PENALTIES OF RADICALISM
Since the European War began
204 ships were transferred to the
American flag and 402 American
ships were transferred to foreign
flags, or registration.
The American gains were
from Germany and England,
mostly temporary transfers, while
the 405 ships we have lost gone
permanently to Norway, Japan
and France.
If there was ever a time when
we needed American ships under
the American flag that time is
now, hut the too-radical Seamans
act of Congress drove them out,
A great nation is practically
without adequate representation
on the seven seas to carry its own
mails or diplomats, because it al
lowed a few radical labor leaders
to dictate its shipping legislation.
Birthday Party
Little Miss Hilda Trask,daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Trask,
reached her eighth birthday on
Monday, and in honor of the oc
casion an even dozen of little
girls, mostly members of her
class at school, were invited to
her home for the afternoon.
Games were plaved, irefresh-
monts served and a very enjoy
able time was had by all.
"The Ne’er-Do-Well, "present
ed on the screen at the Star
theatre Saturday night, was wit
nessed by a large audience, all
of whom were well pleased with
the production. M; niger Taylor
is giving tho public some excel
lent pictures, and that his efforts
in this direction are appreciated
nr. be seen by the increasing
attendance. "Shoes," presented
Sunday night, is well spoken of
by those present.
