II you we're hearing how lost so
many of the people were last Sunday
becauss there were no services in the
churches, you would be impressed
with the devotion of the people to the
church. Let all intensity this love
by making the home these days as Ear
as possible take the place OF the
church. Let there be more of devo-
ton in the home. If you have not al
ready done so erect the Family Altar.
Let Prayers go up for the home, the
church, the Nation, our Allies and
the people. Now is the time to pray
for victory more than ever May the
God of peace and the God OF battles
be with you.
II public gatherings may be held
next Sunday you may be sure we
will have our services. In the mean
time pray God to stay the plague.
In the name of the Lord
Thomas jay Simons, the Minister.

Pure Food Officers
After State Offenders

Vermillicn, Oct. 12.-Inspectors of
the state food and drug department
have not been idle recently. as shown
by reviewing some of the penalties
inflicted for violation of state laws.
A butcher mt Brentford paid d fine
OF s25 in justice court at Redfeld
for slaughtering animals in a filthy
slaughterhouse. At Parkston and at
WATERFOWL successful prosecutions
were made by inspectors on account
of the sale OF offering for sale of rot
eggs. The offender at Parkston
was a producer and at Watertown q
grocer. Three merchants at Memo
recently contributed s25 each to the
Y. M. C. A. committee in lien of be-
ing prosecuted for selling rotten eggs
and in Huron a vendor of watered
cider contributed $50 to the Red
Cross in preference TO appearance
before O justice. A hawker at the
State Fair at Huron and another at
Mitchell each pleaded guilty to selling
an imitation for the genuine grape

MennOnites Not Exempt
From Military Service

Ottawa, Oct. 11-Mennonites who
have recently come from the United
States to western Canada will not by
that change of residence escape liza
bility for military service, 1t is stated.
Recently a number of members of
that sect, including SO who purchased
a tract of farm land for$800. 900, have
migrated into the Prairie provinces,
and their arrival has been followed
by allegations that they were seeking
in Canada sanctuary from the draft
law Hon. ]. A. Calder, minister of
colonization and immigration, during
his trip in the west has been waited
upon by a number OF delegations urg-
ing that the new settlers be not per-
mitted to evade service.
The recent arrivals from the United
States, 1t is argued. are not entitled
to claim exemption under that com
pact. Under the treaty between the
United States and Canada, they have
to decide whether they will return
to the United States and become sub
ject to the draft law of that country
or remain in Canada and submit to
the operation of the military service
act

Parcel Post bv Motor.

One of the biggest steps yet taken in
the Introduction Of motor trucks as a
city-to-city carrier results from the de-
cision of the postofflce department to
establish numerous parcel post motor
truck routes. These have already
been surveyed and aggregated between
1900 and 1000 miles In length. with
shorter routes. One chain Of routes
extends from Portland, Me-. TO New
Orleans, and another through the mid
die western states. while still others
connect principal cities ON the Pacific
coast. 1t is hoped that the operation
of these routes and of others to be es-
tablished will materially aid In the dis
tribution and In the lowering Of the
cost Of food products.

Flight Of The Night Mail"
Possible After The War

Chicago. Oct. 11-Kipling's dream
of the flight OF the night mail" great
planes racing from coast to coast and
from the Canadian border to the Gulf
OF Mexico, needless OF storms, guided
at nigh. by searchIights and in the
day by giant landing places, will be a
reality within three years, Captain B.
b. Lipsner, In charge OF the govern
ment's aerial mail service predicted
today.
A sunrise to sunset air mail service
between New York and San Fran
cisco, using the air plane equipment
Of the army now In service In France
or being built, with Chicago as the
hub az the system is being projected
now, he declared. The elimination Of
the railways as carriers OF first class
mail will take place soon after the
var he added
Captain Lipsner arrived in Chicago
to complete plans for the opening OF
the aerial mail between New York and
Chicago on November l. Commenting
on what has already ben accomplish
cd in the east, he said:
Last month we had a perfect o
In mail delivery between New York,
Philadelphia and Washington with no
accidents or casualties.
"rhe speed averaged was more than
125 miles an hour and ! believe this
can be maintained on all routes.
Night flying will soon be a regular
thing in the aerial mail service and
the planes we are using and building
will be able to fly in any kind OF
weather. While our present weight
carrying limit is70O pounds, | believe
We can soon arise It to five tons. The
Caproni planes will carry as much
mail rs an average mail train. At a
speed OF 125 miles a hour 1t will
cost no more than $50 an hour to OPP
crate q mail plane.

"Green Balls"

The Germans are great lovers OF
fireworks. and perhaps no one sees SC
much of these as the flyer by night
over the Hun lines.
There is n device, above all, which
Is most interesting and inexplicable,
as well as being extraordinarily beau
tiful. This is known variously as
Flaming onions" "chaln rockets and
green balls" 1t consists OF long
chains of brilliantly luminous balls, a
bright emerald In color. which rush
upward from the ground In lines of
thirty or forty. or even more. and
which are chiefly fred at allied ma
chimes when on bombing raids at night.
The green balls form light relief and
take the airman's nervousness and
strain away.

WALLER VANISHES

Waller has skipped bail bond was
the message received at police head
quarters last night from Sergeant
Waymack. dated at Lima, Ohio. This
message followed an interview with
Governor Cox by Sergeant waymack.
in which IL was intimated that the
requisition papers signed by Governor
Davis would be honored by the Ohio
executive.
Detective waymack will remain In
Lima and vicinity for several days
with the object OF locating and appre-
hending the fugitive. He was given
to understand by Captain Wright
when he left for Ohio that every step
must be taken TO secure custory OF
Waller.

Policeman Charles Deskins was in
custody in that city. and Detective
Thurman win leave for Washington

II was stated last night that Harry
Price had returned to his farm in Hem
rico. and would be on hand today
when the grand jury convenes. ready
10 give bond for his appearance for
trial on the seven indictments which
confront him.
These facts cover the extent Of the
result OF INQUIRIES last night. con-
corning matters pertaining to the po-
lice scandal The grand jury will
meet today at 10 o'clock. and on to-
morrow the case of those who stand
indicted by the June Jury Will be set
for hearing.
Commemorative Attorney wise gave
no hint yesterday OF what to expect
IA reference to the proposed custer
proceedings against four men con-
nected with abe police department.
These four embrace the chief, the
clerk and purchasing agent. zone Of
IT was reported around the resorts
last night that the purpose of the
delay In custer action In due TO the
fact that the four cases will be laid
before the grand jury today. II was
said that further evidence In the four
cases had been secured, and that this
evidence would be handed the grand
jury today. and that possibly true bills
might be returned by that body.
This report could not be verified.
Neither Judge Richardson nor Com
ronweaiths Attorney Wise would
discuss the matter. 6oth indicating
that progress was being made and
that at the proper time ths public

said yesterday that Mr., Smith Will also
look out fer the interests OF Po!ics-
man Bolton.
None OF the men who are under sus-
pension had been served with custer
notice last night. and this fact led to
strong belief Of tho possibility of
some basis for the report that the
grand Jury may today take cogrixarce
of the mater,
While Judge Richardson would not
indicate that he might offer sugges-
lions 20 the grand jury today, Il Ia be-
lieved that he may direct their atten-

that the investigation be proceeded

Senator Borah was asked today
whether he considered prosecution OF

whether fraud had been committed II
