The Navy Has Not Foundered,
But It’s High And Dry
Today.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., July 1 —
No more is the jolly jack tar’s
song, “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of
rum”.
The navy wrent dry today.
Secretary Daniel’s orders a
1
gainst the officers' wine mess,
the use of any alcoholic beverage
aboard the battleships or in land
stations or officers’ clubs ashore
was clamped on today. Conse
quently there was gloom in navy
circles today. They felt the new
order might be a hardship some-!
times and besides, it swept
away a time-honored custom. It j
means practically total abstin
ence for navy officers and men,
at least while on a cruise.
The order is so sweeping that
an officer ashore cannot have any
liquor, provided he maintains a
residence in a naval reservation.
Commanding officers are made
personally responsible for en
forcement of the order
Secretary Daniel’s order was
promulgated some time ago, on
recommendation of Surgeon
General Braisted, who felt that
liquor aboard battleships wras
not conducive to the high stand
ard set by the administration.
The Secretary’s early investiga
tions of the navy surprised him,
for he found that officers were
allowed to buy light wines in the
wine mess, and to serve it with
dinners. Likewise his friend
ship with Secretary of State Bry
an, an ardent temperance de
votee, is believed to have figured i
. . 1
in his dry decision.
The official order reads: “The ,
use or introduction for drinking
purposes of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel or with
in any yard or station is strict
ly prohibited, and commanding
officers will be held drectly re
sponsible for the enforcement of
this order.”

Bengel. After the marriage Mr.
and Mrs. Daugherty drove out

friends.
Both bride and groom are a
mong Jackson county’s most ex
cellent young people, whose mar
riage is received with interest
by their large circle of friends
at Newport and Tuckerman,
where they are held in highest j
esteem- May their lives be i
crowned with happiness is the
wishes (ot their tnenas every- j

Rain, Real Rain.
The drouth of 1914 extending
from May 4 and we hope ending
on or about July 1, has been such
a long one that all of our old
settlers have been comparing it
to that of 1874 and finding so
many points of similarity that
some have been predicting no
rain until September, which
would mean a crop failure and
the ruin of the people.
A shower Wednesday after
noon did much to dispel any such
[forebodings and the weather bu
reau while not predicting imme
diate rains, find signs of an ap
proaching end to the long
drouth.
No rain ever fell upon a more
grateful people than are here in
Jackson County to receive a gen
uine “toad strangler.”
