WANT BOYS,

The following extract is from the
speech of one of the officers of the
Ohio State Liquor League: 1T will
appear from these facts, gentlemen,
that the success of our business is
dependent largely upon the creation of
an appetite for drink Men who drink
liquor, like others, will die, and If
there Is no new appetite created our
counters will be empty. as will he our
money drawers. Our children will
go hungry. or we must change our
business to something more remunera-
tive. Tie open field for the creation
of this appetite is among the boys
after mer are grown and their habits
e-formed they rarely change In this
regard. II will be needful therefore
that missionary work he done among
the boys, and make the suggestion,
gentlemen, that nickels expended in
years to the boys now will return in
dollars 10 your till after the appe-
tites have been formed. Above all
things create appetites. -
Don't that make a man blood course
more quickly and make it mighty
hard for fatherbood to continue pa
tiont and temperate In thought and
utterance on the great temperance

MAY GET LET DOWN

MAY LOSE The EIR \ D N ES
'Tis Declared Certificates of Indebted
ness viii Not Be Good in Cow
ering Mortgages.

Port Huron, Mich. March 81
Judges Law and Tappan have not de-
cided which one of the four names
presented 10 them is suitable for re-
ceiver of the United Home Protectors
fraternity BY large majority, the
name of William Soutar was the first
to be handed to the judges. and it is
generally believed that they will an
nounce his appointment. The two cir
cult judges, owing to the fact that
there is likely to be a large num-
Der OF civil suits against the trustees.
asked Judge Deach of Sanilac county
II he would file the criminal action
against Wilson, provided he came to
trial. Judge Deach replied that he
would make arrangements TO do SO.
For the first time since the an
nouncement was made OF the wreck
ing of the fraternity, those of the Ger
tificate holders who have borrowed
money from the association are dis
cussing what is to them a more seri-
GUS side of the affair than has yet
confronted them.
Until Saturday night, when the
stockholders held their meeting. many
Of those who held certificates and had
also negotiated loans to pay for their
homes, congratulated themselves that
matters could be no worse. They
thought that the certificates held by
them would count for their face val1e
against the notes; that while they
would be out the amount OF the
savings, they would have their home
secure, as the certificate OF credit
would cancel the note and the mort
gage.
VIII Share Pro Ratio.
Just as soon as the receiver to be
appointed can get the affairs of the
society in shape, the people whose
names are on notes held among the
assets OF the fraternity will be told
that their outstanding Indebtedness
will have to be settled or the mort
cages foreclosed. When the question
OF what the stock certificate amounts
to comes up, the holders will be told
that after the receiver realizes what
he can from the wreckage, they will
be allowed their share pro ratio.
Thus. certificate holder may have
Wilson's signature and the seal of the
fraternity TO the extent Of 81 900 anil
may owe like amount on a mort
gage and still when the time for the
settlement comes, the note must be
paid in full. while the certificate may
bring in any part of rs per cent of
its face value.
The only talk OF vigorous prosecu-
tion OF Wilson at this time comes
from the stockholders, and 1t is more
than p.obable that when the question
Of the appointment of a receiver
comes up the stockholders, commit
tee will, through their counsel, seek
to learn the attitude of the state on
that point.
There has been no talk of the prose-
cution Of Wilson on the part Of any
OF the trustees. From what has been
said by any Of them, 1t can onlykbe
gathered that IL they have their way
Wilson's bail will be reduced, and he
would be used to help, so far as he
may be able, TO recover some OF the
losses. In fact, many people think
and say that II the trustees have their
way, Wilson's punishment viii end
with his short stay in JAIL
