HENS SHOULD NOT BE
 HURRIED TO MARKET

Washington, D. C., April 24.-"A rush of too many fowls to market as soon as the restriction against selling laying hens is removed, may result in food losses," says the United States Department of Agriculture. Think twice before selling hen that is still laying. Green food is becoming more plentiful and the demand for eggs continues. Universal marketing of fowls may react on prices as we'll as cause spoilage of dressed poultry"

SUFFRAGE PLANK MEETS
 APPROVAL OF SUFFRAGISTS

The suffrage plank of the constitu- tional convention is one that it is be- lieved will meet the approval of the most ardent suffragist. It was adopt ed unanimously by the committee, and so far as can be learned, there is no opposition to it among the members of the convention. It is as follows:
 "The rights of citizens of this state to vote and hold office shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. Both male and female citizens of this state shall enjoy equally all civil,

The Prescott daily news., 1918-04-25

The question of Japanese interven- tion in Siberia probably led to the withdrawal of Viscount Ichiro Motono from the foreign ministry, of which he had been the head since Novem- Der, 1916, when Count Terauchi form ed the present cabinet. There have been reports recently that Viscount Motono might resign in connection with the Siberian situation, but ex- plantations of such possibility were scanty.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on, ye brave. The shrieking
shell,
The quaking trench, he startled yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is we'll.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it thru,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

LIEUT.. ALLAN PETR|E
WRITES OF FRANCE
TELLS OF EXPERIENCES UNDER
SHELL FIRE
Says the Big American Army Has the
Most Splendid Equipment
of All Kinds

The following letter was received
recently by Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Pet
rie, having been written by their
son, Allan, who is serving as first
lieutenant with the American army
in France. Allan is fine type of
American boy and he tells in the let
ter something of how it feels for the
first time to be under shell fire:
"Has been some time since / have
been able to write, but the letters
ought to come more regularly now
for while as we have come back
out of the line, for rest and train
ing. We are now very comfortably
quartered in an old chateau, which is
very picturesque-beautiful shrub
berry and the furniture is massive.
After our experiences on the front
line of quite a noted sector, this
seems like paradise. We surely did
have some experiences up there, and
after lying in little hole in the
ground, with the Boche shells break
ing all around, and cutting the trees
and bushes off above you, scattering
the dirt all over you, one wonders
how it is possible to go through it for
so long and still be untouched. We
surely have been very lucky and hope
it will continue. was in command
of Co. E during the last engagement.
They did away with the Transport Of
ficer and sent me back to the line.
At present, during the absence of the
supply officer of this battalion, l am
back again with the horses, and it
seems good after marching so far.
Now have to take care of the trans
port, and also look after the supply
end of the battalion. 1t keeps me
pretty busy, but like it any way.
Dad, l wish you could see our line
of teams. They shine like nigger's
heel and were said to be the best in
the last march. Money is of no use
in this country and l am certainly
leading the simple life.

Old Vienna has maintained her proud
record in former Liberty Loan Drives
by going "over the top" with rush in
the fourth, last and largest of them
all. Moreover, it was done voluntarily,
which adds to the glory of the achieve
ment. No patriot was obliged to go
about the country urging other patriots
to do their duty, but everyone came
across of his own accord and can feel to
the full the comfort of an approving
conscience.
Last Sunday people in the various
school districts went to the school
houses and made their subscriptions in
the most generous and loyal spirit. En-
thusiasm aud cheerfuness was in evil
dence everywhere. At the Auditorium
in Clio big meeting assembled almost
spontaneously. Sunday afternoon The
band was present, songs were sung and
brief speeches were given by Township
Chairman E E. Huyck and others. In
addition to this, the Home Guards of
Montrose came over of their own accord
and gave an inspiring parade and drill
on the streets. A rising vote of thanks
was given these boys and the band for
their patriotic services.
On Monday evening a big roundup
meeting was held in the Auditorium.

and Barnes and by County Chairman
Roy Brownell and Dan Reed, of Flint
These gentlemen reused the audience to
a great height of enthusiasm and at the
conclusion of the speaking at least
$l0.000.00 in additional pledges were
voluntarily made. We shall net at
tempt to name those who subscribed
largely, although their action was
simply magnificent. The pledges rang
ed from $50 90 to $500. 90, $1,000, $4,000,
$4,000. and $4,000, the total being S73. 900
as we have said. In addition to these
: local subscriptions the township is en-
titled to credit for subscriptions made
by men residing here who work in the
factories in Flint and to a few SUBJ
scriptions made through Flint banks.
These, we feel safe. in assuming, will
bring US safely lover the top"
We are authorized to state, however,
that the Local War Board and the
County War Board are determined
that these citizens, if there be any, who
failed to do their duty shall be identified
and compelled to bear their share of the
burden of supporting their country.

amined and slackers will be made to
feel the error of their way. Steps in

DIED FOR LIBERTY.

