Beer Shortage.

Beer Shortage.
The British war cabinet, with an eye
bn the shortage of beer as q cause Of
industrial unrest and the consequent
Increased demand for spirits, has de-
cided to allow the release from bond

COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO

Disloyalty in the County.

The Bates County Council OF De

I3o p. m. Saturday, April 18th, 1913,

That the Chairman and Secretary

the county into Twelve Districts,
consisting OF two townships each.
that committee be formed from
each district, composed of four men
from each OF the two townships COM
posing the district.
The duties of this committee shall
be to suppress disloyalty to the Unit
ed States government, in any form
whatever found. whether it be by act
speech, or attitude. such action on
the part of the Council OF Defense
has become imperative from the fact
that rumors of disloya1ty apparently
well authenticated have been brought
to the attention OF the Council

blood of the best among us. the noble
the true and the brave. is shed and
offered upon the altar of our country
that the principles on which it is
founded may be perpctuatcd for the
OF our posterty, and not
destroyed by the insane and criminal
of the savage Huns.
In view Of these facts we appeal to
all loyal American citizens to report
to any member Of this Council, any
act o: disloyalty to the Government
OF the United States. either by ac.,

see to it that they are summarily
