NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

The necessary number of states has given assent to
ratification of the federal prohibition amendment and
the first of next June the manufacture and sale of
liquor are forbidden by law. Social drinking will be-
come an abandoned custom and arranging the appro-
pirate service of wines for formal dinner will become
of the lost arts.
The United States is the first great nation to make
the experiment of nationwide prohibition. If proves
satisfactory here other nations will doubtless adopt it,
1t decided that the best form of embodying this
great change would be in the form of amendment to
the Constitution This will the most vigorous en-
forcement of the law and will enable the effect of it upon
the nation to be speedily observed.
The fact that many Of the states have consented to
ratification is significant of great change in public opn-
on few years ago it would have been thought abso
lutey impossible that the United States should 90 bone
dry within the lifetime of the present generation Even
among those who heartily approved of the principle Of
prohibition it would have seemed inconceivabe that the
nation should adopt it. Admitting that the of alcohol
was subject to great abuse, would the public sand for
it's withdrawal?
The fact that the nation entered into war and that
prohibition was strictly enforced in the army gave
great impetus to it's advance The praccaity of nation
wide prohibition has been and confirmed in
the minds of people in general The proof of this is the
rapid response which the states have made in ratfyng
the amendment.
This legislation will undoubtedly Danish altogether
some existing evils and minimize Others 1t will be the
plain duty of every citizen of the United States to con-
form to the law both in the letter and the spirit.

GROUL s CRIME
SHOCKS NORTH.
ERN KENTUCKY
Grave Of Young Girl I'm Campbell
County Cemetery Desecrated-De-
tectives Follow Clues.

The desecrated grave of 15-year-old
Clara Fischer in st. Stephens ceme-
terry, one mile south of Ft. Thomas,
KY, will be re-opened this time at the
request of the heart-broken mother,
Mrs Fischer, fears that Ghouls may
have revisited the grave and stolen the
body.
No crime in years has agitated the
residents of Campbell county more
greatly than the despoliation of the
girls grave. Various clues are being
run down, but no arrests have been
made.
Clara Fischer, the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Anton Fischer, of COS East
Third street, Newport, died last week
and the body was buried Thursday af-
ternoon Some time Thursday night
the grave was opened and the body re-
moved Early Friday the sexton of
the cemetery discovered the crime.
The body had not been mistreated ap-
parently. 1t was taken from the cas-
ket, however, after the coffin had been
carried to secluded place hidden by
the broken branches of tree 1t was
then carelessly replaced in the casket.
Detectives working on the case have
followed several clues. One theory
is that the crime was that of a per-
son mentally affected. Another clue
that was followed concerned woman
in black who appeared near the scene
| Thursday evening, it is alleged She
was questioned by the private detec
tives in the case Monday, but could
give no information that would be of
| assistance in the case. Another theory
held was that the unknown ghouls
might have had a desire to discredit
someone connected with the cemetery
by means of a sensational incident.
| That the work of exhuming
the body was that of an expert is in
dicated by the comparative quiet with
| which the work was done, no one in
the immediate vicinity having heard
any noise. A gray automobile is also
| being sought as a clue.

SARDIS PLANNING MEET
FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS
Sardis Community Club to Be Organ.
lied Wednesday to Make Up Plans
For Home Coming Celebration.

There will be very important
meeting of the people of the Sardis
neighborhood at Sardls on Wednes-
day evening when a Community Club
Will be organized. The Sardis end of
the organization is being looked after
by Prof. Hopkins, the live-wire school
principal at that place.
These Community Clubs are being
organized in all parts of the county
under the direction and supervision of
County Agent George Kirk and they
are proving splendid organizations for
the community and for the county as
whole. Nothing that County Agent
Kirk has done since he has been in
our county has been of more benefit
to the county as whole than the or
ganization in the various neighbor-
hoods of these Community Clubs. Had
these clubs been organized and work
ing before the war they would have
been of great assistance in the various
wartime activities.
The Sardis Club Just as soon as
organized, will begin plans for a home
coming celebration to be held in hon
or of the boys of the Sardis neighbor-
hood who went to war. This is ex-
pected to be a great celebration.

CENTRAL LABOR
COUNCIL may Be
FORMED HERE
Labor Organizations In Maysyille Plan
Central Organization In Which
Each Can Be Helpful to the
Qther-City Well Organized.

Maysville is now pretty we'll or
ganized so far as labor organizations
are concerned The cigar makers,
BARRIERS, brick layers, carpenters and
clerks all have union organizations
but there is no central connection be-
tween all of these organizations.
1t has been suggested that, as in
other cities, the Maysville labor un-
ions organize a Central Labor Coun-
Gil to be composed of "a representative
of all of the local unions for their mu-
tual benefit. Such Central Labor
Councils meet regularly and in this
organization the various representa-
tives of the various unions let their
troubles be known to. the representa-
tives of the other unions, thereby un-
iting all union men and women of the
city together toward common end.
This suggestion will be brought be-
fore the various local unions at their
next regular meetings and action will
be taken on the suggestion. Through
this Central Labor Organization those
proposing it, point out that the la
boring men and women of the city
will have much more power to accom-
plish their ends whatever those ends
may be and in case of trouble with
one union, all union men and women
of the city will be pledged to assist.
