The weirdness of the occasion was
further impressed by the preesnce OF
spooks, witches and hobgoblins. A
fortune teller in tent surrounded
by autumn leaves, a fish pond and
other attractions were well patron
lied and proved sources of much
merriment. Homemade candy, pea
nuts, iced tea and sandwiches were
served. The affair was one of the
most successful ever given here and

on the success attained Quite a

an eye on a pumpkin head were some

OPEN N0STRILS! END
A COLD. OR CATARRH !
How To Get Relief When Head
and Nose are Stuffed Up.

Count fftyl Your cold in head or
catarrh disappears. Your clogged nos
trils will open, the air passages of your
head will clear and you can breathe
freely. No more snuffling, hawking,
mucous discharge, dryness or headache;
no struggling for breath at night.
Get small bottle of Ely's Cream
Balm from your druggist and apply a
little of this fragrant antiseptic cream
in your nostrils. It pehetrates through
every air passage of the head, soothing
and healing the swollen or iniamed
mucous membrane, giving you instant
relief. Head colds and catarrh yield
like magic. Don't stay stufed-up and
miserable. Relief is sure.

WILSON INSISTS
 UPON ENFORCING ANTITRUST ACT
Veto to Extension of Delay Is 1 Sent to Senate-RailroadS Are Dissatisfied-Labo
 Frankly Pleased
By Associated Press

Washington December 30-Railroads of the country, after tomorrow will be pro-
 hibited from buying equipment from com
 panes in which they or their officers are interested as the result of veto today by
 President Wilson of bill to delay fur
 ther the operation of such a prohibitory provision in the Clayton antitrust act
 The last of three separate two-year sus- pensions of the prohibitory section ex-
 pires tomorrow at midnight.
 The President, in announcing his veto through a message to the Senate. de-
 clared the railroads had been given seY- eral extensions of time to prepare for
 observance of the law, and that no ade-
 quate reasons had been presented for further postponement of it's operation.
 Railroad representatives, on learning or the presidential veto, overriding to f recommendation of the interstate com
 merce commission that the bill be ap-
 proved, declared failure to suspend fur l ther the operation of the Clayton act pro-
 vision would mean drastic and immedi- ate revision of carriers system of buy ling equipment. The contention also was
 made by the railroad representatives that | the required cndnSe duueu HuHuIeuS VI | thousands of dollars to the cost of rail-
 road operation.
 l The Presidents veto message, on re- ceipt by the Senate, was read and lett on the Vice Presidents desk for future
 action. Senate leaders said they could
 not determine immediately what would
 be done or when further action could come. Senator LaFollette, republican, Wisconsin, an opponent of the bill, se-
 cured unanimous consent for postpone l ment probably till next week.
 l President Wilson, in his veto messase' said that the principle of prohibiting rai'-
 roads from being both buyers and sellers of their railroad supplies was sound, anu 1 that with the interstate commerce com
 mission prepared to enforce the law, py preparation of regulations, he could nor assent to further delay. The bill was opposed by railroad labor and w. ii. Johnston, president of the international Association of Machinists recently urged the President to reject it, declaring IL would simply legalize great steal rom the American people" The bill was passed on the same day and under the same circumstances as the Poindexter anti-strike bill with few senators present and virtually without debate.
