A GIANT STRUGGLE.

The prohibition question is before
the people of the United States for
final settlement, and it is going to
bring about one of the greatest strug-
giles ever engaged in in this country.
Lined up on one side are all of the
associated interests of the liquor
trade, including the brewers, distill-
ers, manufacturers of machinery used
in various departments of the liquor
trade, the growers of the products
that go into the manufacture, the
wholesalers, agents and local dealers,
and all others whose interests are as
ISOLATED with this great industry. On
the other side are the legions of men
who are opposed to the saloon as an
institution. The situation has been
working up to this crisis for num-
Der of years, and is now ripe for final
settlement Two things look favor
able to a sweeping victory for prohi-
bition: The cause of prohibition has
been making constant gains for the
past several years--and the saloon
has come more and more INTO dis
favor And, think as you will on the
question of prohibition, you are forced
to the opinion that whisky drinking
has gone wonderfully out of style
within the last ten or fifteen years.
The issue is pending and every citizen
had as we'll study the question and
make up his mind to take one side or
the other.

The writer has just been reading a
series of articles about the wonderful
productiveness of some of the lands in
the Pacific Northwest. These lands
are most all irrigated, and improved
are worth from $50 to $1,000 per
acre, and produce from 5000 to 81 200
crops per acre in fruits and berries
and truck of various kinds. The
stories read like fairy story in some
instances. And yet when you come
to figure on it, these high price lands
do not offer any better inducements
than the cheaper lands of Eastern
Texas when properly cultivated. Land
here that can be bought for one-fourth
the money of the cheapest lands
quoted in the Northwest will, under
similar treatment of close cultivation,
produce equally as well. And here no
irrigation is necessary. Still thou
sands OF people are rushing into the
Northwest and buying these lands be-
cause they have been made famous
through clever advertising. East Tex
as needs central advertising bureau
to get the lands of this section before
the people of the country. Some
great facts could be told and proven.

A TRIP TO cARTMELL's LAKE.
sunfIower Club Entertained Miss Rob
erts of GiImer Saturday.

Last Saturday evening the Sunflow-
er Club, chaperoned by Miss Emma
Bowen and Mrs Milton Fore, enter
tanned Miss Roberts of Gilmer at
Cartmells.
we were to meet at the Avenue
Baptist church at 1 o'clock, and from
IL to 1 was long and lonesome hour
for we boys, for we knew the girls
were waiting at the church, for lis.
while we were at our desks figuring
the minutes and scconis-untif the
big whistle gave the signal to go.
After SO long time we heard its glad
and melodious sound, and away we
went for the church, where we found
the jolly crowd awaiting us. Imme-
diately upon our arrival, everybody
made rush for the wagon, and the
"All Aboard" signal was given, and
we were off in bunch.
We arrived at the lake about 2:3O
p. m, and pitched camp and made
other arrangements, such as making
red lemonade, etc. Old Sol was send
ing his rays of sunshine down in all
his glory, but little too strong to
venture out on the water, so the
early part of the evening was spent
in kodaRing and fishing, principally on
dry land, and the girls say they had
splendid luck.
Old Sol got about half past the cor
ner and made the lake so inviting that
we could not resist, SO the remainder
of the afternoon was spent in boating.
Mr.. Milton Fore arrived just in time
to assist the chaperons in spreading
repast, the like of which the writer
has seldom enjoyed. Then back to
water like a bunch of Mallards, crow
ing and splashing and singing just
like lark" "I'm Afraid to Come Home
in the Dark"
The lightning flashed and the thun-
der roared in the western horizon,
and we heard the echo from our chap
erons, saying, Children, come and go
home" so we pulled for the shore and
made preparations to leave. On the
way home everybody was feeling fine
over the trip, and we had to put the
finishing touches on it by ending up
with hay ride. We heard several
say, Don't you know those people
have had time" Well, they were
right about it, for all said they had
never been on an outing that was en-
joyed as this one, and it will long be
remembered
After several rounds in the city, to
our sorrow we had to part, and every
one wanted to go to their home last
This trip will go down into history
by the Sunflower Club, and will often
be thought of.

THE AIDE COMEDY COMPANY.
Appreciative Audience Witnessed One
of Best Shows of the Season.

1t was good show. In fact, it is
about the best for the size of it's cast
seen at the Temple during the entire
season, and though it might be in
creased in number, it could scarcely
be improved in it's quality Leo Adde
is a whole show in himself. This
comedian is popular in Palestine, for
he has created many a laugh, and
people like laugh. The whole show
last night was series of laughs and
pretty music-catchy songs, beautiful
choruses-new songs and new jokes.
No one present failed to get his
moneys worth.
Popular prices will prevail, and the
show will be here all week, with matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday sitter.

Every attraction offered by the
present Chautauqua has proven of
good merit, and the people who have
been attending have enjoyed rare en-

who, by the way, is good authority in
such matters, gave it as her opinion
that the attractions this year were
the best ever offered to Palestine
people.

the Irish humorist, was the feature,
and he proved one of the best enter

program.

The band benefit at the Airdome
was a success last night, and large
crowds were present to see the pic
lures and enjoy the music. A number
of counter attractions kept the crowd
from being as large as was hoped for,
but neat sum was realized and the
band boys are thankful The pic
lures were good and the music was up
to the standard. Palestine should en-
courage this young band and help
them to make the good old summer
time pleasant with their free con-
certs.

in the early days wolves were con- paratvely unsuspiclous, and 1t was easy to trap or poison them. Then new knowledge, a better comprehen- sion of the modern dangers, seemed 10 spread among the wolves. They learn ed how to detect and defy the traps and poison. and In some way the knowledge was passed from one to an- other till all wolves were fully pos sesSed Of the information, How this Is done is not easy to say. It Is easier to prove that it Is done Few wolves ever get into a trap, fewer still get Into a trap and out again. and thus they learn that steel trap Is a thing to be feared. And yet all wolves have the knowledge. as every trapper knows, and since they could not get 1t at first hand they must have got it second hand-that is, the information was communicated to them by others of their kind
