A GREAT SERMON.

On last Sunday at the moning ser
vice Dr. Rogers preached tellin:
sermon from the text, "Henceforth lie
no man trouble me, for | bear in my
body the marks of the Lord Jesus
Gal 6-l7.
DR.. Rogers said in substance:
Paul was the leader OF the advance
guard OF human progress. AS such h
ha dto bear the marks OF calumn,
opposition and suffering for the caus.
of God and humanity. Every ma;
who takes his place in the ranks
truth and of service for the race has
to bear such scars.
First, there are the scars of tn,
Lord Jesus, the type OF purity and un
selfishness, of insight and devotion
The low souled men OF his day marke'
him with the venom of their hatret
nd the herceness OF their antago
ism. His torn body and suffering
:oul mark the extent TO which seliisI
.eligionists and the established class
= will go TO defend their doctrine
md to preserve their interests.
There are the scars OF the soldier
he man who faces the machine gu.
splitting death or the cannon vomiting
destruction. He charges the line, 10
| God and home and Lative land, hold
ing his safety, and even his life, will
ing price for the protection OF thos
near and dear to hi1i.
There are the scars OF the man an
woman, faithful in life's smaller DIT
ties; scars of struggle, failure, c
heartbreak. not for themselves alone
Or their families, but for country, SC
,iety. and the community in whic
they live. Many OF the bravest work
ers for truth and righteousness are on
next door neighbors, engaged in hun
BILE tasks, without hope OF reward O
expectation of honor
There are the scars of the worlC
in which virtue is held the pre-
Of passion; industry the prey of greed
and character the victim OF SANDER.

There is one phase OF the registra
ton law that is OF especial interest
1t is the requirement that among the
others. the Indians shall register, ant
be subject to the draft 1t is altogether
possible that quite few OF them vii
be called to the colors.
There is every reason to believe
that this will work a revolution i'll the
general opinion OF these wards of the
nation. Most peaople of the more
thickly settled portions OF our country
have learned what little they know
or think they know, concerning Tho
Indians, from the movies and cheal
romances. When the real men OF thu
one race come in contact with TIL
real men of the other, there will be
better understanding of the Indian, hi
disposition and ability, and NOR
generous estimate OF his character.
Then il is to be expected that tn
experience of serving the country wi
have a beneficial effect on the India
himself. The drill and discipline car
not help but generate an appreciate
of order and coordination, and paI
ticipation in the defense of his cour
try will make him feel that it is sti
his country and thereby help to f
him for citizenship.
1t is barely possible that this wa
so unselfsh and unreasonable in its OF
igin, may have beneficial effect, i
more ways than one, and this ma
be one of them.

JUDGE BLANCHARD
HOLDS COURT

On Monday Arthur Antoine was up
,efore Judge Blanchard for disturbin
he peace. He had been dunk and dis
orderly and was arrested by Il
Bergman. He was found guilty and
fined ten dollars and costs, which he
paid. He was a sadder and a wiser
man and filled with good resolutions
when the redoubtable Judge had fin
shed with him.
At the same session Ida Fatty Few
clothes. squaw, was fined $2l5 for
being drunk. The judge was disillu-
stoned by this case. He has always
believed that women want to talk,
but he couldn't persuade Ida to save
his pet theory.
On Thursday Elwood Luce OF Lud
wig was brought before the Judge for
exceeding the speed limit. The young
man was found guilty and fined $40
The judge considers fast driving dan
gerous, and lectured the offender in
addition to imposing the fine The
young man had been warned several
times, but the warnings were I'M
needed The fine was the minimum,
as it was his first trial, but the judge
felt that measures must be taken to
make the streets of our town safe for
pede strians of all ages.
At the Friday morning session
George Barrett was up for travelling
on the wrong side OF the street and
not needing the officer when spoken
to. His disregard for lawful authority
and the city ordinances cost him $40.
which he promptly paid.

BUY A LIBERTY BOND.

When the women of the county me
in Mason last Saturday they showed
what can be done. The occasion was
the annual reciprocity meeting of the
Women's Clubs of the county. They
talked about the things that are OF
importance to all OF us, had a good
visit, a good eat, and a good time ali
around.
1t seems that these women are solv.
ing one OF the problems of the day
that is, how to get together. If the
men could do something OF the same
sort and would talk over the thing:
they want and are willing to get in lin,
for. it would mean wonderful ad
vance in the next few years for this
part of the world.

