Molly MauuireS.

The Molly Maguires originated in
Ireland in 1S43 during the rent trou-
bles there The name was, derived
from Cornelius Mcguire, baron Of In
niskillen. Molly was added because
most Of their raids were made While
dressed in women's clothes. The
Pennsylvania society was organized
in 1856, and was composed for the
most part Of Irishmen. For ten years
prior to 1877 it terrorized the inhabi-
tants of the coal mining SECTIONS Of
Pennsylvania. Murders were COM
mitted and vast quantities Of coal and
other property were destroyed. In
1875 their depredations extended
throughout the section and the MI
litia had to be called out to suppress
the disorders. After the militia had
been withdrawn a number Of brutal
murders were committed, which re-
suited in an outburst Of public wrath
which forced arrests and the conVic-
ton and execution Of ten members OF
the society. This put an end to the
terrorism. Eagle.

FARMERS TURN SALES
4 INTO SAVING STAMPS
Odd Crops of Great Aid to Thrifty
Tillers of Soil In This District.

Farmers who are making a habit
of getting few Thrift Stamps every
time they market anything from
their farms are finding that they are
able to save regulaly and that they
do not miss the small amounts In
vested. The average farmer in this
section Of the country depends large
ly on his money" crop, which he har
vests once year. Almost every one
of them, however, grows something
else which he markets at odd times.
An occasional load Of hay may be
taken into town and sold. The thrifty
farmers also plant peas, beans, okra'
lettuce, beets or some OF the othel
vegetables which thrive in the South
and for which there is ready market
Butter and eggs form staple articles
to be marketed between seasons.
By buying just few Thrift
Stamps each time the farm wagon
makes a haul to town, the farmer OF
his wife is providing fund which they
will be able to turn to good account
later on, for when these Thrift
Stamps are exchanged for War Saw
ings Stamp, they increase In value
automatically, and may always he
turned into cash on ten days written
notice to the postmaster, although the
longer they are kept the more they
earn.

TREATY JUST,
SAYS WILSON
President Issues Statement to
His Fellow Countrymen Asking :
Support for Document.
APPEALS AGAINST CHANGES.
Old lntolerable Order Ended ANA
United Step Taken for Permanent
Peace-Severe Because OF
Wrongs Done by German.

Wilson In
an address to the American people on
the occasion of the signing OF the
peace treaty made a plea for the ac-
ceptance Of the treaty and the cove
nant Of the League of Nations, without
change or reservation.
"My fellow countrymen: The treaty
of peace has been signed. II 1t IS
ratified and acted upon in full and
sincere execution of it's terms, it Will
furnish the charter for new order
of affairs in the world. 1t is a severe
treaty in the duties and penalties it
imposes upon Germany, but it Is severe
only because great wrongs done by
Germany are to be righted and repair
ed: it imposes nothing that Germany
cannot do, and she can regain her
rightful standing in the world by
prompt and honorable fufllment of its
terms.
And it is much more than treaty
of peace with Germany. 1t llDerateS
great peoples who have never before
been able to find a way to liberty. Ii
ends, once for all, an old and intoler-
able order under which small groups
of selfish men could use the peoples
of great empires to serve their am
e bition for power and dominion. 1t as
sociates the free governments OF the
world in a permanent league in when
they are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by maintain
ing right and justice. 1t makes inter-
national law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions. 1t does away
with the right of conquest and rejects
the policy Of annexation and subSh-
~tutes anew order under which back
ward nations-populations which have
not yet come to political consciousness
and peoples who are ready for indie
pendence but not yet quite prepared
to dispense with protection and guild
ance-shall no more be subjected to
the domination and exploitation Of a
stronger nation, but shall be put under
the friendly direction and afforded the
helpful assistance of governments
which undertake to be responsible for
their task by accepting the direction
of the League of Nations. 1t recog-
nizes the inalienable rights of nationa-
atty, the rights Of minorities and the
sanctity Of religious belief and prac-
tice. 1t lays the basis for conventions
which shall free the commercial inter-
course of the world from unjust and
vexatious restrictions, and for every
sort of international cooperation that
will serve to cleanse the life of the
world and facilitate It's common action
in beneficent service of every kind. 1t
furnishes guarantees such as were
never given or even contemplated for
the fair treatment Of all who labor at
the daily tasks Of the world.
at is for this reason that l have
spoken Of it as a great charter for a
new order of affairs. There is ground
here for deep satisfaction. universal
reinsurance and confident hope.

WORLD WOULD Bt: CLEANER
Excellent Thing If the Profession OF
the "Spy" Can Be Altogether
Eliminated.

We pray God that the next big
thing the world will do will be to
eliminate forever from the face of the
earth that unspeakable creature
known as the "spy."
In war 1t has sometimes become
necessary fora good man to be a spy,
but it was the direst necessity and
nothing else that could induce him.
Nathan Hale was spy, but he was
such only to save the liberty of his
country. His last words when he
died were that he regretted that he
had only one life to give in that holy
cause.
But, there are spies who are such by
profession as we'll as by nature. And
that kind Of man is a creature so low
in the scale of humanity that q pole
cat is respectable compared to him.
The spy is a person who will break
bread with you, eat your salt, accept
the kindly and hospitable shelter OF
your roof, worm himself into your af-
fections, and then betray you. He
will bite the hand that feeds him as
dog would do. He/will send to death
those who have taken him TO the
household Of their hearts.
A sublime effort is being made In
the worlds affairs now to Let the light
in on all the dark corners. The win
dows are to be flung open and the sun
light let In at the door. And, when
this is done, the spy will disappear.
He cannot endure in the light Of day.
His world Is the world of the shadows.
He must have the cover Of darkness
or he cannot work.
OF all crawling vermin that infest
the earth the spy is the most detesta-
BILE. He Is the most poisonous of rep
tiles. The rattlesnake and sidewinder
are scholars and gentlemen compared
to him.
Civilization will have taken almost
Its longest stride forward when the spy
Is removed from the scene Of earth
which he testers by his corruptins
presence.-Exchange.

UNIFORMS AMONG PAST EVILS
Mannish Dressing Does Not Admit OF

Pretty Clothes Bring Out
True Disposition. y

Clothes reflect current events ana
the spirit of the times in which we
live to a greater extent than appears
to the casual observer. Fashions are
now as topsy-turvy as the rest of the
world, observes a prominent fashion
correspondent. Many things are
shown, but few are chosen, so the
best thing we can do is to select the
clothes that best express beauty and
harmony and that above all are lovely
and feminine.
Let uniforms and manniSh dressing
for women be among past evils. 1t
nay be that uniforms are inspiring to
feminine wearers-some people think
;o--but why be inspired to be an efii-
lent machine? Who wouldn't prefer
he inspiration that comes from frills
md furbelows? If woman is beau
fully and becomingly dressed she has
hat soul gratifying assurance that
,;mes with the knowledge that she is
cooking her best, and she is possessed
# something akin to the faith that
.erioves mountains. There Is no
Iol!bt about it-pretty clothes make
