NO GASOLINE; NO REPAIRING.

Following the intent of the request from the Fuel Administration that there shall be no automobiling on Sundays with a few special exceptions, the Delphi garages are going to contribute their aid by refusing to sell a gallon of gasoline on Sundays as long as the order exists. The garages will also dose the repair departments and should the auioist get caught out in the country with a breakdown, he will have to do his own repairing. The best thing for him to do is to keep his car in toe garage as the order requests. The order is effective beginning tomorrow and the public should assist in the gasoline conservation. Save it for the army trucks, tanks, aeroplanes and other war needs.

“LEFTY” ASSUMES HIS NEW DUTIES AT CAMP TAYLOR

Canip Taylor, Ky., Aug. 29. Dear Folks:— t Well, here I am pounding a typewriter in an office—seems natural, but it’s a devil of a way to soldier. Arrived in camp on time Monday -morning and was told to pack up my belongings and go to the other side of the camp at once, which I did without further argument You don’t argue in the army, you know, but I sure did hate to lift that load on my back and start out. Besides, it was' raining, and I don’t care for another day like it soon. Was placed in the office immediately on reporting to my new commander. Conditions are pleasant here and I have already learned that one-third of the non-coms are granted a thirtysix hour leave each week, so you see that if. I so desire I can come home once every three weeks. Haven’t much time to write this evening but will try and do so tomorrow night. Think I can write more and oftener now. There are plenty of things to write about in a place like this, so will see if I can’t knock out a few columns for the paper also before the week is over. HOWARD B. CLARK. My address is: 7th Co., Dev. Bn. No. 2, Camp Taylor, Ky.

A statement made public in relation to the suggested advance in rates said: “Hair cutting has always been done at too cheap a price and most of our people feel that this' is one branch bf the work that should be paid for at a decent, respectable rate.”

MRS. J. H. HONAN PASSES AWAY

WIDOW OF WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN DIED TODAY AT _ LOGANSPORT. E. P. Honan this morning received the news of the death of Mrs. J. H. Honan at Longcliff, at Logansport.

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. M. E. SPITLER

Another one of the oldest members of the Ladies Literary club has been called to her reward, and in the passing of Mrs. Spitler our club has lost one who has mingled with it for more than thirty-nine years. She was one of the faithful few that helped nourish' and keep life in it, and her interest in its welfare was always manifested. In her declining years she, by her own request, was placed upon our associate list and held her membership with us anti! she was called up higher. In a conversation with her several years ago she spoke to me of her declining years and said she was not able any longer to do the work, and she expressed regret that she had to close her work with us. In her conversation with me she left the impression that her life work was nearing completion, and in some way during our talk I asked her if she would like to live her life all over again, and she said, “Oh, no, I wouldn’t if I could. I am looking forward to brighter and better things.” And I thought what a beautiful sentiment she had expressed for one who had gone through a long life of experiences and knew what life really meant, and she was ready to lay down her life for something better.

Mrs: Spitler was of a most kindly disposition—always cheerful, and her hbspitality in her home was unbounded. In my girlhood days it was my privilege to frequently be at her home, and it was her delight to make young people happy, and those little kindnesses are never forgotten by those who appreciate being well entertained. She was a charming hostess and many pleasant memories linger with us. She was a devoted mother, a true wife, and a loyal friend endowed with a true Christian spirit. Our community has lost an old resident who never lost interest in its welfare, and had lived to see it grow from a little burg to that of a beautiful little city, and she was proud of all our improvements. Mrs. Spitler has passed on and out, and what is our loss is her gain. “I cannot say, I will not say, That she is dead; she is just away. With.,a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. Think of her still as the same, I say, She is not dead; she is just away.” —M. W. M.

JUDGE LANDIS IMPOSES 20 YEARS AND $20,000 FINE ON I. W. W. LEADERS.

Chicago, Aug. 30.—William D. Haywood, “Uncrowned king” of the Industrial Workers of the World, and fourteen of his chief aids in the conspiracy to overturn the American war program, were sentenced to twenty years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, by Federal Judge K. M. Landis here late today. Those sentenced with Haywood to twenty years in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $20,000, are: Carl Ahiteen, Minneapolis; George Andreytohine, Chicago; Forrest Edwards, Minneapolis; Ralph Chaplin, Chicago; Leo Laukki, Duluth; Aurelio V. Azuara, Los Angeles; C. L? Lambert, Minneapolis; Vladimir Losseiff, Chicago; Walter T. Neff, Philadelphia; Charles Rothfisher, Chicago;. James Rowan, Spokane, Wash.; Sam Scarlett, Akron, O.; Manuel Rey, Buffalo, N. Y.; Richard Brazier, Spokane, Wash. The following were sentenced to five years in prison and fined $5,000 on each of four counts: William Moran, Spokane, Wash.; H. F. Kane, Globe, Ariz.; John Avilla, Patterson, N. J.; Daye Ingar, Youngstown, O.; William Weys, Oakland, Cal.; Pierce C. Wetter, Great Fall's, Mont.; Joseph Oates, Globe, Ariz. Ten year sentences were imposed upon thirty-three of the organization’s leaders, five year sentences on thirty-three, one year and a day on twelve defendents and ten day sentences on .two others. Cases against Benjamin Schraeger, Chicago writer, and Pietro Nigra, Spring Valley, 81., were continued. All sentences on the four counts in the indictment will run concurrently. Fines ranging from $20,000 on Haywood and his chief aids down to $5,000 were imposed. Ninety days is granted in which to file a. bill of exceptions and a stay of seven days' in which to petition for bail. “It is the closing chapter in America’s biggest criminal case,” said Frank K. Nebeker, chief prosecutor. “We are confidents new trial will be granted,” (said George F. Vanderveer, chief counsel for the defense. Before pronouncing sentence on the defendants, Judge Landis reviewed at some length the salient points in the government case, laying especial stress on the I. W. W. preamble declaring eternal war-on the employing class, and denouncing war with other nations; the meeting of the executive board, after America had entered the war, at which it was decided to expel members entering military service and later the concerted plan by strikes and rebellion to block the war measures. “In times of peace, you have a legal right to oppose, by free speech, preparations for war. But when war has been declared that right ceases forthwith,” was the court’s closing remark.

