Mrs. w. r. Copeland, 7l0 Hazel
ST., returned Sunday evening from
fifteen months service, the greater
part of which was with the Third
Corps Artillery park which had to-
do with the transportation Of mu-
nitions in France. He is one of
four sons of this family, who have
been in service and whose record
has been remarkable in that not
one Of them has been wounded in
any war nor even been sick during
the entire time.
Wayne, who was the first to re-
turn, went to an engine school in
Des Moines, was transferred from
there to, Camp McClelland, Ala
bama where he remained until his
discharge in February.
Lyle, the oldest of the quartette,
was in the infantry but never sue
ceeded in getting farther than Camp,

charged in June and was married

mer and in the fall will go on a
homestead, which he had, previous
to the war, been proving on in
Wyoming.
Glen, the youngest son and the
first to enlist, is still in France. For
three and half months after the
occupation Of Germany he was sta
toned at Kelberg but was later re-
turned to France and is now at the
central records office at Bourges.
'sPollyanna" hasn't anything on
Mr.. and Mrs. Copeland in the way
of being glad. In spite of the fact
that they had given their four sons
to the service Mr.. Copeland was an
ardent war service worker in his
home district and a large contribu-
tor to ever fund. Both he and Mrs.
Copeland were an inspiration to
their neighbors because Of their en-
couraging way of looking on the
bright side and boosting all the

PRICE OF GOLF BALLS TO
BOOST COST OF GAME

CHICAGO, May 7.-Golfers and
others who play athletic games will
have to bear the brunt OF the new war
tax on athletic goods this summer it
ls announced by manufacturers Of balls,
clubs, rackets and other paraphernalia
Golf balls which have sold during the
high-price period of the war will ad-
vance from 10 to Is per cent and golf
clubs will bear price tags from Is to 26
per cent higher than last year. In most
cases producers In their spring price
lists quote golf balls that sold last sea-
son for 81 each at from $1.05 to $1.25,
although a few maintain the old price.
In some cases the tax will be paid by
the purchaser in addition to the cost OF
the ball. Golf balls that formerly sold
for IS cents will be advanced to 30
cents or 81, while those fetching rs
cents last season will subtract IS cents
from the purchaser hereafter. The SO
cent ball has mostly been annulled, the
minimum price now being 60 cents.
The price advance in golf clubs will
be about so cents to the club. Tennis
and other sporting goods will require
about the same proportionate increase
to cover the war tax. Ter years ago,
before the great boom in golf caused
the building OF free public links in every
city Of 10000 or more and the doubling
OF the number of private golf clubs, the
newly invented rubber core golf ball,

or three for 81. The price advanced
to 50 cents as the demand quickened

MRS. HOPE, OF

Society circles in London are startled
over the surprising sequel. just re-
vealed, to the recent electioneering
campaign in opposition to ex-Premier
Asquith of the handsome Mrs. Hope,
OF Luffness. Mrs. Hope, who aspired
to secure nomination as an independent
candidate for East Fife, is the widow
of a British officer, the late Lieut.. Col,
George Everard Hope, who has been
missing so long that he is presumed
to be dead. Col. Hope was a nephew
of Lord Rosebery and was otherwise
connected with tome of the most So
cially notable families in Great Britain.
OF all the many women candidates
for parliament Mrs. Hope, of Luffness,
was by far the most picturesque. That
is one reason for the surprise at the
charges made against her in a suit
brought in the Edinburgh court asking
that the widow be removed as guardian
| Of her children.

The suit was brought by Lieut., Col.
Earl Stanhope, who wears the distin-
guished service medal; Lieut.-Co l. Sir
Iohn A. Hope, a member Of parlia-
ment, and Herbert j. Hope, a lawyer
OF London. They have made the fol-
lowing charges;
That Mrs. Hope has shown herself
entirely unfit to be the guardian OF
her children.
THAT she has been guilty OF i'm
moral conduct and addicted to the ex-
cessive use of alcohol.
That she associates with undeslra-

children and conducts herself before
them in a manne calculated seriously
to prejudice their health and morals.
That she has repeatedly threatened
to injure the children.
THAT 1t would not be safe to allow
them to continue longer under her

petitioners say they are prepared to
prove the following allegations:

the afternoon of Sunday, Nov, rs, she
arrived at Luffness In a taxicab, ac-

In May, 1918, the children, with their
nurse, visited Harrogate, and Mrs
Hope, who had been in London, joined
them at York on June 10 to take them
home to Luffness. Mrs. Hope waited
till the night train. She was the worse
for drink, according to the bill. and
had a supply of whisky with which
she insisted on rubbing the children's
faces. She had no tickets, and at Ed
inburgh she refused to pay the neces-
sary fares, upon which there was an
alteration on the platform. The fares
were ultimately paid by the petition
ers' agents.
In July Mrs. Hope proceeded with her

panied by a discharged soldier, who
had been a professional boxer, and
whom she called her secretary. She
also took with her a case of whisky,
