"No; the delegates expect to pay
their own expenses"

Edge.
"Hukreide went all over the state;
Babler had perhaps 400 people from
all over the state to come to st.
Louis, paying their expenses and en-
tertaining them while there; litera-
ture was sent out everywhere to pre-

Morse said they did no newspaper
advertising and that first Wood had
the Kansas City Star and the coun-
try press generally behind him, but
no organization. Senator Reed
seemed amused at this, and he and
Morse chuckled at each other.
Morse and Babler attended to the
disbursement of the money, and he
gave Babler checks from time to
time as funds arrived from Emmer-
son.

Fire at Fisk's Theatre.

Wednesday afternoon as George
Beach was generating the gasoline
torch in the corn popping machine at
Fisk's theatre the gasoline in the
pipe leading to the tank. in some way
caught fire and exploded, throwing
the burning gasoline on his arm and
hand. Had it not been for the
prompt action of Manager Fisk, who
happened to be near bv he would
have been seriously burned. He was
taken to the office of DR.. Chastain,
where the burns were dressed and
found to be not serious. So thor
oughly was his clothing soaked with
gasoline that they again caught fire
from an alcohol lamp in the office of
the doctor.
The machine was badly damaged, a
partition destroyed and the rear row
of seats badly burned. The interior
decorations were considerably dis
colored by smoke. The fire depart
ment responded to- an alarm and ex-
tinguished the blaze with chemicals.

Decoration Day Services.

The usual decoration day program
was carried out in Butler Monday.
At 9:3o o'clock the parade composed
Of the Butler band, soldiers from the
last three wars that the United
States has been engaged in, flower
girls and automobiles filled with men
and women carrying flowers to dec
orate the graves of loved ones,
formed on the square and marched
to Oak Hill cemetery where services
were held over the graves OF soldiers
OF the war OF the oo's and those of
the more recent World War. Short
talks were made by Hon. II. o.
MaXcy and ID. {. Chastain. Taps
was sounded by Harley Johnson,
who was bugler with the American
Expeditionary Forces in France.
Sunday afternoon the memorial
services were held at the Ohio street
NJ L. church. The sermon was by
Rev. II. A. Mitchell and a special
musical program under the direction
OF the local Legion post was rem
dered.
1t is doubtful if Oak Hill ever pre-
sented So beautiful an appearance as
on this occasion. Sunday the Daugh-
ters OF Rebckah and the |. o. 0. +.

a profusion OF flowers everywhere.

him, but both added that Babler in
sisted they take the money and spend
it "some time" when they might need
it in the registration work or other
wise, in a political way.
Goldstein was asked by Chairman
Kenyon why he had denied to. a
Globe-Democrat reporter receiving
any Lowden money.
"Just because l realized l had made
a mistake in taking it, l knew it
could not have been intended for
making up the registration lists,
Goldstein replied.
In the course of his examination,
Goldstein said he would vote for
Lowden in the Missouri delegation
caucus at Chicago, but that if ma
jority of the delegation voted for
some other man he would abide BY
the majority.
Goldstein twice told the committee
they were not familiar with ward
politics, and each time Senator Ken
yon and other members of the conf
mittee admitted they were mere
novices" at that game.
In reply to questions by Senator
Reed, Goldstein said he had made up
his mind, "after all the unpleasant
publicity" came out about it, to re-
turn the money.
Although they got the money,
neither Goldstein nor Moore had
promised to support Lowden.
E. L. Morse told of $500 he had
given his old friend, Joe Black, of
Richmond, ito take care of Ray
County; Crouch of the Bethany Re-
publican, $1oo; ]. w. Hallett of Me-
vada, 5000, "for which he did good
work." and $1,000 to John Kesterman
of Princeton, for Mercer County.
Morse explained that he was state
manager for Lowden, with the excep,.
ton of St. Louis City, which he did
not agree. to take on. The agreement
was contingent upon the approval OF
Babler and the state organization.

Nov, boiling this whole thing
down" said Reed, "the method of
campaign was to get in touch with
the active, influential workers in the
various parts of the state and tell
them to get busy?"
Babler said they were a part of his
Organization. He did not know any
thing about the Wood campaign or
who received the money. He under

international obligation or the safe
ty of independent peoples. Such a
peace with Germany-a peace in
which none of the essential interests
which we had at heart when we en-
tered the war is safeguarded-is. or

Immediately after the Presidents

over the objections by the Demo-
Gratis.
Democrats several times interrupt

Indications, based upon the vote
by which the resolution passed the

Rates.

The Adrian Journal mas finally had
to come to it. Its last issue carried
an announcement that beginning
July I, the subscription rate would re
raised to $I.5o per annum On account
of the constantly rising price of

Adrian Journal have held out longer
than most publishers. hoping that
some day the prices might decline,
but as the tendency has all been the
other way. there was nothing to do
but announce a raise.

Well, after a while the drilling was

Oh. yes, Everything and everything.

Why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR owns HAIR

They do, not because 1t Is fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair 1t is never wise to
use a makeshift, but Is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
Of about 5 cents shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head, as with most prepare
tions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that 1t will look much
heavier than it is. It's luster and soft
ness will also delight you.-Adver-
tisement
