This is very painful and
dangerous disease. In almost
every neighborhood someone has
died from it before medicine
could be obtained or physician
summoned. The right way is to
have a bottle Of Chamberlain S
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy in
the house so as to be prepared
for it. Mrs. Charles Enyeart,
Huntington, Ind, writes; Dur
ing the summer OF 1911 two OF
my children were taken sick with
cholera morbus. | used Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy and it gave them i'm

Thomas Melvin Creekmore,
the traffic manager for the South
ern Oil company, who was
located in Baxter Springs and
was looking after the company's

Chicago. Mr.. Creekmore left
Baxter Springs Tuesday for
Tulsa, Okla, from whence will
go to Chicago. The land under
the control of this firm is located
between Blue Mound and Shorts
place. Drilling is being carried
on and as soon as good strikes
are made shafts will be sunk and
mills built to operate the mines.

CARLIH WILL SET
FIRE APPARATUS

BY an order Of the board OF county
commissioners. sitting as town board
for Elko and Carlin, Elko's old fire
apparatus was sold to the town OF Car
lin for the sum OF $500.
J. W. Puett came up from Carlin
this morning and presented a peti
tion to the board, signed by nearly
every resident Of Carlin, asking that
Elko's old fire apparatus be given to
Carlin. After due consideration of the
matter. the board by unanimous vote
decided to sell two hose carts, the
hook and ladder wagon, hose and
other items for the nominal sum OF
5000.
Elko recently installed a modern
triple combination fire engine. and the
old equipment was rendered obsolete
1t is no longer OF use to Elko, but the
board felt that Carlin should be made
to pay a nominal sum for 1t. This
equipment will meet the needs OF Car
lin for many years to come.

INVITATION AS THE
FIRST FATAL MOVE
FIRST DISSENTING VOICE SPEAKS
PROTEST; SAYS PREPAREDNESS
PROPAGANDA uNPATRIoTIc

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE first
dissenting voice heard in congress on
the stand taken by President Wilson
on the new German submarine cam
paign since the break in diplomatic
relations came from Senator Works OF
California today. He delivered a Wig
orous protest against risking war and
be condemned the presidents invita-
tiop TO the other neutrals TO join in
the break. He said this was the first
fatal move yet made by Wilson and
that the next step will plunge us into
a bloody conflict The senator, in his
speech. numerically flayed the propa-
ganda for preparedness which has
been placed so frequently before the
public in the last two years. He says
that this propaganda in favor OF pre-
paredness has prepared the public
mind for the mad course OF entering
unnecessarily into the conflict that we
should do all possible to avoid. He
says the propaganda in favor of pre-
paredness has usually been OF an un-
patriotic nature. and hinted that the
parties responsible thought more OF
the profits that would accrue than
they did OF their country. He said the
war spirit had been insiduously in.
stilled into the minds OF the people.
who will now applaud any means to
bring about war because OF such false
education. and because they have been
led astray mentally. Therefore, he
says. the act of the president is ac-
cepted as courageous and even heroic.
He advised that the wise course Is TO
keep our ships and our citizens out OF
the danger zone. ....

OTHER AEUTRALS
WILL NOT FOLLOW
STATE DEPARTMENT FEELS THE
ISOLATION OF OUR POSITION
IN THE PRESENT CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Feb THAT no
other neutral nation will follow the
lead of the United States in break
ing off diplomatic relations with Ger
many was made certain by information
which reached the state department
today. This view of the situation is
sore disappointment to administra-
ton officials and the disappointment
is most keenly felt in all diplomatic
circles.
This is considered TO be in the ma
ture of desertion of this country by
countries that should be considered
as our staunchest friends.
