CASSVILLE MAN ATTACKS
GIRL; TAKEN TO MENDOZA.

Herman Schleier, young Cassvl..e
man, became violently insane Thurs
day morning when he attacked Miss
Retha Mcdowell, who had gone to the
Sch1eier home to deliver a message
from the telephone central next door,
NeighbOrs were attracted by the
young lady's screams and rushed to
her assistance. Glen Smith and Fred
Schwerin, also Mrs. Bennett burst in
to the room to find Schleier savagely
attacking the young lady with his
teeth and it required their combined
efforts to make him release his hold.
He was finally subdued, but only af-
ter a fierce struggle, and was taken
in charge by Marshal Craig.
On Friday he was taken before the
local physicians for examination re-
garding his mental condition and they
found him deranged. Undersheriff
Dyer came over from Lancaster Sat-
urday and took the young man to
Mendoza.
Schleier, who is of draft age, has
been brooding over the likelihood of
being called for service, and it is pre-
sumed this so preyed on his mind
that he lost his reason. At least this
is the only manner in which to &C
, count for the savage attack on the
young lady, who, but for the brave
fight she made, may have been Sc
verely injured.
Relatives of the unfortunate young
man have the sympathy of many
friends, who trust that with proper
care and treatment he may be perm

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette

favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. cts toasted was the $50

LUCKY STRIKE il less than year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE

AN AIRMAN'S DREAM.

When [ am tired thru and thru,
And all the things / have to do
Seem little, senseless, brutal things,
My mind escapes on happier wings
To an old house, that in mine own,
Lichen kissed, and overgrown;
With gables here and gables there
And tapered chimneys anywhere;
With milestone hearths for burning
logs
And kettles singing from the dogs;
With rough hewn beams of darkened
oak,
Fragrant with a faint of smoke;
With unexpected steps and hooks
And cases full of leather books
Soft water cOlors that I love,
And in the bedrooms, up above,
Large four-post beds and lots of air,
Where I can lie without a care,
And hear the rustic of the leaves
And starlings fighting in the caves.
Down the stream mile or two
The fen1ands come, where trees are
few;
There sturdy, sad eyed fenmen toll,
Tilling their heavy, deep, brown soil;
A land where the gray heron breeds
And wild fowl paddle in the reeds,
A land Of molten, golden reds,
Of ripening corn and osier beds;
A land in which, wher'er I go,
There is no man to say me no.
I have for my companion there
A boat, gun, of dogs a pair,
Cocker spaniels, silver gray,
With tails a-wagging all the day.
And other things I'd like are these;
Large breakfasts and enormous teas,
Honey and homemade bread, still hot,
Fresh butter in an earthen pot,
And new laid eggs and clothed cream,
o, Lord! to think it's all dream.

PRICES IN CIVIL WAR PERIOD.

The n4gh cost Of living during the
Civil War has been used for half q
century as sort of standard for COM
parsons. Prices then, and especially
in 1863, were beyond all previous ex-
Terrence. Poor people, and even peo-
pie in moderate circumstances, often
found them prohibitive Strikes and
mass-meetings were not uncommon
Parades were organized to demand
lower prices and higher wages. In
deed, writer in the New York Times
declares that the social unrest "was
far more serious than any we know
today"
Prices rose steadily from 1861 to
1863. The level reached in the third
year Of the war was the high-water
mark. The increase for the period
varied from SO to Is per cent, and in
some instances was 100 One of the
chief sources Of complaint was the
cost of sugar, which rose to IL or Is
cents a pound. One of the curiosities
Of the list was the price of butter,
which for long time hung around 80
cents pound. Cotton sold at one
time at 81 yard. Other interesting
facts are given by this writer:
SALOONS felt the pinch also in 1863.
meeting of saloOn-OWners was held
in New York to consider the problem,
and in the face of great public oppo-
sition the price of a drink of liquor
was raised from to 10c. The best
hotels raised their rates to $3.50 and
later to So a day. and charged extra
for heat and light The rate included
a room and three meals a day. The
BARRIERS demanded 10 cents for shay
ing and 20 cents for hair cut. Ice
was considered great luxury and
was supplied at the rate Of so cents a
day.
"The average cost Of foods, it is
seen, was we'll below the prices of to-
day. The explanation of the violent
protests throughout the country will
be found, however, in the compare
lively low wages paid in the trades
and professions. Banners borne in a
parade in New. York demanded a wage
of $1.12 a day. The average rate for
common labor rose as high as $125
for a days work Even the skilled
workmen Jared little better. The
wages of blacksmitns rose from $1.75
to So a day, while the brick layers in
1868 received So a day instead of
--1.25, as at the beginning of the war.
A skilled painter received $175 a
day, joiners and ship builders So,
quarrymen SLIP. Coachmen were
paid $50 month and walters from
$12 to SIS month
''The prices Of food and clothing
reached far greater heights in the
South. In a diary kept by Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis it is recorded that in 1862,
in Richmond, mutton sold for 81 cents
a pound, potatoes for Sc a bushel, tea
for S. pound, flour at $500 a barrel,
and turkey brought $780, A pair of
boots cost $25. Many of these prices
were due to speculation in food. At
one time beef sold for Sc a pound and
-four for $1,000 a barrel
"These extraordinary prices, how
ever, were fictitious. 1t made all the
difference in the world whether the
bills were paid in gold or in Confed-
crate money. At this time an English
man wrote from Charleston that he
had never lived so we'll and so cheap
ly. The regular hotel rates in paper
money were $40 day, but they cost
the Englishman but IS. day The
bill was paid in gold. From the Lit
erary Digest.

HUNKA TIN

You may talk about your vOitures
When you're sitting around the quar-
ters,
But when it comes to getting blesses
in,
Take a little tip from me,
Let those heavy motors be,
Pin your faith to Henry F.'s old Hun
ka Tin.
Give her essence and de Peau,
Crank her up and let her go,
You back firm, spark plug foulin'
Hunka Tin.
The paint is not so good,
And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like boiler shop enroute;
The coolers sure to boil,
And perhaps she's leakin' OIL
Then oftentimes the horn declines to
tOOt.
But when the night is black,
And there's blesses to take back,
And they hardly give you time to take
smoke,
It's mighty good to feel,
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger
cars are broke.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last,
To our reward of which the preacher
sings,
When these ukulele sharps
Will be stunning golden harps,
And the aviators all have regular
wings,
When the Kaiser is in hell,
With the furnace drawing well,
Paying for his million different kinds
of sin,
If they're running short Of coal,
Show me how to reach the hole,
And I'll cast few loads down with
Hunka Tin.
Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin,
You exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin,
I've abused you and I've flayed you,
But, by Henry Ford, who made you,
You are better than Packard, Hunka
Tin.
