How to Keep Summer
Clothes Looking New
All Summer IA

Washday has a great deal to do with
the length of time white clothes re-

Clothes that are constantly boiled will
have the fbres weakened and quickly

worn appearance.
Hard rubbing, too, shortens the life
Of dainty apparel. But neither hard
rubbing nor boiling is necessary.
The best way to wash summer clothes
is TO use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water. There's no boiling
necessary and only the slightest bit
Of rubbing. You'll be surprised how
long your clothes retain their fresh

INTER NATIONAL PEACE PLAN
DESCRIBED TO THE SENATE

An international peace plan, both to
effect immediate cessation of the war and
to maintain future peace in the world,
was outlined to the Senate yesterday by
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, author Of a
resolution proposing a league Of nations
to enforce peace
A treaty prescribing principles of inter
national law and conduct of nations be
tween the United States. Great Britain,
France. Italy, Japan and China was pro-
posed by Senator Owen He suggested
that, upon completion of such an agree
ment, Germany be invited to pledge adher-
ence to the principles enunciated.
As a penalty for refusal. Senator Owen
proposed that Germany should be sub
jected to economic isolation for five years.
For every thirty days in which she failed
to accept the plans an additional penalty

This would bring German merchants
and manufacturers to bankruptcy. said
Senator Owen. in explaining his plan 1T
would hit them in their most tender spot
Senator Owen said that President Wilson
and the State Department requested him
not to press his resolution for a league OF
nations when it was introduced last Au-
gust Since the Presidents message of
January s, outlining a basis for peace,
which, the Oklahoma senator said, sub
stantialiy parallels his plan, and state
ments by Lloyd George, Clemeneeau, Won
Kuehlmann. Won Hertling, Czernin and
other spokesman of all the belligerents
he said he felt he again should call at
tention to the situation in an effort to get
definite instead Of frag1nentary views and
action.
If Germany should join the league and
accept its principles, Senator Owen said
before an armiStice is signed. then she
should agree to evacuate belgium, Serbia
and other occupied territory and make
reparation.

The collection of books for the

at the Mason County Public Library
and while there have been several
hundred yolumns donated the amount
is still far short of that which the
Librarian desires to reach before the

During the last drive for books for
the American soldiers the people of
Maysville and Mason county made
quicker responses to the appeal than
they are making at the present time
but Miss Richeson feels certain that
within this week the people will open
their libraries and pour many books
into the soldiers Libraries.
The Librarian is preparing for ship
ment of the first supply of books from
this county to Newport News, Va,
within the next few days and she is
anxious that there be many more
books donated before this shipment is
made Books can either be left at the

LEASED FROM WHEATLESS

Mr.. Hoover cabled from London his
"elease and thanks:
I'm releasing the hotels, restaurants
and dining cars from their voluntary
pledge not to use wheat in any form
until the new harvest, l wish to con-
5ratulate them upon the patriotic ex-
ample they set and thank them for the
large saving made. The echo of their
service has been heard in Europe and
has pointed the way of democracy
the most service to those who have
the most to give.
at has been a personal inspiration
to me to have the continued help, so
freely given, of all of the men and
women who put through the mo
wheat" campaign which helped us to
provide for the necessities of the al
lies in spite of our short crop.
81 have confidence that the same
spirit will enable us to build up the
great reserve of wheat and other
foods needed to provide against future
crop failure and to assist the allied
nations in putting through the great
offensive that must win the war.
HERBERT HOOVER"
While exact figures can not be OBJ
aimed, it is estimated that hotels, res
taurants, clubs, and dining cars of the
country have saved, from October l
1917, to August l, 1918, between 1885,
100000 and 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds Of
wheat and its products, as we'll as
150,000,OOO pounds of meats and So.
100000 pounds of sugar. The educa-