We want to thank our friends fol
many kind words and our patrons 70.
the new subscriptions and job work
but just now we especially appreci
ate the contribution OF an article this
week on the subject OF caring for Il ,
waste water. This is matter OF vita
interest for the future OF our parl
of the country, and we could not d,
better than Get Together and d.
something final. A good natured CT.
operation would solve the problem fo'
all time and save the feelings tina,
grow out of law suits and crimina
prosecutions, some of which are sur,
to be started if the present state o
things keeps up.
To some of us the proposition Il
take care of our supplies has seemed
a rather small thing to suggest for
the good of the nation The follow
ing computation throws some light
on the importance of it.

There are l00000,000 people in Il e
United States; the war time ration for
a soldier is three pounds day. II
each Of the one hundred millions saves
one ounce day of what would 9th
erwse be wasted, it will amount to
6,250,0G0 pounds per day. or enough
to fully provision 2.0S3000 men
All great achievements, in their las;
analysis, are but the successful appli-
cation OF comomn sense, and while
many of MS cannot contribute largely
or distinguish ourselves by conspicu-
Gus service. we can all do this. So
let our motto be. SAVE THAT

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
 FREIGHT CONGESTION
Placed on Transportation Conditions in
 the Middle West.

New York, Feb. 16.-Transportation conditions in the section west of Buff falo and Pittsburgh, extending to the Mississippi river, are chiefly responsi- ble for the freight congestion through out the country, and not partial paral- ysis of shipping resulting from German submarine activities, F. E. Thomas, president of the Lehigh Valley rail- road, asserted today. He said that road is now in better condition to handle freight than at any time since last winter.
 Were it not for the embargoes placed by the lines west of Buffalo," Mir. Thomas declared, we would be able to accept and handle promptly all carload freight for destination beyond our lines. The embargoes placed by these lines, however, have compelled us to refuse to receive such shipments.
 Because of the inability of our western connections to accept business from us in a normal way he added, we are holding a great many cars for them in our Buffalo territory. We are handling less than carload freight for the west currently, although the plac- ing of embargoes on this class of freight by other eastern lines may di- vert such a quantity of this business to our line as to compel uS- also to embargo it for the time being"

TURKEY WILL FIGHT TO
 DEATH FOR coNsTANTINoPLE
Declaration Made by the New Turkish
 Grand Vizier.

London, Feb. 16, $50 D. m-Turley will fight to the last man to retain Constantinople, declared Talaat Bey, the new Turkish grand vizier, in 2 statement before the chamber on the policy of the new cabinet, according to Constantinople telegram forward ed by Reuters Amsterdam cores pondent. After referring to the sac rifices Turkey had already made, Ia laat Bey said:
 We begin our labors in full con- sciousness of the heavy responsibility we are assuming Our country, which always has been exposed to external difficulties, has found itself compelled to make sacrifices such as our past had never known.
 Our enemies have declared their in- tenticn of Ihrusting us back into the depths of Asia Minor. turning us out of Constantinople and driving us from the straits. To these ridiculous at the Dardanelles as the result of the defeat inflicted upon them by our va liant army. we reply that we shall not reHnQu1Sh COnStantinople as long as there Is a single Ottoman left.
 We shall persevere in this gigan- tic struggle in close fraternity of arms with our brave and victorious allies until we have compelled our enemies to recognize our rights to existence That is our aim"
 It was impossible in the present great crisis to undertake important in- ternal reforms, Talaat Bey declared. as the efforts of the nation must be concentrated on the difficulties created by the war.
 The chamber passed a unanimous vote or confidence in the government.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO
 BOOST PRICE OF COAL.
Coal Brokers and Spectators Taking Advantage of Re- Consignment Rule.

Columbus, O., Feb. 16.-That coal brokers and spectators, taking advan- tage of the e-consignment rule and re -consigning coal from one point to another, holding it for the highest bid- der are responsible in a large measure for the coal shortage and car conges- tion, was the charge made before the public utilities commission of Ohio, which began today public hearing on the coal situation, with representatives of the state and federal government and the interstate commerce commis- sion in attendance.
 At the outset of the hearing Chair man Hughes of the commission de- clared the commission had informal tion that certain people have been guilty of indictabIe offenses" in connection with the car situation and that there has been criminal conspiracy to pre- vent the prompt delivery of coal"
 Without mentioning names of brok- CTS, Supt. G. w. Thompson of the De- troit, Toledo and Ironton railroad gave instances of the re-consignment of coal cars over that road, where the cars were re-consigned until they retur- to the original sender. This. he said, in his opinion, amounted to a conspir- acy to boost prices. Other railroad representatives, told of abuses of the re-consignment rules and recommend ed that the rule be suspended.

