The first birthday of child is a
big event in most families, and so it
proved to be in the case of little Miss

her first milestone Saturday. In her
honor, Grandma Edwards, the men,
bers of the Methodist church cradle
roll and their mothers were invited
to be present and celebrate the &C.

HURLEY FEARS
 SHIP BUILDING
 WITHOUT BOOZE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.- Since the Jones amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill was adopted providing for immediate and absolute prohibition, there has been considerable objection on the part of the shipbuilding committee. Bain- bridge Colby made a very strong stand against it, and the matter was left at rest until the senate committee on the appropriation could investigate his statement. Today Chairman Hurley of the shipping board came out strong with similar statement. He believes that it would put the shipbuilding 25 per cent be- hind. He says that the chief labor difficulties have occurred in the dry states, while a greater number of men are employed in the wet states, 125,OOO being employed in the for mer and 290,OOO in the latter. He quotes Postmaster General Burleson as fearing that absolute prohibition at this time might interfere with the prosecution of the war.
