ELECTION SUIT
SUPREME COURT DECIDES GAM.
BLING DEBT is UNCOL-
LECTIBLE.

Pierre, May 23.-That the lower
court had no jurisdiction is the rul-
ing of the supreme court in the case
of Guy Kelly, administrator, VS.. SUI
zanne Dirks.
From the record it appears that
Peter Dirks had made an eelction bet
with the provision that il he died be-
fore the election the money was to
be turned over to his wife. His death
occurred and the stakeholder turned
over the money as requested.
The administrator brought suit TO
recover the amount as a part OF the
estate, and the matter came up to
the supreme court on demurrer. with
the holding by that court that so lone
as it was a gambling matter and
criminal under the laws of the state
no action could lie in the matter, anC
the courts had no jurisdiction.

PLAN
CONQUEST OF FINLAND
TO CARRY THE WAR TO THE
ARCTIC CIRCLE, THEIR
BOAST,

Stockholm, May 23.-Germany has
laid a comprehensive plan for the
conquest of Finland, which includes
these startling developments:
l. The carrying of the war to the
Arctic circle; the seizure of the MUIR
man railroad, running from Petro-
grad to Kola, Russia's new port on
the Arctic ocean, and the occupation
of Lapland, Russian Karelia, and the
Finnish coast of the Arctic and the
White seas.
2. The extension of the pan-Ger-
man dream of a "Mittel-Europa" to
include a through railway line from
the northernmost cape of Europe to
Constantinople.
3. An alliance between Finland.
Germany and Japan which will renew
the war against Russia, giving Pc
trograd to Germany and Siberia to
Japan.
These revelations are published in
the Swedish paper which first gave
to the world the statement of Prince
Lichnowsky, which showed that the
kaiser alone vas responsible for
starting the war.

CONG. DILLON SPEAKS
POLITICS TOUCHED LIGHTLY
WAR AND FINANCE VERY
IMPORTANT.

Last night in his address at the
courthouse Congressman C. III. Dillon
touched very lightly on politics. In
directly certain beliefs of the speaker
were injected into the talk. But his
discourse was confined to the war
and conditions of trade, and the prog
ress made in u prosecution of it.
He believes in a greater excess prof
its tax, and cited instances of great
corporations which we're profiting
tremendously by the sweat and blood
of u soldiers. In 1916 there were
1851 m%illionaires in this country.
In 1917 there were $4,000, and the
end of this year will see that number
greatly increased.
Mr.. Dillon also thought with 9TH
ers that it might be a good plan TO
try the half-and-half method of tax
alton and loans. But this is again a
tax on swollen fortunes, and differs
from the plan we now are pursuing
mainly in lending half to our allies.
By June 80 we shall have author
ICED the expenditure of $21, 900, 00O,-
900, of which SIC, 900, 600, 900 have
already been spent. We have loaned
our allies $1,000, 600, 0OO, which is
included in the expenditure. He said
that part of this might be paid at
the end of the term-but much of
this bond money never would be paid
during the life of a man in hearing
of his voice.
He spoke of the airplane appro-
priations of $640, 900 900 ami indi-
Gated that there was an investigation
now going on to find where the mon
ey went and for what. The outcome
was pronounced by him as hazy.
What we need on the western
front to win are men, money, more
and heavier guns, he said. The rea-
Sol the Hun drive bent the lines
back in the recent drive was that
they had the man power. Not con-
sidering Japan, Russia and American
armies, the central powers have A.
O0O, 900 more men than all the 9TH
ers opposed to them.
The speaker recounted the laws he
had helped to enact since the war
started, which embraced all the wal
acts with which we are so familiar
by this time. He illustrated the alien
enemy property law, showing that il
was merely a measure to prevent the
money of aliens from falling into the
hands of the central powers to be
used against us.
The gas mask was shown by the
speaker. 1t is carried in a small
haversack, and must be always will

Der tube connecting a canister o

The Sunday School has just discovered itself, the corpse of Journalism was ruthlessIy laid to rest at the close of the last epoch and the resurrected multiform entered the New Era, moving in thought and action, through all the willy munitions of life: the unsopken sentiment bids you welcome, and the self conscious ness with which the sovereign Ego began to enrobe you in your early teens is transtigured, and you find yourself adorned in natures confidence where the deeper self appears. An, where angels fear not to manifest them selves in their white robes of purity. What rest. Learn of the child its angelic freedom.
 Come, we cannot tell about it, come and breath the atmosphere of inspiration.

 A note of alarm has been sounded by the Government in the following telegram from the Department of Labor to the State Council of Defense Tn Little Rock.
 Figures received by wire each week by the United States Elm ployment service show decrease in the demand for labor and a corresponding increase in the sup. ply. Speed in the cancellation of war contracts and the demobi- lization of the Army is inereas- ing daily. Many industries are hesitating to take on any comm itments at this time. The build ing trades are at a standstiIl and probably will remain so unti spring, and unless every state and e immunity organization and individual cooperate to the full I

The Pleasantville Radio Association
is up in arms against the bill pending
in the House of Representatives,
which if passed, will compel them to
keep their radio outfits out of service
for the future. In Pleasantville, be
fore the war, there were o forty
radio stations operated by different
citizens, who constituted the Pleasant
Vile Radio Association. These sta
tions were dismantled in accordance
with the Presidents proclamation on
April 6, 1917. AS soon as peace is
signed they were again to be allowed
to operate their stations. If this bill
is passed they will no longer be allow
ed to operate their stations. Letters
and resolutions were sent to the KEEP

A CHRISTMAS DREAM.
BY Marguerite Rutherford Simpson,
10 years old.

10 years old.
There was a little boy named Tom
my Browne. He was a very good little
boy. One day while doing a kind act
a man came up to Tommy. He was
dressed in fur from head to foot, he
had a long white beard and snow
white hair. Tommy was afraid of him
at first but the man laid his hand on
Tommy's shoulder and said, do not
be afraid, l will not hurt you, now,
since you have been so good and kind
to everyone you will be rewarded"
and then the mar vanished. The next
day Tommy went to the village on an
errand. He saw all the shop windows
decorated for Christmas with lots and
lots of toys. 1t made Tommy feel
very sad for Tommy's parents were
very poor and could not afford to buy
him any presents. So he went back
to his little home and told his mother
what he had seen which made her
feel very bad. That night Tommy
dreamed he heard bells and saw rein
deers on the roof. He saw the man
with the long fur coat and white
beard. The next morning Tommy
hurried down to tell the dream to his
mother. To his great surprise right
before his eyes vas a very pretty
Christmas tree and a nice warm coat
and rubber boots and lots of nice toys
and on the wall hung a sign which
read, From Dear Old Santa Claus.
And Tommy knew it meant the man
in the fur coat, and felt very grateful
tn him.
