And Spain. Tool

Although neutral Spain may not be
in the war, the Spaniards r certainly
in it. The French have been perfectly
well aware that hundreds of Span
iards Joined the Foreign Legion, at the
beginning Of the war; SO that Paris
was not taken the least by surprise
when 800 Spanish soldiers paraded in
French uniform to receive decorations
for valor. The Spanish colony patrt-
otically welcomed them with fiery
speeches, while the French loaded them
with medals. Three received the re-
ward of the Legion of Honor, and
scores the Croix Militaire and the
Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strict
1y legal point of view, the Spanish
leg~ionaries have imperiled their ma
tion's neutrality, 1t will be interesting
to know what Berlin will have to say
about 1t; or rather about the 90 sink
ings of Spanish ships and the Sc pro-
tests made by Spain, which friendly
Germany has consistently ignored

Sales and Pledges of War
Certificates is $4,000

the First ward of Wildwood is to be
compIimented on the number of indi-
pledges received in the recent
drive 10 the sale of war savings stamps.

lowing is the report by districts:
The First ward secured 8s8 pledges,
the amount totaling Sc. 1866
The Second ward secured 142 pied
ges, or a total Of 81, 944.00.
The Third ward secured 179 pledges,
or a total of So, 204 SO.
st. AIMS r. c.. church 107 pledges,
or So, 1856. so.
Wildwood Crest 1O6 pledges, a total
of 81. 444. so.
Total pledged In Wildwood and
Wildwood Crest amounts to $20,6l6.
Mrs. w. g. Gross worked very hard
to make 1t a success and deserves much
credit.
The captains were as follows:
First Ward, Mrs. q. G. Eidredge.
Second Ward, Mrs. Albert r.
Austin.
Third Ward, Mrs. ". HI. Bright.
Wild wood Crest, Mrs. Glenn l.
Folsom.
st. AIMS Church, Father Moroney.
In addition to the pledges reported
above there were several who had
pledged before, and the solicitors did
not understand that they were to take
the pledge also In this drive, in which
case we would have known just how
much was pledged for the balance OF
the year. 1t is believed with this ad-
dition the figures would be above
$50, 900.
1t might be interesting to know how
some of the streets responded.
For example, Andrew and Taylor
avenues, solicited by Mrs. Pierpont,
accounted for 10 Individual pledges,
amounting to $5,258. A few other
streets did we'll, while some or several
streets only accounted for as low as
three and up to ten individual pledges,
with total amounts from 1874 up to $75
for a whole street. We are quite sure
that people residing 10 the latter Sec
tion would feel much hurt to look over
these reports. and yet 1t Is fully be-
lieyed it is for the reason that the war
savings campaign Is not fully under
stood and appreciated.
Those persons feeling that they could
have pledged something or could have
pledged more, can do 60 by applying
to letter carriers or to the war savings
booth on the board walk, or to the I'M
dersigned. The boardwalk booth Is
only open evenings.
The chairman wishes to thank the
folio wing: Mrs. Gross, the Wildwood
captain; the district captains, the So
licitors for their house to house can
vsss, the preachers for the interest
shown, and individuals who pledged
to do away with non-essentials and
save and invest all they could save
during the rest Of the year In war
savings stamps.

persons were suspected of dislOyalty
were rounded up last night and forced
to kiss the flag. Peter Heine, q mer-
chant, was forced to kiss each star
in the flag.
Heine saw the crowd coming and
fled to the house of neighbor where
he hid in the basement. Before flee
ing he gave an alarm of fire; and the
arrival of the fire department brought
out great crowd of spectators. They
followed the mob to the house where
Heine was hiding and forced him to
come out by threatening to turn the
fire hose on him.
The demonstration last night be-
gan after a fight in q saloon between
two men in q war argument. After
the mob had formed it went to an
other saloon, smashed in the door
and forced the proprietor to kiss the
flag and to discharge his bartender. =.

was reported that he had threatened
to tear q Red Cross badge from a

HOW TO FIGHT MENINGITIS
Affection of Nose and Throat Give
Germs of Dread Disease q Chance
to Enter the System

In discussing the recent cases of
spinal meningitis in this vicinity, a
leading physician last night remarked
that u cold in the head may offer the
dread disease q chance to strike. The
germs enter the system through the
membranes of the nose or throat.
Influenza and laryngitis, and other
affections which inflame and weaken
these membranes, therefore should
not be neglected.
Both diseases, influenza in particu-
lar, are prevalent in unusual numbers,
the physician said, and this may ex-
plain the development of so many
cases of meningitis.
As u means of preventing spinal
meningitis, high authorities have re-
commended spraying the nose and
throat with a normal saline solution
teaspoonful Of common salt being
dissolved IN pint oil water. ANY all
ment which weakens the membranes
should receive immediate attention.
The first symptoms of meningitis is
pain in the back Of the head and neck
Vomiting is also present in many
cases. When the disease is Of the
malignant type, the patient soon be,
comes unconscious and the entire
spinal column becomes rigid. In it,
first stages the disease is hard to dis.
tinguish from smallpox.
At the first appearance of pro.
nounced symptoms, physician should
he called. Life in most cases depends
on correct diagnosis and prompt

