FALL MILLINERY

We may say frankly that in
the TWO seasons we have handled
millinery we have not been sat
isfied with our lines. This fall
we decided to either make con-
nections that would assure
splendid department, or discon-
tinue millinery entirely. We
were successful in our connec-
tons. even beyond our hopes.
You will find at our store the
same popular-priced lines of hats
featured by the leading millinery
establishments in Spokane and
Portland. Some Of the early fall
styles will be on display Satur-
day.

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL
"The first attempt to abolish the

Judge Charles 0. Busick in Sacra.

functioning of the l. w. W. in
this state.
The National Defense committee
is the legal organization OF the In
dustrial Workers of the World
which handles the defense of mem.
bers of the so-called radical or
ganizat.cI in courts of law.
"The injunction, will allow pol
ice and judges to take summary
action against members of the or
ganization and Jail them without
jury trial and marks the beginning
of the end of the chiminal syndical-
'ism law in California, Conners
said.
Conners declared that The state
and county authorities care discov-
ering that jurors of today cannot
be frightened into ordering convic-
tions by wild talk of ned menace
and bolshevism; cannot be led
into false conclusions through the
testimony of paid witnesses.
Conners predicted that he would
be served with the injunction to
day. but that does not mean
that our committee offices will be
closed. y The Defense Committee
secretary said he foresaw wholesale
jailing of l. w. w. leaders with
out jury trial but that the people

Grail on an application for a tenn

The suit, which was brought by
Alfred Cohn, head of the general

DOPE SMUGGLING

Dr. Heber Votaw, federal superintendent of
prisons tells narrowing stories of the devices resorted
to by inmates of the Atlanta penitentary to obtain
narcotic drugs.
The drugs usually smuggled in by friends and
relatives Often handkerchefs are saturated with
cane or morphine. The prisoners virtually eat the
hankerchefs or soak them in water then the liquid
hypodermically. Wives pass to prisoners small bot
ties packages of drugs in kissing them goodby
Dope is secreted in the clothing of babies brought to
see their fathers Drug addcts do their best to bring
their favorite drug in with them, when they arrive,
concealed in the soles of their shoes in their mouths
Cocaine is often found in small quantities under the
folds of envelopes in letters sent to prisoners
All this is not additional evidence of criminaty.
1t is merely evidence of the lengths to which drug
addict, reputable disreputable will go, when
sary in order to renew his supply of dope and stop,
for little WHILE his ntolerabe craving. AS restrict
i've law enforcement tightens up thousands of men,
women boys and girls outside of the prisons are drv.
to all sorts of expedens to escape the torture of
deprivation They supplied usually by the bootleg
traffic in narcotic drugs and they keep it alive
This is traffic more perncious than the bootleg
liquor traffic though less is said about it. And it will
continue authorities say until two things done by
cooperation of federal, state and municipal govern
mens-until present victims treated to free them
from the physical craving for drugs and the supply is
shut off so they will not be tempted again.

any portion of Ireland's territory
be so disposed Of. All government
al authority in Ireland comes ex.
clusively from the people; any pre-
tended treaty or contract that con
travenes these principles will be
null and void.
"Parallel with this assertion will
be denial of the right Of any
foreign authority to rule in Ireland,
and refusal to reeognize or cooper
ate with that authority or it's
agents.
"On the economic side Sim Fein
will inaugurate Il policy of reform.
"The full strength of the repub-
licans will not appear i'll the coming
clections,' De Valera's statement
continues. "The most active work
crs are either prisoners or prevented
from organizing or putting their
views before the electorate. They
are hampered by every device
which the control of the entire
press and executive machinery en-
ables their opponents to adopt.
"But these conditions cannot
last. A state founded as the Free
State was founded, is doomed. This
new union with Englandwill be as
ill-starred as its predecessor Of
1S00.'
Republican at Heart
De Valera maintained that ma
jority of the Irish people are re-
publican at heart, but are intimi-
dated by the cry that maintenance
of the. republic meant war of eX-
termination by England. But the
republicans are not dishcartcned by
their mild defeat, the rebel leader
declared.
81 know the republican aspira-
tions are traditional aspirations, y
he continued. "The nation has out
lasted seven centuries of tyranny
and is certain to ultimately triumph.
The republicans are convinced that
the independence for which they
have been striving will again soon
become the objective of reunited
people.
"ETo friends of the republicans |
can only say that we upon whom re-
sponsibility has rested have endeav-
ored to discharge faithfully our OBJ
legations. The funds so generously
subscribed in the United States
have been applied strictly to the
purposes for which they were sub
scribd.
"In fighting for the freedom of
ireland we realized that we were
fighting for the freedom of all sub
iect nations. We feel that our de-
feat was setback for all these
causes, but we are prepared now
as in the past to strive with all
the strength God may give, us to
make these causes prevail. Presi-

