Here poem by Mrs. Owens of New
York was read, as follows:
The fields of France and Flanders will
be green
With buds of spring, and myriad birds
will sing
Above the crosses cleaning in the
They sleep so quiet there, our soldier
dead!
Shall we disturb their rest? All, say
not so!
For we may love them there as we'll
as here.
And Heaven will smile on them as
graciously.
They have so gladly given of their
glorious youth,
And now they proudly lie among their
peers.
Disturb them not: their splendid work
is done.
Wrapped in the starry flag they loved
so we'll
They sleep their dreamless sleep.
The red peoples marks each resting
place,
With white of lilies that they died to
save, :.
And Heavens own blue smiles from
behind the stars.
"But what shall we say to the
mothers who once sheltered these
boys on their bosoms? What word
can we speak that will fill the empty
places and ease the pain of their
great loss? What can we say to them
who have sacrificed so much on the
altar of patriotic duty? If you know
who have ever felt the care and love
of mother, you know that it goes on
and on forever until it kisses the un-
seen shores of eternity. To them
words of comfort would be empty and
poor indeed. In the presence of their
great grief we can only bow our heads
in silence and join with the whole
nation as one great soul, offering at
their feet our everlasting gratitude.
We hope and pray that this sacrifice
shall not have been made in vain, and
that from the ruins wrought by this
war will arise a better and brighter
world to live in, and that from the
blood-soaked soil of Europe may not
only spring league Of nations, but
league Of universal brotherhood and
better understanding among all men,
and if founded on the PRINCIPLES of
justice, charity and friendship, It will
heal the wounds Of war, blaze the trail
and clear the way up which all nations
shall come in Gods appointed time"
Frank Clark of Fairbanks received
a letter in the last mail from Dr. Cas-
sells, now major in the army medical
corps. The letter stated that the
former Fairbanks physician is now in
charge of an army hospital in Cannes,
France, and that he was likely to be
stationed in that country for some
time to come.

troops of the German army. Did they
quit the moment the Germans turned
back and tried to find a place to dig
in? No they did not. They went
right on fighting the German rear
xuard. They drove them until the re-
treat turned into desperate rout
And they kept right on chasing them,
first at one point and then at another
until they had cleaned them out of the
valley of the Mouse and the forest OF
the Argonne, and the town of Sedan
Then came the German surrender
the most abject and crushing fall in
all the annals Of warfare.
In plain language, the American
troops operated on the good American
rules of the game: Keep your eye
on the ball. Follow through. Play
the game right and play it to the
finish" OF course, they won. They
couldn't lose, playing the tragic game
Of war that way. e..,.. ...
Now there is a parallel calling for
the same method of play.
The American expeditionary forces
went abroad to fight, to be wounded,
to be killed. if necessary-fully de.
termined to carry out their pledge OF
victory.
What was the direct pledge of the
American people to those men? The
contract was not all on the shoulders
of the troops. The nation had to take
one side of the contract The Ameri-
can people assumed the solemn obli-
cation to back up the fighters with
money, arms, supplies, medicine,
moral and social maintenance.
The Army in France took contract
to fight
The army at home took a contract
to pay the bills.
The fighting Americans have made
good on their contract
Now it is up to the people at home
to pay the bills.
That is why the treasury is selling
anticipation certificates covering next
years federal taxes and discounting
the subscriptions to the coming fifth
loan. All the money raised on the
previous four Liberty Loans has been
spent and the bills have not been
paid.
Nearly all the American soldiers
are over seas and it will cost many
hundred millions to bring them back.
Meantime, they must be fed and kept
up to the scratch in appearance,
health, morals, spirits and every
other way.
There is only one way to do it. This
paying business takes griA
Every American must go right on
saving as hard as before the armis-
tice.
Save every nickel, every dime,
quarter and dollar that can be spared
from living expenses. Put savings
into the banks, or buy Thrift and War
Savings Stamps.
Then when the time comes to sub
scribe for the Liberty Loan everybody
will be ready to carry out the con-
trncts we have on hand.
The soldiers won the peace by fight
ing.
We have the job of paying for the
peace.
Save and prepare for the Fifth
Loan.

IRREGULAR WHEAT
PRICES ALLEGED
Senators Hear Complaints
AGAINST Grain Office and
Meat Retailers.

Members of the Senate agriculture
committee opened up some complaint
against the United States Grain Ad-
ministration and meat retailers before
resuming consideration today OF
legislation proposed for regulating
the packing industry.
This committee has heard enough
to make it certain that live stock
prices have fallen sharply recently,
ssippi, said. and 1t also has been
informed that wholesale meat prices
have dropped in proportion. But there
is always a conflict in the statements
as to what the retailer has done, ana
whether the consumer has gotten any
benefit from the drop.
Suggests Investigation:
II suggest. accordingly, that we get
an authorization to spend some money
ascertaining these facts, and SEND
somebody out to go over books OF a
few retail establishments and find out.
Chairman Gronna said he was in &C
cord with the view. but the topic was
dropped when Senator Capper, repub-
lican, of Kansas, read into the record
a series of letters from his state show
ing that wheat growers, owing to
standards of grain fixed by the gram
administration. were getting from $1.62
to 1902 a bushel for their crop.
Says Wheat Prices Fluctuate.
1.-THE facts are that wheat is being
sold for all kinds of prices" Senator
Capper said, and f1uctuating every

business, because of the uncertainty
due to price agitation and regulation
proposals.

OCCULT POWER BASIS
OF SUIT FOR Big SUM
Indiana Woman Makes Million
aire Oil Operator Defendant
In Novel Suit.

Bruce Bement, millionaire oil opera
tor of Terre Haute, who owns and OPP
crates big oil holdings In Pike county,
both east and west of Petersburg, Ind,
was made defendant in novel suit
filed in the Pike circuit court by Mrs.
Minnie Hershman, of Petersburg, Ind.
She claims she is endowed with hyp-
motto powers and asks judgment
against Bement In the sum of $1,000,
a sixteenth part Of what he received
for a half interest In some oil proper
ty which he sold to the Central Refin-
ing company several months ago. She
also asks for a sixteenth interest In all
of Dement'S remaining oil property in
Pike county.
In the complaint Mrs. Hershman says
she has hypnotic influence over Hor-
ace l. Wiley, of Mt. Carmel, ILL.,, and
that she can put Wiley In a trance and
while under her influence he divulges
things beyond the human eye. The
complaint further AYERS that on July
Is, 1917, Bement, who was then oper-
ating for oil in Pike county, came to
her for information and after she hyp-
Noticed Wiley she told Bement that oil
would be found on the Dough Barker.
Pearl Barker Burkhart, Willis Chew
and Rumble leases. 1t is asserted Be
ment prospected these leases, finding
much oil and the Central Refining COM
pany paid him 100000 for the proper
ty that included the leases named by
Wiley while in trance.
Mrs. Hershman also asks for six
teenth interest in the gas property own
ed by Bement which includes both the
plants in this city and Winslow. Wiley
is a party to the suit. Bement came
here number Of years ago from Terre
Haute and opened offices. He has had
remarkable success in the new Pike
county oil fields, but is now engaged
In developing Texas oil lands.
