 Through the generosity and kind ness of A. I. Mitchell, the new town hall is to contain upon it's completion an honor roll of bronze with the names of Stafford men who served in the World war cast thereon. All soldiers who enlisted or were drafted, who could claim their home within the bounds of the town of Stafford, should appear upon the list Completion of the honor roll is in the hands of the 1 following committee: c. B. Pinney, R. R. Murray, B: P. Cooley, F. G. San ford, w. R. Preble, Chris Christensen, Nelson Madsen. Records are at best i incomplete. People have moved from I town to town. The committee has many difficulties to contend with and all aid given will be greatly appreciat- ed and lessen the work of the commit tee. The following potential list of ex-service men is printed in this issue of The Press with the hope that if there are any errors, omissions or exclusions, or if there be names ap- bearing upon the roll that should not be included, that any person reading the names will so note and feel il their duty to take the matter up with the committee compiling the record Once cast in the permanent bronze tablet it will be impossible to make corrections. The roll will be kept open for at least two more issues o1 The Press. Ex-service men and al
 townspeople who recall any one who served in the late war, and whose name does not appear on the follow
 ing roll will confer great favor upo1 the committee and also upon the sol
 d1er whose name is missing by callin1

 member of the committee.

tax laws, and compelled even Abra-
ham Lincoln to agree to its existence
by paying blood money into the public
treasury. From that day to this hour
the liquor traffic has been the enemy
of the school, the home, the church,
the country and even Almighty God,
himself.
THE accursed breweries were hot
beds of treason during the world war,
and they would spike every gun, sink
every ship, tear down every flag, and
trample under their unholy feet the
laws and Constitution of this country,
as we'll as the laws # God, him self.
For fifty years it has flung its defiance
in the face of the people and said:
you attempt to pass laws to interfere
with us and we will make more liquor
and sell more liquor than il we have
the open saloon Liquor traffic, its
followers and its hirelings, including
many members of the press, are
preaching anarchy and disobedience to
law and arc boasting of their ability
to break and violate the law until the
people in despair, conquered and de-
feated, surrender to it and permit its
return.
at is high time that men in high
positions should realize their COM
plicity in the dirty conspiracy of the
liquor traffic and its violation of law
by its wholesale bribery and purchase
of the press and public men, until it
can compel the people of the United
States to weaken the Volstead act and
to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment.
If they succeed in doing that, they will
succeed in doing what eleven states
with million men in arms could not
do in defying the moral sentiment of
this country.
81 say to you, Sir, that if by their
treachery, open anarchy and secret
bribery of the press and public men,
they compel us to repeal the Prohibi-
ton laws, then indeed is the end OF
this government in sight, and liberty
has perished upon the earth.
81 sincerely trust that you may live
to see the mistake you are making,
and repent of the error Of your ways.
"Yours very truly"

"The action of the Doctors at
St. Louis asking for the govern
ment sale of medicinal liquor
has merit in it, said Wayne B.
Wheeler, who passed through
Chicago en- route to Milwaukee,
to speak at the law enforcement
convention. q
"The experience of the few
states, however, that attempted
to take over the sale and man
ufacture of liquor is not very
reassuring. 1t will depend Oh
the kind of a method outlined i'll
the law and the procedure for
enforcing it to determine its
value. The suggestion for se7
curing. pure whisky for medici-
nal purposes in small quantities
is a good one. This can be ac-
complished by regulations un-
der the law as it is. The COM
plants thus far raised against
the distribution of medical liq-
uor have been against the regu-
lations and not against the law.
If any of these are unreason-
able the department will doubt
less modify them. The regula-
tons or restrictions i'll the ma
tiona1 Prohibition act itself are
less severe than in most of the
state Prohibition laws. 1t
would not release doctors from
these regulations even if the
federal act was amended or re-
pealed. Unless medical liquor
is regulated, it viii serve as the
means to dispense liquor for
beverage purposes by the pre-
scription route. Only about
one doctor in five dispenses
whisky as a medicine.
There is no inclination on
the part of the Anti-Saloon
forces to make these regulas
tions unnecessarily burdensome,
but there must be reasonable
regulations or the law will be
a farce

BUCKEYE MANUFACTURING
co. TAKES STRONG ACTION
Lives and Property of Company
Daily Imperiled by Gangs of
Bootleggers
SUPPORT CONSTITUTION
Employees Patronizing Bootleg
gers Will Not be Retained
on Company's Payroll

The Ohio Pal Company of Middle
field, Ohio, has taken a course in the
matter of supporting the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution thai
may seem arbitrary to some but which
nevertheless is entirely justifable boti
from business and moral standpoint
In letter addressed to the American
Issue the vice-presdent of the com.
pany said:
Our seventy employees signed the
paper with two exceptions. One who
is OF peculiar religious creed would
not sign, quoting the Bible at length tc
support his stand. We would not op
pose a man for his sincere religious
belief and he is still working. The
other was the father OF one of the
gang and he quit"
The paper in question was a notice
sent to each cmp!oye and is herewith
reproduced:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
The members of this company are
endeavoring with all their might
to uphold the Constitution of the
United States. In this endeavor
strange to say our lives and prop
crty are daily being threatened by
a gang of law-breaking despera-
does, five of whom at present be-
ing out on heavy bonds for their
appearance in court with charges
carrying penitentiary sentences.
The man who makes, carries or
drinks bootleg hooch is an enemy
and traitor to his country and a
menace to the people of this COM
munity.
This company will not carry
water on both shoulders in this
cleanup. 1t will not put its time
and money into campaign to i.
make this community a better
place in which to live, to make it
safe for women and children to
walk the streets, and at the same
time supply money through its
payrolls for men to buy this devil
ish stuff or money to protect the
men in this hellish business.
This company gives notice eff
fective&May l, 1922, that it will no
longer employ men who are pa
irons of bootleggers or in sympa-
thy with such law-breaking.
If you are drinker, or if you
are in sympathy with this traffic
and expect to follow this degrad-
ing life you are requested to call
for your time and to quit our en-
ploy on or before May l.
We would like to have every
man who is in our employ and
who subscribes to this proposition
call in the Office and let us have
his name so that we may know
who is standing for right and who
they are, and we hope for their
sake that they arc few, who stand
on the other side. This order
means business and will be en-
forced to the letter.
Yours for Clean Town and
less traitors to our great country.

California OIL Merger.

In connection with the recent strength
in all California oil company issues, it
has been reported that plans for mer-
ger of several OF the biggest and most
important of those companies are under
way Among those mentioned are the
Standard Oil Company OF California, the
Pacific Oil Company. the Associated
Oil Company and the Union Oil Com
pany of California. The Associated Is
controlled by the Pacific. and a large
block of the latter's stock is owned by
the Standard of California. 1t has been
reported in the Street that since the
official acknowledgment of the Stand
ards ownership OF large block of Pa
cific shares was made. several months
ago. many more have been acquired
which. it was said, explained the per-
sistent strength in Pacific. Yesterday
Associated Oil scored a sensational ad-
vance Of points to 1926 on heavy trad
ing. The basis of the merger, 1t was
said, was the desire of American oil in
terests In the California field to keep
out foreign oil interests. 1t is known
that the Union of California interests are
making every effort to keep the Royal
Dutch Shell interests out of that field
and have made several moves to that
end since the Union OIL Company of
Delaware, which owned 26 per cent of
the stock of Union of California, con-
solidated with the Royal Dutch inter-
ests.
