Now should the supreme court
decide that the law under discussion
is unconstitutional, what kind of
fix will honest people who desire to
abide by the law be in when the tax
ferret in future years comes along
and assesses their automobiles for the
years in which they have paid the
fees under this new law? Maybe you
won't have to come across when the
tax ferret tells you to. but the odds
are you will have to do so and will
Then at the end Of long piece of
red tape you may get your fees which
YOU have paid to the state back; but
1t may be you won't.
"Of course l understand some other
states have a license for automobiles
and such states collect the license
fees and issue the tax. But in such
cases you will find that it is a license
ana not a tax. Above i have not
intimated that Oklahoma cannot coll

She knelt down beside the sobbing

tried to comfort her.
She helped her cousin up and sup

with the convulsive force Of her half

whisper as she helped Ethel over to
the stairs. I'll watch by yer side till

She picked up the travelling bag, and
together the two girls began to ascend
the stairs.

The old lady raised her hand COM
handing Peg to stop.
1T was most kind of you to trouble

of the question"
Peg sprang up.
Jerry looked at her as if impIoring
her not to anger her aunt any further.
He shook Mrs. Chichester's hand and
said:
I'm sorry. Good night"
He turned and saw Peg deliberate
~ pointing to the pathway and indi-
eating that he was to meet her there.
Peg, left alone, hurried over to the
windows and looked out into the
night. The moonlight was streaming
full down the path through the trees
In a few moments Peg went to the
foot Of the stairs and listened. Not
hearing anything, she crept upstairs
into her own little mauve room, found
cloak and some slippers and hat
and just as quietly crept down again
into the living room.
She just had time to hide the cloak
and hat and slippers on the immense
window seat when the door opened and
Ethel came into the room. She walk
ed straight to the staircase without
looking at Peg and began to mount the
stairs.

gone in the excitement of the present
Pm studyin for an hour. Are ye
still angry with me? Won't We say
Good night Well, then, | will. Good

Pegs little heart beat excitedly.
The one thought that beat through
her quick brain was
"Will Jerry come back for me?''

Collinsville, Ill.-"I suffered from a

on working despite my suffering.

to try it, and within two weeks I
noticed decided improvement in my
condition and now am a we'll woman !"
Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
There are hundreds of nervous, rum
down, overworked women in this vicinity
who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, strengthening properties of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-
vous, rundown man or woman in this
vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our
guarantee to return their money if it
fails to benefit.

She looked ut him, laughed shyiy
and pressed her cheeks, he was
watching ner closely.
What are yon laughing att" he
asked

about friendship"

Peg sat III the piano and played very
softly the prelude to an old Irish song,
Jerry said surprisedly. "OE, so you

"Afther fashion Me father taught

An its about a girl who built a
shrine an she thought she wanted to
put Friendship into it. She thought

And Peg sang. in pure. tremulous lit
tie voice that vibrated with feeling.
the following:
"A temple to Friendship said Laura en-
chanted,

diviner
Her temple was built, and she now only
wanted
An image OF Friendship to place on the
shrine.

Peg simply. Tom Moore's one of me

Jerry repeated as though to himself:
WHO came but for Friendship and
took away Lover"
Isn't that beautiful" And Pegs
face had q rapt expression as she look
ed up at Jerry.

She nodded:

She nodded.
Have YOU ever felt it?' be went on.
"Al me life" answered Peg in a
whisper.
"As Il child, perhaps" remarked Jer-
ry. Some day it will come to you as
woman. and then the whole world
will change for you.

Mrs. Chichester came slowly down
the stairs, gazing. in horror at the lit

past the newell post she caught sight
Of her aunt She stopped dead.
What does this mean:" asked Mrs.
Chichester angrily.
Peg sank into a chair.
Jerry shook hands with Mrs. Chi

Assembly rooms tonightw
Certainly not" replied Mrs Chi

Il path when he saw all the lights
az disappear in the house
They walked across the lawns
and meadows on that beautiful July
night, with the moon shining down on
them.
Once at the great hall his mother put
the gauche little Peg at her ease, in
PRODUCED her to the most charming of
partners and saw that everything was
done to minister to her enjoyment.
1t was IL wonderful night for Peg
She danced every dance, she had the
supper one with Jerry. she laughed and
sang and romppd and was the center
of all the attention What might have
appeared DoldnesS in another with Peg
was just her innocent. Willful, child
like nature she made a wonderful
impression that night and became Il
general favorite. She wanted it to go on
and On and never to stop. When the
last waltz was played and enrored and
the ball was really ended Peg felt =
pang of regret such as she had not felt
for a long. long time.
'Oh. am so happy, SO happy! she
cried as Jerry led her back to her seat
at the conclusion of the last dance.
II wish could make the world one
great ballroom for you" said Jerry
earnestly.
do YEP" asked Peg TREMENDOUSLY.
IL do

