KANSAS LIQUOR PER
 CAPITA 4Sc
Illiteracy Has Fallen From 49 Per Cent to Less
 Than 2 Per Cent.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. IS. Statis- tics gathered by the State Board ofNAgriculture and made public at the close of the year present some remarkable facts bearing upon the influence and benefits of the prohibition of the liquor traffic in Kansas.
 It is shown that the consump- tion of liquor in Kansas is only AS cents per capita, while in the entire United States it is be- tween $20 and $24.
 Almost one-third of the entire population of Kansas is enrolled in schools and colleges, and illit- eracy has dropped from 49 per cent to less than 2 per cent. Eighty-seven of the 105 counties have no insane, 54 have no feeble-minded and 96 have no inebriates. Thirty-eight poor farms have no inmates and there is only one pauper to every 5000 population.
 Sixty of the county jails have no prisoners, and in twelve oth- CTS the rusty iron doors have stood ajar eleven months out of the last year.
 The court records show that grand juries are almost unknown in Kansas and Judges of these tribunals report that crime away from the principal centers has been reduced to the minimum.
 The State Temperance Union and other organizations will pre- pare a document for widespread circulation contending that the prohibition of the liquor traffic in this State has brought about +hase favorable conditions.
 Governor-elect Hodges, Demo- crat, will urge in his coming message additional prohibition legislation. With the women of Kansas enfranchised, prohibition will remain a fixed institution.

Among the Churches.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Not withstanding the weath- CT was bad and raining on Sunday, all services were well attended. The Sunday School numbered GA which was just 100 per cent greater than the record showed for the cores bonding sabbath a year ago and the collection was more than 300 per cent increase.
 A most delightful feature of the Sabbath School music was the new Orchestra composed of cornet, clarionet, violin and organ. The orchestra is to assist in the music at both Sun day school and church from now on. Pastor Temple preached on
 Temptations of the Christians" Sunday night and it was with out a doubt one of the fin est sermons ever heard in the church.
 The weekly services are grow ing in interest and the attendance is good. The practical lessons drawn from the lives of Abra- ham, Lot and their wives throws light upon our own pathway, trials and difficulties. We find that we do not have to leave to meet Abrahams' and Lots. Abraham was in the place of TESTIMONY and SERVICE. Lot was in Sodom, the world, interested in business and social affairs, neglecting his responsi7 bility to God and man, to his eternalsloss and interest. Where are you? In the place of TESTI- MONY and SERVICE or in SOD- OM. Sodom with all it's GOODS was destroyed. Is it not foolish to lay up treasure in place that is to be destroyed?

They all seem to think there is no place like Bryan. We remained with them until Dec. 30, when we took the train for San Benito, the Gem of the low Rio Grande Valley, and ar rived here the afternoon of 3lst. We found our sister, Mrs. J. r.. Valentine, welt. For dinner we had then and have continued Ito have each day since we have been down here, all kinds of fine fresh vegetables rigt from the gardens. The yards are green with grass and the porches are covered with green vines, and roses everywhere. l have seen oranges green and ripe, also bananas right here in San Be- inito.
 One of my sisters boys took his auto and carried us to Old Mexico. So I have been out from under Uncle Sans flag one time in my life. Now l cannot begin to picture the ancient city of Matamcros. It is said that ltwas at one time a city o1 7oOO0, but now only 10, ,O0O.

MAINTENANCE
SECTION DROPPED

Tacoma will save a lot of
money after next year that is now
going to the asphalt paving con-
tractors on maintenance con-
tracts. Under the old system the
contractors guaranteed the up
keep of the pavement for 10 years
at so much a square yard. The
city had to pay whether there
was any work done or not. This
has amounted to nearly $4,000
year the last few years.
The maintenance feature is not
being put into contracts now, and
the old contracts will mostly ex-
pire next year, the last one going
out in 1917.

GOV. GLASSCOCK
CHILLED BY
PRObERS

CHARLESTON, June IA
Former Governor Glasscock was
subjected to grilling cross-ex-
animation today by the senate
subcommittee, attorneys for the
mine operators, trying to show
that the first disorder started in
a union camp outside the present
strike zone. The governor said
this was true, but insisted that
the mine guards had caused the
trouble by their highhandedness
He said that the miners were WILL
ing to arbitrate their differences
all along, but that the operators
had refused.
Mrs. Lucinda Nance, wife of a
striker, testified that mine guards
stopped her and two friends en-
route to the cemetery where her
two children were buried. She
said she merely wanted to put
flowers on the graves. The guards
drove them back.
