SALOON IS MEANEsT THING.

fFrom an Address by the REV. FATHER
PATRICK ]. MURPHY
Is the saloon business, as we have
it in America today, an evil thing,
and thing that cannot be changed
into beneficial thing? Is there not
such thing as good saloon? Are
we not condemning it because of its
associations? You might as well
talk about a decent rattlesnake or a
respectable hell We certainly con-
denim saloons because of their asso-
Citations; but we are not unmindful Of
the fact that the meanest thing about
a saloon is the saloon itself. Do you
know what a saloon is? A saloon Is
a licensed, bonded and protected re-
sort for men, where, by the use Of an
irritant poison known as alcohol, mod
crate drinkers are first produced, and
then some Of these moderate drinkers
are converted into drunkards. There
Is not saloon in the United States
today that has not purposely and
knowingly produced some drunkards.
One hundred thousand drunkards a

the finished product of an industry, in
which you and I are engaged, as CO.
operators, by granting licenses under
the seal of the various states. A
saloon is an institution for making
drunkards. Drunkenness does not
make a man respectable today. 1t
does not recommend him for respon-
sible position. 1t does not entitle him
to the confidence of his friends The
railroad company does not want a
drunkard in the train or on the To-
connective. The steamship company
does not want him on the bridge. The
commercial house or banking institu-
ton does not want him handling its
funds. The merchant does not want
him behind the counter. The manu-
facturer does not want him beside
the machine. We do not call in a
drunken physician if we care much
for the patient. We do not hire a
drunken lawyer if we want to gain a
suit. We do not want drunken teach
ers in our schools. We do not want
drunken judges on the bench. You
can go right ahead and elaborate on
that just as much as you like One
of the strongest arguments along that
line against the saloon may be
summed up in these words: The
saloon makes drunkards; the sapply
of drunkards at the present time Is be-
yond the demand; let us close down
the works until advancing civilization
finds some use for the product, And
in the meantime let US take good care
of the drunkards we have, for we

Bad Features of Dress.

Formerly it was an unwritten sar-
torial law that even the party dresses
of young girls should not go beyond
medium law" But the other day I
saw a girl who was perhaps seven
teen and whose street frock consisted
of a lace blouse with v extending
inches below the collar bone and
with sleeves stopping inches above
the elbow, scant satin skirt and a
velvet belt at least two feet wide. A
woman of thirty-five might have worn
the costume at reception. It accen-
tuated all the worst points of the girl
her bony neck, angular arms and
undeveloped figure.
Girls of all ages have enjoyed be-
ing admired But it is with the bla-
tant art of the sign painter, with a
fiaring advertisement of face and fig
ure, that the girl of today demands
admiration from the rest of us. Is
she getting it?

INJURY BY CARPENTER WORM
During Past Few Years Large trunk
Borer Caterpillar of Cottonwood
Has Spread to Elms.
CRy 8. B. DoLEN.)

A(OA@A2ANs(
In many sections, especially through
out the western states, poplars and
cottonwoods are the first shade trees
planted. Their beauty, quick growth
and heavy foliage make them very use
full trees in a new settlement. Later
on they are usually replaced by trees
of slower growth, which are stronger
and more enduring.
In some states the favorite shade
trees seem now to be the cork elm
and the American elm. The poplars
are Objectionable in many ways. They
are only too often infested with root
borers, bark borers, borers in the
trunk, or even the small twigs.
| The elms, on the contrary, are usu-
ally remarkably free from insect pests
of all kinds; but during the last few
years the large trunk-boring caterpil-
lar of the cottonwood has spread to
the elms and for some time has been
doing an increasing amount of dam
age to these beautiful young trees
This dangerous caterpillar is called
the carpenter worm; a good name, for
| 1t would be hard to do smoother work
with gouge and auger than it does with
its strong, horny jaws. It is a native
of this country, and is common in
many trees and bushes, from which it
spreads to the elms and cultivated
willows.
Usually the first sign of its pres
ence in an elm is moist, discolored
spot around some crack or scar in
the bark. A careful examination shows
bits of damp, black sawdust sticking.
out from the crack. Later on these
signs grow palmer. In a year or two
the dried bark falls away, leaving
ragged hollow in the trunk, more or
less filled with bits of dead and partly
rotten wood. An injury by these de-
structive worms should receive prompt
and effective attention. Chisel away
all dead and rotten wood, and thor
oughly remove all droppings and de-
bris from the holes made by the car
penter worm After a few days visit
the tree and notice which burrows con-
tain moist masses of fresh droppings.
With an umbrella rib or a sharp,
heavy iron wire prod vigorously in
all these holes, so as to kill as many
worms as possible. Remove all de-
bris, and week later repeat the same
vigorous prodding. If this process
seems unsuccessful after repeated
trials buy a few ounces of bisulphide

SAVING IN CRIMINAL COST.

The question is asked: is there
evidence to prove that the cost Of
prosecuting crime is decreased under
temperance" Temperance states and
towns furnish an abundance of evil
dence. For example:
Lawrence county, Pa, has made an
interesting discovery along this line.
Figures compiled from city and county
records show that the amount paid to
Jurors in attendance upon criminal
cases during the license period of 1908.
1909, 1910 and the March session OF
1911 averaged $1,558 for each of the
thirteen sessions, and that the aver
age amount paid Jurors during the ten
sessions under no-license for which
figures are available is only S980.4S
an average saving in jury fees alone
of S577.52 per session, or $2,310.08 per
year. This amount exceeds by $76.55
the greatest amount received from
licenses any one year during the pc
riod from 1905 to 1910, inclusive

Compare Ashland
With Mineral Wells

We have written considerable COM
pairing our possibilities with Mineral
Wells, Texas. We have done this be-
cause the writer has visited Mineral
Wells and is familiar, by his own OBJ
servation, with the waters and con-
ditions surrounding that resort in
comparison with the natural resort
assets about Ashland. Mineral Wells
Is not half so attractive as Ashland,
either from the standpoint of climate,
scenic aspect, medicinal water value,
soil, or railroad and auto traffic fa-
cilities. In fact, it is not to be COM
pared to Ashland in attractveness.
Notwithstanding that, the railroad
entering Mineral Wells shows that
10000 tickets were checked off at
that point last year. If the 10000
tourists stopping there left an aver
age of ten dollars each, the gain to
Mineral Wells, directly from the tour
ist crop, amounted to $1,5O0,0O last
year. When we consider that the
Rogue River Valley fruit crop last
year marketed for about that sum,
we can get some idea of the future
possibilities for Ashland That is
what we must now carefully consider,
for we are about to invest a large
sum of money in an enterprise of the
same kind. Mineral Wells is a dry
town, as is 80 per cent of the water
ing resorts of America.
