STIMULATION OF BUSINESS.

The Chicago Banker. bank periodi-
cal. gives under Iowa Banking
News" the following statement:
"Des Moines banks did a big bust
ness Saturday, supplying cash to mer-
chants and grocers. At first the cause
for the sudden demand for coin was
not apparent to the financiers. Then
they realized that the saloons of the
city had been closed week. Work

checks in the thirst parlors on Sat.

share OF the exchange In the saloon
keepers till were. instead, getting
them cashed in legitimate places of
business. Des Moines has been dry
two weeks now. II business has been
injured, as the vets so long predicted.
there is no evidence of that fact. AL
ready the merchants see a stimulation
Of business, and money which former
ly went for booze Is already beginning
to go for food and clothing and In the
payment Of honest debts"

OUT OF THE MUD.

OUT OF The MUD.
I'm 1912, when West Virginia was
one vast battle-ground for statewide
prohibition" writes Lora 8. LaMance,
National w. c. T. U. organizer. in the
Union Signal, Il spent seven months
in the state. In 1916, with prohibition
an accomplished fact, visited II
again. The change is marked. A blind
man could see 1t. Out from the prin-
cipal towns the land of muddy roads
is building here. there, yonder, paved
roads into the country. Almost every
mile has been built since the state
went dry. 1t is new experience to
the farmer, when the dirt roads are
almost hub deep In yellow clay, to
drive FIVE or ten miles into town on a
hard brick road. and get there with
team and carriage as spick and span
as when he. started. City streets are
being paved, parks are being laid out.
street car lines are being extended.
and new buildings are going up every
where. In some OF the smaller towns,
because the demand Is SO great,
houses are rented at extravagant
prices"

Everybody" observes a New York
woman, knows one or more OF those
conscientious cyclists who cannot Ri
themselves OF the notion that no
one can be trusted to carry out the
simplest details OF routine work with
out their personal supervision.
1T was one Of this sort who went
west. leaving in his brothers care
parrot OF which he was fond. All
the way out he worried about the
bird, and at Chicago he sent his
brother the following telegram:

COULD BUILD SIX CANALS.

COULD BUILD SIX CANALS.
An unusual sight and one not with
out special significance was that OF
Secretary OF State Bryan signing the
cards OF $4,000 men who had taken
the pledge OF total abstinence at one
of the Billy Sunday meetings, after
Mr.. Bryan's address against the drink
curse. His attack against the liquor
evil from the economic standpoint in
cluded the following statements:
1T is estimated that the people OF
the United States spend almost s2.-
500,000.000 annually on Intoxicating
liquors. The cost OF the Panama
canal. the most gigantic engineering
feat In history, was about $400, 900, 900.
Is 1t not appalling to think that we
spend for drink every year something
like six times the cost of the Panama
canal?
Il have endeavored to obtain an ac-
curate estimate of the amount of
money spent on education In this
country. and the figure given me is
S750,000,000. We spend for drink more
than three times as much as we spend
for education.
The annual appropriations OF the
federal government are a little less
than 81 ,250, 100000. This sum includes
the salaries OF all the public officials,
from the president down. All Of these
government agencies employed In ad-
ministering the federal government
of this great nation are operated at
an expense OF less than $3.50, 900, 900.
Think. II the mind can comprehend
1t, Of this nation spending twice that
amount for alcoholic liquors"

information about our sea coast and

In the future. To gain this informa-

Gated nature has just been constructed
by the bureau and placed In operation
in the headquarters at Washington

tained in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be mass OF little
wheels. knobs. cranks. chains and
glittering brass indicators. but the
new superintendent OF the bureau. Dr.
e. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll OF paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
OF these draws a line about the middle
OF the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record,
which Is $40 feet long and about six
inches wide. representing the tides for
year. the tide level at any time in
that period can be readily ascertained
