WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1916.
Republican Committee Meets Monday
Chairman M. J. McMillin of the
republican county central committee
ha* called a meeting of the commit
tee for next Monday morning, April
3, 1916, at ten o’clock, to fix the
date and make the necessary ar
rangements for holding the county
primaries and convention to elect
delegates to the state convention
which elects delegates to the national
convention.
New Presidential Club
President Wilson has not establish
ed uny Ananias club, but his “In Bad”
club of prominent democrats is one
of the most rapidly growing organi
zations of the national capital.
Those Foreign Names
We see by an exchange that the
name of the German raider, “Moewc”
means sea-gull. Shucks! We thought
it was some kind of a new-fangled cat
call. Anyway it has nine lives and
keeps coming back.
A Ripe Old Age
Last week the last pensioner of the
war of 1812 died, nnd the books are
closed on that war. When we con
sider that one hundred and one years
have elapsed since the close of that
war it hardly looks like the race is
growing shorter lived as some people
claim.
Wall Street Suckers
All the hicks are not in the vil
lages and on the farms by a good
many millions. Those Wall Street
guys gave up over a hundred thous
and dollars to see a pair of four
flushers like Willard and Moran fight
for a championship would be easy
picking for a gold brick man.
China’s Bob Speer
President Yuan of the Chinese re
public some weeks ago announced that
thereafter China would be an empire
with himself as emperor. After a
month or so of that the people be
came restless again, and so last week
he announced that they would return
to a republic with himself as presi
dent. Yuan is boss, but is willing to
please the people so far as title is
concerned.
And This is Diplomacy
Those who thought the resumption
of Germany’s submarine campaign
would force President Wilson’s hand
misjudged his ability to dodge. He
merely sent Germany a very polite
note—gilt-edged and perfumed—ask
ing if it was a German submarine
that sank the vessels. Of course he
will receive polite assurances that it
was not—and the controversy will be
at an end. Next!
How They Love It
The democratic leaders in the sen
ate are showing their love for the
sugar beet industry by trying to at
tach an excise tax of one cent a
pound to the bill restoring the tariff
on it. This would be collected from
every pound of sugar manufactured in
the country, and would efectually put
a finish to the industry. Only the
fact that they need the tariff money
and the republican minority will tie
up the whole proposition if they try
the new scheme, prevents them from
passing the excise tax.
Accidently Killed
Robert G. Cotton, deputy sheriff at
Springfield, while entering the door of
his home on Wednesday evening of
last week, knocked his revolver out
of his pocket on the floor and it was
discharged. The bullet struck him
in the leg and ranged upward through
the bowels and lodged in the back.
He was rushed to the Lamar hospital
and the bullet removed in hopes of
saving his life, but he sank rapidly
and died on Thursday afternoon. The
body was taken to Springfield for
burial. The deceased was well known
throughout this section and had a
host of friends whose deepest sym
pathy is with the widow and family
in their sad affliction.

BIGGEST CATCH OF SEASON
Manager Pratt of the L. M. Appel
Flah Co. Makes Big Haul on
Tuesday
Manager E. T. Pratt of the L. M.
Appel Fish Co., which holds the ex
clusive fishing contract at the big
reservoirs north of town, informed us
on Tuesday that they had just made
a haul of fifteen tons of fish in the
nets out at the big lakes, which is
the record up to the present time. Mr.
Pratt took charge of the company’s
business last summer, and as he has
had experience in the fishing and
marketing business all over the coun
try he has been able to put it on a
practical basis and handle the fish in
away to make them popular on the i
market. As a result the business has
been growing right along ever since.
They are now provided with ample
facilities to catch and market the fish
either fresh or salt as the trade de
sires, and the market has grown with
their facilities. Mr. Frank B. Glimpse,
industrial ugent of the Wells-Fargo
Express Co., is assisting Mr. Pratt
in securing a market for his product,
and the business promises to develop
into large proportions. Mr. Pratt in
forms us that the supply of fish in
the reservoirs is so inexhaustible that
the present shipments are not even
sufficient to keep pace with the in
crease of the product and his mancet
will have to increase many fold before
any impression is made on the supply.
Two Alfalfa Milk
The last station to get an alfalfa
meal mill will be the first one to get
two, and very appropriately it is
named Millwood and is situated be
tween Hartman and Holly, both of
which have-mills. Both the D. A. M.
& P. Co., and the Warwick Alfalfa
Milling Co., have broken ground at
Millwood for the foundation of new
mills. Both companies are amply
able to construct and operate the
plants.
More School Troubles
Another school dispute in which
almost a whole community is engag
ed was tried in Lamar on Tuesday af
ternoon of this week before Miss Mary
Lake, county superintendent of
schools. It was with regard to the
special election called at Bristol to
vote bonds to construct a new high
school, and a large portion of •Ae
