'■Ahead of us the advance force, Wyoming, cruising diVisioiis, deouting fleet, destroyers, submarines,, and auxiliaries,' are proceeding off a de­ tached mission. They will join us later, prior to the attack on Oahu, which is one of the Hawaiian Islands^ Sure as Ice in. Artie in the nibrning, which the gobs saj comes around as sure as in the Artie. In the afternoon i ’.j greater part of the men wbre leaf­ ing around as Saturday afternoon in always considered a holiday. ' Phonographs, player pianos* ukele- le and banjos are the usual form, of amusement with the men when not jon duty. There is also c.nrd playing and "acio dlicie” seems tcf'be a fav­ orite game all over the .ship. This is . game with dice, and is a real con­ test of skill. In my wanderings over . the ship I h"ve not seen any gamb­ ling, which is prohibited, and when indulged in a t all is kept under cover. On Saturday the writer spent pari of the afternoon in the torpedo room, in the forward part of tho ship, eigli- tew or twenty feet below the water line, Everything there is always in readiness to launch a torpedo or tor­ pedoes. The men on duty there showed me their mechanism and how they are released from the tubes in which they are placed for firing. Ship’s “Brig” From there we went over to what is known as the ship’s “brig”', This cor­ responds to our jails a t home and we found a cell room with four cells, two of them, occupied and a guard over them. These prisoners are in fo r thir­ ty days on bread and water. Both had been found guilty of petty larceny, in other words stealing small sums of money from some of the fellows who had left tlieir lockers open, Such things happen occasionally," but not often, ,, n Naval law is 'very strict apd there is no hesitancy about punishment, hut ho man is sentenced to the brig with­ out he lias been found guilty In a court regularly held# Today is Sunday and rather quiet on hoard, following services held on the quarter deck a t ten o'clock, Our chcplin,,Captain E. A. Brodtoann, a Catholic priest is a big hearted broad minded jnan. He ha3 seen 1G years of service and is very popular among the men of all faiths. During such a cruise ap this, In fact a t all times, there are a number of men in the ship hospital, which we visited Saturday. There were nine­ teen men there on that day, none of them aerioiisiy ill however, During ;the same day one men was taken aer- krasly ill with appendicitis. The ship has "well equipped operating ream end the sick man«was placed on the operating table, The result of the op­ eration .was successful end the pa­ tient is reported getting along fine today, Sunday. Every tin e of Activity This ship, like all of the Mg bat­ tleships, has almost? every line of ac­ tivity on board. Among these is a dentist* who takes rate of the men’s teeth, There is * Mg library with a reading room and permission fo r the men to tak# out the books upon Sign* Monday, April 20, The writer has been aboard the U, S, S, West Virginia, nicknamed by these who love her, as the “Wee Vee", just a week. Had he been asked he would have answered promptly that he would know all about her in much less time, but we confess that there are many, many parts of the ship we have not seen yet, although wp have not, seen yet,, although we have been on fhg move, most of the time,.'" ■ ’ We have tried to visualize the Ship as similar to a large factory employ­ ing 1,500 men. There are exactly 1,5715 men on board. But the ship’s activities have many time, the rang' any manufacturing plant ;on land could have. The ship, being primarily a fight­ ing unit, the first care is in tha t di­ rection. I t has guns of various chaiv actor and size both fore and aft* to­ gether with torpedoes. The discussion over the question of elevating the guns to securs a longcr range of fir- ing does. not apply to the.West Vir­ ginia. She has that long range, as do several of the other hewer Ships in theU. S'. Navy. Wo have gunners who have become very expert in their line of work ahf.j who only recently won first place In *m &RS0ceat'Snii Pedro; JttslTto fore starting on the present cruise. Included in the fighting forces is n detachment of several hundred ma­ rines under the command of Col. J. T, Myers, Major W. C. Wise, Major Lauren W. Willis and Capfc. Or D- Metcalf, We also carry three sea pjanes and a group of aviation offi­ cers and mechanics in charge o f them. Next we have our navigators, the orgn rization responsible for bringing the ship safely through the deep, brhv.y sea in both storm and calm. With the navigators we must men­ tion in the same rank the engineer: who produce the power to propell the ship, without which we would float on the sea helpless and a t the mercy of wind and weather. Now OH Burners , Most of the ships of the navy are now oil.burners, only:a few including the battlesip Wyoming, still depend­ ing on coal to produce the power. Ev­ erything on the ship is electrified, steam being used only for heat when needed. These are the major activities which occupy the attention of olfiigera and men, but the minor activities are equally as important if the major ac­ tivities aro to function successfully. We have mentioned many minor activities on board ship In previous letters, others include laundries, sup­ ply departments* rj&io sections both for the exchange of intelligence with the shore,and fo r the service of the navigators, We manufacture both fresh water and ice for the use of the ship and bake bread daily* About the only1 things we don't have oil hoard is cows to produce milk and chickens to lay eggs, but complete stores of pow­ dered milk and hundreds of cases of eggs were loaded a t San Francisco for a long cruise. We arc told that the navy ships of France carry both cows, chickens and pigs. How They Live How the nafm live is a question which may readers will naturally ask and it is one tha t the writer has been much interested in, The gobs, as they call themselves* are divided according to the occupa­ tion to which they have been assign­ ed, Each when he enlists indicates the occupation he prefers and as soon as opportunity presents he is assigned accordingly, But In the meantime he firt does service in the more menial occupations, such as scrubbing deck, fltanding watch* messenger service, etc. Discipline is ctvi<?t, but not otto* than it must be in an organization of] tins kind. The usual service when on a particular duty is four hours on and eight hottrs off. The men are assigned to division^ and each division has a part of the ship which is “home". Thus the writ­ e r spent an bout among the electrical through Constable Mason caused the QDD p c i) OWS’ arrest pf C. It.

