DECLINE in MOVING
Marks FALL SEASON
Convenienees of Modern Washington
Apartments Keep Tenants Satised.

Washington's fall moving season is
at hand. but there's not much moving.
Washingtonians don't move as often
as they did few years ago.
Charles w. Fairfax. realty broker,
with offices at 1S42 New York avenue
northwest, is authority for the state
ment. And Mr.. Fairfax ought to
mldabIe length.
mo, Washingtonians don't move as
often as they used to-" said Mr.. Fair
fax last night. "A few years ago
there was great unrest among tenants
throughout the city. But the ad-
vances made in the construction of
apartment houses and private dwell
ings have eliminated this spirit of un-
rest. Modern conveniences, such as
electric light, steam heat, sanitary
plumbing arrangements, artistic deco
ration and scientific home planning
have made even the least expensive
of the modern dwellings and apart
ments extremely desirable. and NOV
ing has decreased to a surprising ex-
tent
Most OF the new apartments and
private houses are being rented to
persons who have just moved to
Washington. or to persons who are
quitting quarters where they have
lived for so long that the structures
have become antiquated. There are
very few persons shifting from mod
ern structure to modern structure.
The moving season usually is at
it's height during the latter part of
September. This is due in part to the
fact that the leasing year for most
apartments and houses commences Oc-
tober l or November l. 1t is also the
period when hundreds of people are
returning from their summer vaca-
tions, and are planning to settle down
for the winter. This year the moving
season will be delayed several weeks.
owing to the delay in the opening of
school, caused by fear OF an infantile
paralysis epidemic.
The political situation is booming
the realty market Many realty bro
kers and realty investors feel certain
that there will be a change in admin
istration. and this is looked forward
to as a business asset This view is
maintained not primarily because they
believe the Republicans would foster
business to any larger extent, but be-
cause the reaction of a change is al
ways profitable. A new administra-
tion would bring to the city new peo-
pie and new enthusiasm and would re-
suit in a great boom for local real es-
tate"

INVESTING PLAN aims
TO ENCOURAGE THRIFT
Federal National Bank Offers Bond
Buying Opportunity.

One Of the best saving propositions that
has ever been advanced 10 the people
Of this city is the bond buying oppor-
tunity recently adopted by the Federal
National Bank.
In speaking OF the plan. President
John Poole, Of the bank says:
The object in Offering this partial pay
ment investment plan 70 the public is
that we feel that il is the plain duty
OF our bank to give substantial help and
sound finanCill advice to the people ot
this community: to assist them to save
money and to get ahead financially.
Saving the cash itself is a splendid
plan. but saving It by investing. as offered
in our partial payment plan. increases
the determination OF people to keep on
saving. and It gives more profit, too. The
plan Of buying sound conservative bonds.
paying for them in small sums as the
money is available. has met with instan-
taneous success. because the investor
realizes that he is not only accumUlat-
ing a surplus, but is earning five per cent
or more on every dollar put in, from the
day he starts.
For instance. II they invest sc0 70
start, they earn five per cent on that
$50 at once. If their monthly payments
are S. s OF 3. or whatever the sum
may be, they earn five per cent from
the dates the payments are made.
The psychological effect OF it is that
they realize they are becoming the own
ers Of sound investments. The sense OF
proprietorship is a tremendous incentive
to save. Nobody doubts that a com
punity is healthiest when its people are
thrifty.
In order TO afford every opportunity.
and to encourage them TO save the same
rate Of interest is charged on the de-
ferred payments that they receive on
their bonds. There IS but one real re-
strictiun. and that is as TO the ETade
Of the security. It must be high for the
beneft Of the investor as we'll as the
bank"

Here Is tho Reason.

