WESTERN UNION REPORT.
Western Unions annual report was
considered very favorable by many
brokers. One opinion expressed was:
Compare the Western Union state
ment FOR 1920 with the Telephone
and Telegraph statement
Since 1907 Western Union has not
sold any securities. Between 1915 and
1920 gross earnings have increased
from $4,000. 900 to $121. 100000.

the stock. Which Is the ono which

THE NEXT GENERATION DRY
Because it Won't KNOW" Liquor,
Mr.. Kramer Says.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE United
states will never be literally dry, Pro-
Inhibition Commissioner Kramer de-
lciared today, though he expressed The
opinion prohibition is here to stay.
Sentiment for prohibition and prac-
'tical prohibition will come after the
present generation, which is familiar
with liquor, Is gone, he continued.
though there probably always will he
some few individuals who will make
intoxicants in their homes. The sons
and daughters of the men of today.
he said, viii grow up without taste
for liquor.
Il The commission asserted that de
spite evidences of law breaking in
some sections, the country as whole
is behind the amendment to the Con-
stitution. New York and the East,
he asserted, cannot be considered as
rejecting the attitude of the country
at large, and in general west of Pitts
lburgh the country is dry.
Difficulties experienced with prohi-
bition agents were to be expected, he
said, but as a body they were doing
their duty. Most of the enforcement
agents Mr.. Kramer described as men
who could take a drink in order to
carry out thei ORDERS" but his best
agent, he said was a Methodist min
lister.

NOTED FEUD LEADER DEAD
Pneumonia Ends Career. Of. Devil
Anse" Hatfield at 80.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. p
Devil Anse" Hatfield, noted leader
in the Hatfield-McCoy feud of thirty
years ago, is dead. Word of his
death last night in the Hatfield home
at Island Creek, Logan County West
Virginia, reached Huntington tonight.
Pneumonia caused his death.
Anderson ("Devil AnseD Hatfield
was one of the leaders of the historic
feud between the Hatfield and Mccoy
families in the mountains of West
Virginia and Northern Kentucky.
Shot at from ambush and in hand-to-
hand combat scores of times with the
McCoys, he had aways' predicted he
would live to die natural death, as
he now has at the age of SO, without
bearing any marks of battle.
Devil Anse' had reputation as a
crack shot, that was known through
out the mountainous region of the
two states,
The celebrated feud of the Hatfield
family with the McCoys was started
over some hogs, one of the Hatfields
winning lawsuit that was brought
to determine their ownership. Soon
after that brother of Devil Anse
was shot and wounded by one of the
McCoys. The feud then started and
did not end until the few remaining
McCoys went over into Kentucky,
where they now live. All told, about
thirty persons met death in the feud.

JAPAN PAPER URGES ANGLO
ALLIANCE BE ADVOCATED
Says it Would Make Understanding
With u. S. Much Easier.

Toxic, Jan. 6-Abrogation of tho
Anglo Japanese alliance was urged
Thursday by the newspaper Osaka
Asahi in its comment upon the Amer
lean proposal that the United States
Great Britain and Japan declare a
holiday" in the construction of sea
armament. This newspaper is one Of
the most influential in Japan.
The newspaper argued that it would
be much easier to arrive at an UNDER
standing with the United States if the
alliance were abolished, adding that
England no longer needed Japan.
highlands postwar policy, contin-
ued the newspaper, is based upon pro-
Americanism and the country is ap-
parently resolved to overcome all Diff
ticulties to establish AN Anglo-Saxon
alliance.
America may not reciprocate Eng
lands advances, says the newspaper,
but Japan should realize the futility
of relying OH England for help if she
got into difficulty. The Osaka Asahi
adds that if England and Japan sim
cerely desire to limit ornaments it is
essential to eliminate the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance first in order to allay
American suspicion.

Is Missouri Safely "Dry?"

Jefferson City, Jan. 5.-There Is
not enough booze sentiment or whiS-
ky breaths around the Missouri legis-
lature = to cause the Anti-Saloc:l
League to give the fifty-first general
assembly more than a passing
thought.
The Rev. w. c. Shupp, superb
tendent of the Missouri Anti-Saloon
League, dropped in town today, just
to look around a bit. After viewing
the converted bar-room of the Mad
ison, where coffee now is served over
a shining mahogany bar and the
apathetic look on the face of most
OF the legislators, he announced there
would be little to keep him in Jeffer-
son City this winter.
Mr.. Shupp said the only prohibition,
legislation he knew of were bills 10
make the state enforcement law equal
fy as strong as the federal law.

Farmers Mutual Replies to Mayor
Hull.

11ul.
At the request of representatives of
the Farmers Mutual Telephone Co.,
we publish the following reply to the
statement of Mayor Hull published in
our issue of January 6:
FARMERS ACCEPT MAYORS
OFFER.
]. T. Hull, Mayor Butler:
There has been published in all the
Eutlcr papers over your signature,
and without denial from the Butler
Telephone Company, the following
statement:
I'VE have these propositions from
Mr.. Erhart: He offers free connec-
ton both ways when there is only one
other switchboard. He offers to
switch all incoming calls from your
company free, and charge ten cents
for outgoing calls. A hardship on
Butler, but one we are willing to fore
go to get the matter settled. He Of
iers to buy your company out. lie
offers to sell his plant to your conf
pany."
In your statement published to the
public and which must therefore
have been candid and aboveboard,
you have mentioned no conditions, re-
Guiremcnts or strings on any OF these
offers.
The Farmers Mutual Telephone
Company therefore accepts withou.
reservation and just as it is offered
that proposition you state as follows:
He offers free connection both ways
when there is only one other switch
Loard. He offers to switch all in
coming calls from your company
free, and charge ten cents for out-go-
ing calls"
: The Farmers Company has no right
and has never asserted any to say
what the Butler Company shall
charge its city subscribers. The Far
mers Company has sought to impose
10 hardship on Butler. 1t has never
desired more or asked more than to
give service for service. And if the
Butler Company takes q charge f"r
the service we give, it is not a matter
We have any right to control.
We ask you that the city council
give us permission to run our wires
to connect with the Butler company.
And If connections are not at once
made between the systems we ask
that you be fair and candid to this
company in giving as wide publicity
10 why our unqualified acceptance OF
the offer il not accepted as you have
given to the offer.
Whatever. charges the Butler COM
yany may make to its subscribers is
not matter in which we have any
part. We are asking not one penny |
tom the company OF its Subscribers. |
Of these charges must be |

Million Idle in Britain Menaces Gov.
eminent as Reds Stir Labor.

London, Jan. 7.-The menace OF
unemployment in Great Britain IS
growing at an alarming rate. More
than 100000 unemployed are regis
tered with the government, but, &C.
cording to an authentic estimate Fri
day the number actually exceeds L.
100000. The great army of unem-
ployed has been increased 100000 in
the past fortnight.
Precautionary measures are being
taken to cope with rioting, especially
in London, where the leaders are
again threatening to march upon the
premiers residence and parliament
building.
Among the bolshevist sympathi1er,
are some who go so far as to claim
that leaders of the unemployed are
secretly working out plans for rcv,'-
luton. They are counting OH support
from the British troops. A great part
of the army garrisoning England at
this time is made up of boys and me-,
who reenllsted because they could not
get work after the war.
The unemployed are organized and
have efficient leaders.
