JUNGLE SAM GOING ON
THE WATER WAGON.
More Than Half of the United
States Is Now Dry"
Territory.
(World's Work MagaZine.)


Nearly three-quarters of the
area Of the United States is dry
territory. Half the American
people live out of reach of d
Q licensed saloon. This is a large
! measure the work Of the Anti
] saloon League, the militant
church in practical politics. The
league has done more in twenty
years than the Prohibition Party
has in fifty. For twenty years
it has been testing and proving
the efficiency of it's political
methods, until now 1T can fore
cast with reasonable degree Of
certainty just what the people of
. any given part Of the United
States or the whole United
States will do with the prohibi-
tion question whenever it is
made an issue. 1t bias become
probably the most active and
effective political agency in the
country.
When the league was organlz-
ed, twenty years ago, outside of
a few thinlY populated prohlbi-
tion states there was hardly a
spot on the map of the United
States where liquor was not sold
openly AMI legally. To-day 72
per cent of The total area of the
United States-2,130, 746 square
miles-is dry territory. There
are nine states in which it is
illegal to sell liquor anywhere in
the commonwealth:
Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Miss
issippl, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
and West Virginia.
There are ten other states IN
which more than 90 per cent of
the total area is dry"
These states are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Kentucky, New Hamp-
shire. New Mexico, Utah, Yer
/ mont and Wyoming.
Arkansas mas just passed a
law requiring petition signed
by all the adult white men and
women in any community before
a saloon can be opened, practic-
ally insuring statewide prohibl-
tion
On the other hand, there is not
q single state that is entirely
"wet." New Jersey comes near
est with only four -tenths Of 1
per cent of It's area prohibition.
; Three-quarters of Pennsylvania
is "license' territory. But
Illinois and Missouri are each 72
7 per cent "dry" and SO per cent
of New York State is prohibition
territory

Dear Sir
Senator James K. Vardaman
will speak at the Mississippi
State FAIR at 12 o'clock Friday,
October 21st. 1t had been
previously announced that he
would speak on Saturday, Nov.
1st, but the change was made
necessary by reason of conflict
ing events. We shall be very
much obliged to you if you will
make notice Of Senator Varda.
mans engagement at the Fair in
in your good, paper. 1t you have
previously noted the engagement
as originally announced for
November 1st, please make
special mention of the change in
the date,
The invitation is extended to
all Of the people of Mississippi
to hear Senator Vardaman on
this occasion. Senator Varda-
man will have only a day or two
to spend in Mississippi, but will
have to neglect none of his duties
in Washington to be here because
the Senate is practically doing
nothing but waiting for the COM
mittee to report out the currency
bill.
1t is particularly fitting that
Senator Vardaman should speak
to the people of Mississippi at
this time. The policies of closer
relations between the people and
their representatives which
Senator Vardaman has advocat-
ed for many years is fast becom-
ing the order of the day, and it
is exceedingly proper that an
official should make report to his
constituency Of matters pertain
ing to their interest and welfare,
We trust that a great crowd
will welcome Misslssippi's most
beloved son that day. We thank
you very much for giving this
matter special mention in your
paper this week. We desire also
to say that the Fair this year
will far exceed all other efforts.
Some $50, 10000 has been spent
since the 1st of January in new
buildings, and there will be
many, new attractions. Every
Mississippian should arrange to
spend at least two days in Jack
son during the Fair.
Yours very truly and sincerely,

CHRISTMAS OFFERINGS
FOR HOUSEEEEPERS
Nap8ry Of Handsome Quality an
Appreciated Present.

Every housekeeper, whether in af-
fluent OF. moderate circumstances, will
appreciate a gift Of napery at Christ
mas time. for the linen closet is never
too full to suit the taste Of the thrifty
minded, and If that receptacle should
overflow she makes space for the sur
plus. One of the articles which she'll
be glad to have is a round tableclOth
Of the new kind. And it's easily
made If you are a neat sewer. for the
center is Of heavy linen lace surround
ed by a very broad band of English
eyelet embroidery on batiste. and that,
in turn, is finished off with a border
of broad lace put on plainly, as the
cloth must lie fat upon the tables sur
face. Or you might make for her a
dinner set composed of a cloth Of hem
stitched fine linen and a dozen match
ing large napkins. Lacking time to ac-
cOmplish so much handwork. tea
cloth of the same order will be hearth
ly welcomed.

heavy linen finished with hemstitching

holed scallops and hand embroidered
In fine design.
Bed sets. consisting OF spread. pillow

what color to select need not worry the
donor. as the smart thing in these
outfits Is white scrim trimmed with
eyelet embroidery or tillet insertion
edging and motif A dozen of hucka-
back towels Of extra length, bOrdered
with an applied design in color, are
useful. If you would carry joy to the
housewives heart send her some guest

done In fourteenth century stitching
These scroll and floral designs are most
of all quaint when developed on a
background Of yellow darning. and as
the centers Of the flowers used with
the scrolls are also IN yellow stitching
the work is extremely effective.

for repairs and gasoline. He had
come from across the line and in his

up a man who was walking. He told
this man that he lived at Pembina but
on arriving did not seem to know
anything about the city. While on the
way over, he changed the license num-
Der from a Manitoba sign to one from
Wisconsin which he had along. He
ran past the custom house without
reporting. The starting apparatus
was out of order on the car, but he
would not stop to have it fixed, but
showed the a ahead until it started
and then went south alone, and would
not tell his destination. These mat
tiers did not all come out until after
he left. he remaining here but a few

democrats. are working as a unit to-
gether.
The fusion candidate for mayor,
John Purroy Mitchell, enjoys a large
measure of popularity. He is known
as a clean, able, fearless man, and
being a democrat is expected to
draw heavily from the support that
might otherwise go to Tammany. He
acted as mayor of New York during