Why Vermont voted against prohi- bition by vote of nearly two to one is explained as follows in the Cincin- nati Enquirer:
 Vermonts declination of the invita- ton of the Anti Saloon League. that had caused the passage by the legisla- ture of the Perry law" to join the column of phobibition states, has oc- casioned considerable surprise in var ious directions. The emphasis of it, as shown in the figures of the vote on the question as submitted to the vot- CTS, is surprising to even the Green Mountain people. In the last presi- dential election Vermont cast 620O7 votes, of which 1,154 were for the pro- hibition candidate. In the last elec- tion for governor, in 1914, the prohibit ton candidate received 1,074 votes. In the special election, early this month, on the liquor question in real earnest there was a total of 50,606 votes. of which 32,1s1 were against prohibition and 1S,475 for the measure.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-10-05
Big Vote Out.

At the same time there was an elec- tion on direct primary, which carried by a small majority The election on prohibition drew out 5000 more votes than that on the direct primary. Only 45 out of 246 towns" as the voting districts are called, gave prohibition majorities. Most decidedly Vermont has concluded to retain the local op- tion law of 1903, which was indorsed by a majority of 729 in the whole rtate to take the place of the original prohibition law, following the Maine liquor law of 1S46 and 1851, to which lhis state, in 1852 gave majority of r170 votes.
 Considerable interest attaches to the course of this state in some things. Vermont was the first state admitted 10 the union under the federal consti- tution--in 1791-and was the first state not only to abolish what little African slavery there was within it's
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-10-05
Liquor Men Active.

Significance connected with this election and the positive result of it lies in the fact that there was no spe- cial effort on the part of the liquor interests in opposition to that of the Anti-Saloon League. Only one county out of the fourteen, that of Orleans, which touches the Canada line, gave a majority for prohibition. Evidently the large majority of the voters be- leve in home rule by towns or counties in this business.
 The people of Vermont were gener- ally moderate in the use of stimulants, but under prohibition they inclined to wink at infractions of the law. Many of them believed in personal liberty in the use of rum brought in from the Atlantic states and of the white whls- ky from Canada. Lager beer was unknown to them in those days On certain occasions the sturdy farmers managed to get their egg-nog, tom and jerry or something straight, as at town meetings or county fairs, but without much excess. And today, in the districts wet by local option, there are not to be seen many evi- dences of overindulgence.
 Bad for Dry Wave.
 Comment from Montpelier tells us that it had been generally supposed that Vermont would go dry" and there, as elsewhere in that state, peo- pie are still engaged over analysis of figures and conjecture as to conditions to account for the formidable resist | tance there presented to the wave of state wide prohibition sweeping over the country. One of the weak reasons assigned is that the proposed law made no provision for use of alcohol for either medicinal or mechanical purposes \ better one is perhaps found in the fact that the people, as a whole, prefer local option; that the counties or towns should attend each to it's own business. The dry dis tricts find present conditions quite satisfactory, with the belief that they will continue to have better protection of their views than they would have under state prohibiton.-Advt.

WHY VERMONT VOTED
 AGAINST PROPHETIC

Throughout the entire United States the leading phase of the wet" and dry" question discussed by the edi- torial writers in newspapers is the tremendous defeat of the prohibition forces in Vermont.
 Numerous newspapers venture the opinion that the downfall of prohibi- tion in the Green Mountain state is a forernnner of the breaking of the dry" wave, and a positive indication that the sentiment of American people is against national prohibition.
 Some writers declare that Vermont CTS cast their ballots after careful consideration of the present status of the present nineteen dry" CD states It is stated that inasmuch as boot leggers," "moonshining' and the op- eration of blind tigers" and blind pigs" in prohibition territory enable citiens to beat the dry" law, there wasn't much use in putting a prohi- bition law that does not prohibit. on the statute books.

The fact that three Marshal county
boys have won prizes and honors for
their work along agricultural lines,
suggests the unlimited possibilities
that farming affords to the young
man Of today. There is no surer,
safer nor healthier way for young
man to acquire a competence and a
home of his own than by the cultiva
tion of the soil. Take hold of these
opportunities instead Of grabbing at
the will-o'-the wisp offered by other
occupations. Scientific farming is a
vast field and gives opportunity for
the exercise Of talents Of high degree.
There is always something to learn
for one having an open, inquisitive
mind. The occupation of farming also
gives character and standing, social
~ and financially, to a young man,
who pursues it with earnestness and
determination to succeed.

