German Prisoners From
England are Well Fed
fBy Associated Press)

BERLIN, Oct. 23-The prisoners of
war, returned from England are we'll
fed and clothed, writes c. M. Schmidt
from the collection camp at Meschede,
where the men concentrated and then
are sent to their homes.
They are naturally overjoyed to be
at home, their relatives sometimes
frantic with Joy at having them. The
pleasant picture IS dulled only by one
blot-the Independents, Spartacists
and Communists are already at work
trying to win the prisoners to their
side. and have even placed agents
where they can most easily get in
touch with the men and preach their
unrest and chaos and disorder.
The forces behind the move have
put a great number of Communistic
and Spartacist women into the game,
on the theory that the prisoners after
years without their wives and sweet
hearts will succumb more easily,
Herer Schmidt ports to his own
obvious satisfaction that the women
are having little success, and the pris-
oners in huge majority announce their
intention Of standing by the empire.

A Shampoo Worth Trying

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out
all the natural beauty of the hair
and may be enjoyed at a verS little
expense. by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox, which can be obtained
from any druggists, in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough SO it is easy
to apply to all the hair instead of
just to the top of the head. This,
when rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand Of hair, chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in it's action, as
well as beneficial to both scalp and
hair. After rinsing out the lather so
created, you will find the scalp Is
fresh, clean and free from dandruff,
evenly, developing a bright luster and
a soft fluffiness that makes it seem
very heavy.-Adv.

WATSON ASSERTS
HE HAS PROOF ON
COMMISSION "REDS''

WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
Watson, answering defenders of the
Federal Trade Commission, repeated
on the floor of the senate Wednesday
that his information about Socialists
and extreme radicals, including some
Reds, having wormed their way into
the employ OF a government in which
they do not believe, is entirely relia-
BILE and trustworthy" and he declared
confidently that he will prove his
charges when the committee takes up
an investigation Of the charges con-
tanned in his resolution.
Proof of the charges of Senator Wat
son was challenged by the commits
sion. In a formal statement 1t charged
Senator Watson with having relations
with the Chicago meat packers and de-
clared that his allegations against the
commissions employees were part Of
the warfare of the packers against
the commission and the department
Of justice with the purpose of sub
verting Justice"
The commission further alleged that
it was not a coincidence" that the en-
ployes attacked by Senator Watson
were those who had been summoned
to testify in the case against the
packers, which the department Of JUS
tice soon is to present to a federal
grand jury in Chicago.
LAS the witnesses are about to en-
ter the grand jury ROOM" said the
commissioner there is every effort
to discredit them"
Accept the Challenge.
Declaring that while they them
selves had stood many attacks, secret
and public, the commissioners said
they would be derelict in their duty if
they should let pass unchallenged "the
false, outrageous and despicable as
sault" made upon members of their
staff, whose only offense is that they
have stood steadfast in the perform
ance of their duty under constant
harassment, resisting cajoleries, offers
Of employment and attempted seduc-
tons"
At the time the commissions state
ment was made public Senator Wat
son was informing the senate that
none of the information on which his
charges had been based was furnished
by representatives of the packers;
that all of it had come from inside the
commission itself He also declared
that he was investigating the activ-
tiles of Socialists in other depart
ments of the government and would
make known the results to the public
from time to time.

Local Merchapt May
Handle u. S. Stores

Mayor Zimmerman received a letter
Thursday from the army zone supply
officer at Jacksonville, informing him
that the government is disposing of
surplus through retail stores in munic-
qualities over the country, and giving
him instructions in case any local
merchants want to carry the stock.
The letter stated that the war de-
partment had authorized the Jeffer.
sonville depot to accept bulk orders
from any local buyin. Organization.
The only assurance necessary would
be that the business house handling
the supplies would guarantee that the
goods would be delivered to the con-
sumner at the government retail price.

MAY ESTABLISH STATE GAME FARM
 IN THIS COUNTY

P. The Fairfield County Fish and Game Protective Association last night took steps towards establishing a state game farm in this county upon the sugges- tion of Frank E. Clark, who offered to contribute substantial sum toward the project.
 Following the business meeting there was general talk on the experiences of several during the last several months. Frank Fault of this city said there was plenty of raccoons, while William L. Belknap told of his duck shooting and said he expected to go again before very long. Dr. J. Mur- ray Johnson told of shooting wood cock and partridge, while E. B. Beers spoke of quail shooting. A. P. Ford spoke of shooting English snipe and George Stiltz said there was plenty of partridge in Long Hill.
 Everyone of the speakers was con- yinced that with a reasonable winter and a dry June next year, the game birds will be plentiful. Most of those who spoke said they never saw so many birds and they all believed the shooting next fall would furnish plenty of sport. Mir. Beers said he hadn't seen sa many quail in 20 years as he saw this past fall.

OBJECTIONABLE TEXT BOOK IS
 ORDERED OUT
Board of Education Votes For 25 Per Cent. Increase
 to Teachers.

Orders for removal of book call ed the Spirit of Democracy" which contained poems objectionable to the Irish were given at the meeting of the Board of Education last night af- ter a three months fight by the Irish leaders of the city.

 The Board will have complete fig ures submitted on the night of Dec 29, when the Board will meet to pre- pare its final budget for the city. Il Is expected that the increase for the teachers will cost the city about $26,- 900 a year. The teachers asso ociation submitted figures to show that the in crease was sadly needed.
 When the meeting convened last night the committee composed of FL ner H. Haven and Dr. c. w. Osborne, reported that the text book which MT. SIawson admitted he purchased at a cost of 90 cents each. to the number of about 500, was unfit for use in the schools in view of a poem, which it contained, practically calling the Irish race quitters in the recent war. There was some objection and 8 few members wanted to remove the leaves containing the poem, but others objected and the entire book was or dered taken out of the school rooms of the city.
 Bids for constru ction work opened at the meeting last night showed that the work for the proposed addition to Mckinley school would cost more than was available The Board has S135.000 for the work and the low est bid was $183,6O4
 The only other business to come be- fore the Board with the exception of new school building appropriations was permits for the use of the High school auditorium for the Chautauqua and the appointment of Harrison A Cody, of Fall River, Mass. as in st1uctor of foreign languages at the High school Other requested per mits were taken under considera- ton.