The Jaws of this state and most others already provide for the teaching' of the results of Intemper­ ance. so the. plun of Major Haynes would seem to have tire right of way already prepared for it, Major Haynes has prepared a .sort of a temperance catechism,. according to -reports sent out from Washington by special correspondents, by the help t work ih the of which It Is hoped the rising genera- : ' ‘ tlon will be morally able to refuse to * : take a bribe for bootlegging or give A : bribe.

Cleve-;, Also that the amendment was consid­ ered long and intensively; It was not; snap judgment, and that, each time public sentiment has been sounded out ulnae, it lias seemed stronger in favor of prohibition ’ than before. Then follows such questions and answers as these: “ Whose.duty la R1 to enforce the provisions of the eight teenth amendment?" "The thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and nineteenth amendments each close with the clause congress shall have, power to enforce this article by appro­ priate legislation: For the first time the eighteenth amendment .confer^ the power to enforce the several states.

FREEZE AND THEN FROST , DOES H&m ’ DAMAGE •Saturday the mercury stood near' the hoiiihg point. Sunday was cold .With a heavy rain. Sunday night the mercury dropped as low as 22 above with the ground slightly frozen. On Monday night we had a heavy frost and another Tuesday night that fa r­ mers say did more damage to corn than lite freeze Sunday night. The freeze is believed to have done great damage to small fruits and es­ pecially grapes, the tops of vines look iug more like October than for May. So far as kndw(n the damage to fruit is thought to be slight. As for gardens, they are a sorry sight. Potatoes, beans, tomatoes arc almost a loss, especially the latter.. Some say that the potatoes will re­ cover but the yield may be cut short. Gai'deners were h it hard. Few ex­ pected even a frost let alone a freeze on Sunday night. I t is reported that Wm. Sheeley, Ross township, suffered a loss of $,200 or more on his plants and gardens. Melon raisers must start over. The lateness of the season may eliminate the water melon crop. Some farmers have started to re­ plant their corn. Others are waiting a few days to see what warmer weatli cr will do for the corn. Some have no seed corn for replanting. The week has been a discouraging one to those who were depending on good crop3, and conditions have been unusually bright all spring until this time. BETTER MAILING WEEK Uncle Sam has set the week of June 1 to 7 as “Better Mailing Week” It cost 82,000,000 last year to care for the mail that had been carelessly ad­ dressed or poorly wrapped that it could not be delivered. Last year 21,000,000 letters went to the Dead Letter Office. There were 803,000 parcels landed a t the same place, 100,000 letters were dropped into postoffices without any address a t all Use more care in mailing letters end packages* It' is to your advantage. Everyone knows his own address and if j^ut on the upper loft hand cor-, nor of the piece of mail would keep it out of the Dead Letter Office.

The Senator that day had voted to. rejeeb^Governor Donahey’s appoint­ ments for the utilities commission, a rate fixing board. With other Senators lobbyists, and politicians a genuine pve-Volstead liquor party was held to celebrate the Victory. The net result is that our next gas rate will be about 9Gc net, instead of 45c a t present, and Belle telephone users in the county will find the sky as the limit for ser­ vice. The gas companies should print the Senator’s picture;on the back of the receipts and thank the Klan for providing a vehicle, the Klan Bible bill, to make it possible fo r the util­ ity companies keeping the same mem­ bers on the state board. I t will not be many months until the gas consumers in Greene county will be paying 95c net. Consumers will get .the same service—-and also the satisfaction of knowing that Ohio has not a Klan Bible rending bill due to Gov. Donahoy’s veto. With good liquor a t high prices it is certain the utility interests, will be forced to Bcek more than a dollar a thousand to pay for the care and keep of the lobbyists and members of the Ohio Senate.
