congress don’t dare to pass. And the railroads got theirs without any bother at all. The regular meeting of the Jefferson club on Friday of this week should be well attended. There will be several local speakers and an interesting talk by lion. F. A. Holser of New Castle, a candidate for secretary of state and one of the leading democrats of the middle west. He will have interesting data to give you and the meeting will be an important one. Be sure to attend. Candidates for county and township offices should remember that unless their declarations of candidacy is filed before April 2nd for judicial and legislative offices, must file with the county clerk while they file with the secretory of state. In this county only six candidates have filed for county offices and eight for township places, though it is known that several others are ex- > pected to enter.

article of furniture you want to dispose of them. Surely there is someing to replace with a new one. A small notice in these columns at a cost of but a few cents will in most every instance find the party who has for sometime been wanting just the very thing you are now wanting to dispose of. Your market is right here at home, if you only knew it, and your only way of finding out is by telling your neighbors —several hundred of them — just what you hare for sale. It is worth trying, at least, and if several articles are advertised and you sell but one it will more than pay you for the modest qost of the ad. — • BEWARE OF HEAVY LOADS Indianapolis, March 8. —Mild temperature and the resulting softening of dirt roads, together witli the hauling of heavy loads over the thoroughfares lias caused great damage in many parts of the state, according to information reaching the state highway department from many parts of Indiana. The department, therefore, with spring near at hand, is calling attention to the law governing the use of highways and which provides for a tine of not less than $5 and not more than SSO in case of conviction is brought about. Section 2313 of Burns Revised Statutes of Indiana, 1913, provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person to haul heavy loads or weights, particularly specified, over any turnpike macadam or gravel road at any time when the road is thawing or when the road because of wet weather is in condition to be cut up and damaged by heavy hauling on vehicles with tires of stated widths, and any person violating any provision of this section shall on connection be fined not less than $5, not more than SSO for each load so hauled.” In addition to the right of any person to satr prosecution by affidavit as in other cases the statute further provides that any road superintendent shall have police power to arrest on sight any person who is seen violating the law. Provision for a $2 fee for each arrest, if successfully prosecuted, for the officer making the arrest, is made in the Statute. 0 PRAYER MEETING THIS EVENING The prayer meeting at the Presbyterian church will be led by Chas. Teeple this evening. Everyone is urged to attend.

ON THE WATER WAGON By CLARENCE DUBOSE (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Tokio—(By Mail to the United , Press).—The Acting Emperor of Japan Is on the water wagon. Some of the other primes of the blood, and members of the Imperial Court are following the ab aemious example of Crown Prince Regent Hirohito. Some of the Tokio pajiers are predicting that this new fashion is the forerunner of prohibition at the In’" perial Court. The "Chuo." one of the dailies here, recently made this statement: “The Price Regent has not touched alcoholic drink since his recent European tour. He merely lilts his g'a> - to his lips nt toasts. Prince Kan in, following his example, has not touched alcohol since last spring.” The paper draws the conclusion that the "formal adoption of prohibition at the Court would seem to be only a matter of time.” However, the sake hounds don t seem to be worried and sonic of the breweries are building extensions. o— EVANGELICAL PRAYER MEETING The pastor and leader would be pleased to see a large number present at the prayer meeting this evening.
