Qcortjc ll.Sittlnr, socialist councilman
ff0? th? 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.

This brings the amendment to n

PANTRY
Pastry can be "pasty" or "tasty" much depends upon the
cooKing tat used. 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.
