Children Cry
FOR FLETcHER'S
casio RIA
PALESTINE.

Saturday was quite a busy day
for Palestine. A nrocessioa head
ed by Uncle Sam paraded to the
court house and presented a Pc
tition to the county commission
ers asking them to change the
name of our township to Liberty
township. Many also went to
see our boys off to learn to fight
for Uncle Sam and the freedom
of the world.
What about a veteran of the
Civil war, drawing $50 a month
pension, and bitterly opposed to
aiding. In any manner, the boys
who now stand between us and
destruction? What about a dol
lar contributor. who has an ex-
cuse that he pays income tax?
The Red Cross will meet at
Mrs. Agnes Ketring's on next
Friday afternoon.
The date for the Disciples
Children's Day has been changed
to June 9:

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, May q. Especial
Correspondence } In the home
city of Senator Warren G. Hard
ing Of Ohio a federal agent has
recently vetoed a proposition Ito
re-surfsce the main street, and
has also prevented the building
OF q new hotel that required a
bond issue of 100000. The city
has q population of $4,000 and
the satisfactory use Of the street
in question is, in Mr.. Harding's
opinion, ten times more import
ant to commerce than a score of
the small river Improvements an
nually carried in the river and
harbor appropriation bill, and
which have reappeared this year.
Mr.. Harding believes that in the
matter of economy the govern
ment should be consistent, and
not insist on a limitation of ex-
pendlture of money raised by
taxation in a local community |
while it is spending federal funds |
to maintain river projects in the |
South. He has offered an amend |
nent to the river and harbor bill |
Intended to limit new projects to
hose declared by the War de-
oartment to be war necessities,
md to prevent a continuance of
work on old projects unless it
an be carried on at an increase
n cost of less than 80 per cent
'ver that of last year.

OUTLOOK IS EXCELLENT
For the Adoption Of the State ProhlbI-
tion Amendment In November.

Columbus, OhiO.-Leaders in the
campaign to vote Ohio dry in NOvem-
her are much gratified over the out
look. They report an optimistic spirit
among workers and a determination
on the part Of the people to close the
breweries and saloons and save man

a feeling that the beer business is
more or less prO-German and that
the patriotic thing to do is to get
rid Of it.
The petitions to initiate the Prohi-
bitiOn amendment are in the hands of
the County Dry Organizations, and in
many Of the counties they are being
circulated and the voters are anxious
to sign Many former vets are said

CONGRESSMAN C. Frank Reavis
of Nebraska took a leading part
in the passage Of the prohibition
bill for the tsgtitO.Y of Hawaii.
Mr.. Reavis has recently visited
the islands. and has talked per-
sonally with the natives. He
states that at the present time
there is less than one fourth the
native population of the islands
there was in 1882. Mr.. .Reavis
believes that the liquor traffic is
largely responsible for that con-
dition of affairs, and that we owe
it to the islands to remove the
curse that we gave them when
the United States introduced its
to the Inhabitants.
The effect of the Congressman's
appeal to his colleagues was man.
ifested in the vote by which the
proposition was adopted by the
House, 238 to 40.

statement by the department.
Despite the great acceleration in
the sending of American forces
to France, no infantryman goes
aboard ship without a United

Enfield), bayonet. belt, haver-
sack, pack carrier, bandoleers,
bayonet scabbard, and full mess

cause of the present necessity of
increasing the transport of infan-

Sufficient supplies of artillery

AMERICAN MERCHANTS
TAKE OVER INTERESTS
OF GERMAN FUR MEN

TAKE OVER INTERESTS
OF GERMAN FUR MEN
Arrangements are being com.
pleted by which the interests OF
German fur men. amannting to
several millions Of dollars, willbe
purchased by American mer-
chants and the money thus paid
turned into the treasury.
Before the war broke in Eu-
rope, according to a statement is
sued by the Alien Property Gus
todian. the trade of American
furriers was practically nothing
but a collecting and shipping ag-
ency for the Germans. Almost
every pelt taken by American
trappers went to Leipzig before
it could be sold. Although Lon
don was the worlds market,
three quarters of the fur shipped
to London from America. Russia.
and even China, went to Leipzig
for dressing and dyeing.
. The Leipzig dressers and dyers
were recognized as the best in
the world. Each year after the
fur was prepared and German
merchants had fixed the price,
Americans were allowed to pur-
chase as much as three-fifths of
the years output for manufact-
ure into garments, but in SO do
ing they were forced to pay the
original cost. expense of dress
ing and dyeing, a big profit to the
Germans, and a 80 per cent duty.
before the furs were returned toI
America.
The war deprived Germany of
the chance to purchase fur inl
London. and limited the supply
from America now also entirely |
cut off. In New York American
dyeing houses are actually Operat-
ing. and In st. Louis sealskinsI
have been dyed successfully. |
According to the Alien Property
Custodian. when the readiust-
mept is completed and the Ger
man interests have been taken
over by Americans. furs for Eu-
rOpean consumption will bel
bought ia the American market.

No Use For Wet Town.


Uncle Sam does not have much use
for wet town. He maintains q dry
zone about training camps, demands
that wet towns near soldier stations
clean up or shut up their saloons, and
prohibits the selling or giving Of
giving of liquor to soldiers in uni
form.
Now the government has issued
new army order which says soldiers
in truck companies must camp out
side wet towns. This prevents such
companies being entertained in towns
if those towns tolerate saloons.
And yet some people do not seem
to realize that Prohibition is Q part
of the war program.
