Held for Passing Check.

Meanwhile Emery, who through all
his vicissitudes had never gone under
an alias. was arrested in San Fran
cisco for having passed fraudulent
check upon a Los Angeles bank. He
did not say that he was innocent, but
that If he had he had no recollection
of 1t.
Meanwhile Emery's mother and
Spencer had been busy trying to re-
construct the IL dead years.
Emery has been a real estate man,
newspaper solicitor, merchant, ac-
countant. convict, head Of family
and, for a short period, something Of
a tramp. Always he stuck to his
name, but seemed to have nothing else
that linked him with his people and
his past
The check passing case has been
postponed at the suggestion of the
state and all of the efforts of the Off
calls Will be directed to restoring
Emery's mentality.

determined to wait no longer and am

at has been represented to me that
my experience in the practical legis-
lative work of the House of Delegates

regular sessions and two special ses-

Maryland has equipped ME to repre-

United States as efficiently as any ex-

My record in the General Assem-

may be well, however, to state specifi-

questions of the day.
prohibition and it's enforcement
are foremost in the minds of most
men. My record on this is well known
and | would not change it. The pub
lie can have no doubt of my attitude
on this question. The Eighteenth A
mendment is, however, an accom-.
plished fact and the law should be
obeyed by every citizen. 1t is also q
fact, too patent to be disputed that
the Volstead act has proved a failure
from every pont of view. Many of
its provisions are repungant to all
free men.
"The enforcement of prohibition is
a Federal duty, and so long as the
Eighteenth Amendment remains I'M
repealed, | favor such a modification
of the Volstead act that enforcement
would not outrage the feelings of our
citizens, either in requirements or
methods, yet would fulfill the reason
able expectations of the people when
they ratified the Eighteenth Amend
ncnt. If it be true that public senti-
ment does not sustain the amend
ment itself then it should be repealed
in the manner provided in the Consti-
tuition.

are discontinued and uneasy, and

themselves exposed to the charge of

that does not rest upon the consent
of the people.
"The Nineteenth Amendment like
wise is an accomplished fact. I be-
lieye that women should be given the
same political and civil rights as
men. l believe, however, that protc-
ton should be thrown around women
that men do not need.

cratic party is the preservation of the

Federal Government should be resist

of bureaucracy should be ended; ev-
cry useless Federal board and depart
ment should be abolished; there
should be more coordination in Gov

omy should be instituted at once.
"The system of Federal taxation
should be revised and simplifed, so
that agriculture, industry and bust
ness thus relieved from their letters
may be given a chance to revive and
the people become prosperous and
happy again.
"If nominated and elected these
general principles shall be my guide.

Married Three Women.

And yet, during the II years since
that moment, he married three times.
He was soon divorced by his first wife
because of his peculiar actions. With
his second wife he lived for many
years and had two children, although
he finally dropped out of sight.
Coming to Los Angeles, he became
an expert accountant for the old Los
Angeles Investment company, and
when it crashed he was convicted OF
embezzling and sent to San Quentin
for two years.
During the years in Los Angeles he
married third time, this wife suisse
quently dying.
Emery came to consciousness in
this way: He was walking along Mar
ket street, San Francisco, and, motto
ing many signs referring to that city,
he asked policeman: "Am lost, or
is this San Francisco?"
He then went into hotel, sat down,
and tried to think. He could only re-

WhoOping Cough.

This is very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoric,
codeine or other opiate is given, is
casily cured by giving Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ng that the time is very much short
cned, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy is
even. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of whooping cough, with pro-
nounced success. 1t is safe and
pleasant to Observation-Disclosures.

Holly Drainage Ditch Assured

The Holly Drainage project is now
assured. A. A. Welland of the Well
and Engineering Company, and w. S.
Partridge met with several of our
LEGAL promoters, J. S. McMurtry, w.
S. Pratt, John Duncan, Messrs.
Shively and Hall and others and an
agreement was reached Monday even
ing to the satisfaction of all.
A. A. Welland will be the engin-
eer assisted by Oscar Hellbeck and
Gordon and Gordon of Lamar will care
for the legal aspects.
This ditch is n vital matter to the
people of Holly. 1t will drain dis
trict of from four to six thousand
acres and redeem that portion of land
lying between the Buffalo ditch and
the Santa Fe tracks and from the Rail
way bridge on the west to the Kansas
STATE line. 1t will drain the town site
ard make it possible to have cellars
in the city.
1t may necessitate some changes in
the irrigation system so as to serve
this newly redeemed territory. The
boundaries originally set for the ditch
will be changed to some extent, but
only to serve the whole territory affec-
ted in better way.
We Fu rejoice in the happy termin-
alton of a long drawn out struggle
and believe it an omen Of harmonious
relationship between all the people
that make up the community. The
work on the ditch will begin soon.

