E. DeHaven of Logansport. a member of the State Grocers' association, made a brief talk. "We have been trying for some time to adopt the 'cash-and-carry' plan in Logansport but we haven't succeeded.

Rye of Tennessee to the protest of the national association for the advancement of colored people against the burning and torturing Febrbuary 12 of Jim Mcllheron a negro, at Estill Springs, was made public here today. He deplored the lynching, but disclaimed responsibility, in the absence of any request for action on his part by local authorities or court offJcers. "I could not anticipate," said the letter, "that, local officers whose duty it is to take custody of prisoners would fail to accord protection nor could any action on my part be taken without being requested by the local authorities or court officers. "I do not seek to shift any responsibility about this or any other case, and your telegram was wholly unnecessary in order to impress me with the gravity of the offense committed against the laws of this state, or to induce me to take &tep3 whereby the perpetrators of the offense could be found and properly punished."

PLAN POLICY OF LABOR FOR WAR WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. A national labor policy, planned for the duration of the war and backed, if necessary, with special legislation, is being considered by the representatives of capital and of labor who continued today the series of conferences, arranged at the request of the government. The conferees will meet daily and probably for several weeks. The opening session yesterday was given over to organization and to Secretary Wilson's outline of the purpores of the conferences. The secretary told his hearers that it is necessary to reach an agreement designed to prevent strikes and to assure a maximum production of materials necessary maintain the American forces in France. Secretary Wilson said that some slrikes would be inevitable regardless of legislation. He suggested that a better method would he to write the terms of the agreement, when made, into all contracts let by the government and make tho terms binding on both sides. Attending the conferences are five representatives of capital, five of labor. The ten men will choose two representatives of the general public. GRAND DUKE SHOT SELF SAYS PAPER AMSTERDAM, Monday, Fob. 25. The grand duke of MecklenburgStrelitz, whose death was announced yesterday in a dispatch from Neu Strelitz, committed suicide, according to the Berlin Lokal Antzeiger. His body was found in a small lake, with a gun shot wound in the breast. Commenting on the grand duke's death, the Lokal Anzeiger says: "Slid experiences about which as ahout everything the grand duke was silent and reserved, affected him perhaps more deeply than his entourage imagined." The grand duke left his castle Saturday for a walk, and as he did not return a search for him was made. ATTEND CONFERENCE Secretary Schwan, Boys' Secretary Orville Brunson, of the Y. M. C. A., E. M. Haas, and 11. R. Robinson attended a conference and committee meetings of employed officers of Indiana In Indianapolis Monday. Secretary Brunson spent Sunday with his parents in Carmel.

Swedish Town Rolls in Wealth Gained Through Smuggling

. TO RENO Russia, December 21 (Correspondence of the Associated Press). The Terneo River is frosen over again and business is good in smugglers' havptt. From far up in the Arctic tundra of Lapland down to Icefilled Torneo Bay, 30 miles south of the circle, sledges drawn by reindeer, dogs and ponies are crunching across the river by night, laden to the runners with tea, coffee, rubber and sugar, all bound for Sweden, where they are worth almost their weight in gold. Their sources aro Russia and Finland, and their immediate destination Haparanda. on tha Bwedish side of the Torneo River, where ex-sailors, hotel waiters and a typical collection of frontier town typos are making money hand over fist and drinking champagne for breakfast. Haparanda Is Swedish, as different from war distracted and revolution-ridden Russia Torneo as if it were hundreds of miles away, instead of being separated only by a ten-minute sleigh ride in winter, and a ten-minute ferry trip in summer, across the mile-wide, salmon-filled river. Harparanda is the Dawson of the near Klondike, and its gold comes from siedges that slip by the Russian frontier guards, full of the commodities Sweden needs. It is nearly Arctic, and now, in the heart of winter, there is daylight only five hours. The town doesn't awaken until 10 in the morning, when the champagne at about $12 a quart begins flowing and bubbles if the coffee room of the hotel until 10:30 at night, when the electric lights are extinguished because Sweden is short of coal. And then it bubbles and fizzes by candlelight in bleak looking wooden houses, wormed by porcelain stoves and made air-tight by sealed-up windows, until some one insists on breaking up the game. Before the war, Haparanda was a tiny village, a frontier customs post. The Russian frontier gendarmes were vigilant and those who slipped through were few and far between, and there was less incentive to smuggle, for Sweden imported freely from across the seas. The war made Torneo the rival of Archangel and Vladivostok as a port of entry into Russia. Haparanda shared the gain. Business buidings of wood and a large hotel that looks like a typical American small town shall sprang up almost over-night. It is still gTowing. The goose that laid the golden egg that buys the wine and keeps the poker games going lives over in Finland, which although short of food itself, permits millions of kroner worth to slip through every month. A year ago a Swedish preacher, on an innocent mission, was shot by a Russian frontier guard. The trouble that resulted led to almost complete laxity at the frontier and now, on any dark night, scores of sleighs slip across the river unmolested and deposit their cargoes on the Swedish side. Some of the goods go through the Swedish customs houses and the duty is paid. Even with the Swedish duty there is tremendous profit on the shipments. Coffee that the Finnish agents secure for 10 kroner a kilo (2.20 pounds) brings 20 across the frontier. Small boys, muffled In great overcoats, waddle across the river on skiis with rubber tires for automobiles wrapped around their waists and rubber is the most difficult of all commercial products to obtain in Sweden. Its export from Russia is forbidden. The smugglers are the richest, but Haparanda's "gay white way" the hotel is filled always with other spenders. There are German agents the German Consul always has a "party" at his table. Haparanda is the spot where invalid prisoners are exchanged, through the agency of Swedish Red Cross workers, and has for months been the only place where Russia was in free contact with Europe. Hence the Germans. Here is a typical picture of any night in Haparanda when business is good on the Torneo. The coffee room is crowded early. A Serbian "kappelmei?.ter" tunes up his violin. A young Austrian with a bass viol and three, smiling German girls, with mandolins, the rest of the orchestra, play American rag-time. Swedish barmaids hurry about with champalgne and other wines just as expensive. A young Swede with a blank-looking face, who has just made 10,000 kroner on a coffee deal, is spending it, buying for every one who will accept such familarity. At the other tables Winchester Glove Factory is Closed by Strikers The Beebe Glove factory here will expand its activities as a result of the closing of the Beebe factory in Winchester. The Winchester plant, which employed 100 workers, was started as a branch of the Richmond factory two years ago. It made cotton gloves with leather palms until a week ago when, on account of being unable to get leather, the plant commenced to make all-cotton gloves. The employes were unable to make the same wages on the new plan and struck for an increase of six cents a dozen. This was refused and the plant was closed. i Alkali Makes Soap Bad for Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months! Simply moisten the hair with water and rub It in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Eesides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv.

