Halloween Festivities
Dinner and Entertainment
AT Oak Grove Seminary

Halloween festivities held full
sway at Oak Grove on Saturday eve
ming. The first surprise came when
the big family gathered for dinner
and found the dining room saily
decorated for the occasion. Appro-
pirate centerpieces graced each table
while at each pla,o were jolly little
favors with witches that nodded, cats
that blinked. maidens that bobbed for
apples and a variety of Halloween
toys that caused great merriment
The menu was also a regular Hal
lowe'en one.
The party in the Gym. began at
o'clock under the auspices of the
junior class and was a complete
triumph as a weird and uncanny af-
fair from the moment one entered
the doors. The guests were adj
mittcd singly and escorted to their
seats by doleful ghosts that moaned
increasingly. AS they passed a reals-
tic gypsy in orange and black, each
guest was presented with'a bonny lit
tie program. These were in booklet
form of pumpkin yellow art paper

was a clever water color sketch of a
scene of distant mountains, lake, cat
tails and gnarled tree in black
silhouetted against the sky with an
old witch flying across the golden
moon. The program was within and
was mystic one.
The first part of the entertainment
was weird churchyard scene with
tombstones in the distance. While
the various episodes were enacted by
clever juniors. An old crone, a skele-
ton, witch with real black cat,
corpse. and several ghosts comprised
the cast. The next number was a
duct by two monstrous black cats
and was the only number that was
not weird. The cats frisked about,
sang their midnight song and fin
ished with n cat fight that brought
forth prolonged applause. An acct
dent to one cats costume during the
fight prevented response to the de-
mand for an encore.
The last number was farce en-
titled THE Haunted Wood" The
stage was exceedingly well set and
one might easily have imagined him
self looking into small opening in a
lonely wood. AS the curtain rose on
the dimly lighted scene. the stars
twinkled above an old witch mixing
a potion in a gigantic cauldron over
a glowing fire. She caught the four
school girls who were spying upon
her and cast spell over them so
they were forced to remain until
frightful COLLINS and CHASTITY ghosts
had been summoned te perform their
Halloween rights and scare the girls.
II would be hard to imagine a pro-
duction more appropriate for Hal

they sluggishly filter or strain only

nervousness, constipation, dizziness,

The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your lack hurts. or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at

about four ounces Of Jad Salts from

your kidneys may then act fine. This

of grapes and lemo-l juice, combined

generations to flush clogged kidneys

to help neutraliZe the acids in urine

IFELAND'S CONSTITUTION

It is gratifying to learn that the
change in administration in Great
Britain does not threaten to impair
the work that has been done to estab-
lish sane government under Ireland's
new constitution. The Irish leaders
who have struggled to establish it
are looking confidently for England's
approval. When approved and put
into effect and law and order under
it are enforced the Irish Free state
will become an integral part of the
commonwealth of British Nations
with a measure of freedom really as
great as that enjoyed by Canada and
Australia.
Under this constitution all power
is to be derived from the people.
Universal adult suffrage, political
and religious liberties and the OK
elusive right to raise and maintain
an army are guaranteed. While
making Irish the official language it
comedies the same right to the Eng
lish language. Under it the rights of
minorties are protected.
Like the American Constitution
two legislative houses are provided
for and bills appropriating money
are to originate in the lower house.
The executive council is made re-
sponsible to the chamber of deputies.
The right of peaceable assemblage is
preserved. In short the general
conclusion of those who have care
fully considered it is that under it
Ireland will have the unquestioned
substance of freedom. If it may be
put into effect and upheld Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins, and
many others who struggled homer
ably and devotedly, will not have
lived and died in vain.

ON WAY TO MEET NEED

This country secs the need of so
adjusting its affairs that home in
dustry shall receive some measure of
protection. Even Democrats, pro-
4, ssing their belief in tariff for rev.
enuc only, do not live up to their
avowed political faith. But what
have We given in the way of protec-
ton to the shipping interests, and
how may we expect to retain those
every intelligent citizen knows do ac-
company an adequate merchant ma
rine, unless we treat them in the
same enlightened way in which we
are treating other American enter
prises?
Commissioner Plummcr of the
Shipping Board did not ovcrstate the
situation when he said in recent
address: National and commercial
security demand that we have a mer-
chant marine sufficient to handle a
majority Of our foreign trade at all
times. That's what the builders of
this country demanded and secured:
hats what their descendants arc
seeking today"
Says Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt: 1--WE always speak
of our independence There is but
one way we can be properly indepen-
dent. and that is to be self sufficient
we cannot he self sufficient unless we
have merchant marine of our own.
Of our own unless the present ship
subsidy bill or legislation Of like ma
turc. Is passed"
Leaders OF foreign thought, espe-
cally in England, are trying to lead
the American people away from this
idea for they wish to retain their
grasp on one OF the richest prizes in
the world. They have supporters
here in America who object to the
ship subsidy but who-let this sink
in-have no alternative proposition to
make! They do not tell us how in
any other way we may get possession
Of that which rightfully belongs to
us and which we absolutely need.
1t ought to go without saying that
the need is as much that of the great
agricultural states with their surplus
products seeking foreign markets as
Il is Of the states, the shores Of which
are washed by the ocean. Governor
Allen of Kansas has no difficulty in
clearly seeing this. He says: THE
American farmer, miner. merchant
and mechanic cannot compete in SELL
ing their excess products abroad I'M
less we have our own delivery system
owned and operated by Americans"

