Baylor Lodge Benefit.
The attraction, Miss M. C. Hutchin-
son, at Witcher Opera House Thurs-
day evening was both a financial and
artistic success.
In a few well chosen words, Rev.
D. R. Hardison introduced the speak-
er, whose response and striking per-
sonality won the audience immediate-
ly. After she read a few short
poems, little Dimple Fox, daughter of
a Baylor Girl, presented Miss Hutch-
inson with an arm bouquet of roses,
gift of the Baylor Club. Following
this the reader gave “Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm,” which Miss
Hutchinson interpreted beautifully,
lending her own inimitable grace of
style to the story. She ably sustain-
ed the reputation that preceded her
and the Baylor Club feels grateful
that its first and only attempt to give
something to the public has been
something of splendid literary merit.
Miss Hutchinson expressed deep
appreciation for all courtesies ex-
tended to her, but the people of Lam-
pasas feel that they have received the
greatest gain from her visit to the
city. X
tween Germany, the supreme auto-
crat on the one hand, and the great
republic of North America, champion
of liberty, on the other hand. If we
are wise we will not permit the issue
to be narrowed to a final decisive con-
flict. We will wage war vigorously
in conjunction with France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia in order
that it may be terminated quickly
and successfully.”
YES!
OBJECTIONS ANSWERED
“Life insurance is blood
money.”
No, It is bread money.
“My wife objects.”
Widows never do.
“I do not want anything
I have to die to win.”
You will have to die
whether you win or lose.
“I am not going to leave
life insurance for the other
fellow to squander.”
The other fellow would
squander other property as
quick and if you die with-
out life insurance your
wife may be compelled to
marry the other fellow for
a living.
L. R. SPARKS,
Resident Agent.
There are several training camps
to be established for the training of
officers and men for the United States
army, and Lampasas has an ideal lo-
cation for such a camp. We have an
ideal climate, abundance of water,
good railroad facilities and numerous
other things which would go toward
making this a good location for a
training camp. If a camp could be
secured it would mean an immense
thing for our town in a business way.
The Leader believes it is a proposi-
tion worth investigating and by hav-
ing a meeting of the business men of
the city plans could be made to inves-
tigate the proposition and decide on
what steps should be taken in the
matter.
DIZZYSPELLS
Relieved After Taking Two Bottles
Of Cardui, Says Tennessee
Lady.
Whitwell, Tenn—Mrs. G. P. Cart-
wright, of this place, writes: “About
four years ago the dizzy spells got so
had that when I would start to walk
I would just pretty near fall. I wasn’t
past doing my work, but was very
much run-down.
I told my husband I thought Cardui
would help me, as a lady who lived
next door to me had taken a great
deal, and told me to try it. This was
when we were living in Kentucky.
My husband got me a bottle and I
took it according to directions. It
helped me so much that he went back
and got me another bottle. I got a
whole lot better and just quit taking
It. I got over the dizzy spells.. .1 took
no other medicine at that time nor
since for this trouble. No, I’ve never
regretted taking Cardui.
I felt just fine when I finished the
eecond bottle.”
Purely vegetable, mild and gentle
in its action, Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, may be thq very medicine you
need. 1$ you suffer from symptoms of

Gen. J. J. Pershing to Lead First Ex-
peditionary Force.
Washington, May 18—President
Wilson tonight, immediately after
signing the army bill, directed that
an expeditionary force of approxi-
mately one division of regular troops
under command of Gen. John J. Per-
shing proceed to France at as an
early a date as practicable. General
Pershing and staff will precede the
troops abroad.
Senate Would Limit Army Conscrip-
tion to War Period.
Washington, May 18.—After the
war budget bill had been passed and
perfected in both houses of congress
today and sent to President Wilson
for his signature, the senate adopted
a joint resolution proposed by Sena-
tor Smith of Georgia, to put conscrip-
tion out of force four months after
the end of the war.
To become effective, it must be ac-
cepted by the house and approved by
the President.
First U. S. Hospital Unit Reaches
England.
London, May 18.—The first of six
fully organized and equipped hospital
units which the American Red Cross
is sending to France arrived in Eng-
land yesterday. The unit comprised
about 300 persons including twenty
army medical officers, sixty nurses
and more than 200 other attaches
This unit will be the first officially
sanctioned by the United States gov
ernment to carry the American flag
to the battlefields of France since the
United States entered the war.
Prompt Financial Assistance Now
May Shorten War.
Chicago, May 18.—“Prompt finan-
cial assistance to the allied govern-
ments may enable the allied forces to
gain a decisive victory before Ameri-
can soldiers may have to be sent to
Europe,” Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo declared tonight in opening
his tour of the middle west in the in-
terest of the liberty loan.
Mr. McAdoo spoke before a gath-
ering of middle west captains of in-
dustry and finance at a banquet in
the Hotel La Salle. He answered the
question, “How will the war affect
business?” with the declaration:
“My only fear is that we shall have
too much prosperity.”
“If the German military autocracy
should succeed and dominate all Eur-
ope,” said Secretary McAdoo, “then
the issue will be reduced to a war be-
lina, Tennessee, Illinois, Montana,
Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. /r.
The remainder will go into federal
service on August 5. They include
j Indiana, Knetucky, Georgia, Florida,
; Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
| Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Mis-
! souri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
| Arizona, Utah and California. All
! the national guai'd coast artillery will
be drafted on July 25.
President Signs Army Bill.
Washington, May 18.—President
Wilson tonight set June 5 as the date
of registration for all men between
the ages of 21 and 31 for military
service.
President Wilson signed the army
bill just after coming from dinner at
8 p. m. He went to his study alone
and signed the measure as he would
any ordinary bill.
Flatly rejecting that section of the
the measure which would permit
Colonel Roosevelt to raise volunteer
divisions, President Wilson tonight
signed the conscription bill. The bill
was signed despite opposition which
manifested itself at the eleventh hour
in many quarters.
