The greatest problem that con-
fronts our.people at the present
time is that of dogs. In the
language of our forefathers,
there are dogs, more dogs and
lots of dogs; in fact a stranger
visiting our town sand unac-
quainted would declare without
hesitation, that he. had got off at
an Indian village, where there
are always ten dogs to every
Indian.

Every community is cursed
by class of people who make it
their business to attend to every

A CONTRAST.

AVN I AAA0As
Most of the opponents Of equal
suffrage scorn to be bound by mar
row consistency. In the debate in
Congress the other day over prohibit
ton. the nationwide prohibition
amendment received the votes of
many Southern members. most OF
whom have been understood 20 be
opposed to the nationwide woman
suffrage amendment on the ground
that it would be morally wrong for
three-fourths Of the States to cOerce
the remaining fourth. That depends,
n seems, on what is the question at
stake Their attitude recalls that OF
the minister described in a recent
issue of the National Monthly:
A certain preacher was in the
middle of his sermon one Sunday
night when fire alarm broke the
attentive stiffness Of the sanctuary.
"Sit stilli" he cried 10 his disturb
ed congregation. IF there is a fire,
the Lord will take care of His own,
and not let anything happen that
shouldn't"
Just then two children, who had
stepped outside, shrieked.
"Oh. it's the parsonage! It's the
parsonagei"
Without a word Of farewell. that
preacher made a wild bound from
the pulpit and struck out for his
burning residence.

For at the next instant something

the purpose of opposing resistance.

that the Russians who had so sud

WRIGHT SALE GETS
SUCCESSFUL START

The great sensational reduction
sale prompted by the extended back
ward season got a successful start
on Thursday at James II. Wright's
store at Eighth and Market street.
The goods offered are new, fresh and
seasonable and when one comes TO
consider that nothing offered has
been in the Wright store longer than
eight months II is no wonder that
the crowds are eager for an oppor-
tunity to get in and look over this
stock so that all needs can be filled
at considerably less than even ordin-
airy wholesale prices. The sale will
continue for about two weeks, but
early shopping is advised that pat
rons will not be disappointed by de-
pleted stocks.