Last week Mr.. and Mrs. Enard
Leach received the sad intelligence
that their grandson, Raymond Allen,
whose former home was in Arbela,
had died of wounds received while
fighting on the bloody fields of
France. Raymond was a fine look
ing, splendid boy, and the sorrow that
his parents and grandparents feel at
his untimely death must be tempered
by a sublime pride that he gave his
life for his country and the great
cause of humanity. At the time of
Raymond's death his brother was on
the ocean, on his way to France, to
join him in defending his country's
hoor. In relation to the death of this
young American hero, we clip the
following from recent issue of The
Flint Daily Journal:
'Mr. and Mrs. Charles Allen of
Tuscola county, have received an
official telegram from Washington,
announcing that their son, Sgt. Ray
mond Lee Allen, had died September
2 of wounds received in action. Sgt.
Allen was graduated from Baker uni
versity in 1915, and took clerical
position with Buick Motor company.
He joined the Flint Machine Gun
company about a week before that
company was called to Grayling, was
transferred to the border and then to
the 500 and again to Waco. He was
transferred overseas in February
1918. From letters received by rela-
tives here dated August "a and 26 he
stated he was in rest camp having
Just returned from the trenches. Ev-
identity he. was Immediately returned
to the firing line as he died Septem-
Der 9, just two days after attaining
his majority"
Raymond received his wounds in
the great charge made by his regi-
ment on the German positions before
Metz during the last days of August,
when all of the members of his COM
pany, save as, were killed or wound
ed Beside his parents he is survived
by the brother above referred to and
two sisters.

On Tuesday evening about two
hundred people met at the church
in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Benson. A
very interesting program, with j. F.
Wirth as POSTMASTER, and arranged
by the Ever Ready Class, was enjoyed
and many were the expressions of re-
gret that the relations which have so
pleasantly existed for the past eight
years have been severed. There were,
as well, words of appreciation for
the many kindnesses and faithfulness
of both guests of honor and best
wishes for their future in their new
field of endeavor, which seems so
full Of opportunity. A miniature chair
together with a purse was presented
in behalf of their friends and Rev.
and Mrs. Benson responded in their
ever pleasing manner, expressing re-
gret also, but going with the same
thought in mind with which they have
labored so faithfully in the past, that

OUR LIBERTY LOANS

There never was war like this
before in all the world. We are de-
termined there shall be another.
That is why the Allied nations lend
their money gladly to hasten the end.
There are now between twenty and
twenty-five million liberty bond hold
ers in the United States. Our first
Liberty Loan was for $4,000, 900.
1t was oversubscribed a billion dol
lars.
Our second Liberty Loan was over
subscribed Sd per cent.
Our third Liberty Loan was for
100000, 700, but 100000 people
wanted bonds, and so $4,170,019,650
worth of bonds were sold.
The Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign will begin Saturday, Septem-
Der %, and close Saturday, Oct. 10.
We will answer as we have answered
before to our boys "Over There"
Suppose we are called upon for
6,0OO,0OO,0OO. This seems like a
stupendous amount, and yet the re-
sources of our banks at this time
equal nearly seven times this
amount.
If we lived in Germany we might
well fear that the country could
never pay back such sums of money.
Before the war, Germany was worth
$50, 0,0OO,000,00O. She is now in debt
$50, 100000. America is worth
about $250,00O,00O,000. We earn
each year about $5O,OOO,OOO. Our
national debt, including the third
Liberty Loan, is only about $12,-
0O0,O00,000.

oversubscribng her quota of S2S, 900 by
more than $1,000. This is the first

excess subscriptions this time will go
long way toward squaring the old scores.
