Ivory carvers of Canton.

There are in Canton, China, about
forty shops in which articles Of ivory
are made and sold. Each shop is
small; it consists usually of show
room that opens to the street, and a
back room where the cutting is done.
The industry falls into two stages
cutting and carving, says an English
paper. Tusks imported from Siam con-
stitute the raw material. These are
first cut by saw into shapes that are
suitable for the carvers to work on.
The cutting apparatus consists of a
wooden block or wise, a saw and a tub
of water. The workman fixes the ivory
firmly in the wise, moistens it with
water and cuts it to the desired thick
ness.
After the cutting is finished, the
workmen carve the pieces into shape
with knives of many different kinds.
All of them, however, have short
blades and long handles made OF bam-
boo. The carvers also use saws made
of wire and a gimlet worked by a
twirling apparatus of leather.
There are only a few expert ivory
workers in Canton; in fact, there are
said to be only six of them. An expert
carver seldom works in the shop that
employs him. He generally works In
his own house, and can earn about
thirty dollars a week in Canton cur

The Stevensons were rich and un-
happy. Their next-door neighbors,
the Martins, were desperately poor.
yet life was to them radiant dream.
The Stevensons lived in a big ten
room house, luxuriously furnished,
and had lots of money. David Martin
toiled as laborer at town iron mill,
and his frugal wife counted over ev-
cry penny twice before it was invest.
ed, thus close they were forced to
live.
But the Martins had treasure
Winnie, their adopted niece-and her
presence made the humble home glow
with sunshine and laughter whenever
she was within its precints. She
worked at store in the village as
cashier, but home talent was paid for
cheaply, and her contribution to the
household fund was quite small.
"Not very genial neighbors, those
Stevensons," observed Mr.. Martin,
coming home from his work one cold
December evening.
II fancy they don't consider US their
kind" returned his plain, practical
wife. MRS. Stevenson has nodded to
me once or twice, but only at dis
lance, and then quite sourly."
Stevenson himself came out of the
gate Of his house just as l passed.
continued Mr.. Martin. II spoke, but
he didn't answer me, although | think
he really was so distracted in thought
that he didn't know me-"

charitable way. 81 have heard that
they have great sorrow-a runaway

he was one of number killed in a

developed a tendency to SOW wild
oats. Petted by his father, idolized
by his mother, Warren Stevenson had
sadly disappointed his parents.
In a fight in gambling resort, he,
an onlooker only, had paid the penalty
for being in such place by receiving
bullet wound that stripped off the
top of three of the first fingers of his
left hand. This seemed to teach him
a lesson for a time. Then he fell
from grace again. He drifted into
the company of desperate burglar.
Innocently Warren was involved in a
case where a man was killed He
played the part Of the craven and be-
came a wanderer and fugitive from
justice. Within year the real MUIR
derer died in prison, shoufdering the
entire responsibility for the crime and
completely generating Warren.
His parents had then sought for
him everywhere, but their quest had
proved unavailing The news of his
death in the cyclone was the final
grief that broke their hearts. Be
reaved, broken down by sorrow and
regret, no marvel was it that they be-
came cynical, isolated and uncom-
panionable.
One evening neighbor came into
the home of Mr. Martin on brief
call. In the course of conversation
he brought up the subject of the unso-
cial neighbor, with the remark:

dread, the time when the
French armies might reach the
environs of Strassburg and be-
gin to lombard that ancient
capital Of Alsace-Lorraine, because
then one of the most marvellous works
OF civilization will be exposed to de-
struction or great damage. This is
the cathedral Of Strassburg, an archi-
tectural glory, "one of the choicest
Gothic visions ever dreamed Of by a
master mason"
During the war of 1870 the Strass-
burg cathedral was rather badly DAM
aged. The French established milf
tary signaling station in the immedi-
ate vicinity, which drew the shell fire
OF the Prussians. AS result, the
magnificent spire was torn from top
to bottom, and one projectile, grazing
the cross on the top, bent it sidewise.
This happened on the oath day of
August
No sooner was the war at an
end. however, than the Germans set
about the business Of repairing the
damage thus inflicted. The task oc-
cupied ten years, being not completed
until 1880.

AMAZING DECREASE
IN SALES OF LIQUOR
Immense Falling Off for Year
Ending June 80 Shown by
Federal Figures.

The sale of spiritous liquors for
the year ending June 30, 1915, was
14,9s3,323 gallons less than for the
year ending June 80, 1914
The sale of fermented liquors Cheer,
etc) was 6,35s,774 barrels less during
the year ending June 80, 1915, than
in the year ending June 80. 1914
The revenue from spirit and allied
taxes was s14,47s,477.94 smaller for
the fiscal year 1915 than for the fis-
cal year 1914. There was an increase
in the revenue taxes on beer of s12,-
247,4S4.27, due to the addition of so
cents per barrel to the tax in 1915.
But for this increase in the tax the
revenue from this source would show
a decrease of $6.S58,743.56.
The number Of retail liquor dealers
decreased by 1926; the number of
wholesale liquor dealers decreased by
672; the number of wholesale liquor
dealers in malt liquors decreased by
1,233; and the decrease in the number
of retail dealers in malt liquors will
bring total decrease of nearly 1900
liquor dealers during the year.
To what is this amazing decrease
due?
Not entirely to the states voting
dry in 1914 and 1915, for most Of these
laws have not gone into effect. Ari-
zona and West Virginia constitute
the only additional dry states in 1915
But the campaigns which resulted
in so many prohibition victories had
a great effect upon the tendency Of
the people to drink. Also. the popu-
lar education caused by the hostility
of warning nations to alcohol undoubt-
edly affected the popular conception
Of drinks relation to efficiency and
health.
The hundreds Of local option vic
tories decreased the consumption of
liquor largely.
Hard times" apparently had moth.
ing to do with 1t. The decrease in
revenues on other "luxuries" was very
slight in comparison with the de.
crease in the revenue from liquor.
In 1916. when the prohibition laws
enacted IN 1914 and 1915 go into ef.
feet, there is certainty of a tremen.
dous slump in liquor consumption.
Let the government look to its rev.
enues. To lean longer upon break

The Editor of The Press not be
ing certain as to the present status
of the Richards primary law, under
which he was appointed deputy
auditor for the purpose of regis

matter to Co-Attorney r. L.

quote the following from MIR.
Flickinger's reply, lack of time
preventing us from copying the
letter entire.
"Our supreme court handed
down decision few days ago
sustaining the McMaster primary
law and sustaining the right and
authority of the legislature to pass
it and thereby repeal the Richards
primary law even tho it was pass
ed by direct vote of the people.
Hence this McMasters primary
law is now and has been the prim-
ary law in force in this state since
March Is. 1915.

provides that registration books
shall be sent out on or before Feb.
lst of each even Numbered year and
shall be returnd by May 1st and
the election is not held until June.
81 am of the opinion that the
registration taken under the Rich
ards law could not be legally used
in an election to be held next June
under the McMasters law and
hence new registration will have
to be taken. The county auditor
will furnish books and supplies for
this new registration and will send
them out about Feb. 1st next.
You should register all voters
whether they have been REGISTERED

think there is no doubt but that
you are entitled to compensation
for all registrations taken on or be-
fore Mar. 18th '15 as that was the
day the McMasters law went into
effect and until that day you were
doing what you were duty bound
to do under the law then in effect
and are entitled to compensation
therefor. Whether you will be al
lowd for registrations taken after
Mar. IL 1915 under the Richards
law will rest with the county COM
missioners. OF course you are en-
titled to compensation for all reg
