WAR-TIME PftOH IBiTiOK
f i ? f,1' * :
Wilson tc Kill Wat l>ry- Act, is Con
viction Here
Confidence that'^esfde^.t Wilson'
?jvill proclaim fkmr^biliziaton before
July 1, thereby preventing war
time prohibition from going into
?effect on that'date, new amounts to
a. conviction.
This confidence rests upon the
'belief that the President will not
submit liquor dealers to the exten
sive ini'jry which would bo brought
about by compulsory suspension of
the liquor business until d2mobiliza
tion is declared.
Tt was pointed out by various
government officials as well as by
members cf Congress that the pro
hibition act is a war-time measure
only, and that should it go into ef
fect July 1 it would end automati
cally the moment demobilization is
declared. This' would leave liquor
men free to reopen their establish
ments and to sell liquor until Jan
uary 16, 1920. when the constitu
tional amendment providing for
prohibition, takes effect.
This ccmftnittee also sanctioned
'the possession of liquor after July
1, provided it is obtained before
that date. This means that those
fortunate persons who have been
laying in a supply of wet goods in
anticipation of the long drought
may continue to stock up without
fear of Federal interference.
TO PREACH FROM DIRIGIBLES
B*shop Plans to Use Novel Pulpit at
Methodist Centenary
Columbus, Ohio, June 25.?Pond
ing sanction from the War Depart
ment, plans are being made ,by the
officials of the Methodist Centenary
for the delivering of a sermon by
one of the bishops of the church
from the decks of a huge dirigible,
the A-4, which will arrve here to
morrow from Akron. If plans ma
terialize a bishop will ascend with
the fcur army officers who are in
charge of the balloon and will de- j
liver h'is sermon through a large J
megaphone.
It is expected that the dirigible
will remain here for about five
hours, during which time the cen
tenlary crowds will be entertained
with various "stunts.' A sham
battle in which the ''Archies," anti
aircraft gun, will take active parts,
will be a feature of the program.

CYCLOPS MESSAGE RECEIVED.
Mother of One cf Crew of Lost Col
lier Gets Word
Columbia. S. C.. June 25.?Another
of the many clues to the lost collier
Cyclops, all of which so far have
teen exploded, turned up here yes
terday when the mother of Otis
Ramsey, a seaman on the ship, re
ceived a telegram from New York
saying he was "safe in this coun
try again" and that the missing
vessel was in a Genman port.
The navy records show that Otis
Ramsey, of Columbia, was a sea
man on the Cyclops and he is liste:!
as "lost as sea" with the ship. The
navy, however, knows of nothing
that would clear up the mystery.
?Officials think the message prob
ably a hoax, but as they expect to
solve the mystery some day they
are carefully looking up every clue.

In lln-e with our progressive banking methods, and to meet the de
mands of our patron?, we are installing on July 1st. an up-to-date Safe

This has been made necessary from the fact that a large number
of our depositors owning Liberty Bonds and other securities desire a
safe pjaee fcr their keeping.
It is our plan to enlarge the number, of Safe Deposit Boxes, and
make a rental charge to meet the operating expenses of this Depart
ment. This charge will become effective July 1st, 1911), and a bill will
be sent out at that time tn the holders of boxes, and if any desire
to make any change we will be glad to have thorn call before the
bills are rendered for the ensuing year.
