Mineral Point will have a distin
guished visitor when Elk Governor j.
Frank Hanley, of Indiana, presidential
nominee of the Prohibition party in the
last election, and president of the Flying
Squadron Foundation speaks in the
Municipal Theatre on Sunday, March
81, at p. m. The we'll known states
man and orator comes to speak in be-
half of the Cause to which he has dedi-
Gated his life, that of the Prohibition of
the licensed liquor traffic. He should,
and no doubt will, be heard by large
audience. Not only does his Cause de-
serve such, but the standing of the man
deserves it. Those who do not believe
in Prohibition, honestly differing along
the lines of practibility and not morals,
should also hear Governor Hanley.
Every manly man desires to hear both
sides of the question.
Governor Hanly has made great
fight for the Temperance Cause. He is
naturally a fighter and possesses such
ammunition as ability and courage,
combined with energy and determina-
ton, to make a good fight. He is a
man of pleasing personality and an
orator of unusual ability
No charge will be made and it is ex
pected that the theatre will prove in
adequate to seat all those who will
want to hear him.

Useful Tree.

An American tree, known as the
shea, or butter tree, is beginning to at
tract commercial attention. It sup
plies not only nuts, but also butter
that may become an article of CONNER
cial Importance. It is already exported
to Europe, where makers of artificial
butter find use for it.
Almost two-thirds Of the nut is veg
etable butter. The tree begins to bear
when it is fifteen years old and reaches
its prime in twenty-five years. Choco-
late manufacturers could easily util-
ize the product. 1t might also be Of
use in making candles and soap.

Paris, March 25.-The German
monster cannon" which has been
bombarding Paris has been located in
the forest of st. Gobain, west of Laon
and exactly 122 kilometers (approxi-
mately 76 miles) from the Paris city
hall.
The gun bombarded Paris during the
greater part Of Saturday and Sunday.
The day was ushered in by loud
explosions from the ten-inch shells
and Immediately the alarm to take
cover was sounded.
This came at 6 SO o'clock and many
persons sought shelter, but greater
numbers of them appeared in the
streets on their way to the churches,
which were almost as we'll filled as
usual. The women who sell palm
leaves on Palm Sundays did their
usual thriving business.
At first the shells began arriving at
intervals of 20 minutes and the de-
donations, considering the Sunday
calm, seemed louder than those of
OdtuIudy.
Their power to disturb the equanim-
ity Of the populace, however, seemed
less, the people refusing to be dis
tracted from their Sunday habits to
any great extent.

the following quotation from a man
who was said to be in a position to

"The 3SO-millimeter gun which bonn

a distance of 25 miles, was located by
our airmen and soon put out Of action.
The same methods will be adopted with
regard to the 24O-millimeter gun which
has been bombarding Paris for the last
two days.
''Since Saturday our airplanes have
been looking for it and the fact that it
stopped firing is due, perhaps, to their
arrival. 1t will not be long before the
gun is definitely placed; then it's ca
