W. c. T. u. Column.
A HIGH LICENSE TOWN.

The New York World wanted tc
know all about that $50, 900 liquor
license down at Waycross, Georgia
and accordingly wired to the Way
cross Journal as follows: File two
hundred words explaining why
Waycross has raised its liquor
license to thirty thousand dollars.
Are there any applications at new
ratel' The Journal telegraphed
to the World the following interest
ing reply: For sixteen years the
city license for selling has been
$40, 900. Each succeeding council
fixes it, no change has ever been
made, and no one has applied for
the privilege within that time.
This tax was levied as prohibitlve,
and has been effective. Not only
is the legal sale prohibited, but
illegal selling is kept to the minimum,
and four policemen kept order in
this town of nine thousand. Ninety
per cent of white people own their
homes. There are no paupers, no
poor house, no loafers, and ninety
three per cent of the children
attend school. The town supports
twenty churches. and all are well
attended. Swearing is rarely heard
on the streets, and one does not see
a drunken man in three months.
Two large railroad shops and one
car factory are operated here be-
cause the men are found TO be more
reliable that in liquor towns.
These are some reasons why Way
cross keeps the license at $50, 900"
The W. c. +. u. will meet in
the Adventist church during the
month of February. Next Monday
at the regular meeting there will be
a short programme rendered. The
society will be glad to have all
women who are interested in the
betterment of mankind attend all
the meetings. MRs. PERKINS,
Press Superintendent.

from 70 to % cents per bushel for husk-

as they pay for husking other corn.
Iowa ships it's popcorn in the ear to
the wholesale dealers of the country.
One farmer made departure by Smelling
his popcorn and putting it up in paper
bags at 10 cents per bag. Omaha and
Sioux City wholesalers arranged to
purchase his whole crop put up in this

One States Enormous Yield OF
Christmas Popcorn.

Iowa has just produced 600 car loads
of popcorn for Santa Claus to dis
tribute over the southwest this Christ
mas. That's a big lot of popcorn. Put
all of this corn in big pepper, hold it
over the city of st. Louis, then lift the
lid and see what happens. st. Louis
buried under mountain of popped pop
corn would look as if it had been hit by
an avalanche Of snow from the ever
lasting mountains of the north.
IL one corn ball made from this entire
crop came to st. Louis the people would
have enough popcorn to feed them all
winter. The boys and girls would have
their fill.
But the 600 car loads means more to
Iowa than popcorn balls--that great
crop means money. At the market
prices of from $3.50 to SIZE per bushel
the Iowa crop means about $S5 an acre
for the popcorn farmers. This price
has been so tempting during the five
years that Iowa has been raising the
corn that the state is known as the
popcorn" state. Each acre means
more money than four acres of Indian
corn.
Sac and Calhoun counties, Iowa, form
the popcorn center of the globe. Schaller
itself will ship $50 car loads of this
Christmas goody. The city of New
York bought 100 cars of the Iowa corn
as soon as it was on the market. Chi
cago is expected to use an equal
amount. st. Louis will probably buy
100 cars or more.
Some popcorn fields in Iowa are
as large as the Indian corn fields.
A. Fl. Gregg, of Schaller, planted more
than 800 acres in popcorn, and harvest
ed from forty to sixty bushels per acres.
Popcorn is not only profitable to the
Iowa farmer, but the farm hand
is making money on it. 1t is
planted late in the spring and natures
four weeks earlier than the Indian corn,
so that the harvest hands have all the
time to husk it while waiting for the
