PURE LIQUOR
AT TOP PRICE
Stuff Sells In Hampton, In Five
Gallons Cans, AT $40
Per Gallon.
THE DELIVERY WAS
POOR THOUGH
Local Buyers Pay The Price But
Only Get About Two
Quarts.

Talk about taking money from the
babies! 1t is nothing compared to
what was done to a few Hampton
citizens one night last week by a
smooth guy who dropped into town
few days previously and took or
ders for some of the real stuff in
five gallon lots at $50 per gallon. 1t
is said that he took in $500 and
instead Of delivering five gallons to
each of the patrons he delivered
about two quarts-the balance in the
can was, pure water. You see there
was a "container, within con-
tainer."
The aforesaid crook arrived in
town, hired one of our citizens for
$40 bill to introduce him to a few
prospects" who liked to have some
Of the real stuff around--for med
zeal purposes. He succeeded in Sc
curing orders from five parties, and
the delivery was to be made in q
corn field, a few miles north of
Hampton.
The crook had a regular govern
ment tester, but it only touched the
hole in the small container. II
tested like the pure stuff to the five
patrons. It was the real stuff. The
money changed hands, about $500,
and the aforesaid crook drove gall
lantly away, with head up. The five
patrons returned to Hampton with
the precious cans quietly tucked
away out of sight After getting
home further investigation was
made by one of the local parties. He
does not get stung very often, but
this was his time. Five gallons at
500 and only two quarts of the
real stuff. The crook ought to have
been arrested for obtaining money
under false pretgses. Hampton

BASEBALL TAKES PLACE OF
RACING
The Perry, Iowa, Fair viii Try The
Substitution.

Perry, Iowa-0fficerS of the Tri-
County Fair Association, have de-
cided upon a most important change
in the program which has been pre-
pared for the fall show-Sept. 13,
IA and Is.
The trotting and pacing races,
which have always been feature
of every fair, will be discontinued
this year and in their stead a base
ball carnival will be held.
The change was made by the of
ficers after great deal of investi-
CATION among all classes of people.
Practically every man seen stated
emphatically that he would rather
see some good baseball games than
he would the races. The impetus
which the Perry team has given the
game in this community has been
exceptionally strong and every one
is talking baseball from morning
until night. The same conditions
exist in the towns from which the
fair will draw its biggest crowds,
and the farmers generally are more
enthusiastic over the ball games
than they are over harness races.
According to the present plans,
five or six games will be played
during the three big days Of the
fair. Just what teams will play has
not been announced.
In addition to the ball games,
the officers of the fair state that
there will be a program of running
races, novelty races and other
events which will take every min
ute of time during the afternoon.

ADVERTISING YOUR CITY
Send Copy of Your Home Paper
To Your Distant Friends.

A favorite way for getting pub
licity for the advantages of cities,
has been for newspapers to issue
special industrial editions in which
they have write ups Of all their local
concerns, and other activities. 1t
is a good scheme and always helps
get publicity.
But it calls upon the business men
to assist to such large extent
that most newspapers do not feel like
undertaking it very often. But
there are othel ways in which the
same result can be attained, if the
public feels disposed to cooperate.
Newspapers in many places are
following the plan of printing, quite
frequently descriptive articles re-
garding some feature of their home
town life. They urge their people
to send away marked copies of those
issues to their friends. In that way
an enormous amount of good pub
licity matter is being distributed.
The Public Opinion is constantly
printing special articles that could
be used in this way to give public
ity to DEBORAH. The material ought
not to be read merely by the people
living here at home. A great many
copies of all such issues ought to
be mailed in single wrappers to the
friends Of our home folks.
The accounts constantly appearing
in our columns Of the work of our
local organizations, and the report
of many Of our community activities,
would interest thousands of. distant
people who are engaged in similar
enterprises in their home commupi-
ties. Also our people who are con-
Quoting these activities here, haze
many friends in distant places who
would ike to know what they are
. doing.
Every time you send out to your
friends copies of the Public Opinion
containing such descriptive matter,
you not merely tell them things
about the activities of DEBORAH that
will interest them, but you convey
the idea that this is a live place and
a center Of modern progress.

Man Sues Wife for AIimony

Now that woman votes, must she
pay alimony? asks the st. Paul
Pioneer Press in the following:
The question of whether the privil-
eye Of suffrage carries with it GER
tain penalties heretofore suffered by
men will probably be determined in
Judge c. S. Jelley's district court
of Hennepin county. Benjamin Liss,
Mill City, peddler, is suing Minnie
Liss for alimony and support. Judge
Jelley took the case under advise
ment for a consultation Of authorities
to ascertain whether it can be done.
The question has never before arisen
IN Minnesota, he said.
Hiss, after working with his wife
and obtaining considerable property,
was stricken with paralysis two
years ago. His wife he charges,
sold the property jointly held and
refused to support him with the
proceeds of the sale.