livery dance with me?'
Every one"
wouldn't that be beautiful? An
no creepin' back afther it all like a
thief in the night
No replied Jerry. Your own mis-
tress. free to do whatever you wished
"Oh." she cried impulsiveIy. "wouldn t
that be Wondherful!'
His mother had come across to say
Good night" to Peg. In few mo-
merts his sisters Joined them. They
all pressed invitations on Peg to call
on them at Noels Folly and. with
Mrs. Chichester's permission. to stay
some days.
Back across the meadows and
through the lanes, under that marvel
Gus moon and with the wild beat of
the continental Waltz echoing from
the ballroom, walked Peg and Jerry,
side by side, in silence. After little
while Peg whispered:
Jerry, what were you goin' to say
to me when yer mother came up to
us?"
Something it would be better to say
in the daylight. Peg"
"Sure. why the daylight? Look at
the moon so high in the heavens
"Wait until tomorrow"
"1'll not slape wink thinkin' of all
the wonderful things that happened
this night. Tell me-Jerry-yer moth
er and yer sisters-they weren't asham-
ed o me. were they?"
"Why, of course not. They were
charmed with You"
"ShaIl | ever see them again."
81 hope some day you'll see a great
deal of them"
They reached the windows leading
into the living room.
"Good night. Peg" he said.
"What hurry We are in to get rid
O. me. An night like this may new
er come again"
Suddenly quick fash of Jealousy
startled through her.
Are We goin' back to the dance?
Are We goin' to dance the extra ones
We wouldn't take me back for?'
Not if you don't wish me to-
"Plaze don't" she pleaded earnestly.

Let People Know What
You Have To Sell

A farmer, who was carry
ing an express package from
a city mail order house, was
accosted by a local merchant:
"Why didn't you buy that bill
of goods from me? I could have
saved you the express besides
you would have been patronizing
home store, which helps pay
taxes and build up this locality
With characteristic frankness,
the farmer said: "Why don't
you patronize your home paper
and advertise? [ read it and
didn't know you had the goods
l have here, nor do | see your
name in the paper inviting one
to come to your store"
It is true that most times
farmers, as well as town peo-
pie, do not know they can pur-
chase cheaper at home than in
the cities.
An advertisement in these
columns will assist the trade
t-home movement as we'll as

war Grand Duke Nicholas, command
er in chief of the armies. insisted upon
it, He said mobilization would be inn
possible without it. 1t was IL bold step
to take. as the manufacture Of vodka
the favOrite Russian spirituous tipple
was the principal source of revenue
to the government and this was i'll
dire need of increasing rather than Of
decreasing the revenue at that moment.
But the effects have been so amazingly
beneficial that it is doubtful if the
general sale Of vodka will ever be re-
sumed, even after the war
In England an act of parliament will
probably be necessary. and the liquor
interests are so vast and so powerful
that the passage Of such an act will
be fought tooth and nail. There is an
other way, and Lord Kitchener is just
the man to adopt it If he can have his
will by no other means. This is to
declare martial law and order all the
bars, brewerie,. aistilleries and wine
shops to be closed.
The reason for this seemingly eZ-
traordinary measure in Great Britain
is the difficulty the military and naval
authorities have had in getting an AIDE
quate supply OF munitions of war from
the factories and dockyards There
have been strikes and disputes with
laborers. and the output Of many fac
tories has been far below what those
best able to judge considered it ought
to have been. This is especially true
of the shipyards. The original sug-
gestion that the trouble was due TO
drink is said to have come from the
owners of the shipyards.
However this may be. the fact re-
mains that Great Britain is fairly
hard drinking country. According to
Sir Thomas Dewar. 100000 persons
earn their living by making and selling
liquor. In the year 1913 the people or
the United Kingdom spent 1888, 4Oj.OOO
or more than SIC a head for every
man. woman and child-on liquor. This
is approximately the amount per capt.
ia spent in the United States. The
hardest drinking parts Of England are
the northern and western counties
the great mining and manufacturing
regions. The effect Of drink upon So
ciety may be judged from the fact that
in the years 1926 out of every 1000
inhabitants 651 were actually arrested
for drunkenness. and I'm the years since
1899 there has been an average of 2.S71
deaths year from alcoholism. of which
GO per cent were men and 40 per cent
were women.
The ratio of mortality from alcoholic
excess has increased 81 per cent among
males during the last twenty years and
among females It, has increased by no
less than 100 per cent.

Russian Drink, at the Outbreak of

Prohibition has had such
magical effect in Russia that the Brit

III France there is a strong agitation

sale of absinth has been stopped.
In Russia prohibition really prohib-

it will really prohibit. No distinctions
will be made between rich and poor.
