Holiday at Shore
TO FILL WINsToN's POST

Appointment of a director and as
sistant director Of the Department of
Public Works and plans for next years
battle for county offices will be among
other things considefed at a conference

In addition to considering candidates
for director and assistant director of
the Public Works Department, the con =
ferees will also discuss other minor
changes to be made there. While The
Mayor favors Fred Dunlap, chief Of the
Bureau of Highways, for the director :
ship. it is said that the appointment OF
A. Lincoln Acker, city purchasing
agent. to this post would also be agree
able to him.
Mr.. Cunningham, It is said, will in
sist the Republican Alliance be recog
nized in these appointments. In view
of the fact that Mr.. Acker is very &C
ceptable to both the Mayor and Mr..
Cunningham, it is probable that he will
be strongly urged to take the position
Mr.. Acker was director of the de
partment in the administration OF
Mayor Weaver and resigned during a
general upheaval at that time. 1t is
known that he does not want the job
and would much prefer to remain at his
present post.

the Forty second ward, is being con
sidered for the post of assistant director
to succeed Joseph 9. Wagner, who will
be returned to his former position as

backward, turn backward, oh time
in your flight,
Give us a maiden with skirts, not SO
tight;
Give us a girl whose charms, many
or few,
Are. not exposed by much peek-a-boo.
Give us maiden, no matter whatage
Who wont use the street for a vaude-
vile stage.
Give us girl not so sharply in view,
Dress her in skirts that the sun won't
shine through.
Then give us the dances Of days long
gone by,
With plenty of clothes and steps not
so high,
And turkey-trot capers and butter
milk glides,
And hurdy-gurd twist and the wiggle
tail slide.
Then let us feast our tired optics once
more
On genuine woman as sweet as of
yore.
Yes, time, please turn backward.
And grant our request,
For Gods richest blessing /
But not one undressed.

Much is being said and written
nowadays about this reconstruction
period, and we copy a mighty sensl-
BILE article this week from The Poca-
hontas Times. 1t hits pretty hard
at the gutter" the fellow who IS
not willing to take his medicine ana
hurry over this sick spell that has
come to the world.
Not a few of those who must sui
fer loss in this readjustment PERIOD
will do so unjustly-get more OF 1t
than they deserve-but most OF
us have had our innings, and wheth-
er forced into the game of greed and
grab or leading the way, that period
is passing and we must get out OF the
wreckage as best we can. Some Will
come out of it in better shape than
others-have made more and can af-
ford, if necessary, to lose more; SO,
also. some have clearer consciences
and cleaner hands than others.
The process of defiation must be
recognized and given full sway: We
have inflated ideas in our heads, as to
living, buying and selling, and while
that coveted state of normally will
not be reached in a week or month,
along whatever line the process be-
gins, or has begun, it is useless to
howl when hit or try to stem the
tide. 1t was claimed by some thought
full minds that period of five years
would be required to bring all COM
modities to a satisfactory, equitable
level, and few of us doubt it, but
many of the necessary things of life
and living are off and coming off dali
vi. Flour, meats, many things in the
grocery lire, clothing, cotton goods,
etc., are down nearly one half. Some
of these reductions are only read OF
in the rural districts, but other cuts
in prices are enjoyed right at home.
Labor is recognizing the fact that
the time has come for it to yield its
proportion. In a neighboring state,
where bids for road construction were
prohibative, the authorities have late
~ accepted bids that are off three
fourths from those asked a few
months ago and have contracted for
the work. Here in Highland war
prices are asked and being paid for
teams, although grain is back to the
1914 figure, and there has been no
material concession on the part OF
day-labor, or man power along any
line.
1t is a time when we naturally try
to take the best care we can of our
selves-to save what we can from the
wreck going on-but to hasten the
better, saner day and time, obstinate
means must not be employed. The
boys who went to the front all had a
part in the winning, but all did not
come out alike. When the seller was
fored to mark his wares up, the con-
sumner groaned but submitted; now,
when circumstances call for a mark
down." the temper of the seller is
put to the test.
Surely, as our exchange says, it is
folly and sheer nonsense to talk about
"quitting." If we can't do as we
please, we must do the best we can.
The next three years will be more
satisfactory business years than the
past three, provided we all adopt
sane thinking and quit kicking
against the inevitable.
The whole world was topsy-turvy--
out of joint; the world is made up of
individuals, and as such we are all
concerned in and touched by the huge
process of reimbursement

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calon1a, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief throigh pr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen. tly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calornel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty, sickening, priping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- tice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.
 Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for week and note the effect. 10c and 25c;

THIRSTY THIEVES
 STEAL HOLLAND GIN
Six Barrels of Rare Liquors Taken From Baird Daniels DiStillcry
 at Thompsonvilie.

Thompsonvile, March 15.-Some time during the past week thirsty thieves entered the Baird Daniels dis tillcry, located in the south part of this town, and stole six barrels of rare old Holland gin. The liquor was stored in the bonded warehouse and entrance was gained by sawing off the locks. The thieves were apparently gin experts as they passed up other grades of liquor, being satisfied with nothing but the best. How they man aged to break into the building and get away with six full barrels is one of the mysteries in tho case.
 The watchman, August Midden, has a room on the second floor in the of flee building, where he is supposed to stay every night He is not certain whether the robbery took place during Saturday night or several nights ago The fact that the liquor is kept under government seal prevents the watch man from going into the building or having anything to do with locking or unlocking the doors,
 Chief of Police Rogers. who was notified yesterday, before making fur ther Investigation telephoned to Mr. Edwards of Warehouse Point, gaser at the diStillerE. A checking up of barrels led to the discovery that six of the best quality of Holland gin were missing. Each barrel holds 50 gal Ions. having a present value of S1200.
 Chief Rogers promptly reported the robbery to the state department of justice. and, a force of internal reve- nue officers will make an effort to round up the thieves.
 The Baird Daniels distillery has been closed during the past three years. but large quantity of it's pro- duct has been in the warehouse under government seal

EBERT MEN PREPARE

Revolt Is Not Getting Country's
 Whole Support

Berlin. March 15.--Leaders of the Ebert government, busted from power by the sudden reactionary recolt Sat urday morning are apparently gather ing their forces to combat the new regime here, They are being aided by forces of labor, which have de- , rlared a general strike throughout Germany as a protest against the change in the nations government.
 Prussia seems to be the nucleus around which the military leaders have built up their movement. Re ports from various cities in other parts of Germany would indicate that Gustav NoSke. minister of defense in ? the old government. has forces at his disposal, and that there is popular op- position to the new regime. Even in Hamburg the old government is said to have taken control of strategic points and the Hamburg senate has issued d proclamation denouncing the new government and asserting it's in tention 10 retain control in that state.
 Support Not General.
 Men who are directing the policies y.of the government headed by Oar. sN olfgang kapp have not yet secured political support although a statement issued last night declared the pres tige of the government has increased in south Germany since Saturday. Fa- talities in fighting at Frankfort and adoption of resolutions by workmen at Dusseldorf Essen and Cologne against the revolt would not reflect sentiment in those localities favorable to the regime installed in office on Saturday.
 Strike orders were issued yesterday in this city and it is expected the critical moment for the new govern ment will come when Workingmen walk out. Chancellor Kapp has an eoilnced he would take decided steps to suppress any insurrcction by strik- CTS but it does not seem probable he "Sn prevent a wholesale stoppage of work in Berlin and throughout Ger many.