FOR
ALL ELEVATORS
That Is What Grain Dealers As
sOciatiOn viii Discuss at
Their Annual Meeting
May 2S and 20

Protection for the country elevator
man is to be one Of the chief topics
for discussion by the grain men of
Kansas, who are expected to come
from all parts of the state for the
twenty-first annual meeting Of the
Kansas Grain Dealers Association in
Topeka May 20 and 20. Cooperation
will be the only solution Of the prob
lens with which the grain dealers are
confronted, according to Z. ]. Smiley,
secretary of the association. He points
out that on July l, the minimum price
of 81 will be placed on wheat from the
grower. Should there be a short crop
in the southwest 1t is said that the
demand for Kansas wheat will in
crease, and unless some way is de-
vised by which the grain men can
handle a part Of the wheat now being
bought direct by the mills, the grain
men will be forced out Of business.
1--WE are only asking for fair mar
gin of profit for the use of facilities
and time" said Mr.. Smiley in an
nouncing the annual meeting Of the
association. "The profits as placed by
the grain corporation are not ade-
quate to warrant continued opera
ton"
An extensive program is being pre-
pared for the convention. One even
ing will be given over to entertain
ment. A representative Of the grain
corporation will probably be in at
tendance at the convention in order
to answer the hundred and one ques-
tions which the grain men are plan
ming to ask, regarding the future Of
the grain business.

Kidney Pills are most effective.

secretions bothered me by passing ir-

ONTARIO SHELTER TO
Be COMPLETED APRIL |
Big Smelter at Ontario Is Near.
ing Completion and Will BE
Ready for Operation
Early in April

The first smelter in the Oklahoma
mining field will be completed and
ready to begin operations not later
than April /, according to those in
lerested in this enterprise.
This smelter will have a capacity
Of 1000 tons of lead week. 1t is
being built by the Ontario Smelling
company, composed almost entirely
of Canadian investors, and is located
about two miles north of Quapaw.
The company bought 40 acres OF
decided land for the plant, and two
buildings have been erected, each
with a separate plant. 1t was the
intention of the company to erect
only a 500-ton plant, but before the
first unit was we'll under construction,
it was decided to double the capacity
Of the plant.
Only lead will be reduced at this
plant, and gas fuel will be used. To
establish a zinc smelter would re-
quire an enormous expenditure,
while the fuel situation in the dis
trict is such as to be practically pro-
hibitive.
1t is currently reported that the
Greening interests, which have large
holdings in the Picher field, contem-
plate the erection of u smelter. 1t is
not known whether they will put in
zinc smelling plant, but it is said
they probably will, if they can be as
sured of u sufficient supply of fuel Of
the right kind. It is said the coal
from the Welch field is suitable for
smelling purposes, but transpOrta-
tion is difficult. If railroad is built
through Miami to Welch, tapping the
coal field, it is probable this will open
the way for a zinc smelter.
When the Ontario smelter is COM
pleted the company will enter the
market for ore, and it is believed this
plant will be an incentive to increase
the production of those mines which
have a good run Of lead.

SMALLPOX REPORTED
BAD NOW At GALENA
Man Found on Strets of That
Town Broken Out With
Disease and Many 9th
er Cases Reported

The Galena Evening Times of yes
terday says:
Several new cases of smallpox
have been reported within the past
few days. There are now over fifty
cases of the disease in town, in most
places several of the family being
sick at the same time.
"Much of the cause for the inabil-
ity of the physiciOns to completely
stamp out this disease is the extreme
carelessness of those having the dis
case.
"As a certain Galena citizen was
walking along one of our side streets
last evening he met a man just COM
ing into town who was badly broken
out with the smallpox. Needless to
say the Galena man got out Of the
way as quickly as possible and report
ed the case to the authorities.
"This man doubtless passed many
on the way, exposing many with
whom he came in contact. 1t is such
carelessness and reconsideration Of
others as this man showed that is
causing the physicians so much
trouble and is keeping the disease
alive for so long,"

general character of the town as
place to live in.
If a community has good public
institutions and advantages, if it is
progressive and open to new ideas,
if it is neatly and attlactively kept
up, its reputation will spread a long
distance as a bright and advancing
place. The man who contcmplates a
change of business location will be
apt to inquire about a town Of this
kind. He will be attracted by the
good schools for his children, the
helpful and pleasant associations
found there. If he can get any fav-
orable business deal, he will choose
that kind of town over a less attrac-
tive one that offered a little better
financial inducements.
A reputation Of this kind is not to
be made by spasmOdic efforts. It
takes community spirit and town
loyalty -over a period Of years. Peo-
pie must sink personal ends and fac
tional differences and all work to-
gether for one purpose. When they
do that, you can't set any limits to
the growth Of that community.
