The government is taking steps
to fix the price of cotton, the staple

movement is also startd to stabilize
wages. These movements are in the

Not politics, but partisanship
should be adjourned this year. With
two millions of our boys locked in a
life and death struggle with for
eign enemy, no bitterness of feeling
must be tolerated between American
citizens. Loyalty is the peculiar
property of no political party. All
are alike patriots. Every citizen
should vote as his conscience and
judgment dictates, unbiased by the
bitterness of partisan feeling. Let
us fight the enemy now. and if we
must fight each other, defer the scrap
until the war is over

NOTICE OF CHANGE
IN PUBLIC ROAD.
Ohio County Court.

Ohio County Court.
/ We the undersigned, being resi-
dent citizens and land owners, of
Ohio county. and interested in the
matter and things herein set out, re-
spectfully petition a change or altera-
ton of the Hartford and Sulphur
Springs public road, as follows:
Beginning at bridge on said road
near the farm of w. p. Midkiff;
thence northely over the lands of
said Midkiff about one thousand
yards to the lands of J. T. Allen !;
thence in about the same general di-
rection, over Aliens land, about $50
yards to the lands of Ernest Bennett;
thence over Benefits land, same gen.
eral direction, about 800 yards to the
, lands of Iva Allen thence over his
land, in about the same direction,
for the distance of about 500 yards
to the lands of E. G. Barrass; thence
over his lands, about the same di-
rection, for the distance of about 100
yards or $50 yards to the said Hart
ford and Sulphur Springs road, at a
point on top of the hill, near Concord
school house.
The above being better and more
favorable ground for a road bed
than that now occupied by said road,
and does not materially change the
general course nor length of said
road. Said change is necessary and
proper but petitioners are unable to
estimate cost of change.
Petitioners ask that this petition be
filed. commissioners be appointed to
view said route, and the change made
according to law.

Nazareth has been taken by a
Christian army. and the Turk, who
reigned there for a thousand years,
has been driven out. Nazareth, the
city where st. Joseph had his car
penter shop. Nazareth, where the
Christ boy passed his holy boyhood,
has again fallen into the hands of the
followers of the lowly Nazarene. God
be thanked,

Cincinnati. Ohio, Sept. l4.-An Of
fer made by Mayor John Calvin, to

ization at noon today may tend to
end the policemen'S strike here.
Mayor Calvin told the strikers that
il they would resume their posts of

however. that the men suspended
yesterday charged with disrupting
the discipline OF the force, must
stand trial He likewise told the po-
licemen that at this moment he
could not guarantee them any raise
in salary.
Boy scouts took up positions on

directed traffic. and which former
ly were blown by huge men in blue,
were handled Just as adroitly by
Youngsters in khaki. Not 4 single
instance OF traffic confusion was re-
ported during the morning.

AT PALACE SUNDAY
AND MONDAY

Vibrant with patriotism and love
of country, THE Claws of the Hun
starring Charles Ray, the popular
young screen artist, will be shown
at the Palace theatre Sunday after
noon and Monday.
In this picture Mr.. Ray appears
as the son OF wealthy manufactur-
er OF munitions who has been pre-
vented from enlisting in the army
because of the pleas of his mother,
who is i'll and who, he believes, will
die, If her son goes "over there His
reasons for not enlisting are mis-
understoor by his friends who scorn-
fully term him a Stacker, even his
sweethear, who is a patriotic young
woman, upbraids him for his appar-
ent cowardice and gives him up.
But the young mans chance to
prove the falsity OF the charge ap-
pears, and he takes full advantage
OF the opportunity when, at the risk
of his lie, he illustrates the plot
of German spies to steal from his
ldtner inc 1Otlnula or nlSn explosives
which has been entrusted TO him by
the United States government.
When his mother comes to a full
realization of the danger of Hun es-
pionage IN this country and of the
necessity of combating enemies
abroad as well as at home, Stanton !
is permitted to refute the charge OF !
being a Stacker by enlisting in the
army.
The photoplay is filled with strong
dramatic action and many OF the
situations are exceedingly thrilling.
Mr.. Ray is supported by capable
players, among them being Jane
Novah, who plays the part as his
weetheart.

athletic goes well beyond that in character training. As a great many men are now giving this problem much thought it may be that this war will see it's solution. For one thing our great environments offer a fertile field for solving this problem, and in them the solution may be found
 There remains much confusion in the mind of many attacking this problem as to just what intercollegiate athletics represent. Some advanced thinkers have clearly shown that they do not stand for physical education, as we think of that subject in it's entirety, but rather the soul and spirit of the college. When that idea is firmly es. tablished big step will have been made towardA solution.
 Those who believe intercoliegia sport to be physical education can see no solution by this means of our prob lem of evolving an athletic plan which will make for sport for. all. As result they condemn intercollegiate sport. The broader view is to retain it as a sub division of physical education both as a goal to strive for and as a source of revenue for the carrying out of some scheme of physical Sducation The cantonment idea of sport is sport foh,s all. It eventually may de- velop the champion. but everyone is desired as an active participant in those contests from which comes the winner. There is no great reason aside from the financial one, why such a scheme may not prove practical iL our colleges after the cantonment has 1 shown the way A similar and smaller organization along the same lines car l he worked nit in the college which should prove especially efficient should the college demand actual sport par.

 Baseball is facing supreme test through the duration of the war It's popularity at the end ot the war, should the conflict last two or more
