Flying Squadron" Speaking at Cav
airy Baptist Church-Drink
Causes High Death Rate.

The saloons OF Washington were de-
clared to be particularly vicious by Rev.
DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon, of Topeka
Kan, one Of the three speakers of the
first division of THE Flying Squadron
of America" which held meetings at
Calvary Baptist Church yesterday aft
ernoon and evening.
DR.. Sheldon said he always went to
headquarters of the liquor business for
his Information and that when he Wis
tied a few of Washington's saloons yes
terday morning he found conditions a
disgrace to the Capital City of the
United States.
The Flying Squadron will hold meet
ings this afternoon and tonight and to-
morrow. The organization, which has
on its speakers list some of the fore
most orators fthe country. is wag-
ing a fight for nationwide prohibition.
Those who will speak today are Mrs.
Ellis A. Boole, vice president National
w. c. T. u; Eugent W. Chafiin, Tus-
con, AriZ., and Clinton N. Howard,
Rochester, N. Y.
BIRmes Church Members.
Part of the blame for the liquor
traffic was put on the shoulders of
church people, by DR.. Sheldon. He said
1t was because of the men and women
of the churches who drink that the
liquor trafiic has not been stopped.
During the evening meeting DR..
Wilbur F. Sheridan, of Chicago. gen.
eral secretary of the Epworth League
of America, gave statistics showing
the death rate resultant from drink.
The relation of the liquor traffic to
civic government was discussed by
Daniel A Polling. national citizenship
superintendent, of tn eUnited Society
of Christian Endeavor.

and Capt. Hobson was committed to it
as an ultimatum to Congress. He pre-
sonted that ultimatum TO the Committee
on Rules and made it a feature of his
campaign for election to the Senate from
Alabama.
When the Committee on Rules met in
June, and it was apparent that there
would be nc opposition to reporting
special rule from those who were opposed
to the resolution Capt Hobson and Mr..
Dinwiddie feared that they had advanced
too rapidly into the enemy's country,
and began to plan a retreat. They begged
the members Of the Committee on Rules
not TO report their special rule at that
time. TO bring prohibition before the Con-
gress on the eye of national election,
and they prevailed on a majority of the
committee to postpone consideration to
December.
Capt Hobson, as author OF the pro-
posed amendment and also of the reso-
luton for a special rule, could not find
an excuse for a second postponement.
and he faced the ordeal with an assumed
confidence he did not feel. He there
fCre, appeared before the committee to
request that it report the special rule,
even though his amendment should be
defeated.
- SOOO many IutIlDtIS VI the I1OuEb
have come to the conclusion of Leader
Underwood. that there is no political
advantage in running from this pro-
hibition bogy. It has been kept to the
front by Capt. Hobson, with the claim
that the great mass of the people de-
manded action by Congress. and il has
thrived on the timidity of Congress.
The elections in November did not indi-
cate that the prohibition sentiment is
as strong as the prospectus. In Mas
sachusetts. where the Progressives
espoused the cause OF National Prohi-
bition, they had a beggarly vote. In
Ohio and California, Statewide prohi-
bition was overwhelmingly defeated
and these two States have nearly three
times the population of the four States
of Arizona, Colorado. Washington. and
Oregon. which adopted Statewide pro-
hibition.
States Rights Argument.
A Western Representative called at
tention to this indication that prohibi
tion as a popular issue is not what il
has been represented to be. and that
il emphasized the real embarrassment
OF national prohibition by amendment
to the Constitution, in that it would
help the rural States of smaller popula-
tion to force upon the larger industrial
States, a constitutional ediCt which
they could not enforce. The States
rights argument is also being discussed
in connection with the proposed amend
ment.
4 number of southern members from
Prohibition States, are opposed to trans
ferring the police power from the States
to the Federal Government and agree
with President Wilson that prohibition is
a question for the States, and not for the
nation. They admit that their State gov
ernments are having much difficulty in
enforcing Statewide prohibition laws, be-
cause they cannot override local govern
ment and local sentiment in the cities,
and they have an old fear Of United
States marshals coming into the States to
enforce laws regulating the domestic af-
fairs of the people.

