Need a Public Hall.

What Yorkville needs now worse
than anything else lis a public hall or
auditorium" said a" wide awake citi-
zen yesterday. "The last imitation Of a
public hall went by the boards couple
Of months ago when the auditorium Of
the Yorkville Graded school was cut
up for the purpose of relieving the
crowded condition Of the class rooms.
The courthouse is the only place avail
able now and really the town has no
right to use that because it was built
for strictly county purposes and al
though the clerk Of court who has the
building in charge is good and kind
enough to lend the building to local
meetings of almost every nature, still
it causes him more or less embarrass-
ment to do so. l don't know another
town the size of Yorkville in the state
that has not a public auditorium Of
some kind in addition to its court
house"

Posting Of Land.

parts appears to be so keen in posting
their lands against hunters this year,?
inquired Views and Interviews Of Il
we'll known York county hunter a day
or two ago. The reply was, "Tll tell
you, there are so many worthless neg
rocS and white men these days when
money is flush that they start to hunt
ing the day the season opens and
they do not quit until the day it is
over. And they Kill every thing in

Just keep it clean. Now | like to hunt
on my premises myself occasionally
and | like to have my friends out to
hunt with me once in while. If
don't keep these pirates off my land
it won't be long before there is moth
ing to hunt. And that's why. But by
the way. any time YOU or any Of youl
friends want to hunt on my premises
why just help yourself" And the In
tcrviewer thanked him kindly but re-
marked that the only way he liked tc
hunt partridgcs was in the bottom OF
a big dish of them-hunt a choice
morsel in the bottom of the dish.

Stories Concerning Folks and Things
Some of Which You Know and
Some You Don't Know-condensed
for Quick Reading.

"Thc sugar shortage Is still on over
here in force" said o. NJ. Spurlin, rail-
way agent at Sharon few days ago.
Recently several hundred pounds were
received by Sharon firm; but it last
ed only a short while. In fact, 1t went
almost as fast as the clerks could
wrap it up"
Some Politician.
81 don't know whether or not that
is his game entirely" said q well
known YQrkville politician who heard
him speak Friday night; "but that
fellow Marvin Ritch Is some politician
and he surely knows how to hoop 'em
up. Reminded me of Former Coy
ernor Blease in his palmiest days, and
am sure that if Ritch had continued
much longer the other evening he
would have been greeted with quite a
few whoops and yells. And by the way,
he Is the only exhorter or speaker OF
his kind that I have heard who had
the nerve to come into York county
and bawl out the farmers"
Take the Front Seat.
"Airplanes are coming around this
way pretty soon in numbers and many
folks will be wanting to take a ride, !"
said a Yorkville man yesterday who
has taken many a spin. THE riding
is pretty safe now, although there Is
still some danger attached. There are
a couple of seats in most Of them that
will be used for carrying passengers
in this section for some time to come
arranged somewhat like the seats
in a touring car. And I can't explain
to you just why 1t is; but in case the
plane, should fall the passenger in the
front seat is in not nearly so much
danger as is the passenger in the
back seat. Better grab the front berth
when you ride"

CHARLOTTE STRIKE
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Basis of Argument Does Not Include
Recognition of National Car
mems Union.

Charlotte, n. c., Sept. 4.-Settle-
ment of the strike of conductors and
motormen on the street car system
of this city, which began August
10, was announced tonight by Presi-
dent Taylor of the Southern Public
Utilities company. The agreement
reached was practically identical with
that which formed the basis of the
settlement in Greenville, S. c..
The striking carmen will resume
operation Of the cars tomorrow at
ternoon, according to the announce
ment, and normal schedule will be
resumed, with the exception that the
line to North Charlotte will not be
operated for the present. Appllca-
ton to the State corporation commis-
sion for permission to abandon the
North Charlotte line is pending.
In the agreement concessions were
made by both sides, but there is no
recognition of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. Refusal on the part
of the company to recognize this or
eanization has been the main issue
between the company and the strik-
ers for two weeks.

':It is the practical things that are
now confronting us in this period OF
reconstruction and complexities. 1t
is a period that will require patriot
ism and thought and greater courage
than has ever yet been manifested.
This nation has had to expend the
ihconceivable sum of twenty-three
billions of dollars to assert itself
against European tyranny. That
amount has been practically shot
away, and the problem now is to re-
place it. The only way we can re-
place it is to do more work and more
saving than ever before if we would
restore our prosperity.

GLASS PROPOSES
PATCHED PANTS
Secretary Says He Will Wear Suit
Five Years if Necessary.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 27.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Carter Glass
today addressed the members of the
Virginia general assembly.
A combination of five-year-old
palm beach suit and shirt of equal
age are the two new cudgles which
Secretary Glass intends to use on the
hard-headed profiteer and to WELD
against Germany in her efforts to
crawl successfully back to a domin-
ant place in the commercial world.
Il am simply putting into prac-
tice," he said, "the suggestion of my
distinguished predecessor; Mr.. Nc
Adoo, who declared in one of the lib
erty lean campaigns that we should
use every effort to win the war, even
though we wore patched trousers.
Mine are not patched, but they are
old enough to be. l expect to wear
this suit five years longer if they
will stand it."
"The reconstruction period through
which we are going now," he de-
clared, sis perhaps, even more criti-
cal in it's relation to the future of
our country than the actual war pc
riod itself. If we are to use an ef-
fective weapon against the profiteer
we must acquire the habit of strict
economy and saving. If we are to
discharge wiJhing the shortest time
our obligations contracted in the war
we must pursue the same course.
And if we are to keep the Hun from
getting ahead OF Us IN the markets
Of the world it is absolutely neces-
sary that We adopt this policy.

