 As he spoke, the man moved into the room and crossing to the desk, picked up the telephone.
 T wouldn't do that if I were you, Ballin said, his voice very even as he stepped close to the other. Put that telephone down.

 Faint, but unchanged in it's regularity. the snoring of young Morrison came to them down the length of the hall. The noise of the falling drawer had failed to awaken him.
 Ballin turned and as he met Frances eles. a smile of relief stole over his face

 she's not going to marry that Thomas boy, goosie," laughed Imogene. She is just fooling with him to see what sort of stuff Billy is made of.

when a quantity of liquor was found in the room they were occupying at the hotel. Mir Austin stated that at the time of the arrests of the two men, number of empty bottles were found in the room. MT. Pitts stated to the special agents at the time of his arrest that he was a deputy federal revenue agent and showed his badge to the special officers, but MT. Austin placed him under arrest.
 MT. Pitts later was released under a $500 bond. MT. Hargrove. who was Hound occupying the room where the liquor was seized by the agents of MT. Austin, was also placed under arrest. Two benboys at the Hillman, Askew and Hubbard, were also arrested.
 When seen yesterday MT. Pitts stat ed: "The liquor found in my room was liquor confiscated in raids on illicit stills and was to be used as evidence when the cases came up for trial or course it is customary to present the evidence at trials, and as I often came in from raids late at night, was forced to put it in my room, as there was no other place to put it. I was in Knox vile for several days this week and only returned yesterday morning.
 q asked MT. Hargrove. who is per sonal friend of mine, to sleep in my room during my absence to keep any one from getting into this liquor. Some of the liquor which I was holding for evidence may have been stolen, and it is possible that a bellboys may have stolen some of it and been caught with it, but I know nothing about it.'
 WAS PROTECTING LIQUOR
 MT. Hargrove, who has often been on raids with MT. Pitts and other dep uty internal revenue collectors, said: q am absolutely innocent of the charge and was only staying in Mir. Pitts room while he was out of the city. Before leaving a few days ago he asked me to occupy his room while he was away as a matter of protection to the liquor stored there.
 He also has two and a half bar rels of molasses which was confiscated stored in the storeroom of the Hnlman hotel, but of course the liquor could not be kept there"
 John D. McNeel, collector of internal revenue, said: MT. Pitts came to Bir- mingham from Texas several months ago and is a good officer and a hard worker. He works under the district agent with headquarters in Nashville. do not think there is anything to the charges made and feel that the mat ter will be cleared up satisfactorily"
 It is stated that according to gov ernment regulations revenue officer has a right to store the confiscated liquor in any place he deems safe.

 Col Tom O. Smith and F. NJ. Jack son were not inclined to favor an elec- ton at the present time. although they are ardent good roads advocates. They said they did not think the time pro- pituous for the proposition.
 OPPOSES PRESENT SYSTEM
 Robert Jemison. Jr.. referring to statements that county money had been wasted on roads. said it would continue as long as the present system of building chert roads is continued, and argued that 1t would be economy to build permanent roads.
 Dan Dimick member of the Cham Der of Commerce committee, illus trated the road proposition by com pairing it to paper soles in shoes. 'sWhen you find that the paper soles are wearing out quickly and costing you a great deal of money. you have leather soles put on.' he said and added that the same thing applies to roads Chert roads will not hold up under the heavy traffic of the present day. he said. and it is a waste of money to put it in them.

Aberdeen News: Miss May Keith
line, who for the past several
months has been district leader of
girls clubs in Brown and Day
counties, has been transferred to
Grant county. in a field of similar
endeavor, and will. after April l.
have her headquarters at Milbank,
through the extension department
of State college.
Miss Kiethline will promote
county club work in Day county, n
connection with the county agents
department, ard Grant county may
be assured she is a woman entirely
capable Of filling the post to which
she has been assigned in that
county.
Miss Kiethlne's work in Brown
and Day counties has been of a very
high order which fact is revealed by
the further fact that she has effect
ed a complete organization Of
young people in those counties and
that interest in club work among
the young people with whom she
has associated has not for one mo.
ment Jagged. but has increased
with each succeeding month of &C.
tivity.
Progress in all club work has
been marked under Miss Kiethline's

for the material and moral good Of
South Dakota.

from Brown county will be received
with regret by her many friends.

late Grant county upon its good
fortune in securing her services.
Miss Kiethline has been in Brown
and Day county work for one year,
having come to the state from

months of her sojourn here have en-
comprised q period of much work
for her and much benefit to thost
who have been amo ng those whom
she has instructed.

The Way 10! Look At II.
We have won the war.
We have yet to win peace

We have won the war.
We have yet to win peace.
We never get anything worth
while unless we earn it and pay for
it.
We now have the chance of earn
ing peace by paying for it.
Think of ia chance of earning
peace that is going to last. one that
will benefit us, our children and
our chldren's children.
And how? By sacrificing a little
and leaning the results of our sac
rifces on the best security in the
world, at 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 81, 1919. It 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-pa ia for it by depriving
ourselves of a few luxuries and i'm
vesting u savings in an enter
prise that will lay broad and deep
the foundations of a lasting pros
perity.
Looking back to 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 phras-
es which then described the passion
for peace.
There were many Northwestern
fathers who would have paid
fortunes to have ended the war one
day sooner-if that day their sons
were to be sent to the firing front.
There were many Ninth District
mothers who would have thought no
financial sacrifice would be too
great if the war could have ended
in l9l8-as 1t did end. Peace then
seemed to be so wonderful a thing
and so priceless.
Now we can have that priceless
thing by loaning u 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 to pay for the
guns, 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.

A FESTIVE OCCASION

The home of Mrs. J. w. Alderman
was the scene of a delightful celebra-
ton last night, when large number
of relatives and friends gathered to
Go honor to Mrs. Alderman on the oc-
casion of her birthday anniversary.
Those who had the matter in charge
took advantage of her absence from
home yesterday to dress the parlors
and the evening found her home gar
nished with ferns, flowers and ported
plants. A beautiful birthday cake,
surrounded by cut flowers, and deli
cate ferns and decorated with the pro-
verbal candles, formed the center
piece on the dining table.
The guests began to arrive at sun
down, and continued to come during
the evening, until the parlors and the
porches were filled to overlooking.
Games in which old and young took
part, songs and conversation, made
the hours pass quickly and delightful
ly. Frequent courses of fruit punch
were served, and toward the close of
the evening, the guests did ample JUS
tice to delicious refreshments of ice
cream and cake. Among other Incl
dents an ovation was made to the
faithful family cook, Susie, whose un-
firing labors during the day had so
large a part in making the surprise
party complete success.
Then Mrs. Alderman cut her birth
day cake amid the good wishes of
friends for long life, prosperity and
happiness, after which she opened
with evident pleasure and appreciation
the gifts that loving friends had plac-
ed upon the parlor table. Before the
gathering broke up, prayer was offer
ed by Mrs. Alderman's pastor, invok-
ing the blessing of God upon her and
hers.
