Christmas Advertising-Alail Order
CatalOgs etc.


as the Christmas season approaches
now about l month off, the mail
order people are getting busy, in
fact, have been for sometime. The
mails are crowded with catalogs from
the big cities. The country people are
being worked for all it is worth.
The town and home merchants, if
they are wise will sit up and take
notice.
None too soon to begin. If the
home merchant has what the people
want and the price strikes right
money will be kept at home instead
of going into foreign cash drawers.
The home merchant may have TIL,
very goods the customer needs and
wants, but the customer doesn't know
it, and in many instances will not
take the time and trouble to go o..
doubtful hunt when he has descrip-
tion and prices right before him in n
catalog. A hint to the wise etc.

was elected year ago from the Mil
waukce Congressional district. Some
thing like 400 Reds have been ordered

strong ground with the agitators and

Community Service
Provides Socially
for Returning Men

The executive committee of the
War Camp Community Service met
Monday to investigate social facili-
ties in the city for entertaining the
den1obolized soldiers and sailors.
Cooperation Of home talent and
transient artists promise in the near
future to afford clever attractions
at the Army and Navy club.
A keener interest shown by citi-
Gems in the success of the Army and
Navy club would be greatly appre-
ciated by business men who sponsor
the club house for boys still in the
service and the denobilized soldiers
as well.
Attractive new posters have been
put up over the city for the direc-
ton Of soldiers, sailors and marines.
These posters tell what is going on
each week in the city, especially for
men in uniform; where to find the
headquarters of the Y. M. c. A., Y,
w. c. A., Red Cross, Jewish Wei
fare board, X. c. club and War
Camp Community service, Girls
Community house and the Army
and Navy club is included in the
poster.
Events that are of interest to sol
diers will be printed if given to
Charles Levings, Army and Navy

Foreign Embassies the Only
Gases in Dry Washington

Washington, Feb. 25.-Except for
the foreign embassies and legations,
Washington went bone dry" today
under a provision of the new rev
enue law withdrawing the immunity
which the capital heretofore has
enjoyed from the Reed amendment
forbidding the importation of in
toxicants into prohibition territory.
Hundreds of shipments of liquor
on their way from Baltimore were
held Up outside the district lines,
having failed to get within the zone
before the bars went up. Foreign
embassies and legations are extra
territorial properties and are not at
fected by the bone dry provision,
according to the internal revenue
bureau, although no formal ruling
has been given on this point.
When war time prohibition be-
comes effective July |, all American
territory will be dry except the
Philippines, which will not be af-
fected until the constitutional pro-
hibition amendment goes into effect
January 10, 1920. All other insular
possessions or territories of the
United States already are dry under
legislative act or executive order.

Capital Makes Grand
Rush on Rum Stocks
AS Ard Spell Looms

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-
Residents of Washington made
the most of the few remaining
hours in which to prepare for the
long dry spell which will follow
the signing by President Wilson
today OF the revenue bill, one OF
the provisions of which will make
the capital dry town.
Washington, in anticipation OF
the worst, has been buying up
the available liquor supply OF
Baltimore, its last minute shop
ping in the wet goods district of
its sister city having reduced
Baltimore to nearly as arid state
as that in store for the capital.
Twenty thousand round trip
tickets to Baltimore were pur-
chased yesterday, resulting in a
congestion greater than any in
the history Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad and the necessity
of putting three specials of Il
cars each on the Washington run
last night. Automobile traffic be-
tween the two cities also ex-
ceeded all previous records.

Several names are under consider
alton for the cabinet vacancy,
caused by the resignation 81
Thomas w, Gregory, who retires
from the Department of Justice
March 4, but the president has not
made a selection.
Whether the president will ad-
dress congress is believed to de-
pend on the legislative situation.
Tomorrow night he will discuss the
league of nations in detail with
members of the senate and house
foreign affairs committee, who will
be his guests at dinner. and the be-
lief is growing in official quarters
that the president will consider his
explanations to them sufficient for
the time being.
With many imperative bills still
awaiting action, it is said to be pos
sible that President Wilson may
consider it inadvisable to take up
any of the brief time remaining of
this session by discussing before
congress a subject on which his
views are we'll known and which
will come up for approval or dis
approval before a new body.
There was a full attendance at
the cabinet meeting. Vice Presi-
dent Marshall was present, having
been invited to attend as a special
mark Of courtesy for his presiding
oyer the meetings during President
Wilson's absence. Assistant Se.-
rotary Polk took Secretary Lans-
