Warning

The women of San Francisco are deter
mined to prevent the letting of a portion
of the fair grounds for the purpose of es
tablishiDg houses of prostitution and are
doing all in their power 20 stay the evil.
However the controversy ends, one
thing must be remembered. The vice
that sacrifices the girlaood and boyhood
of the country, and brings contamination
upon innocent wives and children-that
vice intends TO flourish somewhere dur
ing the worlds fair.
Let it be remembered that the country
will be secured for girls to supply the de.
mand of this nefarious business, and
every mears that is possible for men to
conceive will be used to ensnare and mis-
lead these girls 10 order to secure them.
Every girl should be warned against
advertisements of positions in San Fran.
cisco, for every place will he taken, and
the door that will be open for the strange
girl will be the door that leads to per-
dition.
The papers that do their duty to the
girlhood of the nation will publish the
warning, and women of every town and
city who would protect the youth of the
land will sound the alarm and caution
and guard the girls of their neighbor-
hood.

How War Ruins Farming

| In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side, he national farm paper publised
I AT Springfield Ohio, David Starr Jordan,
Presidento of Leland Stanford U University,
publishes most interesting article en-
titled "The Farmer and the War;, in
| which he shows how in the path Of ar
mics The producers becomes helpless.
He compares our peace-loving and pros
porous middle Western farming country
with Macedonia, which was physically
endowed as well as our middle West,
but which, unfortunately, has been for
1000 years in a position where war has
been constantly interrupted its develop
ment. In the following extract, taken
from this article. Doctor Jordon gives
picture of Maced )nia:-
"Fhere were no houses standing along
the road. Everybody lived in the vii
lagos, even though the lands were ten
miles away. And the villages were crowd
ed just as closely as the houses could
stand.
"And the farming was not very good.
The ground was barely scratched by the
pillow. Often in good land one would see
strips covered with blackberries and
wild flowers Other tracts are oyergrown
with scrubby oaks. and sometimes with
lilacs, although not big tree was lett
standing to make forest. The Turks
once held Macedonia, and it would seem
that they hated trees. The Chinese have
a proverb that where armies quarter
thorns and thistes grow, and armies !
have quartered in Macedonia for twenty
centuries. Aud for this reason there can |
be no good farms. The cattle are dwarf
ish and give but little milk. They are
used with the primitive European buffa-
10, as beasts of burden. Horses are few |
and small and mostly vicious. The |
sheep, the same breed they had in Sudea |
in Bible times, are handsome and active,
but carrying very little wool; a couple of |
pounds year would be big average"
"There wonld be no use in improving
the stock when the soldiers may come
any minute. And between bands of sol
diers come bands of biigands. A brig
and in Macedonia, as in Mexico, Korea
and China, is a farmer who has quit. If
ne can't make a living on the farm, or if |
some one has seized his farm, lie becomes
~ armed tramp.
"rbe farmer who is rich and prosper
,us today, may have to leave the country
on two hours notice, by the
light Of his blazing hQuse, with whatever
le can carry on his back"

THAT memberships in the popular

Quoted by two Rutland banks, come to
be considered as an asset in financial
transactions in this community, ~ like
an insurance policy, stocks dther
things of like character, is evident from
a complaint recently made to Grand Ju-
ror c. B. Costello. A woman informed
him that certain little boy had stolen
$500 from her last fair time. The ag-
grieved had called on the mother of the
child and was informed that the mother
was member of Christmas Club and
would pay the FLYER" back when the
bank paid her. Christmas came and the
member of the club received her money,
but she had spent it all by the time that
the victim of the thievery appeared to
remind her of her promise. She has

EMMY affirms that when she receives her
next payment, about Dec. Is, 1915, she
