CARSON BEGINS DEBATE ON IRISH
 DRAFT POLICY
Nationalists Fail to Return to Westminster As Dillon
 Stated They Would.

London, June 26-An important debate was opened in the House of Commons today by Sir Edward Car son, the Ulster, leader, who in accord ance with a previous arrangement, raised the whole question of the gov ernment's policy in Ireland with spec ial reference to the recent proclama- ton of the lord lieutenant and the re- cruiting movement. It was expected that Edward Shortt would make his first speech as chief secretary for Ire land and that Premier Lloyd-George would have an important declaration regarding home rule and conscrip- ton.
 The Irish Nationalists did not re- turn to Westminster for the debate. John Dillon, the Irish leader, declared Monday they would do so when the anti-conscription conference in Dub lin had concluded it's sittings and a favorable moment arrived.
 Several members favoring the es- tablishment of federal governments within the United Kingdom were notified to submit a resolution for the creation of such subordinate legisla- tion, and the premier will receive dur ing the day a deputation of members, representing all parties, who suppor; this measure.

AMERICANS HAVE STRONG
 NERVES
Nervousness and Nerve Troubles on the Decline

Nothing wrong but your nerves, |" is a saying that is fast dying out in this country. While nerve trouble is no organic disease, one of our leading nerve specialists remarked: "A man or woman might better break leg than have a shattered nervous sys- tenn"
 Overwork and worry drains the nerve cells of their reserve strength and food, and then follows the sleep less night, indigestion, poor appetite, impure blood and general nervous breakdown.
 The thing to do in such cases no longer troubles doctors and their pa tients who know from their. own ex- -Derience the value of Phosphated Iron. They know that a few weeks regular use of this nerve food and red P.ood builder will strengthen and brace up the whole nervous system, because Phosphated Iron gives the tired, hungry worn-out nerve cells phosphates and iron, in a form easily and quickly absorbed! as one happy user said: You can almost feel it taking hold of the nerves and blood, after a short time you feel like Q new person; life seems a pleasure and worth living once again.
 In every section where Phosphated Iron has been used there has been big decrease of nerve troubles and it will prove a welcC11ie relief to any sufferer. You Nan bank on it for results-it's pure.
 To insure physicians and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put up in capsules only do not take pills or tablets. Insist l on capsules.

Ashtabula Township
Has Patriotic Meeting

Another of those popular patriotic
rallies was held in Ashtabula township
last night, in which Rev. W. C. Lyon,
Miss Dorothy Mcfarland and Mrs.
Henry Nelson, of this city, took a
prominent part. And we should not
forget that our genial county treasur-
er, Henry E. Nelson did his bit, too,
for it was up to him to get the crowd
out there-and he did. Mr.. Lyon gave
another interesting talk along patrio-
tic lines, Miss Dorothy Mcfarland led
the community singing and Mrs. Nell
son gave an interesting talk on the
Red Cross and it's great work. There
was also an interesting program by
the children. After these good things
had been disposed of from an educa-
t;onal standpoint, the children auc-
toned off some lunch baskets, and
Mr.. Lyon was drafted to be the auc-
tioneer, and he certainly made good
so say they all, and the children rea-
lized some $8.75 from this sale. We
can see where Mr.. Lyon can fill in
very satisfactory in case Mart Ma
son and some of these other auction
eers are drafted into the service.

Valley CiE Now In Line
For Big Flax Fiber MIL

After weeks investigation and de-
liberation by a special committee Of
the Valley City Commercial club it
looks as though flax fiber mill might
soon be an added industry to Valley
City. Outside interests have been
looking Valley City over and owing
to it's transportation facilities and it's
water and general location they have
decided that Valley City would be the
ideal place in which to locate their
mill. A special committee represent
ing the Commercial club have had sew
eral meetings with these gentlemen
and the present outlook is that the
proposition may be launched. It will
be a 100000 venture. and that will
take the flax straw as it comes from
the threshing machine and make the
finished product, it will not weave it
into linen but it will go long ways
toward producing product that will
be sought by refining mills.
The matter will be taken up further
by the Commercial club at it's next
meeting and judging from the inter
est being taken in the project by
farmers and business men it looks
as though this was the proposition we
have long been looking for and what
we are in position to put over. - ?
