ORGANIZE LEWIS COUNTY BASE
BALL LEAGUE.

On last Monday night at the Legion
club room in this city at meeting of
delegates representing Craigmont,
Kamiah and Nezperce, base ball
league to be called the Lewis county
League was formed. The towns to be
represented in the schedule win be:
Craigmont, Kamiah, Nezperce and
Winchester.
Grangeville and Cottonwood were
represented by Walter McAdams and
Art Rhodes, respectively, and a ten
tative arrangement was made with
them that Idaho county is to endeavor
to organize a four team league and
play like number of games as Lewis
county and at the expiration of the
two seasons, and inter-league series
will be played between the winners of
seats of the two counties to decide he
champions of the prairie.
In the event Idaho county is unable
to organize their league, it was the
sense of the meeting that the Lewis
county league was to consider extend
ing the organization to include
Grangeville and Cottonwood, making
a six team league to be known as The
Prairie League.

US FARM FOLKS

We amt much. us folks on the farms.
When it comes TO BLOWN our horn;
We jcs' go on a-illin' our barn,
A-pilin' in oats an hay an corn.
| reckon they worry n deal about us.
Leastwise it pears to look that
away;
Nearly ever mcetin' is called to
discuss
How we could make the old farm
pay.
The mails is full o. lit'rature,
All the law-b bulgin' with bills /;
Ever political leader has got some
cure
He's putin out TO end our ills.
But seems they forget their anxiety
When the crops is sent into town
They're all too busy gettin' theirs,
you see,
So they can't help our price goin'
down.
It's all right, ! reckon, to fill up the
barns
An go on a-raisin' all the oats and
corn,
But pay amt a-comin' to the men on
the farms
Till they learn how to blow their
horn.

OFFICERS MAKE
LIQUOR RAID
Tazewell Prohibition Agents
Capture Still and Twenty
Gallons of Liquor-One
Arrested on Cove Greek

Tazewell, Va, July 20.-Ohicers
A. NJ. Butter, John S. Thompson and
]. ID. Gillcnwaters and Henry Young
raided- an Illicit distillery on Cove
Greek last week and captured Sher-
man Burton, moonshincr, and de-
stroyed 20 gallons of liquor ready for
the market and 1876 gallons of mash
ready to be run through the still.
Burton was captured on the mountain
road leading TO Graham and was TIA
ken before Squire Newman, where
he gave bond for appearance here ut
court. Another man. said to he one
Brauley, made his escape, but war
rants have been issued for his arrest.
The capture of Burton was acct
dental, The officers, after loading
the still in their automobile, started
across the mountain to Graham, and
met Burton on the mountain. Burton
asked for a ride and was accommo.
dated by the officers, who placed him
under arrest and took him to Graham
for trial.
The officers from Tazewell had an
opportunity to try out their artillery,
the first that has offered for 80 le
time. Thompson and GillenwGters
were together, and as they approach
ed the still house the occupants, one
OF whom had shot gun, grabbed up
a keg of liquor and started for the
mountains. Thompson opened FIRE
on them, and they dropped the liquor
and ran. Thompson's aim was fairly
true as Burton was struck by two
bullets, one scraping the skin of his
left arm and the other passing
through his clothes near vital point.
The men continued to run into the
mountains. The firing attracted the
attention Of Mntter and Young, who
came running to the scene OF battle,
when one Of the men with the shot
gun fired and struck Young on the
arm, inilicting only slight flesh
wound.
This is the first raid in this com
munity in which the fire of the ofIi-
GERS has been returned by the moon
sinners. Under n recent Virginia
statute it is felony to have fire arms
at or near a still.
j. Payne, who recently served
term for selling liquor. was arrested
near liorsepen last week by Officer
y. VI. Mutter on warrant charging
him with storing liquor over five gal
Ions having been found in a static
in this town which Payne is said to
have rented.

AMERICAN SHIPS
PRIME FACTOR IN
ENDING THE WAR
Lasker Tells Need Of a Good

ALBERT d. LASKER. Chairman

Ships, more ships, and again more
ships"
"a bridge of ships to Europe"
Build ships and win the war
These nre familiar cries that will
remain indelible in the minds Of all
living Americans, reminiscent Of one
of our major war programs, and head
ed as one Of the main factors that
contributed to the ending OF the war
in the fall Of 1918.
There can be no doubt that the linz

lies but We ourselves AT the great
strides we made in the expansion OF
our ship-building facilities between
the movement OF our entry into the
war and the summer of 1918.

ment built ships found their way into
commerce until after the conclusion
OF the war; but the knowledge on the
part OF Great Britain and our other
allies that renewals and replacemenst

knew that. while Germany was de
stroying their bottoms in increasing
ratio during the spring and summer
of 1918. by the fail OF that year
American ships in an amending
stream would be ready 10 transport
enrgoes. Thus potentially, the hasti-
ly government built fleet was II prime
factor in the ending OF the war. even
before il was ready for use.
For ten years prior to 1911 our to-
tai annual production Of ships in
American yards averaged 100. 900
dwt. tons, In the period of 1914 to
1917. because OF orders for ships
placed with us by The allies, our aver
age annual output had increased to
100000 dwt. tons.
Output of American Yards
In April of 1917 the shipping board
began its plans for the building Of
the present government owned fleet,
and the increase in American pro
duetion Of tonnage is best shown in
the following table OF the output OF
our yards for the last six months of
1918 and the first six months of
