WANTS HIS WHISKY BACK
IzOra Jackson Sues For Return O
"Stuff'' Seized by City Officers.

~Stun SelZeu Dy tHy OmcerS.
The case of Izora Jackson, against
the City of Columbia and others took
up most of the day in circuit court
yesterday. Jackson is suing for the
return of eighteen cases of whisky
and seven barrels of beer which were
taken from his premises last fall and
stored in the City Hall, where they
still are.
The day after the removal he was
arrested on a charge of storing liquor
belonging to John Smith. Pleading
guilty, he was fined $500 and costs.
He paid his fine and asked for his
liquor, which John l.. Whitesides,
chief of police refused to give him.
Jackson bases his suit on the prop
erty right producing evidence to show
that he was the sole owner of the
stuff" seized. He says that he plead
ed guilty to the charge last fall be-
cause it was the easiest way out of
the situation He wanted his liquor
back. he says that he could take it to
Moberly and sell it legally and apply
the proceeds to pay back the money
he borrowed to pay his fine. He says
that he offered to pay the expenses of
a man to Moberly and back to see that
he made legal sale.
On the stand, Chief Whitesides told
how the whisky was shipped to Mob
erly addressed to John Miller, a ne
gro of Columbia. 1t was brought to
Columbia in automobiles. Finding it in
Jackson's shed, Whitesides took pos
session and stored it in the City Hall.

SkIP-STOP ADVERTISING

Argus-Leader-By eliminating a rel
atively small proportion of car stops
the traction companies of the big
cities have been saving a large pro
portion of their power. 1t does not
take much power to stop a car; bu,
much energy is consumed in starting
it. The skip-stop has been invented
to save energy.
The Philadelphia Record points out
that lit is as economical to conserve
momentum in advertising as it is the
operation of street cars"
Momentum is acquired by the con
tinuous application of advertising
power. 1t is lost when advertising is
stopped and resumed. The advertiser
who stops advertising is applying the
brakes to his own progress. He is
dissipating energy that he has paid
for; he is wasting money.
The skip-stop policy should be ap-
piled to publicity. Newspaper adver-
Using will get you going. II you want
to keep going at the minimum of cost.
use it constantly. The cheapest kind
of advertising Is newspaper advertis-
ing and the cheapest kind Of newspa-
per advertising is in the daily and
weekly newspaper Of known circula-
ton.

LET US LIFT TOGETHER

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. before the
apolis last week, Secretary Redfeld
of the department OF commerce and
labor, in his appeal for the united eff
forts of labor and capital, coined a
phrase that will bear REPETITION. Let
us lift together" he said III the con
clusion of a nos effective and mo-
mentous address.
The old notion of antagonism be
tween labor and capital ignores the
best interests of both. When capital
is unreasonable and is getting an IN
due share of the products of industry,
labor bccomts dissatisfied and trouble
follows. When labor becomes unreas-
enable and is asking more in wages
than the business will produce, indus
try legs, jobs grow few and unemploy-
ment grows. When the two cooper
ate to accomplish increased efficiency
TO make the business succeed, and
when the profits of the business are
divided between labor and capital
labor sharing in good wages and capt.
tai in good dividenis-the results be-
come ideal.
The employer who tries TO get the
most for the least is no better citizen
than the employee who seeks to get
the maximum of wage for the mini
mum of service. If we are to retain
and add to the great prosperity which
America is now enjoying, we can best
do so by following the splendid ad-
vice Of Secretary Redfeld.

ten days not less than twenty-five
families were hunting places in which
to live and no doubt some of these
had to go to other towns to find houses
to rent.
We are plannisg big things this
year and Brookings cannot come into
its own unless we ear accommodate
those who wish to move here with
suitable houses in which to live. The
towns and cities which rise to the oc-
casion will get the benefit of this
inflow asd will grow in population.
During the years of 1855 there was
great activity in building and we kept
pace with the demand for houses.
Last year there was scarcely any
building, on account Of government re-
strictions, and we fell behind in pro-
vidisg for a normal increase in our
population, II we wish TO carry out
some of cur public improvement plans
we shall have to provide places for
people to live and the question is,
how is this to be brought about? Peo-
pie who have money TO invest hest
to put their capital into houses
for rem because of the high cost Of
and materials and because OF
other outlets which they think afford
opportunities for making more
on their nvestmests. People
who wish to move in are not always
prepared TO build homes for them
selves unless they can be assured of
steady employment.
If W. wish TO see Brookings grow
Ne must plan to build more residences.
Who is going to do this and what is
he best way of bringing this about?

The afternoon conferences were es-

Think of it-a chance of earning a
peace that is going to last, one that
will benefit us. our children and our
children's children. And how? By
sacrificing a little and loaning the re-
suits of our sacrifices on the best Sc
curity in the world, at a fine rate of
interest. Look the facts squarely in
the eyes. A year ago, it didn't seem
possible that we would have a chance
to buy our last Liberty bonds on April
Fl, 1919. 1t looked as though we
would be then only we'll started in
pouring out our blood and treasure,
Now, the war is over, and we don't
even have TO pay for it. All we have
TO do now is to pay for peace-pay
for it by depriving ourselves of a few
luxuries and investing our savings in
an enterprise that will lay broad and
deep the foundations of a lasting pros
perity. Looking back 10 the dark
days when Germany seemed so far
from beaten and when every day
meant death, danger and destruction,
it is easy to recall the extravagant
phrases which then described the pas
sion for peace. There were many
northwestern fathers who would have
paid fortunes to have ended the war
n day sooner-if that day their
sons were to be sent TO the firing line.
There were many Ninth district moth
ers who would have thought no finan-
cial sacrifice would be too great if
the war could have ended in 1918
as ii did end. Peace then seemed to
be so wonderful a thing-and so price
less.
Now We can have hat priceless
thing by loaning our money to pay
for it. The dollars we lend will go
for the boys who are in France and
in camps, will go for their wages and
their comfort. They are needed 20
pay for the guns, the aeroplanes, the
ships which were obtained over night
and which spelled doom for the boche.
Are you fit to live in peace? If you
are, you will gladly, thankfully pay
your share by subscribing to the
limit for the Victory Liberty Loan.
