Edward j. Gale, who was pastor
of the NJ. L. church in Mexico in
1894, is urging the dry cause. In
a public speech, according to one
of the Trenton daily papers, he
made the following strong state
ment: The church and the saloon
have not one thing Ill common.
The saloon is against everything
that the church stands for. The
church is against everything that
the saloon stands for. No man can
be a friend to both at the same
time. And so / make this request
and / have a perfect right to make
it, namely, if any member of this
church intends to vote for the
saloon, before he casts his vote ]
want him to come to me like a
man and have his name taken
from the church record. If any
man can vote for the greatest
enemy the church has, he should
not expect or desire to be counted

THE CURRENCY BILL.

The Hon. Champ ClarK puts II
in a nutshell, as follows, in writ
ing the Mexico Message:
There is no great mystery
about the Currency Bill which
has just been put on the Statute
Books, but there has been vast
amount Of talk done about it. A
great effort has been made to sur
round it with mystery and a
great many people are really
very much befuddled. The prin-
cipal arguments in favor of it
are:
LIST. In the crop moving sea
son, which begins in Southern
Texas about the middle of June
and lasts until the middle of Sep
TENDER in the northen part OF
Minnesota, there was no way OF
getting an increase of money to
move the crops under the old law
while under the new law there is
so far as farms have the power to
control such things.
2. The new bill will prevent
stock gambling on the stock ex.
changes of the country, and OBJ,
servations show that in ninety.
nine cases out of a hundred it is
the country brother who gets
squeezed on the stock exchange
except in a few cases in Audrain
county IN the contrary.
3. The new bill will prevent
the concentrating of all the mon
ey in New York and will cause il
to remain in the places where il
originally came from.
4. 1t will enable farmers t
borrow money on their farms
from National Banks, which il
the best security under heaven
Of course a farmer is not going t.
borrow money unless he needs i
nor is anybody else. These thing
will make business prosperous.
5. The chances are that tn
rates of interest will be lower.
6. As to where the regiona
banks are located makes very lit
tie difference.
Z. Under the old system Their
couldn't be any increase of tn
circulating medium to any con
siderable extent without an il
crease of the National debt an,
nobody wants to increase tn
country's debt. Of course ther
will be an increase in the gol
and gold in circulation but nc
enough to count very mucl
Everybody seems to be hoardin
their gold. Recently $3O0,00O,O C
IN gold was taken into India an
1t disappeared as completely as
the earth had swallowed it I'D.

Kings Daughters at Benton.

The Benton City Kings Daugh-
tiers are certainly wonderful
women. They meet the 2nd Tues
day of each month and work all
day for the good of the cause
There are only a bakers dozen in
all, yet they pay their voluntary
assessment to the Old Ladies
Home at Mexico of 10000 and
then some.
But what less could one expect
of a group of such women in
spired by that bundle of energy
and enthusiasm, Mrs. James
Dowell.
The regular day for the Janu-
airy meeting of the circle fell one
day short of coming on its presi-
dents birthday, so she requested
the members to meet with her the
14th and celebrate two events.
These Benton City Kings
Daughters invite their friends and
neighbors to their all-day meet
ings, and on the January occa-
sion the invitations were extend
ed to Mexico. Mrs. Chas. Glendy
and Mrs. Charlie Morris coming
the day before to make sure of be
| ing on time.
A special invitation was cX-
tended to Prof. French Strother
who is visiting his daughter, Mrs.
III. p. Warden, as his seth birth
day came on the 18th also. He
accepted the invitation, apprc-
ciating it all the more from his be
ing the only man so honored.
As further expression of his APP
lpreciation and enjoyment of the
occasion he asked to become an
honorary member Of the circle
and was UNANIMOUSLY accepted.
A most elaborate dinner was
served, including all the good
things from turkey to ice cream
A large angel cake surrounded
by blazing candles graced the
center of the table, the number of
candles proving (2) the hostess
to be sweet sixteen.
Several lovely pieces of cut
glass and china will assist Mrs.
Dowell in keeping fresh in mind
this 1914 birthday.
Mr. and Mrs. Dowell S home
one mile south of Benton City is
one of the most attractive in the
county. Four large rooms can be
thrown into one, this spacious
ness attesting the host s idea of
Southern hospitality, and the ar
tistic furnishing giving an atmo,-
phere of culture and refinement.

forgotten, and one vainly repines Their
absence all through the summer weeks
A calendar to pin up on the wall will
be appreciated as the days go by and be-
come lost in the lazy weeks. A candle
and matches should never be forgotten
when one sets out on a summer vacation.
Something may happen to the electricity
in the country hotel. and it is very con-
venient to have the 'mak:nss of a light
always at hand
The closetless bedroom is trial to the
spirit, but many hotels that charge sub
stantial rates offer no closet room except
hooks in the bedroom wall to their guests.
1t is bad enough to have to wear the
same clotnes over and over all through
a summer vacation. without being forced
to look at them on the wall, also, every
minute one is in ones room. Several
yards of cheap cretonne may be tucked
into the trunk, and If there is no closet
