Secretary of the Water Users, DR..
C. A. Van der Veer went into his
vault and got a half handful of peb-
bles-pebbles which looked just like
pebbles YOU find in the street, eX-
cept that they looked little more
ordinary and useless.
Those fifteen insignificant looking
stones" he remarked, will shortly
bore into the bed rock under the

teen precious pebbles yesterday
morning. This morning early a

Self preservation is the first law of

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state
wide prohibition has been raised. a
campaign in favor of a constitutional
amendment will be shortly instituted.
This, like all other important ques-

are found honest and intelligent per-

The Republican has decided to pro-

this issue in its pages, allowing to
each side at least half column daily

be no charge. No anonymous article

that either side, desiring to avail it

every instance the man who doeSn I
drink at all has to help pay the
price.
A man who drinks loses the cost
of the liquor he drinks, loses in eff
ficiency, loses in time, loses in
health, and loses in the respect of
the community, but the man who
does not drink at all loses in taxes,
|, ses in the price of all he has to
buy. even to his insurance. for he
pays more for that because of the
man who drinks. AS people are
learning this more and more they
are brought to prohibition as the
only possible remedy.

GIRLS WISHING POSITIONS

cause they know how to work, and

able to see things in their true per-
spective-to grasp things as a whole
and see the proper relation of cause

The college girl, however, goes into
work with much the same attitude as

must serve an apprenticeship and she
is willing TO- If she differs from her
unframed sister, and from many young
men, too, 1t IL in this-that she knows
how to work, and no amount of detail
is too irksome or too, immaterial for
her. However subordinate her early
tasks may be, she accepts them and
performs them in the proper way. She
knows she has certain amount OF
experience to get, and she sets herself
to get II with the least possible
amount of friction.
Aside from teaching, the work into

$50 tons of pitch blende ore, product
of Colorado mine, was begun here
today for the purpose of extracting it's
radium contents.
Hospitals and other humanitarian
institutions ara to receive the refined
product, None is to be sold, according
to instructions received here from A..
l. Dupont of New Jersey, owner of the
ore.
The value OF the radium contents
cannot be estimated, except on the
speculative basis that two tons of
uranium metal are the equivalent of
LOS grams of radium bromide. On this
basis the ore would have value of
about $360,0OO.
