Aberdeen News:

| AD6FQeen news:
Aberdonians are awaiting with
interest the arrival Of the de
! cislon of the state supreme court
in the "wet" and dry contest.
Every little while a rumor has
been circulated in the city that
the decision has been given out,
and that it is "Wet, or "dry, :
as the case may be, but nobody
but the members of the supreme
court really knows what their
decision will be, and they arm t
telling-yet.
The News believes it to be a
fact, however: regardless Of what
the decision Of the Supreme
court may be, that if a vote were
taken on license question today,
after over six weeks experience
with Aberdeen as a "dry" town,
the vote in favor of it's continu-
ance in the dry column would be
very large indeed. The records
Of the police department for July
1914, are a most convincing
argument in favor Of a "dry'
town. The difference in the be-
havior OF the crowds of itinerant
Workingmen assembled here this
harvest as compared with those
who came last year furnishes an
OJher argument in favor Of a
"dry town.
One farmer who has engaged
the same man for several seasons
past relates that hitherto that
man has scarcely been worth his
keep because Of drunkenness
This year, with no saloons to
tempt him, the man has kept
sober and made the best work
man the farmer has. There are
many other of such instances.
Then, the bank clearings show
steady increase since July |,
over the same period year ago.
Business men report business
better, to
And there is no lack Of
country people on the streets of
Aberdeen, showing the puerility
Of The argument that a "dry'
town would drive trade away.

Edison Advises Americans to TO Slow

In an interview with a repre-.
sentative of the United press,
Thomas A. Edison predicts that
the United States is about to en-.
JOY seven years of unprecedent-
ed prosperity, prosperity that
will far exceed any hectic flush
resulting from immence foreign
orders for munitions of war. He
advises people to conserve their
recources, however, and advises
people and government to 60
easy in the matter Of Germany 5
submarine operations.
"We will agree Edison con-
tinued, "that many of Germanys
submarine acts outrageous.
They are acts Of which no nation
would be guilty that was not
mad. Germany is doing many
things in the war that it would
not do in normal times. It
would take lot from a man that
[ knew to be fighting mad to get
me to fight him.
Edison regretted that Ameri.
can citizens are adding to the
work and worries of the presi-
dent by embarking on belliger-
ent ships. Such have no right
to place US in a position that may
cause trouble. my advice" he
said, lis for American citizens
to stay at home or to travel on
neutral vessels.

 The time for these exercises is allotted in the schedule, with four, or later three hye-minute periods a day. This gives the children recreation at least every hour.
 Beginning with the third grade tho ex- ercises are more formal.

These are changed every two weeks, and are as definite as any other lesson. At signal from the teacher at the appointed time the children rise, and stand in the aisles by their seats.
