ASK CLUB NOTES

The following note reaches the Office
of The National Prohibitionist, with the
signature of we'll known Detroit den
fist:
The cold weather of last week caused
severe case of phagedenic pericemen-
tits to develop in the inferior maxilliary
of the superintendent of the Ask Club.
A dentist advised the extraction of the
offending bicuspid. During the opera
ton the patient showed unmistakable
signs of distress and the wielder of the
forceps, perhaps unfeelingly, inquired the
reason for so much suffering and
groaning Il was not grooming, | was
trying to ask you to sign card prom
ising to vote the Prohibition ticket" re-
piled the superintendent.
Mr.. R. L. Herrick has secured 472 of
voters pledges, by his personal efforts,
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-13

in addition to those which he has in
fluenced others to secure 1t seems sim
ply a waste of time and energy to Sc
cure voters to pledge on independent
tickets temperance tickets, and the like.
The temperance men of this country
are willing and ready to come over to
the Prohibition party, and why tenn
porize?
The superintendent would very much
appreciate it if thousand readers of
the Ask Club articles, those who are
working to secure signatures to these
pledges, would send in questions which
they would like answered What are the
objections made to you by the old-party
men? Is there some phase of the party
work that puzzles you? Do you lose in
some arguments with prospective sign
ers because you cannot answer their OBJ
jections? If so, send in these ques-
tions or objections, and the superin-
tendent will answer them. A thorough
discussion of these problems will be
helpful to us all
We do not have to argue very much
with men now regarding the principle
of Prohibition or the policy of Prohibi-
ton. 1t is simply question of method,
and the best method is undoubtedly that
of the Prohibition party. In order to
convince some of our Republican and
Democrat and Socialist friends of this
fact, however, it often takes some pretty
animated discussion along this line
Let us hear from 1000 workers at
once.
There is certain young mems club
in one of the Detroit churches which
has taken quite an active interest in
"clean politics" during the past three
years. There is quite strong temper
ance sentiment in the club, but very few
party men. Two Republican politicians.
older men, who are also identified with
the club, have hitherto almost entirely
controlled the votes of the members by
being appointed on the political COM
mittee, and in their report submitting
list of the clean" men, who have
almost invariably been Republicans. The
intention of these two estimable gen
tlemen is to do similar thing this fall
but a member of the Ask Club is I'm
ostentatiously planning to fool them, for
he is securing the signature of one after
another of these club men to the Pro-
hibition party pledge and hopes to have
a working majority by the time these
wiseacres plan on having good gov
eminent" meeting. Possibly this may be
good suggestion to some other young
men interested in this movement, for the
young mems clubs of the Christian
churches can WELD mighty influence
for righteousness if properly lined up.

not think the present instant was
suspicious for declaring himself a

for even now they had passed the iron
gateway Of the Renwycks' country

avenue lined with trees. What the re-
suit Of this declaration would be he
could but too we'll imagine. His heart
sank; his hopes vanished.
Suddenly into his brain there flashed
brilliant idea-nothing less than an
inspiration. 10 avoid trouble the Earl
OF Croyland had coolly appropriated
the name Of Richard Williams. A fair
exchange was no robbery by the laws
OF love and war. and if Richard Dor
rowed the Englishman's title for the
time being an imminent calamity
might be averted. At all events, he
would meet the girl he loved, which
was the chief object in view, and, be-
sides. the proposition appealed to his
sense of humor. His spirits rose at
once.

N ing because Of his easy fall
into Miss Sempton's clever
trap, was forced to cool his heels in the
waiting room while the seriously DAM
aged Englishman was being patched
up temporarily by the doctors and put
to bed in private room. After long
time the uniformed nurse entered
briskly and accosted the impatient
Texan.
Are you the chauffeur?'
''The chauf-no-er-yes.o Of course"
srammered Richard in wrathful con-
fusion.
Every we'll, then. Mr.. Williams
wants to see you at once. This way,

She spoke CURLY, as if she had little
use for chauffeurs in general and none
at all for this particular specimen.
Richard, however, rose obediently-he
could do nothing else-but his cheeks
were flaming hotly at his false and
humiliating position. Croyland was
carrying his joke little too far.
"Thank you." he answered grimly,

TO BE CONTINUED
SUMMER SCHOOL

Will be Held In Milaca from July 6 to
81 Inclusive.
Circulars in which a general outline
of the intended work of the training
school at Milaca from July to 81,
both dates inclusive, are now in the
hands of the printers. AS soon as is
sued they will be mailed to every
teacher and prospective teacher in this
county and to those in adjacent
counties who may find this the..nearest
point to attend.
The faculty this year is as strong as
could possibly have been expected.
The instructors are all college gradu-
ates and have had years of experience
in the leading schools of this and
other states.
1t is proposed to follow out a line
of careful study in grammar,
geography, history, arithmetic and
civics; also algebra and physics if
class will warrant it. Music and
drawing will be given proper attention.
The training schools each year for
three years past in this county have
been of the very best Special efforts
| will be made to make the coming ses-
sion of greater benefit and interest.
1t is the first venture of the kind in
Milaca and it is my earnest desire to
make it the best. The citizens of Mil
| AGA have taken an active interest, and
teachers will find that everything will
be done to make their stay pleasant
and profitable during the four weeks
OF the term. Teachers can make ar
arrangements to room together and
board themselves, or they may secure
board at the hotels or in private
| families at moderate rates.
Milaca has one of the best school
buildings in this part of. Minnesota.
It is we'll built, we'll ventilated, with
wide halls and stairways, in fact just
the place to find everything. for CON-
fort and convenience in study work or
reference books in library. Teachers
WILL o1oO uuu UOOhS lOr USE WlUQOuU
extra charge except possibly what
may be needed if music and drawing
are taken up.
This training is not on the. list to
supplant the sessions at the university
or the normal schools, but for the
purpose of helping..those whose means
may preclude the possibility OF. going
| away from home. The work will be
just as we'll carried on as at the best
schools in the state, lacking only in
time and range of subjects.
The last examination showed de-
plorable work in arithmetic, civics,
history and grammar, and for the pur-
pose of helping those deficient in
these studies there surely is no.. better
place than the home summer school.
Teachers, remember this, and be on
hand at Milaca, July 6. We want the
best school in the state outside of the
big centers, and in interest and re-
suits along the lines taken up it will
not be in any respect inferior to these
big schools.
