Demands $4,000 for PriyiIeoe,

In an endeavor to get the right
of-way through Shelbyville before
the matter is taken up by Shelby
Circuit Court. President NIipary
and attorneys for the Louisville
Railway Company, which absorbed
the Louisville and Eastern electric
railroad and intends to complete
the extension to Shelbyville. ap-
peared before special meeting of
Council at Shelbyville and offered
the city $4,000 for the right-of-
way. The city asks $4,000.
Under the old contract the city
agreed to grant the right of-way
through Main street on condition
that the railroad would stand half
the expense of constructing twelve
blocks of brick street. The tracks
through Shelbyville have been laid
Tor two years. a suit is now
pending by the city to force the
L. and +. railroad to remove its
tracks for failure to complete the
road.

Keep. not drunsards. not victims
Of alcoholism. but drinkers. in
positions OF importance. in posi-
tons where GOODNESS and foresight
and self-control are required.
The economic waste due to the
indulgence in liqour is immeasur-
able. The economic saving from
abstinence would soon enrich the
world.
Now the aim OF prohibition.
whether it is reached or not. is to
secure abstinence. is to remove
temptation. is to make indulgence
difficult.
As TO the employment given to
laborers by the brewers and dis
tillers, this is nothing compared
to the employment given labor by
an equal amount of capital invest
ed in other commercial or indus
trial enterprises. Where a brew
cry employs thirteen men, other
manufacturing establishments en-
ploy from twenty-four to thirty
men, and so on through all of the
ramitications of this business.
The question is how best to pro-
mote total abstinence, how best to
promote self-control, how best to
induce men to turn from wasteful
expenditures to wise and prudent
expenditure. There are men who
believe that these good causes are
best promoted by prohibition
law. There are others who bell
eve that they are best promoted
by appeals to intelligence and to
conscience. There are others who
believe that the two influences
ought to be joined, and with this

Apart from salaries the Treas

Of the larger ones have been dis
counted in banks and will be pre-
sented for payment as soon as there
are sufficient funds to meet them.
One-third Of the big normal school

Temperance and Progress.

TIE defenders Of the whisky
traffic. * we Know il in America.
are constantly asserting that tenn
/ peraDce agitation causes an injury
10 business. All that they ash j.
Z 70 Dc let alone.
Whether this agitation for a re-
d lced consumption OF liquor take
the form Of All appeal for volun-
tary abstinence or whether it takes
the form of a demand upon the
State for legal action. the econom-
&c effect Is the same.
If, as these advocates of the
whisky traffic declare, prohibition
is to destroy millions of proper
ty." total abstinence would destroy
the same property. In fact. pro-
hibition, working through the law,
causes total abstinence or some
thing like it.
The value of this property in
vested in distilleries, in breweries.
in warehouses and in saloons is
derived entirely from the retail
sale of these products. If all men
would take a total abstinence
pledge one morning to last for a
year and live To it. the revenues of
the distillers, rectifiers. blenders,
brewers and saloonkeepers would
be wiped out.
But this money usually spent for
this indulgence would not by any
means be wiped out. 1t would
remain in the hands of the total
abstainers to be by them invested
in clothing, in household comforts.
in better food. in schooling. in
health-giving pleasures. Instead
of being an economic waste. the
change in the direction of this ex-
penditure would be a tremendous
economic benefit.
There would be other benefits.
We all admit, even Mr.. Henry
Watterson and Prof. Muenster-
berg, that indulgence in alcohol is
an impairment of a mans powers.

THE RESULT.

Once there was little baby boy,
very mischievous little fellow. He
was just big enough to crawl good and
often meddled with things which lit
tie folks should not bother. He had q
sister who was one year older than
he, and q very small baby brother
He and his sister often ran away, as
many little folks do if they have i
chance. Many people gave them pref
ty presents, and some of them didn't
last long, either, for little folks like
to see what might be hidden inside.
Their father had sorghum mill,
and it was here that these two Oldest
children spent many happy hours.
Their mother, like their father, was
very kind and good to them, and so
they had happy young lives. Their
papa often Whitfield out little wooden
paddles and gave them pint tin with
little sorghum in it and they would
sit and suck the wooden paddles and
not bother him for while. Ihey
grew to be as fat as little pigs.
OF course, there is nothing too dirty
for baby to get into. for they do not
know how much trouble 1t is for the
kind patient mother to. clean them up
and to wash for them and at the same
time look after them to see that they
do not get hurt In fact they are too
busy with the pleasures of bright
childhood to stop to think of it; their
little heads are filled with lots OF nap
Ply pleasures.
So one day this mischievous little
shaver went out to play; his sister
went with him, and she was by this
time big enough to toddle along and
open the gates for her brother. They
| went out through the yard gate and
into the back yard; out to the Goa
pile. Here the sister strolled off anc

NoRMA's SECOND LETTER.

Dear Juniors:
went to Ottumwa the first of last

town | noticed several things which
were interesting to me and hope to
the Juniors.
Near Cliffland could see so much
of a change since high water when it
covered all the surrounding land
which is low and is now so dry that
some of the corn has shrunk and vel
low nv the heat, and yet was sur
prised to see as much good corn as
there was. The cabbage patches all
seemed to be infested by worms or
insects, and so / thought that maybe
as they were only small gardens that
the large garden in the outskirts OF
Ottumwa would be nice like it usually
is. but it. too, was as bad as the rest
for it was eaten to the root by this
cabbage worm or insect.
When we got to Ottumwa large
crowd got on the train to go to Oska

Pumpkins belong to the gourd fam

pumpkin. The plant is vine which
often runs more than twice the length
of a man. and which has a large, yell
low. bell-shaped flowers. They are gem
orally green at first but when ripe a
bright orange. but there is kind that
is dark green when ripe and another
which is striped yellow and green.
Pumpkins are now used mostly for
feeding cattle. They are used in max