SPECTATORS HIT
HARD BY SLUMP
Drop in Livestock Indicates Break
in the High Costs.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-A drop/of 81 a
hundred pounds on the average for
hogs, with lower prices for beef cat
tie at the stock yards today, was
ascribed to several reasons, including
the general protest against the high
cost of living.
Market men said the tendency was
for still lower prices, particularly
after the fall marketing and they pro-
fessed to see break in the high liv-
ing costs.
The public has curtailed its buying
of pork and beef recently while live
stock receipts are large. The eastern
market failed to act as an emergency
outlet and the packers virtually with
drew their buyers from the pens to-
day, leaving thousands of hogs and
cattle without buyers. Spectators
were hit hard.
Live stock men say export business
has been suppressed by the foreign
exchange situation and that this, cou-
pied with receipt of hogs that accum-
ulated on farms during the railroad
shipments strike and the prospect of
a strong run of hogs, helped to cause
the weak market.
While the average drop for hogs
was at 81, the difference between
today's lowest point and yesterdays
highest point was fully $3.50, live
stock authorities said, while the av-
erage drop for beef cattle today
ranged from SO to rs cents hum
dred pounds. Sheep also sold lower.

CHEAPER GASOLINE
PROMISED TO SOUTH
Senator Harris Says His Two Amend
ments Will Have Tis Effect.

The State.
Washington, Sept. 4.-''This will
mean the dissolution of the Standard
Oil Company and cheaper gasoline
for the South though of course l ex-
pected the big oil interest to fight
me bitterly"
In this way Senator W. j. Harris
of Georgia today spoke of two
amendments relative to the opera
tions of the Standard Oil people
which he has just gotten through the
;. senate.
Regarding this Senator Harris said,
ga few years ago when was'a men,
ber of the federal Grade commission,
complaints were made all over the
country about determinations in the
price of gasoline. In the Indiana ter
ritory which is controlled by the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
they were selling gasoline at five
cents gallon less than in other
States nearby. The reason for this
was that there were independents in
that territory who were competing
with them and the Standard wanted
to destroy them.
ssThere are about dozen Standard
Oil Companies and it was found that
there was no law to prevent this dis
crimination. The Standard of Indi-
ana or any of the other Standard
companies could lower the price IN
their territory and ali the other
Standard companies of the country
would raise the price so as to make
I'D the loss. The federal trade COM
mission could do nothing to protect
the people because, 70 per cent. OF
the stock of all the dozen Standard
companies is owned by the same peo-
pie. There is no competition among
the dozen Standard Oil Companies.
They all work as one. That is what
the investigation disclosed. There is
So per cent of the stock of all the
Standard companies owned by 16
people. The purpose of the proposed
amendment is to prevent stock hold
ers who own these different COM
panies from selling their stock to the
other stockholders of the Standard
companies and to make the IL COM
panies Independent as the present
stockholders dispose of their stock. "
Regarding the latter amendment
Senator Harris made the following
statement:
sThis amendment is to prevent the
Standard Oil Company from getting
around the provisions of the Clayton
act. The Clayton act in the way it is
drawn really protects the monopoly,
the Standard Oil Comany, the way
the subsidiary companies are divided.
This will require all the companies to
sell at the same price, so that if there
is an Independent in one territory the
Standard can not lower the price and
put him out of business and thereby
eliminate competition. 1t is to re-
ouire all the Standard companies to
have the same price all over the
country"

REPORTS ON TREATY
DIRECT TO COUNTRY
People Only Ones to Whom Wilson
Saws He Owes Accounting
Makes First Speech.

| SOA0AlOOS, OAASS NNDS'
first speech of his trans-continental
tour, President Wilsan here today
urged the American people to exert
their influences for acceptance by
the United States senate of the peace
treaty signed with Germany, and pre-
dicted that the senate would ratify
fthe treaty.
"When this treaty is accepted he
said, ''the men in khaki will never
have to cross the seas again, and 1
say when it is accepted, because it
will be accepted"
Speaking to a capacity audience
which filled every nook in Memorial
Hall the president said it was not his
purpose during the trip ito debate
the treaty" but to expound it to the
people. He declared that there was
concert of feeling among the allied
representatives at Versailles. Re-
ferring to the American delegation
he said:
"We were under instructions and
we did not dare come home without
fulfilling those instructions. If l
could not have brought back the kind
of a treaty I did bring back, l never
would have. come back"
Appeals to People.
| President Wilson appealed to his
hearers if they would not read the
treaty themselves to at least accept
the account of it's contents as given
by those who made it. He declared
the only persons he owed report to
"are you and other citizens of the
United States" He said such a re-
port was necessary because he had
read many speeches about the treaty
and was unable to gather from them
much of what the treaty contained.
President Wilson said the treaty
undertook to punish Germany, bit
that there was no thought to over
whelmingly crush any great people.
The reparation demanded of Ger
many, he said, was no greater than
Germany could pay.
/ The president said he was "aston-
ished" by many of the statements
made about the treaty, and said he
was convinced they had been made
by men who had not read it, or who
had failed to comprehend it's mean
ing.
The league of nations, he declared,
was formed in fulfilment of the pro-
mise that the United State was
fighting this war to "end the busi-
ness of that sort" forever. Not to
establish the league, he said, would
have been unfaithful to those who
had died.
! Besides the president said, the
treaty clears away" the chains of op-
preston and gives small nationalities
the light to live their own lives,
sThat,' he said, twas the American
position and l was glad to fight for
it."
The president praised the treaty
provision, providing for an interna-
tional labor organization, which will
hold it's first meeting in Washington
next month. He declared the meet.
ing would be held whether the treaty
had been ratified by the senate by
that time or not.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. w. o. Thompson, president OF
the Ohio State University, and the
president was introduced by forme,
governor James E. Campbell, as "the
first citizen of the big round world.
