Third wnrd, in open council mcetiiij Tuesday evening delivered n flhort, pointed address, in which ho defied them to do their worst. 3HI Inr'fl remarks wero punctuated with resounding thump1; upon the desk be fore, him. AH was Bofene nnd calm ns n painted ship upon a painted ocean until Mayor Kifcrt submitted tho name of Harry G. Stocckmnnn for appointment n,s city engineer. Then Miliar, before tho vole, arose and nilked tho privilege of making n few remarks. "There is little need for mo to say" stated Millar, '"that I intend to vote no on this appointment. In po doing I have several reasons, one of them being that 1 do not intend to submit to any intimidation on the part of Mayor Eifert and his city nttorooy Hoggs. You may persecute me, Mr. riifert, ni much ns you wish, in order tp whip me into line an you told Frank )Jurgcs you 'intended to do, but I am here to tatc that I will vote 'no as long aa I wish to vote 'no in fipito of yon and your city at toraey's efforts in persecuting me." "How have I persecuted you," broke in City Attorney Hoggs. "You know well enough," retorted Millar, "by having the grand jury in vestigate my business." "I did nothing of the kind," came thp answer from Boggs. 'You nro a dirty, conteraptable, criminal liar," shouted Millar. "Ypu're another," rejoined Boggs. "I havo already stated that you wero r liar," remarked Millar as he sat down. A large delegation of racialists who were in the hall applauded Millar ns he sat down. Thea Mayor Eifert asked the clerk to call the roll on the appointment. Mitchell and Porter voted yes, Millar Stewart, Snramerville and Campbell voting no. TJie city dads then serenely trans acted other city business until near the close of tha session. Then City Attorney Boggs addressed tho council saying: "Quite a number of persona haye come to my office with com plaints of ono kind or another and as, there is some question as to my position in regard to them I would like to have tho council tell me whe ther I am tho person to whom these complaints are to bo made. I would liko to know if I have the power to investigate them or not. For nn illustratien: Several persons have complained to me about Mr. Millar's place. Ono of them complained of the boxes, Fovernl othor complaints wero made. I do not want to be per sonnf but am merely citing this ns an illustration nnd I woulij liko the council to instruct, njo how to npt ono vuy or inp. oincr f , Millar replied 1o Hoggs by stating that he was being -personally perse cuted!' and,' renewed charges of false hood. Tho meeting adjourned in the hent of the argument. , Following 'adjournment Councilman Suminerviliu told Boggs that ho had better not call him a liar or ho would hit him. Nothinj enme of thN. Councilman Cumpbell was the next who got in nn argument with Hoggs, drifting from one thing to another until Hoggs mentioned tho enmpnign two years go and accused Campbell of swearing in voters at tho polls to defeat tho prohis. Campbell then failed him a liar nnd offered to bet Hoggs $100 that he could not prove his charges and flashed the money in his face. Hoggs said ho did not have tho $100 and was not as fltibh as Campbell. Councilman Mitchell wound up the fracas by stating that at two differ ent times lust year he tried to hnve Millar arrested but could get no ac tion pn tho mnttor. Millar demanded an investigation but no action wns taken. REBELS FIRE ON UNITED STATES CONSUL LABBpO,. ty.rcU A0.

Lottoiene is preferable to butter or lard for shortening because it makes pastry rich without the least sug gestion of greasiness. It also makes it light, crisp and digestible. In addition to giving better re sults, Cottolene is cheaper than butter, more economical than lard. Two-thirds of a pound of Cottolene will go as far as a full pound of butter or lard, and Cottolene is usually as cheap as or cheaper than lard. Buy a pail of Cottohna to day, try .this recipe, and let "hubby" render the verdict when he tries the food. When results and economy both point to Cottolene, why use any other shortening? Cottolene is the original vegeta ble shortening and fiying medium. It is a product of Nature, made from the purest and choicest cotton oil, and is in every sense as palatable, health ful and digestible as olive oil. &fSN V Md otly by THE U. K.
