Jess Willard Getting Old.

Jess Willard. who hammered Jack
Johnson into semi-unconsciousness
one hot day in Cuba few years ago,
is, according to press dispatches, rap
idly getting to be an old feeble man.
At least he says that he is too old to
fight for Uncle Sam. But while he
claimed to be too old for army ser
vice, he was trying his best to get
some one to put up guarantee of
many thousands of dollars for fight
between himself and Fulton on the
Fourth of July, the birthday OF the
nation for which he is too old to
fight. He was perfectly willing to
fight with his fists If there was money
enough in sight-money that would
much better be spent for Liberty
Bonds.
In marked contrast to the action Of
Willard is that of Alexander the ball
player, for the last few years with
the Philadelphia team of the National
League, but this year with the Chi
cago Cubs. He has purchased $4,000
worth of the Third Liberty Loan

Of the State may provide for the sup
port of the public schools and, at the

additional revenues for the State.
Furthermore, the enormous sums
needed by the federal government for
the prosecution of the war have laid
heavy burdens on the people in the
way of taxation and voluntary dona-
tons, and we are not disposed to in
crease at this time the burdens of
State and local taxation.
In this connection, it is not out of
place to say that the present admin

HOW TO DANISH HAIRS
(From The Beauty News.)

Ugly hair growths can be removed
in the privacy of your own home If you
get small original package of medol
and mix into a paste enough of the
powder and water to cover the hairy
surface. This should be left on the
skin about minutes. then removed
and the skin washed. and every trace
of hair will have vanished. No harm
or inconvenience can result from this
treatment. but be sure you buy real
medol. which is inexpensive. Mail

NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD

1t must have occurred to q great
many people, in reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient methods adopt.
ed by the government authorities in
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying Of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army Of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
50 far has been against an odicer Of
the United States army who volun.
tarily announced that he could not do
Justice to himself or his men in lead.
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
A man who Is convicted of being
leader in the spy plots against Ameri
can lives and property is given q
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an embezzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill.
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment. are pleasantly informed in
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are unfolding the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate The country is
at war and war is not "civil" matter.
A man who conspires to place bomb
in IN American troOp-ship or q vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets Why, then. should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law? Let's order out the firing
squad!
