Twins are not uncommon. but IL is
seldom they are found in the ranks Of
accomplished musicians. The Cartwright
Brothers have studied music from the
time their baby fingers could first hold
the instruments. Although playing many
with equal skill the twins have specialized
ou the cornct and trombone. Long CON
tinued association with music and mu-
sicians has made them especially profci-
emit in their art Their brass duets and
solos are remarkable for smoothness and
purity Of tone
Arthur T.. Wohlrab. violinist, and
Edward 9. Ryan, pianist. are associated
With the Cartwrights forming an instru.
mental quarette. The program is rcplete
with novelties and offers one surprise
after another. Their versatility is best
illustrated by their program. Besides
descriptive and ensemble numbers OF
coruet, trombone, violin, cello and piano,
there is the unusual feature Of xylophone
solo and duet They render many unique
numbers Singing by the entire quartetie

DFNOUNCING THE TOBACCO TRICK

The tobacco growers of Virginia as we'll ax
the warehousemen and manufacturers who are
not blinded by their opposition to voting out the
saloon, clearly through the Tobacco Fake.
as Dr. Pitt very htingly calls 1t in the Religious
Herald. We print this morning resolutions
adopted by the Lunenburg Farmers Union, de-
claring the assertions and representations that a
fight is to be made on the growth manufacture
and use Of tobacco If Statewide prohibition pre-
walls 10 be absolutely false" and both de.
rouncine and condemning the Richmond To
bacco Trade and the Local Self-Goyernment As.
ISOLATION for adopting and distributing among
the people OF Virginia resolutions intended to
deceive and mislead" We also print state
ment signed by the members Of tho executive
members of the Tobacco Trade responsible for
the resolutions. which are declared to be an in.
suit to the intelligence of the farmers Of the
State
The action Of tho Lunenburg and Halifax
farmers is not surprising There was absolutely
10 classification for the action of a minority of
the Tobacco Trade in making the baseless charge
that the advocates of prohibition were planning
for war on tobacco The Vroinian repeats
its challenge to those responsible for the move
ment to furnish to the public any facts to justify
the statements contained in the resolution
adopted by them IT Is incumbent upon them
to do this and Justify their course II they can
or else they mus, rest under the imputaton
placed upon them by these two branches OF the
Farmers Union Of rracticing wful deception
The Local Self-Goyernment Association, which
gave such wide circulation to the Trades action.

Crush the Monster and Save the DAY.

Editor yireininn:
sr,-Tt is very sad. indeed. when men get to
The place that they will uphold thing that is
known to be destructive to the human race
Yet such is the case With those that uphold
the liquor trade 1t has redeemng features
1t destroys, and that is all that can be said of it
Now we Will see If we cannot prove this
Those that uphold the business present facts
and figures in attempt to prove their side
Now wish you to notice n few facts and
figures the other side. Study them for your
self and then If there Is any reason why
you should vote for the saloon
The people of the United states--practically
one-thrd Of the people Of the United States
consume more than two and one ighth billion
Gallons of intoxicants yearly. at a cost Of more
than two billion dollars. You can't grasp these
hgures No man can. Counting at the rate Of
one hundred a minute, ten hours day three
hundred days in year 1t would take more than
hfty-fiye years to count billion.
That colossal sum of two billion dollars would
give 100000 young men 5000 each to help
get an education. That two billion dollars
would build 1000, 600 schooihousesS at $4,000
each That two billion dollars would build at
cost Of $4,000 to the mile twenty Lincoln
boulevards across the continent from the ATTAIN
tic to the Pacific. and wouldd place upon these
great highways 100000 automobiles at an aver
age cost Of $1,000 car. But all the tramps
IN the land, all the unemployed could not do
the work.
Hard times, The curse and cause Of hard
times Is in the liquor traffic
The drink bill for one year in the United
States alone would put more than 81 90 into.
the hands of every man, woman and child on
the face of the earth, black and white brown
and red and yellow
The people of the United states drink more
than two billion gallons OF intoxcants every
year
hut not all drink There are many In wet ter
ritory that do not drink safely IL may be said
that less than half the people of the United
states consume more than two billions of gallons
# inoxtcants average annual cost of fifty
dollars to the drinkers
Counting Ave to the average family it costs
each family In the United States more than 500
year.
But half OF the families do nor drink The
rest Of the families in the United States paw on
the average of 5000 a year
That would buy ten loaves Of bread for each
family for every day IN the year: 1t would buy
ten suits of clothes at $50 a suit; ii would buy
nifty pairs of shoes at 81 a pair.
The pre-eminently overwhelming cause of
hard times is the drink traflc
1t increases crime
1t increases disease
1t increases public expenses
1t corrupts politics
1t promotes ineftciency
1t increases your taxation.
1t Is destroying the young men and women
OF America.
