DRYNESS IN WEST VIRGINIA

West Virginia has been under prohibition for a year. The state
has the most drastic law in the Union. Moreover, it has pu6hc officers
determined to enforce it, states the Syracuse Post-Standard.
The report OF one ear under prohibition shows a decline in PLAIN
drunks arrested of 553. This is suggestive, but nsuh1cien The
experiment OF West Virginia is ar more interesting than that OFT the
southern states where prohibition is practically class Legislation, or OF
Kansas, a agricultural state. Vest Virginia is a n industrial state m
which the success OF prohibition would answer many questions that the
southern and western trials OF it have not Therefore, we are hopeful
that West Virginia has kept acct rate statistics OF the consumption of
intoxcants, OF sales OF drugs, q crime, OF saving banks deposits, OF
economic conditions generally, o. the efficiency OF labor There is IN
every nolicense campaign prom sc OF the great results that will be
accomplished in the physical, m C al and economic Improvement. Can
not West Virginia tell u how for these promises AVE been fulfilled,
if at all, by its experience?

WHAT WAR COSTS THE PRESS

The opinion is not uncommon with the public, says the Pioneer
Press, that wars are as remunerative as a gold mine to the dali! news
papers. This, Of course, is entirely erroneous. The circulation may
take a squirt, but that is the ne item N the credit side Of tn ledger,
while it "a in no way offset the many debit items which are the direct
Or indirect result of war.
On the other hand, the daily papers must pay enormous sums 20
special correspondents and or extra news service and cable and tee-
graph tolls, while, Oh the other hand, "a generally means a big loss
due to the slump in business accompanying hostlihes, even hostites
which do not directly affect this country. The Fourth Estate, a maya
zine devoted to the interests OF the daily press OF North America, esi-
that the daily newspapers OF the United States and Canada, lur-
through these different sources. And ii the United States should be
involved the losses would be V greater. In the light OF these facts,
it need hardly be stated that the interest OF the daily press lies IL the
side of peace.

MONUMENT TO MEltORY Of MARX TWAIN

A monument to the memory of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who
W a known a Mark Twain, has been erected by the state of Missouri
at Hannibal. a city in which this famous writer spent his boyhood and
much of his later life. The mo lument occupies a commanding posi-
tion in a park N one Of the highest of the Mississippi river bluffs.
The location is singualy appropriate, since it commands IN extensive
view Of the river on which Mark Twain served for min years as a pilot,
md overlooks the scenes Of two of his most widely read books,
IJukleber Finn" and THE Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
Nevada at one time had the opportunity of securing a statue o.
MARI Twain. to cost $4,000, j. r. Rodgers of New York having offered

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN IT'S YOU
If you want to live in the kind OF a
town
Like the kind of town you'd IKE,
You needn't slip your clothes IN grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left BEHIND
For there's nothing that's really
new,
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made, by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the deao.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too.
! our town will be what you want TO
see.
It isn't your town-it's you

DO YOU KNOW?

How old are you? When were you
born? See If you really know. See if
your children know how old they are.
Do not laugh at these simple ques-
itions until you try the test. Assume
that you were born on March 10th,
and that you are 16 years old, in what
year were you born?
According to a recent issue of the
public health reports, 1t is common
occurrence to find school children,
even high school pupils in the junior
and senior years who cannot tell how
old they are, or who, IL they know
their age, cannot tell accurately in
what year they were born.
You will need this Information when
you apply for a marriage license, or IN
registering for voting; or in seeking
"a government position; or in case you
claim that you are heir to fortune
that is going to some other person.
You may have to go under oath as to
your age when you pay your customs
duties upon return from your next
European trip, SO you should practice
up.
In some of our states there is no
birth registration, 50 you may not be
able to prove from the records that
you ever were born. This might be
embarrassing to you il you want to
marry in Europe
Perhaps the easiest way TO remem-
Der your age is 10 form some jingle or
ryhme on your birth year. For in
stance: In 1897 little Johnnie came
from heaven" or In 1882 Little Susie

In the Pictorial Review DR.. 0. ..
Marden has an article on Mothers.
He says in part, speaking OF the rev.
erence that ought to be paid, you owe
it to your mother
To lift all the burdens you can
from shoulders that have grown stoop-
ed in waiting and working for you.
To seek her comfort and pleasure
in all things before your own.
Never to intimate by word or deed
that YOUR world and hers are different
or that you feel in any way superior
to her.
To manifest an interest in whatever
interests or amuses her.
To make her a partaker, as far as
your different ages will permit, in all
your pleasures and recreations.
To remember that her life is monot-
onous compared with yours, and to
take her to some suitable place of
amusement, or for trip to the coun-
try, or to the city II your home is in
the country, as frequently as pos
sible. s.
To introduce all your young friends
to her and to enlist her sympathies
in youthful hopes, projects and plans,
so that she may carry youth into old
age.
To defer to her opinions and treat
them with respect, even il they seem
antiquated to you in all the smart up
to-dateness of your college education.
To talk to her about your WORK,
your studies, your friends, your
amusements, the books you read, the
places you visit, for everything that
concerns you is of interest to her.
To treat her with the unvarying
courtesy and Difference you accord to
those who are above you In rank or
position.
To bear patiently with all her pc
culiarities or infrmities of temper or
disposition, which may be the result
of life OF care and toll.
Not to shock or pain her by making
fun of her religious prejudices if they
happen to be at variance with yours,
or if they seem narrow to your ad-
vanced views.
To study her tastes ana habits, her
likes and dislikes, and cater to them
as far as possible in an unobtrusive
way.
To remember that hes is still girl
at heart so far as delicate little at
tentions are concerned.
To give her flowers during her life
time and not to wait to heap them on
her casket.
To make her frequent. simple pres
ents. and to be sure that they are ap-
propriate and tasteful
To write to her and visit her
To do your best TO keep her youth
full in appearance. as well as in spirit.
by helping her TO take pains with her
dress and the little accessories and
details of her toilet.
IL she is no longer able to take her
duties, not to let her feel that she is
Or has lost any of her
as the central factor in
the family.
Not to forget to show your appre-
citation of all her years OF self-sacri-
fee.
To give her credit for large part
of your success.
To be generous in keeping her sup
piled with money. SO that she will not
have to ask for it, Or feel like a men
6fcant seeking your bounty.
