A number of Federal and county
officials were in Oakley Wednesday
looking for moonshine likker. so
far as we can learn, they didn't find
any, not single drop, although
number of places were searched.
This can be used as an argument for
several different points, depending
on the point of view. For instance,
it may be used as evidence that we
Orleans are too moral to take A
drink, since If there were a supply
of likker in the village the officers
ought to be able to find a drop, at
the very least. Again, it may be
used as evidence that all of us are
drunkards and such confounded
ded drunkards that we drank I'D
every drop of likker in the village
Tuesday night. so there was none
here Wednesday when the officers
arrived.

 NPARIS AFTER
 AMERICAN TRIP
Police Have Hands Full With Crowds Who Go
 to Nancy Druggist
FORMERLY LITTLE KNOWN
Still Modest, He Hires Lecture Hall and Flees
 After Making Talk

| PARIS, March 22 - Five blue coats" were necessary to turn people away from Monsieur Coue's first lec- ture in France after his return from America
 ''But see, I have a ticket argued many weak looking creature waving little blue tickets before the gen. darmes.
 | "Pas bon, pas bon Mesdames. That's only an invitation; you must have a reserved seat" And that was all there was to it. No one had the idea there would be such great crowd, not even the little French druggist himself, for he took the trouble to seek out one of the smallest lecture halls in Paris He didn't wish to speak to empty benches and he didn't An hour before the lecture was to begin every seat was taken and not a free inch of standing room.
 Before he left for his tour in the New World few Frenchmen had ever heard of Coue. The newspapers still give him little space and his light is still under a bushel. He says that while in America he received patients from all over the country.
 Several testimonials were read coming from Americans who were treated during his recent journey The most convincing one was from young man who was able to take but few steps at time and who was constantly under the care of a doctor At the time of writing the letter to Coue he had just passed the physical examination for the U. s. Army and stated that he was able to do four or five miles of walking each day.
 The little druggist commanded ab- solute silence while addressing his audience and during the evening gave demonstrations on several persons.
 Monsieur Coue's head has not been turned by the great receptions and enthusiasm accorded him. He is still the simple little man from Nan cy, and after the lecture made for a side door, endeavoring to escape the crowd which followed upon his heels determined to tell him of their ills.
 Every day in every way you are getting better and better" the little man called after them and the crowd went away believing it. Imagination is the ticket.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 22.- Five hundred passengers from the liner Homeric, on two months cruise of the Mediterranean, stopping in Constantinople for two days helped to swell the American colony and brought together the largest number of Americans in the Near East since pre-war days.

 For some unknown reason George town, Illinois, has been neglected by the makers of maps of the country and cannot be found. When towns only half it's size are always found, and Georgetown goes neglected-to all appearances unknown and unheard of--the residents of that town are far from pleased. And they have placed upon the shoulders of Representative Holaday the responsibility of getting Georgetown on the map" The discovery was made when one | proud resident of Georgetown-Hola | days nome town"-was discussing the new Congressman at a Chicago club.
 He's from my home town" the ! booster declared.
 | And where's Georgetown?" he was l asked.
 A map was produced but nowhere could Georgetown be found.

thing about VOLCANOES, haven't the
faintest idea how they are run. nor
never went a terrible lot out of my
way to give one the up and down, 80
am in no position to argue on the
feasibility OF the Indians plan. but
do think that with all the wonder
full accomplishments bein' put over
by far-seein' Americans today that
the bureau of national parks ought
to give the inventor all the time he
wants to detail his idea.
Give Him "a Chance!
