sQUiD'S DEFENSIVE ARM.

Ancient ink was made by a squeez- ing out of dead squids after the body was perfectly relaxed. Painters got their sepia from this same sQuid's bottle This likewise is the true source of the genuine and original India ink, for which there has never been any satisfactory substitute found. The ink bag is big as a mans thumb, and can squirt six feet, dark 21ins more than a hogshead of water, so the squid can make unseen a dart and a dash and getaway when squid-eating sea fish come around New York Press.

TEAMS PLAYED A
 SCORELESS GAME

A score of 0 to 0 resulted when the Prescott high school football team and the Hope high school met in a hard fought battle on the Hope gridiron Thanksgiving day.
 The Prescott boys showed a marked improvement in their playing yesterday and made many good gains. McMiillon played a good game, making several long runs. Johnnie He's terly starred at quarter and his record was especially good con. sldering that it was his first game and also the fact that he played in an extremely import ant position. The line also did good work. Hart and Sulli- van starred fof their team.
 The teams were evenly match ed and the line of battle travelled backward and forward on the field, but neither side was able to carry the pigskin over the goal line. The Prescott team carried the ball to within five yards of their goal at one time, but failed to carry. it over and the game was lost OIL downs.
 About 65 or 70 Prescott peo- pie attended the game and tke number ppeseut at the contest who were from this city exceed. ed the number of Hope resi- dents.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION
What has the Saloon Done for You

We wish we could show you the picture of the burly police, man as he answers this question in these words: "The saloon keeps me on the city payroll"
 The sad faced mother answers: The have stolen me of my boy"
 The discouraged young man answers: "The saloon has seper- ated me from my job"
 The washwoman says: The saloon has forced me to work steadily at this"
 The business man says-ah. shall we say it? Alas, 1 fear too many of them can truthfully say: "The saloon bas made a moral coward of me-"
 But along comes the brewer and when he is asked the ques. tion, he answer in tones of irrep. pressible glee: The saloon has given me an auto, private car, a palace in California and a cas- tie on the Rhine. It affords me thousands of dollars to spend in celebrating my golden wedding in my California home town which is aprohibition town, be- cause I don't like to live amid the squalor which my business naturally produces"
 Not day of happiness does u @ saloon business bring to a single life, not even to the keepers. We have too much faith in the Scrip ture to believe otherwise than this: "The wicked are like a troubled sea, casting up mire and dirt. There is no Leace saith my God, to the wicked"

$315,ooo Worth Of Horses Sold.
That is the amount of our business
the first 3 months Of 1911-as against
$266,0O0 within the same period In
1910-and $237,OOO the first three
months Of 1909. So you see we still
do grow.
However. the figures In dollars fail
to give an accurate estimate Of the
gain In volume of business. When
you figure that values In horse flesh
for 1911-average about 20 per cent
below those Of 1910-you can see at
once that the business has gained In
all about 20 per cent or one fifth more
than Is indicated by the dollar test.
But never mind that, that's done

out this town in 1843, celebrated her
ninety-sixth birthday, March 29.
People familiar with the early MIS-
tory of this region will not have to
be told Of the early prominence OF
Eddyville 1t was the village OF HARD
fish, >or Wishecomaque, as 1t was IN
the Indian tongue, which. We are told,
was quite as respectable In size as
any of the old Indian villages. 1t was
located in what afterwards became the
heart of Eddyville. J. P. Eddy, trad
er, who had been licensed in the sum-
mer OF 1910 to conduct his trading post
at this place, established one OF his
stores there. That was three-score
and ten years ago, period which rev
men and women reach. One writer
says that Mr.. Eddy continued to trade
. at Eddyville, until the treaty OF final
cession In 1912. and was the most for
tunate of any of the large traders IN
finding his schedule Of claims against
the Indians very little reduced by the
commissioners whose part 1t was at
the treaty to adjust all outstanding
claims against the Sacs and Foxes.
After the purchase of the land by
the United States government, Mr..
Eddy laid out town In 1843, giving
it his own name and adding the

"Mrs. Elizabeth r. Eddy will today
celebrate the ninety-sixth anniversary
of her birth in the home she has con-
tinuously occupied since before the
civil war at No. ALI North Eleventh

"Jabish P. Eddy, the husband OF
Elizabeth r. Eddy, came to st. Louis
