How Diphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression,
"IIy chidl caught a severe cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-
ible to the wandering diphtheria germ.
If your child has a cold when diph-
iberia is prevalent you should take
him out of school and keep him off
the street until fully recovered, as
there is a hundred times more dan
ger of his taking diphtheria when he
has a cold When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the dan
ger of diphtheria or any other germ
being contracted-Adv. DIV

BUSINESS MEN
TO PROFIT BY
VICTORY LOAN
Uncertainty of 1920 Revenue
Tax May Bring Business
Stagnation.

Oklahoma City, April S.-A busl-
ness man cannot afford to fail to
back up the Victory Liberty loan
with the last dollar that he can
spare from his business, in the opin-
ion of N r. Graham Of the State
Victory loan committee who will be
on hand with his pledge on Volunteer
Day, April %.
Should a merchant buy bonds" )"
he repeated. "Yes, emphatically, all
his business will permit him to buy,
but net so many as to make it nee
essary to sell them in the near fu-
ture.
Why should he buy bonds? Well,
for several reasons, only three of
which l will emphasize here. First
for patriotic reasons. Every bond
purchased is a note of confidence
in the government as at present con
Quoted and serves also as a token Of
confidence in its future integrity.
No merchant who enjoys the protec-
ton Of the Stars and Stripes should
hesitate to protect that flag with his
surplus earnings
Second, bonds draw a good, fair
rate Of interest, when the ampleness
Of the security is taken into consid-
Grafton Only when forced to sell
them can any loss be sustained
Third, a purely selfish one, as a
matter of self-protection Secretary
Glass informs us that if this bond
issue fails, it will De necessary to
raise from four to six billions Of dol
lars direct taxation This would be-
a heavy burden to bear, not only to
the business man, but to every indi
vidual. By buying bonds the indi
vidual puts his money on deposit
with the government. By paying a
like amount in direct taxes his mon
ey is gone forever. Bonds mean a
profit to the buyer, taxation means |
loss.
"The peril of an assessment of an
extra two billions affects not only
the man who pays but all branches
of trade, business and industries.
The uncertainty Of a fifty per cent
increase in his income tax until con,
gress meets to determine the 1920

therefore become the greatest los.

company. Turnout the day Marshalls
famous band furnished street music
and in the evening music from this
band kept time for hundreds of dane
ing couples who used one block of
Broadway for a dance floor. r. L.

of Topeka sang numerous catchy solos
and duets during the afternoon and
evening which drew rounds of ap-
plause.
At the big Masonic hall where a
banquet of fried chicken and other
good things was served, Miss Mar
guerite Frisbie of Topeka, hula-hula
dancer for the Heighloa Hawaiian
Four, by her dancing threw the SOL

Frisbie first danced among the tables
and then as a climax to the dinenr, a
long table was cleared and she sprang
onto the table and danced five 'encores.
Thousands marched in big parade

ARREST FOUR REDS
Maria Nardini, "Quecn of Reds" Held
for Alleged Anarchy Plot.

Chicago, May 12.-Four alleged an
archists, among them Maria Nardini
known as Queen of the Reds" were
under arrest and waiting orders from
Washington, D. c., here today. The
arrests followed a nationwide hunt
for two weeks.
Police said they found evidence of
an Independence Day strike here as
a protest against the failing of Tom
Mooney. Along with Mrs. Nardini
were arrested her husband, Pasquale,
Adolph Fratesi and Joseph Fratiffe.
The four were released from a Wis
consin penitentiary two weeks ago.
They had been sentenced to rs years
in prison in connection with the bomb
explosion in Milwaukee in 1917, in
which nine policemen and one woman
were killed. A supreme court deci-
sion, reversing the lower court deci-
sion, gave them liberty.
A quantity of anarchistic literature
and empty revolver cartridges were
found. Police say the four had open
ed communications with a group of
Reds" in Gary, Ind, and that plans
were being made for a general up
rising"

the stipulations have been made in
favor of the allied and associated
governments. For instance, those re-
garding the surrender of personal
property, the search for missing OBJ
jects and the care of graves might be
cited. 1t is assumed these questions
demand for a complete reciprocity, II
founded on general human rights"
The note then refers to a number of
minor points and proposes that de-
alterations by commissions should be
begun speedily to clear up prelimi-
naries in readiness for the time when
shipping and similar difficulties may
be solved and the removal of the
prisoners may be possible. 1t alludes
to the importance to Germany that
the prisoners return home under
orderly conditions, insuring their re-
instatement into economic life with
the greatest possible dispatch, and says
this seems only possible if everything
is done to raise the moral and phys
icaI state of those returning"
The note concludes:

