For Harrison County This Year
as Never before is Dudder-
ar's1 Earnest Suggestion.

(By g. w. Dudderar, Secretary Of the
4 Clarksburg Board Of Trade).
Let's resolve that the year 1915, in
Clarksburg, Harrison county. West
Virginia, shall be the most prosper
Gus in the history OF our city, our
county and our state.
The realization OF this resolve is
largely within the power OF our man
ufact,rers, merchants and business
men.
The war in Europe has temporarily
embarrassed many OF our industries,
but has not reduced the desire OF our
hundred million peole for the prod
5ucts OF our industries nor has 1t re-
duced the desire of our people to
make and transport and sell these
products. Az
The resources of our nation are
unimpaired The producing power Of
our factories is undiminished. The
transporting abilities Of our railroads

Hest In the evangeiistic meetings
that are being conducted nightly at
the Central Christian church by the
Rev. n. F. Lutz, 81 washington, ID.
g. The church was well filled again
last night to hear the evangelist He
said at the outset that the series Of
sermons would have logical SEE
lquence to each other In the devet-
opment Of New Testament Christi
anity. s I: Z b
Y 1t was remarked by q nearer that!
.Mr. Lutz was very fair In his state
ments. His sermon last night wtfs
on the subject, Our Reasonable Ser
vice, 9 In which he pointed out that
It was reasonable. not only from the
Bible point of view but also the
scientific that we should serve God
and that as the spiritual life de-
pended much upon the subsection or
the bodily life to Gods truth, that
1t was not unreasonable the Scripture
should say present your bodies a
living sacrifice which Is your reil-
sonable service" =.
Miss Laura Thompson, who Is con-
Quoting the music, is proving very
efficient. She sang a solo last night
which was very touching and full Of
patfos. III 81;
The sermon tonight will be on a
subject which is full Of interest a
chart sermon on Change of Heart. 4, Z

Better Paint

Be5ter paint this year if your pro-
perty needs it. Mistaken men have
been waiting for paint to come-down.
The cost of their job has gone-up not
moi down; it always goes up by waiting;
never comes down.
Better point than Devoe? There isn't
any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 80
years ago for a better paint than
Devoe; how long would he have waited?
How long would he still have to wait?
The price gallon makes some diff
erence; yes, but not much; it's the
paint that counts; the quality counts.
It's the go-far teat counts. Protac-
ton OF property counts more yet.

COUNTY OPTION SUNSHINE

Mr.. Voter. you will be asked chad
you rather have blind pigs than re-
galar licensed saloon?'' Have the
forethought to say-If you must make
choice that you prefer the blind pig
to the licensed saloon. Ask why-Say
that you do not wish to be partner
in the saloon business.
The man who runs a blind pig, does
so secretly, and with fear of punish
ment and can be prosecuted for so do
ing.
The licensed saloon keeper is under
protection of the law but dispenses
more alcohol and more misery than the
blind bigger. Of two evils. choose
the least. But they will say, "you
harbor law breaking" You do not
need to-no community is forced to
support blind pigs. An open offender
of law is self accused when he does
business secretly. If you don't want
blind pigs. all you need to, do is to
see that your prosecuting attorney is
the right sort of a man on his job.
The man who is neutral, at time
when action is needed in a moral
issue, will probably get the reflection
of his cowardice in the same position
by some other man, when his sor
needs protection.
The neutral man is one who finds
himself in the belief that no one
knows he is on the wrong side of the
question. When a man is right. he il
always proud to say so.
The white swan of temperance be-
gan peaceful existence in Big Stone
Lake and lowered peacefully on the
fair Mirnewaska on last Monday.
The man who votes "wet" because
he wants license money to pave hi:
village streets and other luxuries O!
surroundings, should be made to liz
awake nights and listen to the hungr!
cries of the ill-clad children whose
fathers paid the license.
It's a better feeling to pay taxes
to maintain jails and courts for trying
criminals, insane hospitals or jag
farm at Willmar, than to invest I
smaller sum of money to keep VI
your village improvements.

No Barrels of Booze at Wheaton

The story having been circulated ir
Morris that the Wheaton freight re.
ceipts showed that barrel of wills
key per day is received at Wheaton,
the editor addressed an inquiry to E
F. Joubert, editor of the Wheaton
Gazette-Reporter, and received the
following reply
Editor Morris Tribune:-
In reply to your inquiry regarding
the receipts of whiskey at Wheaton
the fact is that there have been M
shipments of liquor in bulk received
at Wheaton in the past three months
and there have been no shipments O!
liquor of any kind received at the
Wheaton station except a few small
packages for private use. These
statements are made on the authority
OF Mr.. E. ]. Kay. the railroad agen
here, and he authorizes the use oil
his name.
Wish you would further say tia
SIX years ago, the floating and bond
ed Indebtedness of Wheaton wa
$33, 900 and is now only $751;
after being dry six years. Take
are less now than they were whel
the village was wet.
Wish you would notice also hoy
strong Wheaton and the township O
Lake Valley went dry last week
Six years ago the farmers in thi
township would have voted just a
strongly wet, and you can't make
too strong as to how the sentimen
has changed during the six year
while the town has been dry.

Investigation of official railroad re-
cords shows that during the time these
blind piggers were operating, more
than one barrel of whiskey per day
was sold in Wheaton. No liquor license
was paid. AS is usual in "dry" ter.
ritory. How many fights, divorces.
and crimes; how much poverty anc
disease do the blind piggers cause
Their business is to sell only. Min
ors. inebriates, boot-ieggers who dis
tribute liquid death in the form Of
adulterated whiskey are their source
of revenue. When you have saloons
the law regulates the trade. Wher
you have county option it means
blind pigging and illicit traffic.

sioner of Internal Revenue for 1914

you are hot TO get cool and you take
it when you are cold, to get hot it is

If Stevens county goes wet and
saloons one hundred fifty miles away,
the automobile, with gasoline in the
carburator and alcohol in the chauff-
eur, would be more dangerous to
Stevens county people than the sub
marine, on the high seas.
