The Time Has Come to Call a
Spade a Spade and a Knave
a Knave in Politics

The only answer to the per6dy Of the wheel
horses Of Doerism in their attempt to throttle the
popular will Of the people Of Clayton is vote
against the Do eriism candidates for trustees.
Don't be misled by honeyed statements, or
protestahons Of reform!
They are the stock in trade Of the grating
politician; Eeing and deceit and camcuAage are the
weapons of the professional office holder who, with
no apparent income, becomes rich in the employ
of the municipality.
The time has come to call spade a spade
and knaye knaye. Clayton is on the brink Of
bankruptcy thru the action Of the village board Of
trustees. Mayor Rixey has had nothing to do with
it. He has refused to sign the contract which would
saddle the alleged engineer Duerr upon the village
for another two years The men who are respon-
sible for the reign of inefciency and wanton ex-
penditure Of funds until the village is almost as
much in debt as the whole of Union County are
the same men W who are seeking reelection at the
hands Of the voters of Clayton These men have
been ably assisted by City Attorney Easterwood.
1t is common talk and generally believed that
the secret desire Of the Do'er candidates for trus-
tees is to plunge the village into bankruptcy that
the municipal light and water plant may be bought
in from friendly receiver for small sum and be-
come the private property Of private corporation.
The reign Of ineficiency and wanton expenditure
Of funds Of the past two years is all but enough to
disgust the taxpayers with municipal ownership,
and if it continues under the same rule Of ruin the
time will come and not very long when your plant
will be sold to set Of grasping politicians.
Are you going to see your electric light and
water system taken away from you, Mr. Taxpayer
Are you going to sit idly by with your eyes full Of
the sand Of honeyed words and put in office again

How They Jest With Death.

When one division moved up to a
new headquarters it took along with IL
a sergeant in the Q. M. G. who believes
In being as comfortable as the eXigen-
cies of war will permit. He was one
of those "sleek-headed men, and such
as sleep o. nights" and straightway he
began TO look around for bed. In a
barn he found the village hearse, which
by some oversight had not been evac-
uated. And there he lies nightly.
Somebody else liked the idea and
tried to bunk on the roof. But the
hearse wouldn't stand II. 1t threaten
ed to collapse all over the sergeant,
and after council of war 1t was de-
cided that the hearse had been con-
structed on one-man basis and ought
to stay that way.
Its very comfortable" the sergeant
explains. And If they ever shell the
barn, here l am, all ready for EN-
Stars and Stripes.

MAN OF MYSTERY
KEEPS SECRET
Half-Breed Dies Without Reveal
ing Method of Recovering
the Dead.
GETS DROWNED BODIES
Always Worked at Night, Possessed
an Uncanny Power and Succeeded
Where All Other Methods
Had Failed.

saltwater, Mlnn.-JOhn Jeremy, q
mysterious character, who for AZ years
made his living by recovering the
bodies of persons drowned in lakes and
rivers of the northwest, ended his ca
reer recently by committing suicide
after he had shot and killed an ac-
quaintance In quarrel over a woman
Jeremy, who was seventy-two years
old and a resident of this place, died
without disclosing his uncanny method
Of bringing bodies to the surface.
One of his notable feats took place
shortly before his death when he re-
covered the body of Miss Helen
Learned of st. Paul, who was drowned
in Lake Phelan several weeks previous
ly. The lake bed had been raked
scores of times and hope had been
abandoned when FISHERMAN john" as
Jeremy was known, announced that he
would find the body. Within a short
time he had succeeded and collected
500 for his work.
Liked Starlight for His Work.
Jeremy worked alone and always at
night. He liked a starry sky, but the
rays of full moon seemed to hamper
rather than aid him. Some persons
who for years had studied the peculiar
tiles of Jeremy, who was a half-breed,
claimed he used trained muskrats to
locate the missing corpses. Others
claimed he knew the freaklsh twists
and turns of the river and lake cur
rents so well that he needed no other
aid.
FISHERMAN John" began his unique
profession in 1876 His efficiency soon
attracted the attention of the entire
northwest and he received large sums
for the recovery of many of the bodies.

