ENOUGH said.

The teacher in charge of one of the
grades in a grammar school wrote on
the board a number of words ending in
the syllable ''tion." After explaining
the meaning of each to the class she
told them to use the words in sen
fences. Her pupils wrote busily for a
few moments. and then one of them
astonished her with the following:

rugged mountain in the island of Cey-

the Mountain Of the Sacred Foot

Here's a cheer for the pledge
signing campaign of the Vermont
Anti-Saloon League. To get peO-
pie to sign pledges of abstinence; to
teach the school youth the effects of
the use of alcoholics; to forbid emS
ployes (trainmen and others) using
alcoholics; to make personal alb
stinence a condition of membership
in some bodies; to keep liquor off
tables at functions and other
wise; to do all or any one of these
is good work and helps forward the
day of triumph over the evils of
the use of strong drink.
The rescue work of Salvationists
and others is of very great value
All the above works are very great
in their preventive and curative
value as to individuals and so to
the public in general.
However great and good these
lines of effort may be, a question
arises, viz: how effective are they
toward dealing death blows to the
national alcoholic drink business?
1t seems to me that as to that
matter they are just about as effect
i've as would be the coming of the
Peacham and Stannard fire bucket
brigades toward dipping the Pas
sumpsic river out of existence?
Do you think the drink current
will ever be really put out of exis-
tence by fishing some people out
of it and keeping some others from
falling into it? The prohibition
party aims at putting it out of ex-
istence.
Do you believe that way or wouId
you prefer keeping it on the map
permanently by regulation?

A Captured Royal Standard.

The British royal standard which fills
the center of the ceiling of Trophy
hall, Annapolis, is a splendid example
of flag restoration Professor Wash
burn said that this flag was ''in about
as fine pieces as chopped hay" yet to
day it looks as If it had just left the
hands of the weaver A great deal of
historic value is attached to this flag,
as it is the only British royal standard
in the possession of foreign nation
In 1918 Commodore Isaac Chauncey
and General Montgomery Pike cap
tured the city of York. now Toronto,
and took from the parliament house
there this royal standard, Christian
