Progressive Spelling.

Let an umpire be chosen, equipped with
a dictionary for consultation, and a pencil
and paper. Let all the rest stand in line,
and number one spells the first syllable of
any word that occurs to him, but does not
mention the word. For instance, the word
constantly" may have occurred to him, so
he says con con. The next person spells
the next syllable, thinking perhaps of ''con-
sequently." The next in the line may think
the word consecutive, so spells his sylla-
bic. As each syllable is spelled and pro
nounced the umpire writes it down; every
one who makes a mistake goes to the foot,
the rest moving up.
Every one who completes word scores
one; accounts are kept, and the person
who makes five wins the game. In case a
word is formed that sounds unusual, CON
suit the dictionary. Avoid proper nouns
and slang and keep to the English Ian
guage.-Home Queen,

Ort1he unknown artist by the following
mrfmng he should be whipped.
The poor little negro was in an agony of
terror for he himself was the mysterious
painter. 1t appeared that he had a nata-
RAJ genius and great love for art, so had
secretfy studied and painted on the can
vasesof the students before they arrived in
the morning. Fearing punishment if he

Madonna's head and never paint any more.
W,henearly the next morning he looked at

HERE are few facts from the repub,
lican Cedar Rapids Gazette, which shows
the effect of prohibition as depopulstor:
Look you here, gentle reader: The
FIVE license states around Iowa gained
1917, 36s in population from 1870 to 1880
and Iowa gained $50 ,595 during the same
period. Iowa held her own in great
shape. The big cities" that the cry is
about were gaming then as now, They
were right on hand all the time, and yet
Iowa with her growing cities also was at
the front. But during the prohibition
period of 10 years, from 1880 to 1890.
the license states gained 2,75S,5SS and
Iowa only 2S7,281. The license states
made net gain in the past 10 years over
the previous 10 year period of s41, 800.
while Iowa fell down aud did not gain as
much by 1863. 314 as she did in the pre-
vious 10 years. In other words Iowa
gained 430. $50 from 1870 to 1880, against
1919 gained by the five license states,
while under prohibition she gained only
2s7. 1881 against 2,75s.6ss gained by the
same states, or about 10 per cent, max
ing dropping of in her comparative
gain of 12 per cent. Every candid per-
son will admit the power and truth of
these facts.
