4thA. 1ulbOTs
I think few people realize the extent
to which the prohibition movement
has spread in the United States. and
ELSEWHERE. They read of victory now
and thefe when some county votes out
the saloon, and wonder how long it
Twill be before this temperance wave
Twill subside.
A glance at "wet and dry map
tof the United States shows that the
I lliquor traffic is now prohibited in very
{lnuch more than half our territory.
mime states, Maine, North Dakota,
] Kansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama,
I Mississippi, North Carolina and Ten
Inessee have prohibited the manufact-
lure and sale of liquor within their
borders; while every state in the Unis
tied States, except, perhaps, one or
\ 1.-TWO, has larger or smaller extent Of
fdry territory Many of them are al
most dry, and it is only question of
a few months when many more OF
lthem will take their rank in the list
1 of dry states. South Carolina now has
only six wet counties: and bill was
introduced in their legislature few
ldays ago with good promise OF pas
sage, to give that state, statewide pro-
Inhibition. There are only a few wet
counties in Florida and the last Flori
la legislature submitted the question
of state prohibition to the people to be
voted on in November. Several other
states are getting ready for the same
action soon, Arkansas, Texas, Virgin
ia, West Virginia, Missouri, and 9th
;ers among the number.
New York has over 400 dry towns,
Indiana has ninety counties and seven
| ty of them are dry. Ohio has eighty
eight, and sixty-six of them are dry.
Texas has two hundred and fifty coun-
ties, of which one hundred and eighty
FIVE are dry, with large patches OF dry
\ territory in the most of the remaining
sixty five. California has more dry
territory than all the territory of
l Maine, Massachusetts, Delaware, Con
necticut, and Rhode Island combined,
and 5, 900 square miles besides. Ore
gon and Idaho, on the map are almost
white; and before many months these
states will take up the fight for state
prohibition, with fair prospects OF
winning. Illinois is getting ready for
ssbattle of the ballots in the spring
that promises to almost mt that state
in prohibition territory, large part
of that state being already dry. In
deed, to tell in what states the prohib-
ition Question is making large inroads
would almost be to call the roll of
states.
Occasionally the liquor dealers get
together in convention and comfort
each other by saying, ''at last the tenn
perance wave is receding'' The way
it is receding is that fifteen thousand
saloons were driven out of the United
States during the past year, more than
forty saloons for every day of the en-
tire year
Not only is the liquor traffic fighting
for it's life in the United States. but in
all the. civilized countries of the earth
as we'll. Ia England, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Finland-even
in beer drinking Germany, and wine
drinking France, revolt is on against
the drink business. The liquor traffic
il being driven from all the banevo-
lent societies; from the pay rolls OF

Don't be Dazzled by the High
Price of Cotton.

Cotton is high, but don't forget
that all other farm products are also
high. Don't get swept off your feet,
before, and go wild about cotton next
spring. The average yield last year
was only 156 pounds of lint per acre;
three years ago it was 20S pounds per
acre-nearly 38 1-3 per cent more.
With such a yield per acre last year
we should have had a yield three or
cur million bales larger and prices COR
respondingly lower. Cotton is high,
but so are corn and meat and grain.
Don't forget that in planning for your
1910 crops. Raleigh, N- c., Pro
gressive Farmer.

Sea EIeas.

The deep sea naturalist when pre-
pairing the skeletons of small birds AMI
fishes for mounting calls the sea ieas
TO his aid. These active little crus-
taceans swarm on the bottom Of the
sea in both tropical and temperate wa
tiers and are possessed Of voracious ap
petites. So the naturalist. after remoy-
ing the skin and loose flesh from the
specimen, ties ii In a coarse let and
lowers it into the sea until il hangs
Just clear of the bottom. 1t is immedi-
ately discovered by the sea feas. and
countless myriads Of the little crea-
lures come swarming TO the work Of
denuding the bones. In a short time
the skeleton Is clean and ready TO be
packed or mounted. Care must be
taken to haul 1t up at just the right
moment, as il left too long to the sea
aeas they viii attack and devour the
small bones as oon Is they have fin
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part of the naturalist
will prevent this, however. and the
tiny ~seavengers Of the deep will saye
him a lot of unpleasant work.-Chicago