Li ines. By NATE EDWARD9 ECONOMY, Ind., Feb. 26. "Peggy," the noted singing hen of Perry townshin, owned and trained by Harold Fenimore, who is now teaching school at Bethel, is certainly a wonder.

Wearing a faded buff gingham dress she struts around with her aristocratio associates with an air of modesty. She has celebrated the twelfth birthday anniversary and has laid 200 eggB a year. Also raised a bunch of chicks each year that totals 160. Is there another such hen In the county? , The play given by the common school pupils Friday night in the M.

Mrs. Stella Hansart, who has been visiting relatives here, returned to her home at Cadiz Monday morning. Oscar Edwards is going to move off his farm in with his mother.

The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an' empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. i A quater pound of limestone phosphote will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that.

There was some hand to hand fighting but the entire enemy party at this point was captured. The raiders chased the enemy out of the other shelters and along communicating trenches without catching any. There was some" criticism of the fact that the Americans were so enthusiastic that they went beyond the objectives. The raiders and prisoners started back across no-man's land on schedule time but were caught in a German counter barrage. One enemy shell wounded five Germans and six Frenchmen but no Americans. The prisoners were from 16 to 40 years old. All apparently were under-nourished, but said that food was plentiful In the trenches. The similarity of their stories, however, aroused suspicions. Most of the prisoners formerly worked in factories or on farms. WILL APPEAL Continued From Page One. of the above- rule to classify each case on its own merits.

istrant was classified according to the

evidence in each particular case. In most of these cases the registrants were called personally before the board and were orally examined and afterwards required to present affidavits embracing the substance of such examination. As a result of these examinations the following registrants were classified by the local board in class four: "Ralph W. Hyde. John W. PurcelL Walter Q. Elstro, Walter Rlggs. Harry Morgan, William E.

"The government appeal agent was directed by the provost marshal general to appeal all these cases to the district board at Fort Wayne and he did so. And now the district board has reversed all these deferred classifications and has classified all the above named registrants in class one. except Elmer John Kellar, classified in two; D. Frederick J. Tieman, clas sified In three; J. and Russell A. Mc Clelland, classified in three; on in dustrial grounds. So far as the dependency of the wife is concerned every one of the fifty-three foregoing registrants was refused deferred classification. It seems evident from this that the affidavits showing the good faith of the marriage were not considered, but that it was determined to disregard marriages made after May 18. Such classification is final unless an appeal be made to the President by the registrant and this appeal can only be made where there is at least one dissenting vote in the district board.

included in class one there was in each Instance a dissenting rote, and these cases may be appealed by the registrants if the appeal is accompanied by a signed statement of one mem

ber of the local board and either the government appeal agent or the adjutant general of the state, certifying that the case is one of great and unusual hardship, stating the cireoinstances of hardship that will follow the induction of the registrant into military service and specifically recommending a reconsideration of the case. These appeals must be taken within five days after the mailing of the notice of classification. "Yesterday afternoon the government appeal agent called up the adjutant general of the state over the telephone to confer with h'm as to this statement, , and the adjutant general declared that he would not make it in any case unless it were requested by the local board and that if it were so requested he thought the government appeal agent ought to act accordingly. In all these cases the local board have determined to request the government appeal agent to make this statement and have the cases appealed. And he accordingly stated the adjutant general that he would do so. "Whether the appeals will be successful, however, is extremely doubtful since the President and the authorities at Washington, in addition to being overwhelmed with a mass of appeals which they are practically unable to consider, may well decide that the mere dependency of a wife or perhaps of an unborn child is not a case of such great and unusual hardship as the rules contemplate."
