PROHIBITION EMPTIEs JAIL.

1T has surprised even the strongest
advocates of prohibition to see the eff
feet that law has had in preventing
crimes and misdemeanors in Greenlee
county" says the Clifton (Ariz.)
Journal
For many years the courts of this
country have been occupied with a
multiplicity Of cases, mostly resulting
from booze, and the several justice
courts have been kept busy sentenc-
ing prisoners to Jail or fining them.
For years the jails have been crowd
ed to capacity and the fines have often
run close to $1,000 in a single justice
court in one month. But conditions
have changed since the first of the
year. The jail has been empty at some
places a good share of the time; cases
have been few and far between, and
most of them were slight misdemean-
ors."

WARN COUNTRY EplroRsl

Falsehoods and misrepresentation
by the page, the column, or the para
graph are being sent out to the coun-
try press by the publicity department
Of the Liquor Dealers association of
Cincinnati, with the assurance that all
they desire is "a fair representation
of their side of the prohibition ques-
tion," and that the matter sent may
be relied upon absolutely. Every white
ribboner should feel personal respon-
sibility in warning the editors in her
community of the nature and source
Of these articles, and offer in their
place to furnish some of the excel
lent material sent out by the publicity
bureau of the National W. c. T. u

The HOTEL BAR.

THE HOTEL BAR.
1T is time we ceased to insult the
American public by insisting that
hotel caRpot be run without a bar"
These are not the words OF pro-
hibition fanatic but of the proprietor
Of a fine hotel and were spoken at the
annual meeting of the Northwestern
Hotel Mems association. The speaker,
Mr.. Leimbacker of Gardner, N. D.,
addressed the convention on "Prohibi-
tion an Economic Proposition" and
his vigorous handling Of the subject
called forth great applause. From
the manager down to the bell hop"
he said, booze makes more trouble
than any other one thing in our busi-
ness. If the causes for eight out of
every ten hotel failures were to be
carefully analyzed, liquor would be
found to be the rock on which the
business was shattered. 1t is an in
disputable fact that more managers
lose their positions on account OF
booze than through any lack of real
efficiency. The same may be found
throughout the crew."

RUSSIA ANSWERS.

when vodka was on sale the aver
age savings bank deposits in Russia
were in the neighborhood Of from &c.,
100000 year-a year, not a month.
In the thirty-one days of January,
1915, five months after the sale OF
vodka was prohibited-in one month
the former vodka drinkers put $30,000,-
900 into the savings banks'in the en-
pire. They saved nearly twice as
much in one month as they formerly
saved in a year." says Samuel G.
Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post.
The liquor interests Of the United
States are telling the people that ma
tional prohibition would mean the loss
of $250,000,000 to the treasury of our
national government" and are asking,
who will make up this revenue?"
Russia has shown the way. That ma
tion is demonstrating the soundness
of the policy expressed in these words
of William e. Gladstone-"Give me
sober people and l will provide the
revenue"

STILL ON THE JOB.

When national constitutional pro-
hibition has been secured won't the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
be out of a job?" queried a young
woman journalist of Miss Anna A.
Gordon, president of the National w.
C. 7. U. She was assured that our
organization, in common with all tenn
perance forces, would then enter upon
its most important task-that OF en-
forcing the prohibitory law and of
maintaining through education, agita-
tion and organization the high stand
ard of sentiment necessary for the
election of law-enforcing officials"

ed style Of Wearing Hat on
pack Of the Head.

An explanation has been suggested
of the style now prevalent among
men of wearing the hat on the back
OF the head.
The chief function for the hat ex-
cept for the bald is to shade the eyes,
but on city street there is seldom
any direct sunshine. and therefore
small actual necessity Tor shading the
eyes with the hatbrim.
Now comes the discovery OF an i'm
pelling motive to keep the hat on the
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1915-11-11

back of the head. This motive exists
In cities, even for the oldest resident.
Take New York, for instance. Inter
esting things are always happening
there above the level of the eyes,
things that people like to look at, even
while they pass along. II the hat were
worn low on the face the head would
have to be craned upward, and every
one would know that the person was
looking at a particular thing.
Whereas when the hat is worn on
the back of the head the eyes may
roam where they will. and an air Of
indifference and sang froid be pre-
served.
Here is an instance OF style which
seems an affectation having real
basis In utility.

MISSOURI DRYING UP.

More than half the people of Mis-
souri, live in territory absolutely dry.
For years more than half the territory
in the state has been dry, but the
large city population meant that a
majority of the people lived in wet
territory. AS the result, however. of
very recent dry victories 500 per cent
in Missouri's entire population now
live in saloonless territory. Between
rs and so per cent of the states ter
ritory is dry. Seventy-nine of the ia
counties are dry; nineteen dry with
the exception of one town of more
than $500 population. Sixteen coun-
ties and the city of st. Louis are the
only entirely wet localities in the
state.

Robert p. Skinner. American consul
general in london. as he appeared

its arrival at New York. Mr. Skinner
was summoned to Washington to give
the state department a flrst-hand re-
port on trade conditions in England
and the methods used by Great Brit
ain in divertlng and holding up Amer
lean commerce. He admitted that he
had heard the report that he was per
soma non grata in England, but said
he had no reason to believe he was,
and that before he left there several
calls were made on him that refuted
any such suggestion.

Photoeraphins a Mirage.

1t is possible to photograph a mirage
and obtain very good results. AS we
are told by Photographic expert, the
simplest way is to stop down the
lens to, say, U. 8. "a If. 32). and make
series of exposures ranging from
one-one-hundredth to one-twenty-fifth
Of second, depending upon the in
tensity of the light. The ray filter will
give better color values, and can be
used to better advantage. but this will
mean lengthening the time Of expos
