A new "dry" move to lighten up prohibition en i'.'i forcement and plug up one of the : ; biggest Ictki in the VoUtead act. ', vat launched by Senator Willis. , ' Ohio, rrpublirati, one of the author! ' of the recently enacted anti-beer act Senator Willis introduced a bill de ' igned to check the flow of liquor from government warehouses into ; bootleg channel through lake per . tnits. It provides penitentiary sen ; ' ttnres for persons convicted of coun terfeiting or being in any way con cerned in the illegal use of forms ' lined by the prohibition authorities charged with the enforcement of the j Volstead act. ., Hampert "Dry" Agents, ij, "The ut by violators of the pro I ; liibition laws of counterfeit with " drawal forms and other government forms necessary in the work of the '. ' prohibition unit has retarded the en- forcement of national prohibition more than any other cause," said Senator Willis. "Whatever red liquor has been bootlegged for considerable time past has been released by the dis "y: tributors on counterfeit withdrawals j: or through outright robberies, r "The master minds of the bootleg y.' i Ker rings have been able to employ 'skilled counterfeitera to counterfeit those forms an dthe counterfeits in . many instances have been very good imitations of the genuine permits.

We are in the valley where there is darkness; but looking up we can see the light of Thy glory on the lull-tops above us, and the vision dis pels our fears and fills us with hope and courage. Fill our hearts with a longing for Thee, greater than the longing of those who wait for the morning, and grant us that know ledge of Thyself, through Jesus Christ ourjLord that Thy presence may be constantly real to us. Grant us strength for our tasks, and may we do all of our work as m Thy sight and lor Thy glory.

Make us quick to see every opportunity for service, and faithful to improve it, Cleanse us from all sin, perfect us in all good- ' ness, give us victory in time of temp tation, and make our hves to .be beau tiful with the beauty of God. AH of which mercies and blessings we ask ip the Name and for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. VfJLUAM WIRT KIMQ, St. Louis.

Z. j.- Weather claojly aerywhere: SL&ptrr hard at Oraa4 Waal aad Marion, 0., President's Home City, to Celebrate Centennial Anniversary PhfM SSK5 ZfTr L Pit . nf Wk . ) : Marion, O., July 1. Marion, home town of President Harding, will be 100 years old tomorrow, and in honor of the - event sons and daughters who have wandered far into every state of the union and into foreign lands are back here to help celebrate its centenary. Its most distinguished son was not here for the inauguration of the event, but will be here July 4 to again min gle with home folk for the first time since he entered the White House. Mrs. Harding will accompany the president. The celebration, which begins to morrow, will continue until Wednes day. Great plans have been laid for the entertainment of the president and Mrs. Harding, as well as the thousands of other guests. Marion, accustomed to big crowds since her experience with the fa mous "front porch" campaign of last year, refuses, however, to become excited over the event. Before that time Marion was just a typical "9 o'clock town," but now it is somewhat blace and insists up on 12 courses whether it is presi dential year, centennial year, leap year or any other year. Visitors who hastened to Marion last year, when the town was the center from which President Hard ing conducted his "front porch" campaign, will be agreeably sur prised at the changes brought about in a year. Since it lias been so sig nally honored the town has put everything in "apple-pie" order, and there is not a city in the United States more immaculate than the one that will greet the eyes of the early arrivals for tomorrow's celebration. Of course, the "front porch" of Maupin Would Increase Wealth Class Birth Rate Gering, Neb., July 1. "If the pro visions of the SheppardTow.ner ma ternity bill, enacted into law and adequately enforced, will increase the birth rate among the wealthy leisure classes, as well as decrease the in fant mortality rate, then the bill should, become a law as quickly as possible," said Will H. Maupin, democratic candidate for governor, when asked for a statement of his position. "I approve of the provisions of the Sheppard-Towner bill as far as they go. But my. study of that bill fails to reveal afly provision for increasing the birth rate among a class of re formers who are so busy planning reforms for others to follow that they have neither the time nor the in clination to accept the responsibili ties of motherhood. I suggest to the promoters of the Sheppard-Towner pill that they have the bill properly amended in this respect before it is finally enacted into" law." Girl Playing in Road Near Min'atare Killed by Auto Scottsbluff, Neb., July 1. (Spe cial Telegram.) Millie Heinze, 9, was instantly killed in front of the St. Vitus Dance Conquered by Chiropractic Adjustments To 414-2 Sacanttea Bldf, Car. lttfc aad Faraam Sta. , M7 the Harding residence will be the great attraction for the gathering throngs, although it will not, in all probability, house the president when he returns for the event. When Mr. and Mrs. Harding left for their four-year-stay in Washington the Hard ing home was leased to Millard Hunt, president of the Chamber of Commerce. One pleasing change to the out-of-town visitor will be the new ho tel, long badly needed, which is rap idly nearing completion. This is the Harding hotel, named in honor of the chief executive. The first building erected in Ma rion was a "tavern," when the town plat was laid out in 1822. It was a double log cabin, and in the same year Eber Baker added a one and one-half story hewed log jouse in front, and here the early visitors to Marion' found entertainment for both man and beast. Harding Cornea as Citizen. President Harding will spend his brief visit here as a citizen of Ma rion and not as chief executive of the nation, so far as that is possible, it is officially announced. Arriving here some time Monday or early Tuesday morning, no definite an nouncement has yet been made as to where he will be entertained, al though it is thought likely he will spend the greater part of his time at White Oaks, the beautiful coun try home of Brig. Gen. C. E. Sawyer, in southwest Marion. Practically all of the speeches that will mark the celebration will be delivered at the fair 'grounds, and here a powerful amplifier will make the words spoken by the orators clear to the throngs that are ex home of her father, George Heinze, on a farm two miles north pf Mina tare, when she ran into the road in front of an automobile driven by Henry Honestein. A coroners jury absolved Honestein from any blame for the girls death. Siouxx City Woman Drops Dead Discussing Strike Sioux City, la., July 1. While discussing the threatened railroad strike with her son-in-law, C. C. Scherer, general agent of the Oma ha railway, Mrs. L. C. St. Cyr, 72, suddenly dropped dead last night. Apparently greatly interested in the strike contemplated by railway shopmen, the elderly woman was eagerly questioning her son-in-law as to ngw developments when she suddenly cpllapseq.

With the help of these in struments, it will be p.ossible for at least 100,000 people to hear clearly every word spoken from the ros trum. Opening exercises tomorrow will be held in the Chautauqua pavilion, where President Harding, in 1920, was officially notified of his nomina tion. One of the features of the program will be the singing of a chorus of more than 200 voices. Monday again will be given over to speeches .-tnd song. In the eve ning the principal 'musical event of the celebration will be staged, when a number of former Marionites who have gained national reputations will appear. On July 4 the morning will be given over to children's events, and in the afternoon the celebration of the nation's natal day will be in the hands of the American Legion post. On Wednesday, the last day of the official celebration, a street parade will be staged. The Ohio American Legion convention which opens here that day, will be in line, as well as thousands of other members of Ohio's 5,500 posts.'. President Harding's official part in the celebration, so far as has been aphounced, wili be confined to speak ing a few words of greeting to the "home folks" from the "front porch," which has been loaned for the occa sion. After this, there will be a general handshaking reception. Among other nationally-known guests expected are Gen.- John J. Pershing, Hanford MacNidcr, na tional commander of the American Legion; Gen. Charles G. Dawes and members of President Harding's cabinet. T. B. Parker (Scranton, la.) Farmer Asks for Rain T. B.
