individuality and distinctiveness OF
design is noted in the millinery from
the Ellis millinery establishment
here in Celina and this in a large
degree accounts for the extensive
trade of the establishment. All the
millinery for hte Ellis store comes
from the arbiters of fashion of the
east and west and many of the hats
are of rare beauty. Millinery from
this store isn't just ordinary, but has
style of it's own. A large spring
and summer stock is on hands for
the accommodation of the public and
no matter whether it is street, sport
or dress hat in any design that you
desire you can get it here and it will
be becoming and give you caste and
good looks. In the event that they
do not have exactly what you desire,
they can make one up for you accord
ing to your individual ideas.
In this department they exercise
wonderful taste and it is responsible
in a large degree for the excellent
patronage of the place. The principle
upon which the store is operated is
that of furnishing individual and dis
tinctive millinery most reasonably
and meeting any and all competition
as to styles and prices. This accounts
for the fact that the establishment
of Mrs. Kate A. Ellis is the mecca
for well millinered ladies of Celina
and Mercer county.
The Ellis store occupies a fine
buildin gthat was designed especial
ly for it's home and is fitted with all
the up-to-date fixtures for the proper
display o fthe most up-to-date line
of millinery in western Ohio We are
pleased in this Prosperity Edition to
point to this representative establish
ment as one of the distinctive fea
lures of the life of Celina.

the opinion of French military ex-
perts that the sending of such force
is advisable.
Admiral Chocneprat. representing
the French navy, saw Admiral Ben
son, chief Of operations, today. Mar
shal Joffre, accompanied by his Staff,
will go to the army war college this
evening and at the same time Ad-
miral Chocheprat will visit the navy

visit the United States supreme court.
There were other conference dur
ing the day between American and
French experts on military, naval,
financial and commercial questions.
1t is considered probable that unless
present plans are disturbed. the con-
ferences may be concluded by next
Tuesday.
Several members of the French
are most anxious to visit
some Of the larger American cities
and some of the historic spots con-
nected with American history. If or
Dortunity presents itself, they may
visit Philadelphia, New York, Chi

Measures to cope with the cnn

by German submarines will be among
the first questions taken UP by the
British and French commissions. Tne
0nly means open to France and Great

What Will Happen to All the Dande.
lion and Wild Grape Wine
Manufactured?

Peace officers advise that a very
close watch is being kept .of families
who have in the past made a practice
of manufacturing a little wine each
fall for home consumption. Under the
liquor laws of 1913, the manufacture
Of vinous as we'll as all other spiri-
tuous and malt liquors is expressly
prohibited, and the husbandman
found guilty of violating this provi-
sion is subject to fine of not less
than 5000 nor more than $1,000, or
imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than 80 days nor more than one
year or both fine and imprisonment.
The Missouri river bottoms this
year are one mass of wild grapes,
choke cherries and bu1lberries, all of
which possess more or less virtue
when fermented into wine. Wagon
loads of this fruit have been brought
into town in years past by people
who have made from it light wines
for their own use. This year they are
advised that the practice is not only
a violation of the state laws but of
the federal statutes as we'll, and that
all violators will be prosecuted with
out regard to person or precedent.

Vaccination is Ordered

The compulsory vaccination Of
school children will be required this
year of all children before entering
school, Section 425 of the compiled
Laws of 1913 reads as follows: Each
parent, of guardian having the care,
custody or control of any minor or
other person shall cause such minor
or other person to be vaccinated."
The state board of heath under re-
cent ruling fixes the time by stipula-
ting that all children shall be vaccin-
ated before being admitted to school.
School directors and teachers are
ordered to enforce this regulation in
their respective districts by requiring
every pupil to submit certificate of
vaccination to the teacher before ad-
mittance is granted to attend school.

STORING VEGETABLES
FOR WINTER UsE

The best conditions of winter stpr,
age differs somewhat for the Different
vegetables. Beets, carrots and phr.
snips dry out readily. Packing In moist
sand and keeping at a temperature
just above freezing is an ideal condi;
tion. Onions keep best spread out an
thin layers in boxes in a dry but cool
atmosphere. These vegetables Will
keep better if dried in the sum before
storing and select only those free from
cuts and bruises. Squashes and pump
kins keep best where 1t is dry and the
thermometer about so. Cabbages keep
best in temperature just above freez-
ing, but at the same time moist.
It is important that good ventiIa-
tion be provided where the vegetables
are stored. The cellar is the emost
common storage place, II 1t. contains
a furnace it will be too warm for
most vegetables, unless room is par.

COUNTY RECORD THAT WILL
T.. BE HARD, TO BEAT

Louisville Courier-Jurnal: So far as
heard from Larue county, in this
state, holds the banner under the
operation of the select draft law.
Larues quota for the new army
under that law is 1872 men. Every
one of the first 1872 called promptly
answered and appeared before the
board. Every one of them met the
physical requirements. Not one Of
them asked exemption, and every
one Of them. was accepted for service.
Match that record If you can.
Is there another county in all the
United States that can answer this
challenge?
