such liberties with a bull dog. That
our country was not an aggressive ma
ton but that We should be ready to
oppose the nation that is aggressive.
On the fourth point in his lecture is
where Governor Patterson really
warmed to his subject and that was in
the prohibition question being a ma
tional proposition. He said that mo
longer does a speaker for prohibition
have to answer arguments because
there are no arguments for the liquor
manufacture or traffic. No one any
longer defends it; there never lived a
man whom it helped even in the small
est degree. Civilization has outgrown
it. In this nation in the beginning we
did not have religious liberty every
where, franchise was not universal,
and we had humtn slavery. AL that is
gone and sore day, please G7d. this
nation is going to be safe and sane
and sober" He sail he wished that

SEES CAUSE OF
GLASS IN ROAD
Joy Riders Throwing Bottles Out of
Cars to Blame, According to
BeIknap Boulevard
Resident

A resident of Belknap boulevard
has a solution for the presence Of
the glass in the road along this high
way. He thinks it is the accumu-
lation of bottles thrown out by JOY
riders, which have become broken by
vehicles passing over the road. He
also thinks that the dragging of the
highway and making crown in the
center has had the tendency to draw
the broken glass into the center and
that this dry spell coupled with a
south wind has blown all of the dust
off of the glass.
Beer bottles and whiskey bottles
all empty-line the boulevard on both
sides, according to the residents, who
are blaming joy riders carelessness
rather than any deliberate attempt
to throw glass into the highway.

ated some things which he said should
be governed by uniform national laws.
First the appropriation of public mon

nation in the world without national
budget; second, the nation should

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare
full quarter pint of the most won
derfuI lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and
beaut;fier.
Just try it, Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from any grocer and
make up a quarter pint Of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion ana
massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. IL should
naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is truly mar
velous to smoother rough, red
hands.

CAPTAIN Vickers showed clip OF

SPOT" he declared "Such is not the
case with bullets of the allies
IF we had to face the days of un-
preparedness again, we would not
hesitate to go back and fight all over
again." Captain Vickers declared.
I'VE welcome America, not because
she has ten million men to give, but
because of the moral support. When
the first American blood is spilled 1t
will cement a friendship never to be
disturbed. 1t will be a privilege for

the slough bridge between Hamilton
junction and the Keokuk and Hamil-
ton bridge last night by City Marshal

It is said that a number of the bonds
were found in his pockets and that he
had a gunny sack partly filled with
them.
Munson spent the night in the Ham

animation and was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury and

about year ago and served six
months In the Carthage Jail.
The copper bonds are used to con-
meet the rails of the tracks so that
there is no break in power when the
interurban goes over the line. Bonds
have been disappearing from the
tracks for some time, it is reported.

Franco-BaIkan Band Good.
The best musical organization
which has yet appeared on the plat
form this week IS the Franco-Balkan
band which appeared in prelude to
both programs yesterday and last
night. They appear in native cos

strument of sweetness and power.
The plaintive Hawaiian music is
mingled with classical gems and pat
riotic selections in splendid pro-
gram.
To close the prelude yesterday
afternoon the band played Dixie.
Last night they played medley OF
national airs, and then observing the
proper custom, stopped for minute,

Governor Patterson Speaks.
Malcolm R. Patterson, former gov

in the evening on "The Mind Of Ma
ton" His speech was a gem from an
oratorical standpoint, his language
was very choice, he did not ramble or
repeat himself but argued his premise
to n logical conclusion. His plea was
for this nation to decide upon a time
of action in dealing with national prob
lens and then to act as a nation on
those problems. He said our senators
and congressman, men who sit in our
great national law making body are
rot thinking in terms Of a nation but
they are working for new postoftice
building in their home town. Several
times he paid very high tribute to
President Wilson and his wisdom and
ability. He said that his father was
colonel on the confederate side in the
war between the states, that all of his
kinsmen who were old enough to car
ry rifle wore the suit Of gray. every
one of them fought for states rights
but the question was settled by the
clash of steel and musketry. / want

tary purposes the mere novice would
tell you was of no Value. We held
1t, and we still will hold it, that AL
bert, king of the Belgians, and his
brave queen shall have one strip of
land they can call theirs. 1t was
while holding this strip we captured
a Fritz who told us if the wind were
favorable they would use gas. We
secuted the idea, but two days later
1t came. We fell back, and our men
dropped in their tracks. Some were
dead, some died later and many lin
gered cursing the doctors and nurses
IN their agony, the only time men
ever cursed them. And then the
Germans crucified two Canadians to
trees. That was enough. Without
orders those splendid Canadians
waded in and took back the trenches
and captured again all of the guns
we had left. But they took no pris-
oners--the only day the Canadians
took no prisoners.
"And that, my friends, was your
warlike neighbor to the north Do
you realize what you have been liv-
ing neighbor to, and you without a
gun to protect your frontier. Or per-
haps it's the Canadians who should
be afraid of you; perhaps they should
have. forts and barriers along that
long stretch of boundary" The audi
ence grasped the significance Of the
sarcasm and fairly rocked the tent
with their applause or "our warlike
ueighbor."

way to feel the thrill of going into |

tain Vickers said. I'VE would carry
a few rem entrances, and would leave
them. We would have most de-
lightful time, too, until someone pass
ed the word that Fritz's friends were
coming. Then we would leave, it is
always polite to go when there are
other callers, you know, and invite
Fritz over to see us. The worst
fights of the war have occurred on
No Mans land. l tell you, putting up
barbed wire entanglements should not

the lot Of the pacifists, the slackers
