made break for st. Marys. Over
there she gave her name as Amy Ed
wards. She is believed to be an old

ITO Whom 1t May Concern
I'VE, the undersigned, hereby certify
that the charge filed against Mary A.
Wellman, protesting the granting of the
renewal OF her license by the Mercer
County Liquor Licensing Board, was in
no manner a charge concerning her
moral character as a citizen, but as to her
being permitted to run a saloon. The
charge made was based upon an accusa-
ton made that the said Mary A. Well
man had sold and permitted to be sold
to United States soldiers in uniform in
toxicating liquors, and was concerning
no other matter whatever.
On May 6, 1918, the said Mary A. Well
man withdrew her application for the
renewal of her license for the license
year beginning on the fourth Monday of
MAY, 1918. Whereupon the charge pre-.
ferred against the said Mary A. Wellman
was also withdrawn

WHAT IS talk WORTH?
BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

1t has often been said that talk is
cheap; but it is altogether ques-
ton as to who does the. talking AS
a matter of fact, what man is means
more than what he says, for it is a
mans character which determines the
value Of his speech. This implies
that the value of mems words vary.
In this respect men are divided into
three classes: Men of the first class
have their words taken at par. They
mean precisely what they say. OF this
type of man it has been said; Ills
word is as good as his bond" Men
of the second class have their words
taken at a premium. Such men are
usually slow to speak. Their words
are few. But when they promise, one
rest assured that ordinarily they will
do more than has been asked. The
words sof the men Of the third class
are always discounted. Twenty per-
cent off-often more-is the value
that others give them. So it often
happens that exactly the same words.
spoken by three different men, have
three different values.
It is rather curious that while most

This action by the senators is con-
elusive proof that the present plan
of government control will not prove
satisfactory, and that there is but
one way to settle the transportation
question in this couptry-complete

pie through the medium of the Fed

not now?

Freedom claims our loyal aid:
Men and women, young and old,
Let us give, all undismayed,
Time or labor, strength or gold.
Whilst our men across the ocean
Rravely- struggle for the right,
We at home must bear our portion
In the call to freedoms fight.
Freedoms ours; it is Gods will;
Through our souls this thought instill:
Freedom is the life of man.
Stars and stripes proclaim it DER US,
Heritage from Pilgrim band;
Yes. their work stands out before us
Freedoms spirit rules our land.
Freedom needS the aid Of voices,
On its trackless path today;
And each follower rejoices, s:s~
Chanting hymns along the way. :,
Freedoms path Is sometimes dark,
But with song we'll: make it light,
Singing blithely as the lark
Filled with love and thrilled with
might. a'E..

Freedom is a gift divine, t:
Shedding lllster bright and fair;
It is yours and It is mine,
Beautiful beyond compare. 49,

War demands unselfish loves
Giving all when love demands.

A FAIR COMPENSATION.

10 win the war the government
must be given the unqualified sup
port of every man, woman and child
and all should be ready to answer
the call to service when summoned,
And above all this should include
those at the head of business and in
dustrial concerns, SO that every pos
sible agency may be utilized in ex-
pediting the war program.
When liability to service is re-
ferred to, it is implied that any sery-
ice so rendered should be given with
the least expense to the government,
even though real sacrifice is in
volVed. When business is called to
the colors, it is unreasonable to ex-
pect that profits enjoyed in the per-
iod before the United States entered
the War-in many cases enormous
should be exacted for service to our
country.
At present there is altogether too
much discrimination between prop-
erty service and personal service,
with the disparity greatly in favor
of the former.
There is a minority in the United
States senate, led by Cummins of
Iowa and johnson of California, op-
posing the proposed plan to pay rail
road stockholders a dividend that
will equal the average dividend for
the last three years. This rate of
compensation would mean an aggre-
gate guaranty of 8.5 per cent per
year upon the par value Of all rail-
road stock of all the roads, and is
excessive when it is considered that
capital stock of railway corporations
represents no definite value. It
must be remembered that purchasers
of Liberty bonds receive only 4 per
cent.
In closing An argument against
the three-year payment plan, Sena-
tor johnson drew this Impressive
parallel:
"Where Is the man who would
have suggested that we pay the men
we are to send to the trenches a sum
equal to the average of their last
three years earnings? He would
have been laughed to scorn on this
floor"
The railroads are entitled to a fair
return, and no more.