The Left for the Pedestrian

The National Safety News urges
pedestrians walking on country
roads, to keep to the left. Though
contrary to the ordinary rule of
keeping to the right, yet this is
much safer. In that way automo-
biles coming up behind him will be
on his right, so he will not be in
danger from them. And he can see
the cars coming toward him, so he
can step out to avoid them.
The experienced hobo, when walk
ing on a railroad, always travels on
the left hand track. He has studied
this problem from long experience.
Pedestrians are frequently hurt on
country roads when cars come up
behind them without giving warn
ing.

Arguing For Scent Letter Postage

Arguing For Scent Letter Postage
The Waverly' Independent Repub-
lican does not like the idea of re-
turning to cent letter postage, but
the indianapolis News is inclined to
think it is n good scheme to help
Uncle Sam pay his debts:
THE suggestion that there be a re-
turn to 3 cent postage-which pre-
vailed during the war-as one means
of raising the $4,OO0,OS0,OOO needed
to pay governments expenses next
year is worth the serious considera-
ton of Congress. While this would
properly be regarded as a tax, il
would be a tax for which the payer
got his full moneys worth, which is
not the case with all taxes. The eff
ficient dispatch and delivery of a
first class letter is worth more than
2 cents and it is worth more than 3
cents. No one pays it that does not
get the service given for It, and nc
one who gets the service can evade
paying it. 1t is self-collectible, at nc
expense to the government. 1t vii

SAW FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY
its Widespread U.s. for LISht and
Power Was Confidently Prsdletsd
In ths Year 1881.

The American Society Of Mechanical
Engineers has just been celebrating
its fortieth anniversary and Its jour
nal has dug from its archives the nrst
presidential address delivered BY the
late Robert H. Thurston early in 1881.
The year before had been signalized
by the invention of the Edison carbon
filament lamp and Doctor Thurston
predicted that for the occasional mild
light Of the moon or the yellow sick
~ flare Of the gus fame will sosn be
substituted the less uncertain and al
ways available, and always beautiful
and mellow, radiance Of the electric
fame"
Within three years there were 10
electric light stations in operation in
this country.
Doctor Thurston saw still farther.
He knew that the wizard Of Menlo
Park" was working with problems Of
electric power transmission and he
ventured this prophecy:
'The distribution Of power BY cleo
ricity is not unlikely to prove a more
important application Of this wonder
full force than Is the electric light"

commonplace Of life. Is there any

JAPAN EAGER ID
 LIMIT ARMAMENT
Former Minister of Justice Ends 1O,0OO- Mile Disarm-
 ameht Campaign Tour
By Associates Press

Tokio, July 4.---Okio Osaaki, former minister of justice, on the conclu- sion of a 10,ooo-mIle campaign of the empire in behalf of limitation of armaments, a campaign unparalleled in Japan's political history, declared his conviction today that if the United States government proposed conference on limitation of arma- ments it would meet with an eager response throughout the length and breadth of Japan.
 M. osaaki commenting further said.
 q should like to convey this mes- sage to the people of the Unit ed States If the American government proposes an international conference to discuss restriction of armaments It will surely be the beginning of a solution of all the diplomatic qnes- tions between Japan and the United States. If we are unable to prevent the clearly unnecessary wasteful naval completion, how can we ex- pect to solve other irritable and more complicated questions between our two countries. The latter will easily adjust themselves when the former has been settled"
 M Osaabi explained that he spoke In almost all the important cities and towns from Kyushu, in the farth- est south, to Kokkaido. in the farth- est north, addressing 100000 persons at 100 meetings, large and small. at which post cards were distributed so that his hearers could vote freely on disarmament. The final result on the returns from these carriers, M. Osaaki asserted, showed that 94 per cent favored limitation.
 The intense endeavor of M. OsaaN appears oshave awakened the nation to the fact that armament restric- ton is the supreme problem of the era for Japan. An investi gation In the highest official quarters elicited confirmation of previous statments that the government would welcome a conference on limitation.

Columbus, Ga. July 4-The state. ment that Former President Wilson Is as much entitled to wound stripes as any American soldier wounded in France. quoted by J. G.

 Commander. Emery also paid a tri- butte to the late national commander, who was to have made the address here today, and resolutions were adopted paying tribute to him. The statement by Commander Emery that the United States has no place for a red flag or "even for one slightly pink drew another round of aL- plause.
