The traffic in Intoxicating IL
quors as beverage is no longer
question: is an issue-a pol
itical issue. Being ushered in
and countenanced by political
parties, it must therefore, be de-
throned by political parties, and
in order that it shall not again
usurp and become a power is is
necessary that a party with pro-
hibition principles be in charge
of all the departments of gov
eminent, both state and nation
al.
A union of all the temperance
forces can give the death-dealiig
blow to the traffic. The Pro-
gressive accords with the party
or parties that come out openly
for this principle.

Observation-Disclosures

A girl had a proposal. of mar
rlage Sunday night, and asked
a week to consider it before an
swering. She then organized
herself into an investigating
committee and began taking
testimony from married ladies
OF her acquaintance. The first
one she visited used to be a belle
and the most admired girl in
town before she married six
years before. The cross-exani-
nation brought out the fact that
she had six children, did all her
own work, including washing
and ironing, and hadn't been
down town for four weeks, and
that her husband had given her
but 81 since she married, and
that he had borrowed and forgot
to pay back $40 which hef broth
er once gave her for Christmas
present, He bought himself a
new overcoat with the money,
while she wore the same plush
coat which she wore when he
was counting her. Another wo-
man whom she visited quit
teaching school three years ago
to marry "the handsomest and
best-dressed man in town. and
she was supporting him. A
third didn't dare say her soul
was her own when her husband
was around, though she used to
write some lovely essays when
she was at school on the "eman-
cipation of women" and the
fourth woman she visited was
divorced. After visiting them
and summing up the evidence,
she went home and wrote the
young man. She will be marri-
ed next month.

BOOST A LITTLE BIT
Anyone almost can be knocker

Anyone almost can be a knocker;
It's easier to tear down than to
build,
So why not try your best to be
booster?
With pessimists the worlds already
filled.
You can't expect that things will
always suit you:
In melancholy judgement then you
sit?
No. Better far to help along little;
Better far to boost little bit
1t never pays to join the anvil chorus,
Or spread unkind reports about
your town;
Many there are to hamper and retard
it,
Who do their level best to run it
down.
What if it has its little failings?
1t has it's good points, also-hasn't
it?
80 why not to the wheel adjust your
shoulder;
Why not get out and boost little
bit?
A churlish dog may bay them on in
anguish;
The frog must croak, for nature
willed it so,
The mules were placed on earth to do
the kicking
CAS- any good zoology will snowy
The good Lord has provided for the
knocking,
So if wider groove you long to fit,
Adopt this as motto: "BE A
BOOSTER"
And then get out and boost little
bit.

THE LIvABLE TOWN

Why are so many country
towns going backward? Dur
ing the past 10 years $50 towns
in middle western state have
decreased in population. The
rural districts Of another have
lost 10000 people. Practical
ly every other middle western
state has sufferd in the same
way, and it is believed that
shortly every state east of the
Rocky mountains will face this
condition. At the same time
every large city in these states
has shown a remarkable growth
in population. This indicates
that theyoung people of the rural
districts and small towns are
dissatisfied with conditions, and
gravitate to the larger towns be-
cause of the pleasures and bet
ter living conditions they hope
to find there. Until we make
our small towns attractive we
cannot hope to hold the young.
people. There must be amuse-
ments for them. We must stop
the continual nagging, the pas
sage of narrow laws, the con-
tant fretting of the older people
who see in the pleasures of
youth eternal damnation and the
need of morality. Times change.
and with them goes the narrow
ness of puritanism. Encourage
the young people in all the harm
less amusements of the day. re-
CARELESS of what you did when
young or what your parents
taught you to do. This is a new
generation we are trying to
keep in the small towns, and
youth demands it's play. Be
broad and liberal. Narrowness
in teaching or by law can only
result in disrespect for authority
and law; in making harder the
lives of those who don't think
as we or in driving them entirely
out of the community and to
those places where they can have
some freedom of thought and
action.

A sTRATLING NOVEL
''The Pirates of the sky to Be Pub
Iished in Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The most thrilling and momentous
novel written since Rider Haggard's
*King Solomon's Mines" is "The Pr
rates of the Sky" a speculative tale
of fiction by Stephen Gaillard, who
writes Of the possibilities Of aircraft
in brigandage. With a well-worked-
out-plot the author has shown what
might ensue if outlaws were to gain
control of the largest and swiftest
aeroplanes known to the world. The
story tells Of raids on the principal
American cities, where with bombs
and gunnery the inhabitants were
terrorized and then the banks looted,
etc. Millionaires and women are kid
naped and carried off to an inaccessi-
BILE valley in South America. The
band of cultured outlaws has sworn
to overturn all governments. The
chief is Russian Nihilist. Dissen-
sions and intrigue enter the oath
bound society, and it's disintegration
has already begun when an Indian
aviator and Chicago newspaper re-
porter find the lair and with the help
of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
clear the world, of its greater enemy.
A pretty love story runs through an
all-absorbing plot. 1.-THE Pirates of
the Sky will begin serials publica-

Many now realize the fact
that growing of pasture grasses
and forage crops that make
healthy, vigorous hogs of good
quality is the basic factor in
successful pork production.
They are raising hogs at big
profit. Of course those who are
successful realize the fact that
certain amount of grain feed is
needed to grow hogs with a
greater profit, but they use this
grain only as supplement to
the feeds harvested by the hogs
in the pastures and fields.

PoLITENEss PAYS

Perhaps we are too apt to re-
gard politeness as a mere We
neer. The pleasant smiles, the
spirit of helpfulness, the ready
sacrifice are not of the exterior
alone.
A good manner, like the good
nature that is a part of it, is
not a thing to be thrown off and
on with a dress coat. 1t is of
the man as the aroma is of the
rose, says the Quincy Journal.
The polite man is at a tremen-
dous advantage. He can win ia
vor and fortune under circum-
stances where the loose-manner-
ed and slovenly-spirited is left
to grumble in failure. 1t is not
altogether because Of his polit-
ness. 1t is chiefly because of
the sterling character that lies
back of it and gives it birth.
Politeness is a good capital in
any business. A Cleveland
street car conductor has proved
it so and SO has every other man
who ever made good manners a
part Of his equipment.
This conductor gave little
better service than he was sup
posed to be paid for. He was
careful of the comfort and safe
ty of the children, the ladies, the
old men and the cripples who
rode on his car. He met queru-
lous complaints with pleasant
smiles and kindly words.
He collected no more fares for
the company than any other con-
ductor. He was no more effici-
ent and faithful in other respect
than perhaps hundreds of his
fellows.
But, somehow, that one adj
vantage was sufficient. In his
kindness to his passengers he
was unconsciously kind to him
self. He came to be selected for
special runs where courtesy was
of special Importance. And
now he has been made a dis
patcher.
| He has won his way to good
place by his politeness, ejust as
millions of other men have done
in other lines before him and as
millions more will do in time to
come. y
Politeness pays.
/ 1t attracts friends and good
fortune.
1t is well-spring of we'll
wishes.
1t creates about a man an at
mosphere in which ''luck" loves
to linger.
Most of us seem to think the
world owes us much and that we
owe the world nothing. We
seem to be on our guard against
giving any more in service than
we are actually paid for. Even
our smiles we reserve unless we
see chance to coin them into
ready cash. We go through life
grabbing and grummbling, Civ
ing nothing to employer or pub
lie, but what is specifically called
for in the contract.
And there is wishes we make
serious mistake. Only as we
lift others do we lift ourselves.
Only as we bring joy into life do
we really live.
