Liquor Seller

A judicial opinion of bootleggers
that could NEST safely be written on
asbestos for preservation in the Of
ficial records was given by Judge
Luce in Superior court yesterday,
sitting for Judge Franklin Cole.
The object of the jurist's scorn
was Oliver Quick, convicted of Civ
ing and selling whisky on the third
trial of the charges. The first two
trials were indecisive, resulting in
hung juries. Y -- . ---..---,
The court sentenced Quick to serve
a ninety-day iail sentence and to pay
fine of 500, on the first charge,
that of selling.
To give liquor away cost him a
flat fine of $100.
Judgment is held up temporarily
as Attorney c. B. Conlin, for the
defense, has filed a notice of a new
trial preparatory to an appeal of the
case.

Although but one plane out of the
original five starting on the trip,
reached the Valley, through unfortu-
nate accidents while flying over the
desert regions of Arizona, the peo-
pie of Ell Centre this afternoon were
given real aerial treat. Piloted by
Lieutenant Jean Cobbey, r. M. A,
with Sergeant Hornbrook as observer,
the lone army airship arrived here
shortly before noon for the announced
aerial circus.
Later in the day another airship
arrived, the newcomer joining Lieu
tenant Cobbey in putting on spectac-
ular stunts.
Tie other planes are scattered
along the route between Tcuson and
Yuma, havinp met with slight mis-
haps, although successfully avoiding
injuries to the members of his squad.
The first machine to break away
from the squadron was that driven
by First Litenant G. M. aBtes, ac
companed by Sergeant Bernhardt.
They grounded near Tucson, lending
about two miles from the city.
Fate then overlook Lieutenant S.
H. Shark, pilot, and Sergeant Tan
ner, who accompanied him. They fell
near Sasco, Ariz., three miles from
Yuma. In making the landing they
slightly damaged the plane.
The third in the cycle of bad luck
was the plane driven by Lieutenant
II. B. Moore. with Sergeant Kehoe
as mechanician. Their aerial bus
developed engine trouble and dropped
to the earth near Yuma.
The fourth out of the procession
was Lieutenant J. B. Patrick, who
in descending near Yuma failed to
top some heavy mesquite bushes. AS
a result two front wings were torn
off the machine.

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.

After many years there is
finally a light in the window fol
the backward nations of the
earth. A beacon to lead them out
Of the darkness Of despotism.
A CLEAN Of hope that better
things are near at hand.
Uncle Sam put it there.
Before the war these lesser ma.
tons were all dominated by thei,
elder brothers. They were told
to keep away back and sit still
That children should be seen and
not heard. They ate at the Sec
ond table and took no part in the
family councils. They weren
supposed to have ideas.
The elder brothers hand was
always upon their shoulder.
But change is coming. One
of the big principles for which
the world war was fought was the
right of voice for the weaker ma
tons. Uncle Sam termed it de-
mocracy for the world. And
when he entered the fight he made
his position extremely clear upon
this point.
It will preserved in the peace
pact. 1t will dominate the plan
Of the league of nations however
that plan may finally be worked
out. The increasing family Of lit
tie brothers will have more to eat,
better clothes, better training.
Eventually these smaller ma
tions will provide an important
market for the manufactured
products of America. And rec
ognizing all that America has done
for them they will be strongly dis
posed to favor us. We must not
overlook that.
American industry must ne
kept expanding. Must be en-
couraged to reach out for new
fields of conquest. Must be slim
ulated to perservering effort.
Must not be forced to slow down
at this time through inability OF
Uncle Sam to pay his debts.
Uncle Sam s intentions are the
best. He wants to make good
every pledge to the industries.
Wants them to make hay while
the sun shines. To market their
products to the uttermost parts OF
the earth. To keep prosperity at
home.
But Uncle Sam, who represents
every one Of us, must have our
cooperation.
He must have our financial sup
port, must borrow our money
again.
And that s the reason for this
Victory Loan.
The answer is; Lend to the ut
most.
