count of what the Anti-Saloon
League has accomplished since it
first came into existence.
Whether the statement is an ex-
aggeration of the facts isa matter
of inquiry, but in order that both
the "wets" and the "drys" may
see it the same is herewith re-
produced:
The Anti-Saloon League came
into existence on May "a, 1893.
Seventeen years of organized
work on the part of the Anti-Sa-
loon League in the United States
has made a vast change, both in
the amount of public sentiment
against the liquor traffic, and in
the crystalization of public senti-
ment into laws and provisions
which have brought tangible re-
suits in the fight against the sa-
loon.
When the Anti-Saloon League
came into existence in 1893, the
liquor traffic was growing by
leaps and bounds. The number
of retail liquor saloons through
out the United States was in
creasing with marked rapidity
every year, and the amount of
intoxicating liquors of every char
acter produced and consumed,
was charging at an astonishing
rate. In fact so great was the
growth of the liquor traffic at
that time, that if, during the
past seventeen years, the Anti
Saloon League movement had
been able to do nothing more
than to stop the increase, it
would have been tremendous
victory.
The Anti Saloon movement,
however, has been responsible
for more than simply stopping
the increase in the production
and consumption of intoxicating
liquors. During the past few
years, the number of retail liquor
establishments throughout the
United States, according to Of
fetal reports) has been on the
decline. The internal revenue
report for 1908 showed the num-
Der of retail liquor dealers to
have been 230,51z as against
246, 448 for the year 1907, while
the report of 1909 shows the
number to have been 223, 504,
thus showing a decrease of al
most $4,000 in the number of re-
tail liquor dealers throughout the
the United States in two years.
These figures, however, insig-
nifcant as they are, do not begin
to show the real number of sa-
looms that have been put out of
business in the United States.
The number Of saloons in most
of the large cities in the country
has been on the increase. The
number of drug stores in all the
large cities has been on the in
crease, and the number of man.

ments in the great centers of
population, where Intoxicating
liquors are used, has been on the
increase. Hence, these increases
In the large centers of population

which have been put out of bust
ness in the rural communities,
villages and smaller cities. A

Lois next week in production
wherein special efforts will be
made to achieve a splendid sue
cess. The play deals with the
very human adventures and mis-
adventures of old Daddy Nolan,
a plain, workaday old chap, his
son Tom, a clipper but true
hearted young rascal, Jennie
Burke, the strong willed, high
principled sweetheart of Tom
and Henry Budweiser, a NEAR I,
scheming German grocer chiefly.
Each of these is a great charac-
terization, particularly the parts
of Tom and the old man. For
Tom the Lois management has
specially engaged popular Harry
Cummings, the capable young
actor who once enjoyed high pop
ularity here and whose abilities
particularly fit him for this part.
THE Corner Grocery" fulfills
many demands as a theatrical
treat, being a combination of
much rare comedy, fine touches
of homely realism, delicate shad-
ing of the dramatic and as pretty
a love story as could be asked.
"The Hidden Hand' will be
the play at the Seattle Theatre
next week. The play is clever
dramatization of Mrs. E. D. N.
Southworth's widely read story,
and one of absorbing interest. 1t
deals with the adventures of a
young Southern heiresa whose
father dying, leaves her heiress
to an immense fortune; but an
immense fortune; but an unscru-
pulous uncle determines to pos
sess himself of the property
rightfully belonging to the girl
and has her, when mere child,
taken to New York where she
becomes a waif of the streets
and finally newsboy. An old
friend of her fathers, Col. Hur-
rican, determines to find the
heiress if alive, and bring her
home and put her in possession
of her fortune, finally finds Cap
itola Black and brings her to
Hurrican Hall, Virginia. Her
INSCRIPTIONS uncle, Col. Victor
LeNoir, determines to get rid of
her, the one who stands between
him and fortune, and endeavors
in every possible manner to get
her out of the way; finally en-
ploying Black Donald, an outlaw,
to abduct her and take her to his
cave situated in the mountains.
The play affords plenty of oppor-
tunity for good acting and I'M
limited scope for dramatic SEN
sation. Capitola is the life of
the play. and her tormentors
find themselves foiled by her wit
and ability to turn the tables on
them at every hand. The play
is literally filled with splendid
comedy, and the Russell & Drew
Company at the Seattle Theatre
can be relied upon to give it
splendid production. Miss Jane
Tyrrell will be Capitola and Mr..

Some of the dry farmers out on the

they cannot grow alfalfa might try
sweet clover as a feeler crop. The

ducing plants, and what Is more. they
have the same bacteria. II is quite

1T is true that at certain times OF
the year burning the grass on an in
closed field may remove the ticks

then many places remain unburned

eradication and consequently fails.

Whenever the grass is repeatedly
burned, the roots become eventually