was in a box near the stage. The
audience reached high state of ex-
element. The president was called
upon for a speech. He said the fol-
lowing:
"All that can say has already been
said most admirably in this beauti-
full play. All the sentiments / could
express have been admirably repre-
scnted-sentiments that, / hope, will
soon grip the world"
King George of England saw the
first production of Friendly Enemies
at the Haymarket Theatre in London.
After laughing heartily throughout
the play he called the producer and
expressed his appreciation for the
wonderful play.

mendous climaxes. This furnishes a
very wonderful lesson as well as gives

FUNERAL OF LATE
CLINE MCDOWELL
Large Attendance and Impressive
Ceremonies Over Remains of
Murdered Man

One of the largest and most impress
city of Lamar was that Tuesday after
neon over the remains of Cline X. Nc
Dowell. The Methodist church was
packed by the throng of friends and
admirers of this honored young man
and the deepest sympathy of all was
manifest throughout the service. The
scene was impressive to the highest
degree as the hearts of all could not
help but contrast this service in a
christian church with banks of
flowers around the coffin and Ameri-
can flags draped back of the pulpit,
and surrounded by those who had
loved and admired him. with that lone
ly scene at the grave Of his comrades
in Illinois. His brave battle against
the odds Of life in his crippled condi-
ticn was beautifully portrayed by an
eloquent minister in contrast to the
silence at the grave in Herrin; his
body was lowered to its last resting
place by six of the companions of his
youth, while theirH were tumbed into
ar unmarked grave. And the same
thoughts was in the hearts of all at
the close, THANK God, we live in n
free, christian community" The ser
vice was conducted by Rev. Thomas of
the Peoples Mission, who delivered a
most eloquent tribute to the life and
character of the deceased. He was
assisted by Rev. Logan of the Metho-
dist church. A special quartette fur
nished music for the service. The
pallbearers were James Johnston.
Raymond Lee, Harry Lee, Larry
Creaghe. Alva Filkins and Harry Con-
well. A long concourse followed the
body to its last resting place in River
side cemetery.

FRIENDLY ENEMIES
Louis Mann's Astounding Success In
cluded as feature Not a War
Play

"Friendly Enemies" is one of the
great plays produced in America. 1t
carries such lesson in patriotism
and loyalty as has seldom been writ
ten or dramatized.
Charles F. Horner has secured the
rights of production for the Chautau-
pua. This intensely interesting play
will be produced on the Pioneer Cir
cult with an excellent cast as is usual
with all Redpath-Horner productions.
Friendly Enemies" was given its
first showing in Washington. In the
cast were Louis Mann and Sam Ber-
rard.

The Holly Cow Club has announced

All of the first cutting of alfalfa
hay is now in the stacks. The hay
was unusually heavy in all sections
OF the Valley. Good weather predom-
mated during the hGying aeason and
most of the hay was put up in excell-
ent condition. A record second cutting
is predicted. Most of the hay mills
arc row IL operation. They IRE paying
$3.50 per ton for hay delivered to
the mill.
The weather has been unu.ually
hot ard dry this month. The cows
in most of the herds are nearing the
latter part of their lactation period.
These facts with the dry lot feeding
and lack of pastures are responsible
for considerable drop in the milk
production. The receits of the Hell
vetia Milk Condensing Company have
dropped from 300 pounds to 5000
pounds within the last three weeks.
This drop is due to the causes named
above.
During the hot weather there is
some trouble in getting the milk to
market in fresh and sweet condition.
The main essentials in keeping milk
in good condition during hot weather
are clean production and proper cool
ing. The dairy barn should be kept
clean and as free from dust and flies
as possible. Accumulated manure and
roughages, especially if in a damp
condition, soon undergo putrifactive
changes and give off odors which may
easily taint the milk. Keep cows
udders clean and milk with dry hands.
Have plenty of sunlight and ventila-
ton for the barn and milk house.
Have the milk utensils thoroughly
washed steamed and summed. Remove
tie milk from the stable as soon as
it is drawn from the cow, cool to SIS
degrees or lower and hold at that
temperature until delivered. II the
milk is drawn clean and is properly
cooled there will be no trouble with
its souring or becoming tainted before
reaching market.
