deem
it possible to make peace. 1 spoke
on behalf Of humanity and of the
rights of all neutral nations like our
own, many Of whose most vital in
terests the war puts in constant jeop-
ardy
1.-THE central powers united in a
reply which stated merely that they
were ready to meet their antagonists
in conference to discuss terms Of
peace.
"The entente powers have replied
much more definitely and have stated,
in general terms, indeed, but with
sufficient definiteness to imply details
the arrangements, guarantees and
acts of reparation which they deem to
be the indispensable conditions of a
satisfactory settlement.
1--WE are that much nearer a def
mite discussion of the peace which
shall end the present war. We are
that much nearer the discussion Of
the international concert which must
thereafter hold the world at peace.
In every discussion of the peace that
must end the war it is taken as grant
ed that that peace must be followed
by some definite concert of power
which will make it virtually impos-
sible that any such catastrophe
should ever overwhelm us again. Ev-
cry lover of mankind, every sane and
thoughtful man must take that for
granted.
II have sought this opportunity to
address you because / thought that
owed, it to you, as the council asso-
ciated with me in the final determine
tion of our international obligations,
to disclose to you without reserve, the
thought and purpose that have been
taking form In my mind n regard to
the duty of our government in these
days to come, when 1t will be nee
essary to lay afresh and upon a new

UNCLE SAMMY
Not Such a Bad Fellow After All,
Though He Does Not Go Blow.
ing About IL

The Wanesheld Chronicle tells the
following story concerning the relief
OF a dependent mother, while her
sons are doing army service on the
Mexican border:
When orders came for the Second
regiment to go south to do border
duty among the number were two
brothers, Ira and Os Miller, both un-
der the age df maturity, and the
whole support of a mother and two
younger brothers. When these boys
answered the call the mother was left
to battle the hardships of life alone
with the two little boys, who were
nervy for their age, and accepted any
kind Of work they were able to do
through the summer months to help
keep the wolf from the door Then
fall came and the youngsters were Of
school age, and must attend.
Friends of Mrs. Miller interceded
for her in an effort to have at least
one of her sons returned to her.
Letters were written to the war de-
partment, explaining the situation
here at the boys home, hoping that
something would be done to help cast
away the gloom and brighten what
seemed to be dreary months until the
spring returned again and the little
lads could bring in again their
small earnings. Mrs. Miller had hopes
and faith in the good old U. S. A.
Mrs. Miller has been rewarded and
there is more cheer in her little home
now than there has been since Ira
and Os were called to do duty for
their country on the Mexican border.
The burden has been lifted from Mrs.
Miller's shoulders. On January 5th
this mother received Uncle Sans
voucher for S295.00 and a message
stating that she would receive $50
per month as a mothers pension as
long as the two boys remain in the
service, the pension starting January
1st. This is a pension of S25 per
month for each boy.
The friends of Mrs. Miller are sure
glad to hear of the news of her re-
ceiving this liberal allowance, and
that our country is able and will pro-
tect its widows and orphans in dis
tress caused by the ravages of war
or instances of the present unpleas-
antness down on the border.

President in Remarkable Address

plan the foundations of peace among
nations.
Sees Americas Opportunity.
1t is inconceivable that the people
of the United States should play no
part in that great enterprise. To take
part in such a service will be the OPP
portunity for which they have sought
to prepare themselves by the very
principles and purposes of their pol
ity and the approved practices of
their government ever since the days
when they set up new nation in the
high and honorable hope that it
might in all that it was and did show
mankind the way to liberty. They
can not, in honor, withhold the SER
vice to which they are now about to
withhold it. But they owe 1t to
themselves and to other nations of
the world to state the conditions un-
der which they will feel free to rem
der it.
"That service is nothing less than
this--to add their authority and their
power to the authority and force of
other nations to guarantee peace and
justice throughout the world. Such
settlement can not now be long
postponed. 1t is right that before
it comes this government should
frankly formulate the conditions up
on which it would feel justified in
asking our people to approve formal
and solemn adherence to League for
Peace. l am here to attempt to state
those conditions.
"The present war must first be
ended; but we owe 1t to candor and
to just regard for the opinion of
mankind to say that so far as our
participation in guarantees of future
peace is concerned, it makes a great
deal of difference in what way and
upon what terms it is ended. The
treaties and agreements which bring
it to an end must embody terms
which will create peace that is
worth guaranteeing and preserving,
a peace that will win the approval Of
not merely peace that
will serve the several interests and
aims of the nations engag-
ed. We shall have no voice in deter
mining what those terms shall be, but
we shall, feel sure, have voice in
whether they shall be
lasting or not by the guarantees of
a universal covenant and our judg-
ment upon what is fundamental and
essential as a condition precedent to
permanency should be spoken now,