Jap Extravaganza
Shown in Booze"

Osaka, Japan, Oct. 1.-THE con-
sumption of sake, Japan's national
and potent drink. increased from A.
2G6,354 koku in 1914, to 6,7S2,176
in 1919 and cigarettes from 1851
174,460 to 1895. 100000 in the same
period. These figures were quoted bv
DR.. Rentaro Mizuno, minister of
Home Affairs. as evidence of the
growing extravaganza of the people
OF Japan.
Japan is still suffering from the
high prices Of the war period" the
minister said. 1.-THE causes NAV be
attributed to the continued extrava-
gancc of the nation, which is appar-
entity still dreaming of the war boom
and also to increased purchasing
power. But the increasing pur-
chasing power of the Japanese peo-
pie is lacking in soundness. The
urgent need Of today is to break
through the prevailing extravagant
habits by the promotion of economy.
The export and import trade of
Japan in pre-war days stood in the
neighborhood of 1861, 100000 ven.
which increased to 4,272, 900, 900 ven
in 1919. while the excess of exports
over imports during this period
amounted to 1,4o0, 100000 yen. The
specie also showed most remark
able increase. This state of affairs
is responsible for the present Iuxu-
rious habits Of the japanese people.

Back to Work

tPubllC Ledger
America has gone back to work.
The recent Geographic survey made
BY the United States employment
service confirms what every employer
knows. Business has been improv-
ing for weeks. AS business improves
the labor market is being swept clean
OF the supply.
Ihere has been shortage of COM
mon labor all summer. That began
with the rush Of building operations
that started before the frost was out
of the ground this spring. The great
read building programs under way
all OYER the American map finished
taking up the slack of common labor.
That shortage is still acute and may
continue all winter, as building OPP
erations are slowing up but little as
cold weather approaches.
Building activity was what broke
the back of the unemployment crisis
in America. A year ago somewhere
between 100000 and 100000 Am
orleans were out of work Condi-
tons bettcred a little through the
winter, but it was spring and the tap
OF hammers and the clink of trowels
that sounded the forward march back
to the jobs and plenty of them.
A year ago we were calling ma
tjonal unemployment conference, and
we were facing winter of bread
lines and soup kitchens. Concerted
action in industry and in public
enterprises STAYED off a crisis. We
got through the winter somehow
without trouble
Twelve months has seen the
change. Had it not been for the twin
strikes, the rail and coal walk outs,
the unemployment slack would have
been taken out months ago. When
the worker counts the costs Of those
two big strikes here is something he
should not forget.
\ Very few persons are hunting work
now, and there will be even fewer if
the railways are able to overcome the
present car shortage. The nation is
back on the job. America has gone
back to it's work

Joscphus Daniels disputes Franklin
*. Lanes statement that at a Cabin
ct meeting on February 25, 1917,
Daniels said we must not convoy
that would be dangerous" The OK
Secretary Of the Navy now explains
that he was merely reporting to
President Wilson the views OF the
British Admiralty on the subject of
convoy. However this may have
been, it is matter between two wit
nesses to the same conversation.
But Mr.. Daniels goes much further
and tells us that President Wilson
was one of the original advocates of
naval convoy for merchant ships, so
expressing himself on February 25,
1917. Late in March Of that year,
Mr.. Daniels AYERS, he instructed Rear
Admiral Sims to the effect that Pres
ident Wilson believed the British Adj
mraltys view on conveys was wrong.
and ought to be abandoned. Mr..
Daniels adds: shortly OTTER his ar
rival in London Admiral Sims pre-
scented President Wilson's views on
the convoy to Admiral Jellicoe and
short time thereafter the convoy sys-
tenn was put in practice with good
results"
It is an interesting story But 1t
is strangely at variance with the rec
ords. Admiral Sims sent a long mes
sage to Washington under date of
April 19 In it he said:

the United States is able to put in
operation sufficient tonnage to war

There is not hint here that Sims
was conveying IDEAS furnished TO
HIM by the President through Dam
iels. Had he forgotten the Daniels
conversation Had Mr.. Daniels him
self forgotten it?. Otherwise, how