 Germans Gain Ground.
 South of Ripont between Tahure and Cernay, was the scene of the German success. Most of the ground gained was contained in the Maisons de Champagne farm and an Hill 1S5, which lies about one-t third of a mile south of the farm. The latest French official statement mentions only ar tillery activity in the vicinity of Maisons de Champagne and declares there was no infantry activity there. Berlin's supplementary report men tIonS no further activity in Champagne.
 Except for raids by British, French and German troops at various points along the front in France, and two small engagements in Galicia, there has been no important infantry fight ing on the other battlefieIds. Officj~ communications report much aerial SS.- tivity on the western front

commissions investigation of the in- dustry. The administration has shown the keenest interest in the proceedings and it was said today Secretary Me- Adoo's aid had made possible the re- suit. President Wilson has watched the situation since the trade comm3s- sion began it's inquiry eight months ago.
 Trust Violations Alleged.
 The investigation was put under way last summer under a resolution adopted by the senate. Information gathered tending to show trust viola tions was turned over to the justice department, while all bearing on economic phases of the situation was collated by the commission. At hear ings held last fall and as late as Jan uary, the manufacturers, it ig said, discouraged the commissions efforts to find a solution for prohibitiva prices. After the grand jury proceed ings were started they came voiuna tarily to Washington with their prop osition.
 Will Save Publishers saO,ooO,oOo This
 Year.
 It is estimated that if the proposal is accepted and reasonable prices are fixed, at least $30,O0O,0O0 will be saved to American publishers this year. Nothing is said of increased produc- tion, but 1t is understood the manufac- turers are willing to keep enough ma chimes on news print to insure a pa- per supply for the entire country.
 2 1-2 Gents a Pound in Canada.
 It was learned today that the Cana dian government will under Order-iu- Council fix a maximum price of two and one half cents a pound on news print sold to Canadian publigherE. leaving the price to be charged Amer jeans to be determined in this c1uu- try. The two governments have work ed in concert in the situation trying to find means of averting threatened disaster to publishers.

BELIEVES AMERICAN PEOPLE
 SHOULD ENTER WAR NOW
Douglas w. Johnson, Member of the
 American Rights League.

New York. Feb. 16.-In reply, to a recent speech in congress by Repre- sentative Moore of Pennsylvania, at tackfng the American Rights League for urging formal recognition by the president "of the state of war already existing" between this country and Germany, Douglas W. Johnson, the leagues executive committee chair man, issued here today a statement declaring that the organization s'be- lieves the American people should en- ter war without any more twatchfuI waiting"
 -Tt considers it cowardly, dishonor- able and dangerous for this great na- ton to stand selfShly aside while oth- CTS fight to subdue the submarines that have attacked our ships, killed our citizens and blockaded our coast, !" MT. Johnson said. '1t believes the present war is a contest between au- tocratic nnilitarism and human liber- ties and that the place of America to- day. as it has been in the past, is by the side of those who battle for lfb- erty."
Norwich bulletin., 1917-02-17

Washington, Feb. 16.-News print paper manufacturers, facing criminal prosecution in United States courts for alleged combination in restraint of trade, proposed to the federal trade commission today that it fix q req sonable price for the output of the principal plants of the United States and Canada. The commission an- under consideration and would reply immediately. It is generally believed the answer will be an acceptance. |: Victory for Publishers.
 The action of the manufacturers gives a signal victory to American newspaper publishers, who in the face of advancing paper prices, have seen nothing ahead but ruin for many of their number. If the proposal is ac- cepted, officials say, it will mark an expansion oc the functions of the gov ernment which in arbitrating the diff ferences between two industries opens up d wide field of possibilities for the future.
 Will Avert Criminal Prosecutions.
 Although nothing has been said con- corning the continuance of grand jury proceedings in New York, it is well understood the manufacturer move was predicated on the assumption that there would be no criminal prose cutions. The manufacturers, in their proposal, while denying there had been any violation of the law, agree that the trade commission. if it finds it necessary, may make necessary rec concentrations for such changes in the business of print paper manufa cture that the industry may maintain it's reanizatiopy mana cement and con- duct of business in accordance with the law"
 Several Days of Conference.
 The announcement came after sev- eraI days of conference between rep resentatives of manufacturers who make enough of the continents print paper to control the market, and at torncys for the commission, headed by Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco who was retained especially for the
