From perhaps tie most important
publication sent out by our recent In
ternRtional congress we take the follow
ing:
The new explosive, MaIimite, can in
stantly destroy any battle ship that
floats.
"Were half the power that fills the world
with terror,
We're half the wealth bestowed on campo
and %courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from
error,
There were no need of ~arsenals or forts"
A first class battleship costa as much
as all the ninety-four buildings Of Har.
ward University.
/. A million dollar bills packed clooe-
ly together Like leaves in a book make
a pile 275 feet high. One thousand mil
lion dollars, the price which Europe an.
nually pays for ornaments in time OF
peace, equal a pile OF dollar-bills over
SO miles high. This expenditure for tho
supposed prevention Of war represents
one thousand million days labor at one
dollar a day, and this, be it remembered
every year to enable each nation to
merely hold its OWE.
2. A second pile Of dollar.bills over
So miles high represents the annual pay.
ment Tor interest and other cost Of past
ware.
3. To these inconceiVablY largo
amounts must be added the earnings Of
the millions Of able-bodied men in army
and navy who are Withdrawn from pro-
ductive industries and are supported by
taxed peoples.

The ceremony was performed in the
presence OF the family aud u few ee-
pecially invited relatives and guests.
The bride wa dressed i'll a beautiful
Sublime Gloria costume, aud the groom

The attendants were Mr.. Hanson S,
Woodward and Miss Orpha, brother
and sister Of the bride, who performed
their part in the ceremony well.
Tho scone was beautiful as they
stood before n background OF laces
and flowers, the bride holding q
bouquet OF flowers in her hand. The
ring service, always appropriate ON
wedding occasions, was a part of the
ceremony.
After warm congratulations and
many good wishes for long life and
much JOY the company was conduct,
ed to the diningroom where a feast
OF many courses awaited, and which
was enjoyed by all. The BRIDES pa.
rents and other members Of the
household made all feel at home with
them, and the event will not b. for,
gotten.
Mrs. Drown ia held in high esteem
i'll Glasco society, and also in Cloud
and adjoining counties OF the state,
She has taught IL the public schools
in various parts of Cloud county,
and is known to the people wherever
she taught as Il very efficient in,

BOYS AND CIGARETTS.

The effects of cigarette using by
young boys would be startling revela-
tion to many of their mothers il they
understood. the alarming proportions to
which it has grown in this country.
A magistrate in Harlem court, New
York, made the following significant
declaration the other day:
Yesterday had before me thirty
five boy prisoners. Thirty-three OF
them were confirmed cigarette smok-
ers. To-day from reliable source,
have made the grewsome discovery
that two of the largest cigarette manu-
facturers in this country soak their
product in weak solution of opium. "
The fact that out of thirty-hve pris-
oners thirty-three smoked cigaretts
might seem to indicate some direct
connection between cigarettes and
crime.
And when it is announced on auth
ority that most cigarettes are doped
with opium, this connection is not hard
to understand.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1904-08-31

The cigarette is to young boys very
much like what whisky is to grown
men. If it does not directly cause
crime it at least accompanies it in nine
cases out of ten.
1t must be universally admitted that
the majority Of young boys addicted to
cigarettes are generally regarded as
bad boys. 1t is an addiction that does
not ally itself with the high virtues of
manly youth. 1t leads to bad associa-
tions and bad environments. He must
be strange boy indeed who can derive
moral and physical good from cigaretts
Opium is like whiskey-it creates an
increasing appetite that grows with
what it feeds upon. Even pure tobacco
has the same effect.
The growing boy who let's tobacco
and opium get hold upon his senses
is never long in coming under the dom
ination of whisky, too.
Tobacco is the boys easiest and most
direct road to whisky. When opium is
added, the young mans chance of re-
sisting the combined forces and escap-
