REASONS:

FIRST-Justice Craig has made good the bench His
decisions show clear insight into the law and the
facts in each and evident desire to do exact
justice to all They place him in the highest rank

all the people of the district and the state
THRD-Juige Craig is large empoyero labor He has
always been fair and just in his dealings with the

OPEN HOSPITAL FOR AMERICANS
 IN LIVERPOOL

LIVERPOOL, March 2. The first hospital for American soldiers in Great Britain has just been opened iii Liverpool. All other hospitals thus far opened in the British Isles have been for American officers. The Liver pool hospital is known as American Red Cross military hospital No. 4 and iS situated in the Mossley Hill dis trict. the most fashionable residential section about three miles from the downtown business part of the city. Already many American soldiers oc- cupy it's cheerful wards and many others in the cOnvalescent stage, clad in hospital pale blue are walking about the spacious grounds.
 The hospital proper occupies Moss ley House, the former home of Dr. Edmund Knowles Muspratt, noted authority on chemistry and one of livcrpoops leading citizens, who when he heard that the Americans wanted it, gladly turned it over to them. 1t occupies the highest elevation in the city. A typical old gothic style Eng fish town house, it stands in the cen ter of : acres of beautiful grounds the flower gardens of which are ra- pidly being converted into plots for raising vegetables. An American flag, flying from the tall staff in front of the grounds can be seen great dis tance, and assists visitors to find the place.
 The head of the hospital is Major Udo J. Vile, Medical Officers Reserve Corps, United States Army, who is a member of the faculty of the UniVe: sity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor Major Vile came here last November and has worked untiringly to outfit the in- Stitution. In this he has been assisted by Joseph R. Morris of Chicago, re

GREAT WOMAN PASSES AWAY
 IN ABYSSINA

LONDON, March 27. - Tai-Tou, Dowager Empress of Abyssinia, died on February II, at Addis Abeba, ac- cording to advices just received here.
 The Empress, who was widow for the fourth time when in 1883, at the age of 30, she married Menelik, theE simply King of Shoa, was woman of great force of character. A princess of Tigre, she was of very fair com plexion and had remarkably snail hands and feet. In her youth she was celebrated for her beauty. From the first, as became daughter or the King of Gondar, she took an active part in the troublouS politics of Aby- sinia, and yves concerned in all the civ il wars and ntrigues which ended in the raising of Menelik-to whom she bore no children-to the position of Negus-Negusti (Emperor) in 1889. At Adowa, where the Italians suffer- ed a crushing reverse, she accompan- jed Menelik to the battle headquarters and put hel own heriditary troops ir the field.
 During Meneiik's long illness she practically governed the country end kept it from internal disorders.
 On Menelik's death at Christmas, 1913, his grandson, Lidj Jeassu, youth of IS, became Emperor, but the young ruler failed to maintain order, and largely on Tai-Tou's initiative he was deposed in September, 1916, and his aunt Zeodita, Mcnelik's older daughter, was proclaimed Empress.

presenting the American Red Cross. The majors staff consists of five oiil- ccrs-three captains and two !ieuten- ants. The personnel of the place ln- chdes ten American Red Cross nurses, twelve Sergeants and twenty prlvateS. Miss Marion Weller, a graduate of the New York hospital, is chief nurse.
 Major Vile is proud that thirty-four days after Mossley House was taken over it was fully equipped American hospital ready for it's first patients. Today it has l50 beds with room for expansion to 826 beds. The institu- tion is equipped throughout on the American plan. This especially is true of the hot water heating plant and of the plumbing and electrical in- stallations, all of which work was Ia cilitated largely through the efforts of the British Royal Engineers who helped draw up the plans and put them into execution in these days of labor shortage.
 The hospital now has ten wards for soldiers, two small officers wards and an operating room, besides the admin iStrative offices. 1t boasts two ambu- lances of the latest type, one given by Richard Pearce, an American resident in Liverpool and the second by an anonymous donor.
 About 200 yards from the hospital are building two isolation wards, each designed to accommodate 100 conta- gious disease patients. These are one story structures of brick and concrete. Each will have four ten-bed wards with two small wards in the center for officers. A feature will be discharge rooms where outgoing patients can don their new garments.

Help Win War by Raising Hogs

Everybody should get into the
firing line and help increase the
production of hogs in order to
supply food, fats and oils to the
army and allies.
These commodities are essen
tial to carry on the great struggle.
1t is just as important to fire the
little and big guns here at home
to win the war as it is to fire the
guns from the trenches. Are we
at home keeping pace with the
boys over there with our firing?
Many people in the small towns
and the suburbs of the cities can
do their bit by raising a pig on
the waste materials from the gar
den and the kitchen.
Now is the time to start, pro-
vided you haven't already. Grow
more food and feed crops; use bet
ter hogs for breeding and breed
more gifts; raise two litters each
year; save the pigs at narrowing
time; provide good sanitary quar-
tiers, and keep the herd free of
disease. Enough hogs died with
cholera last year to feed one mil
lion soldiers for six months.
Another phase to be considered
is the feeding. Raise more pas
ture and larger forage crops to be
grazed; feed waste materials, such
as garbage, waste dairy products,
garden waste, etc. Keep the feed
ers>and finish them on the self
feeder before you market them.
Keep those things in mind and
help your country. We must win
the war, and to do this we must
all fight one way or another, so if
you can't fight in the trenches
fight lice, hog cholera, pneumon-
la, worms or what not to help
raise more hogs.

should be taught in the public
schools, and instruction in foreign
languages should be left only for
the colleges.

FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1918

The extremely small expense
of conducting the Red Cross war
subscription campaign is betrayed
from the membership fund, which
accounts for the fact that not a
penny of the war contributions
will be used. Most of the service
is donated, but there are some Of
flee expenditures, for stationery,
postage, etc. That is a small bill
in it's total, but none Of it comes
from the donations that were
made to the Red Cross this week.
Not only will every penny of
every dollar be expended for war
purposes, but every dollar will
earn something in the process of
administration. The fund draws
interest while in bank and the
average earning is such that every
dollar is worth $1.02 by the time
it is invested in comfort and aid
and cheer for our soldiers. Any
reports of waste of Red Cross
funds can be set down as desire
to interfere with this most praise
worthy organization, if not set
afioat by outright German agents.
