State winners In Boys Corn Club.

Five thousand three hundred and fifty
two boys in the State of West Virginia
during the year 1913 studied instructions,
tested seed, prepared land and made at
least start in planting and cultivating
corn. II is indeed unfortunate that all
these energetic boys could not win large
prizes TO encourage them in their work.
More than 900 won valuable cash or mer-
chsndise prizes at the various county
shows, and every single boy who carried
his " ork through to the finish won the
satisfaction which accompanies the COM
pletion OF a task well performed.
It fell to the lot, however, OF Hazel
Ayers, of Richie county, TO win the big
State prize-the free tnp 10 Washington,
D.. c. The second congressional district
and Monroe county offered similar prizes,
Ezra E. Hamstead, OF Eglon. winning the
former, and George D. Miller, OF Red
Sulphur Springs, the latter. These three
boys, together with VIM. H. Kendrick,
who has charge OF the club work in West
Virginia, made the trip 10 Washington
recently, and were highly entertained by
the government officials, including Sec
retary Huston, OF the Department Of Ag-
riculture. Club winners from other States
were also present, and together the boys
visited all the points OF interest.
The highest yield OF corn reported this
year was l56 bushels Of shelled corn 10
the acre. This was produced al total
cost OF less than 25 cents per bushel.
The average production by The boys over
the State was rs bushel per acre, at an
average cost of 80 cents per bushel.
Forty-five counties now have organized
corn clubs and 29 counties conducted
corn shows the past year. Bankers, men
in public life, farmers. teachers and min
isters are taking an active interest in this
work and are supporting il literally. In
many counties the local corn club organ
ization has awakened the citizens TO a
realization OF the value of permanent
county agricultural agent. This work has
aided materially in uniting the interests
OF the rural schools Of district or county.
II has been the means OF bringing
teachers, parents and pupils closer to-
gether and OF pointing out common line
OF interests along which all may work.
Larger and broader plans are under con-
sideration for this year, and il seems
highly probable that even greater results
will be accomplished.

Necessary Evils.

In the tdays Of old Ramesis when he ruled
along the Nile,
There were human sacrifices of a rather
CORY style,
And If tender hearted people at this SORT
of thing demured,
"Its Necessary Evil they were told
when il occurred;
"For the mighty gods require it. and We
mustn't tell them No,
Or the crops would cease to prosper and
the Nile would cease to flow"
Yet in time this custom perished, spite OF
priest and king and thrall,
For Necessary Evils no necessity atall.
In the time of Mr.. Nero. who was En-
peror OF Rome,
There were necessary evils which were
very much al home;
There were gladiators' battles and lot
oil other games,
Such as feeding Christian martyrs TO the
lions or the flames.
But the reign oil Nero ended and he had
his little day.
And those necessary evils were complete
ly swept away
Swept away like little sandhills in sud-
den windy squall--
For Necessary Evils no necessity at
all.
There were good and kindly people who
defended slavery
As Necessary Evil which was simply
bound TO be
Yet it's washed away forever by the blood
OF noble men;
It's Necessary Evil which will not come
back again.
So the banoom and the brothel, which
are ever talked about
As two Necessary Evils which we can
not do without,
They shall go like those before them, they
shall crumble TO their fall,
For Necessary Evils no necessity at
all.

Somebody scoffed "Oh. you'll never do that:

Without any doubling or quiddit:

AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into NV Throat.

A severe cough Is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs Even
though the cough Is functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping Of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to 1t. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat In this
way is apt to excite catarrh Of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland. of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years 1 was q
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping or
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious collie. from which 1t
seemed I could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
'I tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. / at last tried Peruna, and In
three days I was relieved of the bowel
arrangement. After using five bottles
/ was entirely cured.
81 most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"
People who object to liquid medi-
cinss can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

One OF the most famous wine cellars
in the world-that of the Vatican-has.
at the orders Of Pope Plus X, been clear
ed OF the whole OF its accumulated vint-
ages. The wines will be distributed
among the hospitals, monasteries and
converts in every part of Italy.
The Pope, who is strict teetotaler,
was induced TO take this course primarily
by way OF chastisement OF the papal
guard, whose recent rebellious behavior
is attributed to the freedom OF access TO
the cellars which that body has enjoyed.
The abolition OF this ancient department
OF the Vatican will, it is also hoped, tend
to encourage the cardinals and ecclesias-
tical dignitaries TO follow the pontiff's ex-
ample and renounce the use Of wines and
of all alcoholic stimulants.

The first day OF the new year brought
sadness TO our local Union in the death
OF a beloved co-worker in the White
Ribbon cause: Mrs. Clara V. Towns
wife OF the editor OF the Harper's Ferry
Times. Mrs. Towns was the first active
member to lay down the burden OF earthly
care and pass TO the higher Life. The
white ribbon bows laid on her quiet
breast by each Of her sonowing associ-
ates in the temperance cause, during the
last sad sites, were typical OF the fair,
white life OF the Christian wife, mother
and friend gone home. Possessed OF an
unusually sweet and winning personality,
Mrs. Towns will be greatly missed in
our Union, where her heart and hand
were willing and ready always. Her
funeral took place from the M. P. Church
Sunday, January 4, Revs. VIM. Rogers
and R. Y. Nicholson officiating; inter-
ment in Harper Cemetery. The surviv-
ing husband, sons and daughters have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

Much publicity has been given through
the press to figures recently published by
the Internal Revenue Department OF the
United States Government. showing the
large consumption OF liquors in the coun-
try during the past year. We should be
fully informed OF the facts in connection
with this report. The figures taken from
the internal revenue receipts do not show
the amount OF liquor really consumed,
but only the amount released from bond.
According to law, all liquor in bond must
be released. at the end OF eight years,
when the tax must be paid, and we know
large amount is being released and
being placed in private liquor warehouses
and much OF this may lie there unused
for many years. According TO the Brew
er's Year Book, prohi itlon is proving
effective in reducing the consumption OF
liquor in prohibition States. These fig
ureS show that nine prohibition States
used last year only l.35 gallons per
capita, while fifteen local option States,
with much dry territory, used an average
of 25.23 gallons.
