Studies in Drunkenness
NO. I.

plev author of The Commercial Strength OF Great
Britain" The Trade of the World, etc, contributes
notable article on War and Drink. 1t is much
more Than report of the efforts of the governments
at war in Europe to lessen the drink evil 1t is a
study national character physical and moral, as re-
lated to the drink problem and should be read by
everyone who desires a broad and deep knowledge OF
this great problem
That it is the greatest, most complicated ana
most difficult problem of modern times will hardly be
disputed In its physiological and psychological as
pects it is puzzlng the leading scientists; III
its economic phase it is engaging the best MINDS OF
the business world the greatest statesmen are giving
it their earnest attention; labor leaders are sore
" perplexed with it's difficulties; moralists and
socioogists and in a word, thinkers the world over
are puzzling it over no other problem lhere
is not a man or woman in any walk OF lite, IN any
country or climate of any creed, who does not
have to face this problem both in his public and IN his
private life It is indeed the problem OF problems
Drunkenness has existed in all ages Of the world
but never before has drunkenness, with Its allied
vices been commercalized such gigantic scale
and exploited with such profit as during the
last half century, and for this reason, the problem OF

Mr. Whelpley's article is real contribution to
the literature of this subject. Perhaps part OF his

A Simple Story in Words of Five SyllabIes

On the blue sky's concomeration,
Is flung the great annunciatlon.
The King who is a bifurcation
Of fermentation and distillation,
Reads and knows its interpretatlo
For his speedy desiccation,
We have a plan or specification,
Or better named resolution
To amend the constitution.
Well enact the Prohibition
Of his hurtful propagation,
And his hateful Importation,
Stop his heinous expectation,
Stop his spirits TRANSPORTATION,
Stop his future transportation;
Or by railroad 1ocomotion,
Or by steamship navigation,
Or by trolley electri'cation,
Or by highest aviation,
Or by slowest percolation,
Or by slyest irrigation,
Or by noisy gurgitation,
Or hollow-legged DECENTRALIZATION.
Excepting this: his deportation,
In a schooner reservation,
With a ticket Communication,
To his natural destination.
With a perfect combination,
And with best of fabrication,
And latest cranking installation,
And self-starting application,
And with windshield insulation,
And with non-skid combination,
There will be no deviation
No interruption, no vacillation
No retroaction, no variation;
There will be no oscillation,
No intermission, no retardation;
There will be no regeneration,
Well enjoy the exhilaration
Of the greatest augmentation
Of swift acceleration,
AS we reach the approximation
Of this welcome realization.

LOCAL TEACHERS

PUPILS GIVEN HOLIDAY ON AC-
COUNT OF ANNUAL EVENT.
VERY HELPFUL.

The pupils of Mcdowell school were
given a holiday Friday and the teach
ers of the school made their annual
visit to the Nashville city schools.
The teachers first went to Peabody
College and from there they went to
Tarbox school, each teacher visiting
the department that most interested
them and which was in keeping with
the department they we're teaching
at Mcdowell. The day was pleasant
ly and profitably spent, and each
teacher reports that many new and
helpful ideas were gathered, and they
will all be put together and the most
useful and helpful features to the stu
dents here will be put in practice.

The question is one of greatest i'm
portance to notaries of the county
and their bondsmen for if there
should be a recovery in this case It
would mean that these officials in the
taking of Acknowledgements vouldbe
held responsible for every statement
made in the certificate,

the mortgage was forged, but that
the formal acknowledgment OF the
notary recites that the alleged max

WEBB MAKES STRONG
PLEA FOR ELECTION
LEA TO THE SENATE
ONE OF THE ABLEsT SPEECHES
EVER HEARD IN CO.
LUmBiA.
LOGICAL AND VERl FORCEfUL
Declares That Senior Senator Is One
of the Most Accomplished Young
Statesmen That He Has Ever
Known in Life.
Saturdays Daily.)

One OF the strongest. most logical
and most interesting speeches ever
heard in Columbia was that made
this afternoon by Former Senator ".
R. Webb at the court house. From
the very first Senator Webb had the
undivided interest and closest atten-
ton of his audience The speech was
probably the most powerful argument
for a candidate that has been made in
this city in years. 1t was convincing,
eloquent, full of bright. catchy cpl
grams and went straight to the point.
Senator Webb was very earnest in
his advocacy If Senator Lea He de-
clared that the latter was one Of the
ablest, one of the strongest and one
of the most accomplished young
statesmen that he met in Washing
ton. He saw him in the course Of an
hours argument change the attitude
of President Taft on a question vital
ly affecting the interests Of Tonnes
see He watched his power and in.
tluence in the committees; he saw
him in the presence of state counsel
lors and of members of the cabinet,
and in every position he reflected
credit upon this state.
The speaker declared that no
charge had been made against LEAFS
record in the senate except that of
absenteeism and that he did not
make any speeches. He showed how
Lea's absence, when paired, had not
changed the attitude of the senate on
any question. He declared that the
speeches made in the senate we're for
home consumption and never chang
ed a vote, that the real work was
done in committees.
In the course Of his speech he paid |
a high tribute to Lea for the unifica- |
ton of the democratic party and the |
election of Rye and said that Tonnes
see now had the best temperance law
of any state in the union and that |
Luke Lea was entitled to the credit |
and we'll all knew Il.

Prosperous Nebraska Merchant to
Glue His Time to Farming in Future

AURORA. Dec. 1L-tSpecial) AFTER
completing twenty-one years constant
labor as Hamilton county merchant.
J. II. Davidson locked the door Saturday
night and retired from that business for
ever BY reason Of sales held during the
last six weeks his $4,000 stock had shrunk
until he had just few odds and ends
when the end came. He would be glad
to take 5000 for the stock he has left.
Mr. Davidson started In business in
Aurora in 1924. just before the hot wind
OF that year came along to destroy the
crops of this county. His stock OF goods
at that time was invoiced ut $40 and
he was proprietor. janltor. delivery boy.
bookkeeper for his store.
From that small beginning in that year
OF famine Mr.. Davidson has advanced
until. when he decided to close out, he
had a department store employing thirty
clerks and doing a business OF $4,000 a
year. But he decided to Quit and retire
TO his fruit ranch near this city. lie sold
his stock and not his business and now
he is through, In the twenty-one years
of his life spent in business here his
trade expanded until he counted as his
customers many farmers outside OF this
county.
Mr.. Davidson was born in Monona,
Clayton county Iowa, fifty-nine years
ago. His father was a congregational
minister. a graduate of Yale college and
Yale Divinity school. In 1878, Mr. David
son came to this county and farmed for
three years. He then went to Sherman
county and took a homestead. On this
homestead he established a store, freight
ing his goods across the country from
Kearney Later the little town of Hazard
was established close TO his homestead
and he moved his store to that place.
He was compelled to sell out and quit
business about 1872 by reason of poor
health. But the lure OF tho store business
was in his blood and he came to Aurora
and bought out a stock of goods worth
$li0 Other merchants quit when the
hot winds came along, but Davidson
stayed. He saw hundreds of farmers
quit this country in those years. Many
others stayed because they could not gel
away. They are now riding around the
country in automobiles. while their neigh
bors who went back to Iowa and Illinois
are renters.
In 1901 Mr.. Davidson organized the J. r,
Davidson company. 1t had a paid UT
capital of 5000 His business grew and
