JUDGE bOYCE DOES
NOT WANT POSITION
OF COMMITTEEMAN
Can Conceive of No Reason for
Accepting It if it Should be
rendered to Him.
DESIRES DEMOCRATIC UNITY

Judge William II. Boyce, of Dover
who has been suggested for Demo-
cratic national committeeman from
Delaware. says he does not desire the
position and can conceive of no rea-
son for accepting 1t II il should he
rendered To him.
When interviewed by representa-
tive of Every Evening. Judge Boyce
made the following statement:
Il was at Bedford Springs. Pa,
when the Democratic meeting was re-
Gently held at Rehoboth Beach. The
suggestion of my name ut the meeting
FOR national committeeman was with
out previous consultation with me by
anyone. The suggestion was, there
fore. without my knowledge or con-
sent. In view Of the recent occur
renee In this state ii was probably
only natural that my name should
have heen suggested with the hope
that 1t might aid in bringing about
harmony in the party, which is so
much lacking and which fear is far
of. 1t is high time that all disrupt
ing factional differences We're dropped,
and my sympathies Will be confined
only TO such a movement.
Il have not had at any time and
do not now have. the slightest in
clination towards the position of ma
tional committeeman. l do not de-
sire the position. and l can conceive
of no reason for accepting it if il
should be rendered to me. Indeed ]
would be constrained to decline its
acceptance. 1t would be very unfor-
tunate at this time to force the cleo
ton Of anyone lacking the elements
OF harmony"

TOO MUCH MONEY
Mase6da Charges Boscobel With Yio-
lating League Salary Rule

Museoda went down to defeat last
Sunday at the hands of a bunch of
professionals under the name Of Dos
cobe.". 1t was an aggregation that
is hard to beat by any other club il
this league. Boscobel has no scruples
about salary rules, and they are out
TO win at any cost. 1t is just the
manifestation of this spirit that is
killing the interest in the race-Mus-
coda Progressive.
The above is true to the best of our
knowledge, absolutely true. One Bos-
cobel fan told the Censor editor that
the town which put the most money
into getting ball players would win
the pennant. We know of only one
player on the Boscobel team who is
really Boscobel boy. Contrast this
with the Viroqua team, six of whom
are strictly home boys; and some of
our games have been played with only
one outside player--the pitcher. It
is credit for a town to produce local
players of sufficient merit to win it.
Give the local boys chance to play,
and hold the expenses down so that
the boys will have something to di-
vide at tie end of the season that will
partly make up for their efforts.
That's the way to make base ball per-
manent in small towns.

Wisconsin is Mecca Of Tourists

Some idea may be gained of the ex-
tent of the summer tourist business in
Wisconsin from the statement of a
single railway company selling tickets
at Chicago to Wisconsin resorts. To
July 9Th the number sold exceeded
$4,000. On single day 213 sleeping
cars were dispatched from Chicago to
the resort sections, carrying fully 5000
people. These are figures from only
one railway station. Other railways
had share in the traffic. Other cit
les and parts of the country are con-
tributing their quota to Wisconsin's
popular summering places. But the
number of tourists coming by train is
probably largely exceeded by the num-
Der coming by automobile. The roads
are fairly covered by tourists from
other states travelling by automobile,
and all along the trails the hotels are
filled nightly. This travel will contin-
ue to increase during July and August,
the two best vacation months. These
thousands of visitors are spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars daily
and helping swell the volume of the
states business. The towns which
reach out for this tourist trade are
getting the larger portion of it, but
nearly all the towns of Wisconsin are
getting part of it.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
lars Earned

The average man does not save TO
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved, That
being the case he cannot be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
ike buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
II is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but few cents, and a bottle of it in
the home often saves doctors bin Of
several dollars.

PORTLAND WOMAN
OUTWITS THIEF

Portland1 Feb. Sin the guise of real
estate representative, young man de-
manded admittance to house or
Moody street on Thursday declaring
that he had permission from the own
ers to look the house over thoroughly
previous to purchasing it. The lady OF
the house ''called his bluff and asked
him to name the owners, which he
failed to do but apparently was not
at all disturbed by her quizzing. She
then asked him to wait until she called
the owners by telephone but this was
sitting things down too fine to suit him
so he made a rather hasty and disap-
pointed exit. Upon his departure she
inquired OF the owners il the stated per
mission had been given the man and
was informed that such was not true as
they had no idea of disposing of the
property. 1t is thought that the man
may have employed this means to gain
admittance and size up the premises
with a profitable ransacking in view.
Several reports have been made OF sus-
picious acting persons in the Munjoy
Hill section, during the past week snerr
having been huddled in dark doorways
at night and of men accosting one or
twoy Dung ladies in an unfrequented
section on two occasions.

Rescued 500 Girls
from Harems in East

Portland, Me, Feb. Sit is esti-

rescued from harems and Moslem
prisons 500 Armenian and Syrian
girls while she was in Damascus
and Aelppo districts during and
after the war. She was Rose Shay
be, a Syrian girl of years. when
she landed in Boston. was educated
in Boston, at Colby College and the
Massachusetts Hospital Training
School
Meantime she had married and
was settled in her. domestic affairs
when the call came in 1917 for war
workers. She was IS months in
Base Hospital in France and then,
because of ability to speak Arabic,
was sent to Turkey with her hus-
band in charge of relief work at
Aleppo.
She was able to gain the confidence
of the timid slave girls and the
Moslems could not fool her, despite
threats against these girls should
they admit they were Christians.
Acting on orders of Jaffa Pasha,
who took instructions from French
army commanders. slaves were to
be liberated, but many sought to
conceal their PERSONAL property. In
trepid women like Mrs. Dunaway
foiled these attempts for the most
part. Many narrow escapes came
within her experiences.
