COUNTY PROHi CONFERENCE TO BE HELD HERE Wayne Prohibitionists Will Discuss Coming Fight at Meeting, Feb. 22.

With Indiana's new prohibition law-' going Into effect April 3 and the Federal amendment now up to the state legialatures, Hoosier Prohibitionists claim the best part of their fighting is yet to come. According to State Chairman. J. Raymond Schmidt, there Is a threefold purpose to be carried out: To see that the state-wide law is rtridly enforced; that Indiana is one of tho first states to ratify the Federkl amendment and that our president, congress and senators are constantly reminded of. the need of war prohibition as an aid to winning the war against autocracy. Especially are there tremendous possibilities in the movement for war prohibition. The conservation policy of the government to be successful, say the Prohibitionists, must prohibit the astounding waste of food stuffs, fuel, car space and man power occasioned by the manufacture, traffic in and use of alcoholic beverages. The enlargement of the above program will be the main business of the Wayne county Prohibition conference to be held in the- court house, Friday, February 22 at 10:00 a. m. and 1:00 p. ni. The conference will also select delegates to the Prohibition state convention which meets in the auditorium of the Inulana Pythian building, on April 2 and 3. Another problem of considerable interest to prohibitionists is that of the proposed

merger or the I'robition party wua the National party. A "for and against" refereurlum will be taken among conference attendants to determine the will of party workers In that matter. The afternoon session will be addressed by Statt- Chairman. .1. Raymond Schmidt, of Indianapolis. His will be a brand new view of the prohibition question under the heading: "War's Challenge Our Answer." Last year he addressed 356 audiences and devotPd a month of his time to ihe Ohio lry fight under the direction of the Ohio Dry Federation. Rev. A. A .Worth. Martin P. Davis of Fountain City; Zimri Hanson, Jas. H. Pierce. Jesse Reptogle of Hagerston; Mahlon Lindley, J. E. Eves and .Miss Bertha Hogan of Richmond and Mrs. Sophia B. Huff of Fountain City, president of the County W. C. T. V., are lending their Ura? and energies for the success of the conference. They will be glad to have co-workers and friends avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the conferc nee.

HEATLESS DAYS ARE GALLED OFF

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Unless the return of bad weather brings another breakdown in railroad transportation enforcement of the beatless Mondays program has ended in all sections with the probable exception of New England. Formal suspension of the closing down order was announced yesterday by fuel administrator Garfield with the reservation that it may be pat back in force before the ten weeks period expires March 23, if weather conditions make It necessary. The action of the fuel administration was concurred in later by Director General McAdoo, who issued a statement calling attention to the danger of more transportation difficulties and the necessity of saving coal. The preferential coal distribution list established by the closing order, however, remains in force and Director General McAdoo announced there is still adequate reason for maintaining railroad embargoes on nonessential commodities. Dr. Garfield gives to the state fuel administrations full power to close all establishments they may think necessary. In this connection J. J. Storrow, New England administrator, indicated that it may be enforced there as the coal shortage is still acute.

, WASHINGTON Over and above a score of others, two smashing big scenes stamp "The Auction Block," by Rex Beach, a spectacular motion picture production, at the Washington the last time today. The first of these is the overturning in a Pittsburgh steel mill of a huge crucible of molten metal and the blotting out In a' flash of the life of a workman whose daughter, standing at the door of the pouring room, later becomes one of the chief figures of the story. Director Larry Trimble left nothing undone to provide realism for the mill

MURRETTE Love notes are no novelty to Alma Rubens, who is starred in the Triangle play, "I Love You" at the Murrette theatre tonight, but she recently received one that was quite some different. The letter was postmarked "Yokashima." and Alma was eaten up with curiosity for several days. Then Charles Gunn suggested that Tom Kurihara, Triangle Japanese actor, might shed some light on the mystery. It took the Oriently but a few moments to tell Alma that it was the same old story, only from a different quarter. "Hon. Japanese school boy wants you be picture bride," grinned Kurihara. Alma declined with thanks.

"BETTER ROADS" ARE DISCUSSED BY SUPERVISORS

Co-operation, efficiency and service were keynotes of Superintendent of Roads Jones' talk to the twenty-one assistants assembled at the court house Thursday for the first of the regular semi-annual meetings. Jones emphasized the need for each road supervisor being wide awake and ready to adopt the best and most advanced methods of road supervision in order to give the taxpayers of Wayne county the greatest return for

money invested. At the opening of the afternoon meeting the men presented Jones with a watch, chain, and charm in token of their respect for him and the good roads he has been instrumental in producing. He outlined the new work for the year and said he expected to give Wayne county far better roads. In summary he said that Wayne county had the biggest and best system of workers of any county in the state. Seven short talk3 were made by the assistants. They were as follows: "Drainage, the most vital item of efficient roads," by E. L. Norris of Richmond; "Grading, when, how, and the best plan," J. M. Burt, Fountain City; "Dragging roads," Frank Clark, Centerville; "Condition gravel pits should be kept in," Albert Kramer, Greensfork; "The care and malntainance of macadam and cement roads," Ed Doran, Richmond; "The best results in handling labor," Line Watkins, Williamsburg, and "Care and upkeep of tools and machinery," Alva Study, Fountain City.
