REPORT UNCERTAIN
Report of Horrible Disaster Is
Received at Key West, Flor

Key West, Fla, Sept, Sept. 20
A wrecking crew is today at the
scene of the reported wreck Of the
Spanish ship Valbanera investigating
the report brought to Key West late
yesterday that she had sunk with
four hundred sa1d fifty souls aboard.
The naval station here is using every
facility possible 10 ascertain whether
the crew Of $50 and the 800 passen-
gers have been lost OF escaped death.
Il is hardly believed possible that any
survived because it is almost GER
tain they would have landed or have
been picked up and brought in by
steamers arriving since the gulf
storm swept the southeastern coast.
Report of the disaster was brought
here late yesterday with the arrival
of the U. S. sub-chser 203, whose
chief officer, Ensign L. B. Roberts,
declared he discovered a vessel sunk
in 40 feet of water about 35 miles
off the Key and no further investi-
CATION found that she was the Val
banera. The vessel was deeply in
bedded in quicksand and no sign Of
the bodies of any victims could be
seen. A coast guard vessel arrived
shortly afterward and reported find
ing the vessel.
The Valbaaera has not been heard

High Meat Prices

If the House Committee on Inter
state Commerce has its way, it pro-
proses to lend hand in trying to
chop off a few cents per pound, at
any rate, on high meat prices. 1t
plans to insert a clause in the rail
road disposal BILL. to place under the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the privately owned stock and refri-
gerator cars now used by the big
packers, as it has been claimed that
the monopoly of these cars induces
to the high cost of meats. 1t is ad-
mitted that little has been accom-
plished by legislation to reduce meat
prices during REGENTS months, but
evidently Congress still has the mat
ter in mind, and if it cannot beat
about the bush in one way it will get
in time several ways, so as to show
the people that there is something in
the motto that Keeping everlasting
at it brings success"

The Treasury Department has
many knotty problems to solve, but
usually gets away with them, sooner
or later Since the war revenue tax
bill went into effect on May /, the
question has been as to what constitu
ties union suit, whether it is one
piece garment or one of two pieces.
The decision has been rendered that
it is one-piece suit, and when sell
ing for more than SIS tax must be
paid on it. Many merchants have
been evading the tax by holding that
union suit is two garments-upper
and lower.

The book was compiled with the Off

and Maj. Hyatt, his aide, assisted in
preparation of the material, which is
official. A feature is "26 reasons
why the YD will be remembered for

A table shows the identity of the

Spring has reached stage where
members Of the average Island Pond
family are expecting mother to serve
stewed rhubarb every day.
According to some fellows view of
reducing living costs, it would consist
in raising the price of butter and eggs
and reducing the price of parsnips.
1t makes but little difference whet-
err the Germans sign the Peace Treat
ty. They are subdued forever; and,
if they remain in servitude for one
hundred years, they can't repay for
their reckless and unwarranted bar
barism and cruelty.
1t looks as though Bolshevism in
Russia would soon be overthrown.
Russia will, some day, emerge from
her extreme trials, great and
glorious country with resources I'M
limited.
1t is to be regretted that the
soldiers recently returned from the
world war did not join the Civil War
Veterans on Memorial Day. To be
sure, the recent conflict gave rise to
many acts of extreme bravery and so
intensely fought was it that the last
part especially, was filled with acts
of unprecedented courage. We are
all very proud of the boys and be-
ieve that we have the greatest army
in the world; but we, cannot discount
what was done for us in the Civil War
when the friends Of anarchy and re-
bellon were at our very gates. We
were in real immediate and impend-
ing danger then; and the Civil War
Veterans defended their Country
with the greatest courage and loyalty.
