This hawk killed forty hens.

They shot him.
The farmers did not say.
'Aw! What's the usel Let him

They did not say, Aw, gwan
If we kill this hawk, some other
hawk will come, an why discri-
inmate between hawks? If we
could kill all the hawks nj wunst
it would be different. Let the
hawk go along an we will get

"The farmers did not say,
That hawk has got lot o.

Just so it is proposed to des-

their downfall.

A True Story.
By Myron A. Waterman.

There was a big ''wet' and
"dry" battle being fought in
one of the large towns of In
diana. Some OF the business men
of the city were wet" and
among them was a very promi-
nent eX-state official, Il big lib
eral, good natured, jolly man,
and manager of a large factory.
He was friendly to the saloons
and gave money and much time
to the campaign on their inter
eStS.
This man had a fine home, a
lovely wife and two bright, in
nocent, chubby boys. The Daddy
of these littlefellowsc came home
one evening after working for
the saloons all day and while
waiting for dinnr he seated him
self in big easy chair with his
wet" evening paper. His two
little boys came to him and
crawled up under his paper and
seated themselves in his lap, one
on each knee. AS Daddy read
the paper the little boys busted
themselves spelling out the
words in the big headlines

SERIOUS QUESTIONS FOR
VOTERS.

DO wc want saloons? Ii so,
why?
Who OF us want them, and
for what?
Is time spent in them which
could be better spent elsewhere?
Is money spent in them which
would do more good spent OF
herwise?
Is there likely to be gambl-
ing in them?
Is any money worse than
wasted in them?
DO fathers set bad examples
there for their boys?
DO our boys get good habits
there that will make them good
men, or habits that may make
them good-for-nothing men?
Are our wives, mothers and
sisters made happier by having
loafing and drinking places to
tempt their husbands, sons and
brothers to waste their time and
spend their money in drinking
and loaling instead Of being at
home with their families?
Is the saloon a good place to
educate the young men, who
are to be the husbands of our
daughters?
If no money were spent in
saloons, would there not be more
trade and less bad debts in bust
ness, and more comfort in
homes?
Would anybody be hurt by
having these places shut up? If
so, who? And how wosld they
be hurt?
Would some men be better off
today if they had never been in
a saloon?
Would some women and chill
dren be better fed and better
clothed?
Would some homes be hap
pier?
Would anybody who is dead
be alive today?
Would saloon-keepers them
ewes. and their families, be
better, happier, or more useful
in some other business?
Do saloon-keepers want to do

Following The Crowd.

Uncle Billy walked into the
village store about the middle
of the afternoon, and the store
keeper waking from his nap,
said, Thought you'd gone to
the state fair"
Il did" was the brief reply,
as Uncle Billy helped himself to
a chair.
Didn't you like it?"
Uncle Billy looked around
cautiously. The other village
loafcrs were having game OF
of horseshoe" in front of the
blacksmith shop; so lowering
his voice, he said, conIidcntially,
"Tll tell you how ii happened.
| hadn't been to the state fair
for twenty year, SO / wasn't on
to it very well. decided I'd
keep an eye on the crowds, and
follcr where they seemed the
thickcst. Well, it worked pretty
well. | went around to Il good
many fine displays and shows
and things. About noon, I saw
Il lot of fine dressed folks goin'
in one direction, so | took after
'em. They all pushed and jamm-
ed to go through an archway,
and | pushed too. Well, what
d'you suppose it was?"
Give it up" the storekeeper
said, eager for the climax.
"Well, they were all city folks
goin' home to dinner and there
| stood on the outside. | wasn't
goin' to pay no fifty cents to
get back in, so | lit out for home
| thought I'd stop in here for
spell, to keep the family from
askin' questions about my get
tim home so early" Youths

one of the little fellows said,
Daddy, how are you going to
vote, "wet" or "dry?" Daddy
hesitated a moment-his face
flushed and as he dropped his
paper he replied: "Son, how do
you think ought to vote?" The
little fellow said: We'll, we have
been talkin' it over with Mamma
and she says at she thinks you
ought to vote dry" for us
boys
After dinnci' that night Dad
dy went down town to a DRY"

ed to be a friend and supporter
of the saloons. l am your enemy

fic is driven off the face of the
earth, in the interest of my lit

talking there were tears glist-
ening in his eyes and big strong
men sobbed and cried for Joy.

THE FARMER AND THE SA.
LOON.

In their effort to re-establish
saloons in "dry" counties, liquor
men tell the farmers that to
close saloons means the closing
of breweries and distilleries and
that this means the loss of a
market for the surplus products
of the farm. They do not tell
the farmer how little of his sur
plus grain is used in the manu-
facture Of beer and whisky, but
Uncle Sam, in his census re-
port, says it is about two per
cent. If a farmer sells thou
sand dollars worth Of grain,
about twenty dollars worth
goes into the making Of beer
and whisky.
But suppose all the brewer
les and distilleries were closed,
the farmer would have a much
better market for his grain, for
the money now spent for intoxi-
cants would go into other chan
nels with the result there would
be more manufactures, more
stores of various kinds, more
industries, more Of II kinds of
business which would call for
more men and these men would
need everything the farmer has
to sell. Turn the millions now

A WHIFF FROM HE'LL!

At a meeting of the State
Liquor Dealers, of Ohio, at CO.
lumbus, Ohio, one of the dele e.
.satcs, in the course of a speech
on "How to Build Up the Sa-
lowing suggestions:
HE SAID:
''rhe success of our business
is dependent largely upon the
creation of appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor, Ike 9TH
ers, viii die, and if there is no
new appetite created our count
ers will be empty, as will be our
Golfers. Our children will go
hungry, or we must change our bu-
siness to that of some other more
renumerative.
''The open field for the crea-
ton of appetite is among the
boys. After men are grown and
their habits formed, they rarely ever
change in this regard. 1t will be
needful, therefore, that missionary
work be done among the boys, and ]
make the suggestion, gentlemen, that
nickels expended in treats to the
boys now. will return in dollars to
your tills fter the appetite has been
formed. Above all things create APP
petite"
The above was given the Anti-Sa-
loon League by gentleman who
was present at the meeting and made
exact notes Mt the time of what was
said. The delegate who made the
speech supposed that none but liq-
uor dealers were present.

spent for drink into other chan
nels and the market of the far
meg would be greatly expanded.
This is common sense and is
Tome cut by The facts.
Ohio tanners will do we'll to
remember that when these same
hruor men who are now so soh-
o.t)us about their welfare were
as us the legislature to repeal
the Rose law they argued that
these old hayseeds" have no
has,aeas to say whether or not
saloons shall be open in the
CITES and towns of the county.
.martnH under the defeats in
A.cted by these farmers, the liq-
uor men abused and ridiculed
them and wanted the legislature
t. take from them the right of
saying whethes' saloons should
remain in the counties or whc-
enet they would have to go.
Tut the farmers won out and
law was sawed. The farmer has

lie has a right to object thro-

in his town make criminals for
whose prosecutions he must
pay and paupers and unfor.u-
mates for whose support he il
taxed. Now the liquor men who
abused the farmers are YONG
into these contested counties
and are trying to whccdlc and
coax the farmer into voting
wet under the misrcpresenta-
ton that it is to his benefit to
do SO.
The farmer has nothing in
common with the saloon. The
saloon does not help him in any
way but is positive injury to