"Because if you do not make a

Wiggily, Wolves, Foxes, Ferrets,
Weasels and other bad animals can
easily crawl in to get your little
rabbits when you grow up and raise

baby rabbits safe from the Weasels,
there will be a dreadful time. Dig

you will have to keep on working,

stop digging now, Sammie! Dig

Sanmie. "The stone is i'll the

TOO MUCH WHEAT

Not long ago the world was hungry for wheat
and eagerly absorbed all that America had to offer
Those were golden days for our wheat-growers. Now
there is sad slump. 1t is good regards the well
fare of the world in general, because it means more
plentiful production and less hunger everywhere but
it is hard on the American farmer
There is a hold-over of 100000 bushels of last
years wheat in this country The crop is est-
mated at 100000 bushels making round billion
available when the harvest is ended That a
surplus of 400O000O0 bushels of which other nations
will hardly take much one-half. So wheat,
bringing little than dollar bushel will
tnue to be drug on the market
A situation like this naturally remedies itself
eventually. Farmers after losing any crop for two
three years. plants less of it and sometimes Nature
steps in with bad weather blight and brings up
prices by cutting down production. But it does seem
mental authority in this country more might be done
in organized way to adjust acreage and production
to the demand, year by year. instead of leaving such
adjustments to chance and the judgment of individual
farmers.

SUMNER BOARDERS
(By Roland T. Patten)

A short time since | stood In the
Office of the Barber Advertising Agen-
cy in Boston and was Obliged to wait
for my interview while Mr.. Harold F.
Barber answered something like a
dozen telephone calls occasioned by
an ad which he had put in the Bos-
ton Transcript of the previous even
ing. He had offered a cottage some
where up the Merrimac River for sale.
He had the same reply to make to
every inquiry and in it he invariably
said: Its very secluded spot;
really just as good as cottage up
in Maine" When things quieted
down little l asked him: why
do you say Maine every timer" His
reply was to the effect that Maine
was associated in everybody's mind
with summer camps, fishing, hunting
and the general vacation idea; that
in this respect it held the lead over
any other area known to vacation
seeking people. We residents of
Maine do not fully realize the value
of this thought. 1t is in part under
stood for we cannot be obliviOus to
the hosts of summer people that
throng among us every year. OF the
extent of this business, however, and
it's possibilities we really have little
conception.
We should be ingenious to make use
of this vacation idea to its fullest ex-
tent. These people are looking for
neat and attractive housing conditions,
good table, attractive scenery, and
in some cases for good hunting and
fishing 1t should be the ambition
of every Mantle to see that they real
ize their expectations. WaSside stores
on popular automobile routes for the
sale of light refreshments are often
very profitable. Location has a great
deal to do with this. One should
not embark in the business without
first giving it careful study.
There are many farm homes splen-
didly calculated to take few sum-
mer boarders. We can aid those
who contemplate doing so if they will
write us description of their home,
the surroundings. the number they
can accommodate and the price of
board.
Very little comment need be made
on our sporting camps and summer
hotels. The proprietors of these es-
Establishments are proverbial live wires
ara attend -tu their part or the pro-
grain very nicely.
1t is not too early to commence to
make plans to welcome the hosts
that will commence to invade Maine
the latter part of June.

Tomorrow VIII BE Bird Day

Friday, April - will be observed as
Bird Day in Maine according to a
proclamation issued Wednesday by
Governor Baxter. The proclamation
says:
For more than four months the
State of Maine has been buried I'M
der mantle of ice and snow The
North Wind has frozen our lakes and
streams and even the salt water bays
and rivers along the seacoast have
been stiffened by its blast. The win
ter has been severe both for man and
beast.
What of the birds? These that
have remained with us have suffered
and died in great numbers, but the
survivors join with their human
friends in hailing the advent of
spring.
The first mild days will bring back
to us the migratory birds. whose an
nual visit has been delayed, and the
State once again will be happier and
more cheerful on account of their re-
turn.
Never was there spring when our
feathered friends were more welcome.
Throughout the remainder OF the
year let us care for them, protect, en-
Joy and study them with renewed in
terest.
Life is sweeter because of the
birds Like human beings they suffer
and die. often are hungry and cold.
but unlike them their spirits seem
never to droop. Frail little creatures
though they be, they ever are cheer
full. hopeful and brave. In these re-
spects they set bright example to
their human companions.
NOW THEREFORE,. l. Percival p.
Baxter, Governor of the State Of
Maine do hereby proclaim
Friday, April -, 1923. third annual
bird day in the State of Maine, and
| urge all our citizens. young and old.
to give it proper observance.