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May be Investigated.
Testimony of Warren Citizens.

When a Warren citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
Of a Warren resident. No stronger
proof of merit can be had.
w. O. Holcomb, Warren, says: Il
had been subject to attacks of pain
in my kidneys that almost floored me.
was troubled by dull, heavy ache
across the small of. my back and in
my hips. I could not stoop over to
pick up anything. without having a
sharp crick catch me in the small of
my back. I was laid up at home for
week unable to work. My kidneys
were irregular in action. Nothing
helped me much until I got Doan's
Kidney Pills. Several boxes remov-
ed the trouble in such fine manner
that can get around as we'll as ever

A small cOterie of editors at the
recent meeting of the Minnesota Edi-
torial Association, have placed the
association in a false light by trying
to create the impression that the as
ISOLATION endorsed Frank B. Kellogg
for U. s. Senator against Moses E.
Clam. Nothing of the kind was done.
Politics is entirely tabooed at the
meetinos Of the editors. The less
than fifty present and past editors,
who as Individuals are alleged to have
signed the Kellogg petition are not
one-cixth Of the associations mem-
bership. Mr.. Kellogg NAV be an able
man and all that, but his corpora
tion connections in the past have not
been instrumental in placing him in
close touch with the common people.
Mr.. Clapn, on the other hand, enjoys
the confidence Of the people Of the
state to a marked degree. Another
rather underhanded scheme that was
worked by the twin city papers was
to make it appear that the associa-
ton knocked the primary law. No.
thing Of the kind was even dreamed
of. It is poor cause that needs to
resort to Misrepresentation in order
to win. The primary law is not per-
perfect by any means, but it's aim
nevertheless, is to give the people a
chance to rule. It does not always
succeed, and one reason is because
the people as a whole take so little
interest in political matters.

Mr.. Flowers has always kept his aim
one he began lecturing. Later he be-
came interested in dramatic literature,
producing Ben Hur as a monologue
four years before it was staged. For
fifteen years his interpretations Of
great authors have set standards in
the lyceum. He is, perhaps, Americas
ranking artist in dramatic OratOry.
In 1908 he entered the field of political
oratory and at once stepped in the
first rank. In 1913 he produced lee
ture on the Japanese problem in Amer
lea which was pronounced by high
authorities an American classic. Mr..
Flowers is irresistible in argument
faultless in reasoning, chaste in the
choice or English, graceful in gesture
majestic in poise, and winsome in per-
1onality. He electrifies, awakens and
Inspires his audiences and leaves them
exhilerated and moved to action.
Henry Ward Beecher said, "The real
benefactors of mankind are the men
and women who can lift their fellow
beings into the realms of their best
selves; who make them forget their
corn and bank accounts, and bid them
feast at beings banquet" Great novel
lists, great poets, and great lecturers
can do this. Flowers belongs to the
class of the great ones.

The Declaration of London dates
from 1909 and was intended to cover
all questions which had arisen or
might arise under international law as
interpreted by the signatory powers.
It was never ratified, but the United
States at the outbreak of the world
war asked the belligerents to abide by
it's provisions so far as neutral inter-
ests might become involved. To this
the German powers agreed, but the
entente powers only did so in a modi
fed form. The declaration classed as
absolute contraband articles required
in actual combat, "the tools of fight
ing" Noncontraband goods included
cotton, wool, skins, hides and rubber.
Great Britain invited the powers to
the London conference and signed the
declaration, which was adopted by all
the representatives of the powers.
That it was never ratified by the home
governments is a mere technicality.
The document would appear to be. just
what is claimed in the preliminary
paragraph, as follows: 'The signatory
powers are agreed that the rules con-
tanned in the following chapters CORE
spond in substance with the generally
recognized principles Of internatiU.4 al
law" A code Of generally recognized
principles should furnish a basis for
the adjudication Of all difficulties ar1s-
ing in the course Of the war.