Cold STORAGE Fish.

fish, and the commodity itself when
properly handled, received the COM
mendation of the United States depart
ment of agriculture In n recent publ
cation. 1t is pointed out that freezing
and frozen storage will hold fish for
many months in the condition in which
they were received, but will not repair
deterioration due to previous heating

USE SANDBAGS ON WARSHIPS
Have Been Found to Form the Only
Efficient Protection for the Guns
and Gun Crews.

The use of sandbags or wicker bas-
kets filled with sand as n protection
against hostile projectiles in warfare.ls
ny no means new. but the present war
has probably seen the most extensive
use ever known of this means of de
Tense, says Popular Science Monthly.
Against the enormous force of the
modern explosive neither steel nor con.
crete offers adequate protection. II
was found that earth or sand, either in
a loose state or in bags, formed more
efficient protection against shells,
shrapnel or the projectiles of small
arms or machine guns than barbados
of other material.
picture taken on board of a British
monitor preparing TO go into action
shows that sandbags as a means OF
protection are by no means confined to
the warfare in the trenches. A cover
Ing of sandbags is placed on the roof
of the turret to gi7e additional pro-
lection to the big guns and the crew,
should they come within range of a
hostile battleship or be attacked by a
hostile airplane. Without these sand
bags the roof of the turret would offer
little protection against missiles drop
ping on them almost vertically. This
applies to projectiles fired from guns
with high angle of elevation and to
bombs dropped from aircraft.

was made at sydney, Australia, during
water carnival for the purpose of
raising war relief funds, when Solo
mon islander, Alick Wickham, dived
flom height of 205 feet. The man
was able to retain both consciousness
and equilibrium for the first 100 feet,
after which all became blank. Wick
ham struck the water in "a semi-prone
position with such force that he was
completely knocked out for more than
ten minutes. When taken from the
water he was bleeding from dozen

JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austria's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
lnsincere.

London.-The Daily Mail. under the
heading "The Word of Austria. but
the Kaiser's Voice" says the Austrian
invitation to the allies to open "a con-
fidential. nonbinding discussion" of
peace terms is another form Of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Nego-
tiations at the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. So 'ong as
the kaiser and his oan-Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destiries
of Germany 70 long can there be no
question of an armistice or purely
academic negotiations. The note is dis
ingenious, cynical. and insincere-an
attempt TO divert the entente powers
from resolute prosecution of the
war"
The Austrian note Is regarded In
this country as a maneuver TO obtain
needed breathing space for the sorely
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires of
their rulers for a cessation OF the
struggle which is wearing them TO a
shadow.
Undoubtedly It is part OF com
bined peace offensive which has been
expected for some time, and which has
taken definite form within the last
few days. II is one of three moves
which have been made almost stimuli.

When this tube is inflamed you have

result Unless the Inflammation can be re-

Revolution Staged by Berlin.

Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenihe,, Trotzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bOlshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of muir
der and excuses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff.
They show how the paid agents OF
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
bOlshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nomic policy wholly in the interest of
Germany. and to the shame and deg
radiation of Russia.
Originals of documents, photographs
of originals, and typewriter circulars,
some Of them marked Every secret"
or private" and many of them bear
ing the annOtations of the bOlshevik
leaders themselves; some of them con-
tanning references TO "Comrade Trotz-
ky" or "Comrade Lenine" comprise the
record.
Some of the originals, ii is shown,
although deposited in the archives of
the bolshevikl, were required to be
returned later to representatives of
the German general staff in Petrograd
that they might be destroyed.

Hun Plots Against America.

These documents further show that

Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious thinner

and Japan upon the United States,
these documents lay bare new strata
of Prussian intrigue. a new view Of
the workings of kultur to disrupt the
allies standing between the world and