TWO NEW GREENBACKS NOW IN CIRCULATION

Washington, Aug. 29. —Two new greenbacks, the first of the pations war-time currency, are in circulation. They are the $1 and $2 federal reserve bank notes, planned especially to replace the silver certificates withdrawn from circulation as the treasury’s silver reserve is melted into bullion for export to the allies. The $1 note bears a portrait of George Washington in the upper left hand corner of the face side, and otherwise resembles generally a federal reserve note. On the reverse side is shown in the center oval an eagle in full flight, typifying the nation mobilized for war. The $2 note is similar, except that it bears a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the front and a picture of a battleship on the back.

SEES FRANCE FREED OF FOE THIS WINTER

Washington, Aug. 31.—The highest hopes of the war have been raised here in the last few days by the continued successes of the French and British armies. Some allied officers believe France will have seen the last of the enemy fey winter. They do not look for peace soon, even _ within a year, but they look for vcitories on a scale that will forever establish the superiority of the allied arms over the enemy and make the end that much nearer. From a strategical standpoint, the activities of Gen. Byng to the north are of the utmost importance. He has his eyes on Douai and Cambrai; he already has destroyed the myth of the Hindenburg line, and although his progress is slow it is steady. Douai and Cambrai are admitted to be the kejrs to the deliverance of France, and their fall, it is said, would mean general and precipitate retirement all along the-line by the Germans. The old-fashioned youth who used to wear his >lO Hand-Me-Downs when he went to a Hoe Down now has a son who has to have a SIOO set of Monkey Clothea so he can attend Dansants.

HOOSIER COMMENT

Mt. Veter, if you do not register you can not vote. The right to vote carries with it the duty to vote. Register. “Bring the line up to the flag” is a good enough battle cry for 1918. It means bring these airplanes up to the flag, it means bring these machine guns and those big guns up to the flag, and it means bring those ships into service so the line can move forward to early victory. Experience has shown that Congress'has a useful part in forcing supplies and equipment forward with the flag. Republicans in Congress have proved constructive as well as consistently loyal. The people are ready to entrust the conduct of the war to Republicans in Congress, knowing full well that those Republicans will hasten victory in every possible way in cooperation with the War-Administra-tion. The Sullivan Times, Democratic, says, “Politics has been adjourned, in word and fact” Which perhaps accounts for the activities of President Wilson in Wisconsin with his famous “acid test,” in Michigan with his pacifist flivver candidate for Senate, and. in several other localities, invariably scheming for Democratic party advantage or for power through better control of Democratic party machinery. Our men on the west front appreciate those George Creel pictures, but they’d much rather have fighting planes than, plain fakes.

The Rossville Journal quit last week for the lack of patronage. It se<?ms remarkable that in these times of big money going into everybody’s pocket, that the one institution that supplies the people with all the information that the government must circulate should be obliged to suspend its work for lack of patronage. Yet every day a country paper is obliged to shut down for lack of patronage.-—Brook Reporter, f

CONSCIENCE TO BE YOUR GUIDE

IF YOUR NEED TO DRIVE TOMORROW IS GREATER THAN ARMY’S NEEDS, THEN DRIVE. “If you believe your need to use your automobile tomorrow more than the airplanes or motor trucks on the firing line need gasoline, then use it.” The above is the interpretation put upon the request of Dr. Garfield not bo use your automobiles on Sunday, and the patriotism of Jasper county automobile, owners will be measured by the manner in which they observe •the Sunday ban on pleasure use tomorrow and subsequent Sundays. The above interpretation as believed t© h e the keynote of the situation. Persons have asked if they could use their motor cars to go to church on Sunday, some have set forth that they are employed on Sunday and need to use their car to take them to work, and still others are of the opinion that it is essential for them to visit their country farm or estate on Sunday. But to all the answer has been given that if they believe they need gasoline worse than the fighting forces in France, then use it. The request is taken as a prelude to an order, or gasoline rationing, in case the people fail to, observe the spirit of the request. A shortage in the stock of gasoline for export is evident and the request was” made that 'by discontinuing Sunday pleasure driving the shortage could be eliminated in a short time. Physicians are permitted to operate their cars for making professional calls. Fire and police automobile equipment is exempt in the original request, as is repair trucks of street car companies and public service utilities. Tractors and motor trucks employed in actual transportation of of freight, undertakers’ wagons, amfreight, undertakers’ wagons, amrailway equipment using gasoline, motor vehicles on errands of necessity in rural communities where transportation by steam or electricity ds not available do not come under the restrictions and are permissable. Motor boats are in the list of non-es-sentials.
