Dancing Partners.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS Fairfax:
I have taught a good looking
younG man how to dance, and I
would like to have him for my
regular partner. Yet the other
girls and boys whom we all 20
with. say that he will find another
girl now that he knows how to
dance. am considered a perfect
dancer. yet I want him only. II
you were in my place would you
feel hurt IL he danced regularly
with another girl? l feel like I
was only used as a tool. Don't
misunderstood me. l am not in
love with him. DOROTHY A.
Your friendly service in teach
ing the young man to dance GER
tainly does not entitle you to claim
him as a permanent partner.
Don't you think it IS bad plan to
try to establish personal mono
poles by any such means? 1t is
fortunate that you are not in love
with him. e.

interest and welfare Of the retail
dealer.
The importance Of such a move
ment has long been recognized by
retail dealers throughout the state.
It is pointed out that states having
similar organizations, as the one pro-
posed, have accomplished great deal
in matters of legislation favorable to
the retailer as well as protecting his
interests.
Hon. John M. Parker has endorsed
the movement and in his letter states
that the Food Administration has
from the first urged all interests to
organize and harmonic. Service
rendered by organized bodies has
proven most effective and satisfac-
tory and the food administration has
benefited most by organized co-opera-
ton. Unity of action, says Mr.. Park,

er, appears especially valuable and
desirable among the retail dealers.
We are so sure that organization
among them will be of great help to
the food administration and to the
nation, to the dealers themselves as
well as to the consumers, that we
have no hesitation in urging organiza-
ton and cooperation for their own
and the pubEc's good.
The movement is being fostered
by A. T. Felt, general secretary Of

the eastern end of the pocket eight
miles further west, which makes
Merry -Premecy the marker on the
east. Thus has the nutcracker
squeezed the German pocket until
the mouth of it is only twenty one
miles wide from side to side, and is
now under the range of the Allied
guns.
1t is reported that Allied officials
have learned the Germans have been
ordered to resist the oncoma1g tide at
all costs. The artillery on the main
battle front, on the Marne, in the
region of Dormans, was so terrific its
roar could be heard in Paris. At
this point the Germans are making
desperate efforts to enlarge the area
IN which they are imprisoned and the
Allies are doing their best to aid him
in this desire-by forcing him to find
more room in the rear. It is reported
from London that ten divisions have
been sent to the Crown Princes aid.
Military experts can't figure out this
move will impede the allied advance
as the Germans are having plenty of
trouble to care properly for the
hordes already crowding the narrow
salient.

CITIZENS ELECT PRACTICALLY
ENTIRE VILLAGE TICKET

Practically the entire Citizens tic
ket before the people in the election
Of Tuesday was swept into office
on the wave of indignation caused
by the manner in which the village
affairs had been managed the past
two years by the men seeking re-
election on the, Municipal ticket.
DR.. n. f. Charlton, Citizens can
didate for mayor, was unoppOsed
for that office and received 2i2 votes
Robt. w. lsaacs was elected treas
,urer by a majority Of 8S votes, he
receiving 1877 while Stats Rankin, his
opponent received only l09.
After the fact that Mary L. Ryan
had declined to make the race for
village clerk became generally known
the voters switched their support
to Mrs. Fairchild, running indepen-
IDENTITY, and elected her by a major
ity of 80 votes.
j. h. kCrlin, running as an indie
pendent candidate fer marshall, re
ceivcd 1873 votes and Frank Hoover,
on the Municipal ticket and endors-
ed by the Citizens received only
t26 votes.
The real fight for supremacy, and
where the Citizens scored their real
victory and cinchcd control of their
village affairs, was in the race for
trustees. The three Citizens candi-
dates were elected by substantial
majorities over the three seeking
reelection on the Municipal ticket.
Charles Claggett received 203 votes
and Chriss Otto l2i, giving Claggett
majority of 80.
w. C.. Johnson and Carl Eklund
ran very close, Johnson winning out
against the Municipal tickets strong
candidate by the least majority. He
received l9i votes and Eklund i2l

MAKE ROOM FOR BUILDING

room for the handsome new build

Workmen have completed the task
of demolishing the old building and
have already started excavating for

"OEW" JOHNSON GOES TO
STATE PENITENTlARY ALONE

Grover C: Dewey Johnson, con-
victed of the crime of murder and
sentenced to fifteen years in the
state penitentiary, left Thursday
morning for Santa Fe, to present
himself to the Warden of that in
stitution after being nitihed that
the Supreme Court had upheld the
decision of the District Court.
Some two years ago Johnson was
called to his home by a telephone
message from his wife stating that
a man was prowling about the house.
He left the pool hall and encountered
the man near his home. The man,
who it is now believed was simply
seeking a roOming house, was struck
to the ground by Johnson and died
later as a result of a fractured skull.
johnson was tried for, and convict
ed of murder. He appealed the case
but the decision of the lower court
has been sustained
The whole affair is rcgrettable in
the eXtreme and is one of those
tricks of fate that are uneXplainable.
Dewey Johnson is not a man who
would kill a fellow-being and is one
of the best liked and most respected
men of this community. The man
he killed was not prowler and was
we'll respected citizen of his homo
community near hes MGincs.
While the many friends of Johnson
regret that he must serve the sem
tcnce imposed their respect for him
is only increased by his action in
surrendering himself to the warden
Immediately upon hearing that the
Supreme Court had upheld the de-
cisiQn Of the lower court.
The following telegram to the
News was received Friday, and the
News takes pleasure in giving it the
publicity requested:
In pursuance Of the mandate of
| Supreme Court | am there to pre-
sent my self to tho Warden of the
penitentiary to enter upon the per-
! formance of my sentence. Will you
kindly lend your columns for this
brief message to my friends and
bondsmen whom | have been unable
| to see personally to assure them of
my deep appreciation of their kind
ness towards me.

TELEPHONE SERVICE BEING
RAPIDLY RE-ESTABLISHED

Clayton telephone service is being
rapidly re-estabished after some
two weeks in which no service was
furnished owing to the damage done
by the heavy snow storm of week
before last.
The storm made a complete wreck
Of Frank Clark's poles and wires
but he Immediately hired every
available man and started repair
work.
The force of twenty-seven men
soon had some sixty phones in work
ing order again and service was re-
stored in the business section the
first of the week in nearly all in
stances. Service in the residence dis
trct will have been re-established
by the time this article appears in
print.

not be secured for Sunday, April Z,
the Community Flag Raising and
Liberty Loan celebration has been
postponed until the fifteenth of this

ample time to advertise the affair

WILL HAVE TWO BIG MONDAYS
IN CLAYTON IN THE FUTURE

Clayton and Union County are out
growing old customs. For the past
few First Mondays the village has
been too crowded to breathe freely,
and there has been too much stock
and other stuff to sell at the auct-
ions in one day.
Because of this fact there is a
movement among the merchants of
the village to haVethesc sales on the
third Monday of each month as we'll
as the first. That will give Union
County folk two days in which to
visit town and trade with the mer-
chants or swap with their neigh
bors from distant parts of the county
Big Monday is an institution in
Union County. And as the first Mon
day is day of bargains at the local
stores and at the auction sales so
it is planned to make Third Monday.
April fifteenth will be the first
Third Monday IN Clayton. 1t will be
in all respects similar to Big Mon
day. Bring in your surplus farm i'm
plements, your livestock, and your
farm produce on that day. You will
find the people here that you always
find on Big Monday, and you Will
find the same bargains at the stores
and at the Third Monday Sales.