preston of my most particular es-

Labor Calls for Attention.
In his note dealing with labor ques-
ton, Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau
says the German government agrees
with the allied and associated govern
ments that the greatest attention must
be paid to the problems.
Internal peace and human progress
depend on how these questions are
handled. The note says:
THE demand for social justice re-
peatedly drawn up on this connec-
ton by workers of all lands only
partly finds endorsement in principle
in this section of the allied govern
ment draft of the peace terms. These
high demands have for the most part
already been carried out in an admit
tedly exemplary fashion in the Ger
man empire"
Referring to the draft of an agree
ment on international labor compiled
by the German government and pro-
posed by the German league of ma
lions, the note says:
I'm order, in the interest of all llu-
mainly, to put these principles every
where into practice, the acceptance of
the German delegations proposal is
certainly requisite. We consider it
necessary that all states should join
in this agreement even if they do not
belong to the league of nations.
Urge Immediate Meeting.
I'm order to assure the workers for
whom these proposed improvements
are destined cooperation in shaping
these principles the German delega-
ton considers 1t necessary to convoke
representatives OF the national organ
iZatiOns of the labor unions of all the
contracting parties to a conference
at Versailles, even during peace nego-
tons to deliberate and make decisions
on international law. 1t considers it
would be advantageous that the pro-
| ceedings of this congress be based on
decisions reached at the international
| trades union conference held at
| Berne, February 5 to 8, 1919. We
| append a copy of these decisions
which have, been accepted by the rep

big FOUR WILL NOT REPLY
VIII Turn Petitions Over to Ex-
perts For Consideration First.
Foe Urges Reciprocal Policy in
Repatriation of Captives.

Paris, May 1.-THE council of four
at It's meeting today decided to refer
the German notes on labor and war
prisoners to experts for consideration
instead of answering them at once. as
1t did the first two communications
from the German delegates.
The first of these notes asked that
there be a reciprocal policy adopted as
to the repatriation of prisoners, and
requested that the details of the trans
fer be placed in the hands of a COM
mission. In his second note the head
of the German peace delegation ad
vanced a counter project as to inter-
national labor legislation. According
to the newspapers the basis for the
second note is a labor charter inspired
by the conferences at Leeds and Berne
and they urge that the purpose is to
create among Socialists an opinion ia
vorable to Germany by putting in di-
rect collaboration the working classes
and the present government of that
country.
- Urges IA Commission.
. Count Won Brockdorff-R in
his note relative to repatriation of
prisoners. asks that the details of the
transfer be entrusted to commissions.
The German foreign minister states
that the German peace delegation has
noted with satisfaction that the draft
of the treaty recognizes in principle
the repatriation of German war and
civilian prisoners with great expedi-
ton. and says special commissions
might carry on direct oral discussions
which would include all belligerent
states, it being pointed out that even
during hostilities this has proved a
most effective way of solving difficult
ties. The note says this world should
be much easier, now that the war is
over and would remove differences of
conception or lack of clearness on par
ticular points, such as legal concep-
tons in individual countries. The Ger
man delegation, it is said, considers 1t
indispensable that those war and civ
ilian prisoners detained or undergoing
punishment for other than disciplinary
offenses should in principle be in
cluded among those to be uncondi-
tionally repatriated.
Regarding war and civilian pris-
oners of allied and associated powers

many has recognized the same prin-
ciple. 1t appears self-evident to the

grounds of fairness certain allevia-
tions in the treatment of prisoners
should be agreed upon pending then

SET FOR BIG HOP
American "Nancies" at Trepas-
sey, Ready to Start for Azores.
Weather May Delay 1,200-Mile
Flight Until Tomorrow.

Aboard U. S. S. Prairie, Trepassey,

cies" are all set for their 1900 mile
flight to the Azores. en- route to Por-
tugal, but early today it was not be-
heved likely a start would be made
before tomorrow. Weather reports
were being received from the destroy
ers strung across the Atlantic, relayed
from ship to ship.
The huge planes were given another
inspection, in which every motor,
every stay, was gone over inch by
inch. There was considerable talk of
awaiting arrival of NC-4, which was
forced to stop at Chatham, Mass, for
motor repairs. If the NC-4 makes a
quick. direct flight from Chatham to
Trepassey. it is believed possible the
three naval machines can start to-
gether on the longest hop of their
transatlantic flying attempt.
Harry Hawker, pilot of the British
Sopwith airplane who has been in
Newfoundland for weeks waiting
suspicious weather conditions, sent
wishes for good luck to the American
aviators today. The big navy planes
have been able to sail serenely thru
head winds that kept the British sim
gle motored craft on the ground. This
fact causes apprehension in the Brit
ish camps, as it is evident the United
States flyers will not hesitate to start
in weather that would make a Sop
with flight unsuccessful.
Commander ]. H. Towers, admiral
of the transa tlantic fleet declared this
morning that plans after their arrival
at Plymouth, England, were as yet
unfounded. 1t has been suggested
that the Americans might fly back to
the United States.

MILITARY: The Austrian and
Hungarian armies will be reduced to
mere police forces. They must be
maintained on a volunteer basis, as
CONSUMPTION will be abolished. All
munitions and artillery will be sur

NAVAL: All except a nominal
number of warships will be surren-
dered.
Easy Economic Rules.
ECONOMIC: The economic provi-
sions will be along the same lines as
those of the German treaty, save that
the conditions will be infinitely easier
owing to the breakup of the empire.
Pre-war debts will be shared by the
Czecho- Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs, Hungar-
ians and Austrians in the proportion
of their interest in the obligations
while they were a part of the empire.
PREPARATIONS: A permanent fl