PACKERS HOLD CONVENTION
Speaker BIames Government and Wild
Animals for Shortage Of Meat
In United States.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-To prevent a
meat famine, the United States gov
ernment should aid the packing in
dustry, instead of continually hamper
ing it, in the opinion Of Jamss e.
Poole, editor Of the Live Stock World,
who addressed the ninth annual con-
vention of the American Meat Pack
ers' association here.
Poole began with startling decla-
ration that during the first nine
months of the current year as COM
pared with the corresponding period
In 1913 the markets OF the middle
West showed a decrease of 5000
cattle and 1924 900 hogs sold for
slaughter At the same rate of de-
crease, which began back in 1911, he
said, meat will be a luxury and pack
ing houses a liability in ten years.
"Ten million dollars in meat ami
mails were eaten by wild animals In
the West this year." said Poole.

big sums in bounties, the federal gov.
ernment is propagating and protect

Editor Do Lots of Free Work.

Ex-Governor Francis once said the fol-
lowing of newspapers: Each year the
local paper gives from $500 to 81 1000 in
free lines to the community in which it
is located. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than any
other ten men, and in all fairness he
ought to be supported not because you
like him or admire his writings, but be-
cause the local paper is the best invest
ment a community can make. 1t may not
be brilliantly edited OF crowded with
thought, but financially it is of more
benefit to the community than the prea-
cher or teacher. Understand me. | do
not mean mentally and yet on moral
questions you will find most of the
papers on the right side. Today the edit
OF of the local papers do the most for the
least money of any people on earth

Making a Dollar Work.

Are you sure you have proper respect
for, the dollar?
A story they tell about Russell Sage is
worth retelling here. Mr.. Sage entered
store one day to buy pair of suspen-
ders. The clerk wanted a dollar for
them. But Mr.. Sage went to q store
several blocks down the street and
bought the suspenders for "a cents. The
person with him expressed surprise that
a man worth millions should devote so
much of his time to saving six cents.
ut is good thing to remember when
spending money that saving is divi-
dend. Don'tf forget that it takes dollar
a whole year to earn six cents, and here
made six cents in few minutes, .
said Mr.. Sage.
Your dollars can work overtime In the
store They can make money quicker
here than any place you ever saw. Not
only your dollars but your nlckles, your
dimes and your quarters. People who
buy from our store have constantly
growing respect for the purchasing
power not only of the, dollar, but of the
smaller coin as well.

Wednesday is Edison Day,

Wednesday, all over the country. the
American people will pay homage to the
man who gave to the world the inca
descent electric lamp. The practical
way to show our appreciation of Edison's
great genius, in our homes, our Offices
and factories, is to celebrate with more
light, better light. cheaper light.
This we can do by seeing that every
room is equipped with Edison Mazda
Lamps. AZ
The Edison Mazda of today gives from
three to ssx tiiisos as much light as the
oldstyle carbon lamps without cOnsum-
ing any more electricity.
There is an Edison Mazda for lighting
purposes.
To get the full benefit of this big saw
ing put Edison Mazda in every place
where artificial light is needed, whether
the lamp is to be used constantly or oc-
aasionally.
Edison Mazdas are made in a wide
variety of sizes ranging all the way
from tiny battery lamps and automobile
lamps, and the light 10 watt lamp so
handy to closets and other small house
hold purposes, up to the giant 1000 watt
size, which offer the economical and eff
cient lighting for stores, theatres, facto-
ries, golf courses, tennis courts, auditO
RUINS, etc.
Your dealer or lighting company will
explain which Edison Mazda is best
suited to each of your needs.
Be sure the Mazda lamps you buy bear
the name Edison.
