PROSPEROUS WITHOUT LIQUOR.

Butler, Mo-, Is another town which
is demonstrating that prosperity fol-
lows prohibition. 1t is today, says the
Kansas City Star, "a better, richer
and more prosperous town than ever.
The merchants carry better stocks, the
business houses are neater, cleaner
and better; the people live in better
and more attractive homes and enjoy
life in more rational and healthful
ways. There are fewer idle people
and merchants have fewer bad debts.
when the saloons were voted out
Butler had bonded debt of something
like $4,000 on its electric light plant.
and Notwithstanding the revenue
from its four saloons, it was a hard
matter to meet interest payments, and
the liquidation of the principal seemed
long way off. Since the closing of
the saloons the debt has been paid
and many needed public improvements
have been made, and all without in
creasing the tax rate one penny. In
fact the tax rate is now lower than
ever BEFORE"

A WISE CZAR.

4 WISE CZAR.
A German general, taken prisoner,
related at Petrograd the following re-
marks of the kaiser: II was certain
of crushing the Russians when they
were freely given to drink, but now
that they are sober the task is much
more dif1cult!" And he added in .
melancholy tone. "who on earth could
have foreseen the antialcohol coup
d'etat perpetrated BY Nicholas nj"

Force Of Habit.

Customer-Have you any nice, light
rolls for my husbands supper?
Absent-Minded Clerk-No. but here

MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.

An interesting bit CT testimony
comes from the section of Minnesota
which recently became dry through
what might De called an automatic
application Of prohibition to region
where no election was held to settle
the question, namely, the enforcement
Of an old Indian treaty. Because of
this action there is not now an open
saloon in Itasca county. and as a
result a marvellous reformation has
taken place. One year ago seventy
nine tons Of beer were shipped in.
This year there was no beer, but the
books show that seventy-nine tons
more of groceries were consumed at
this point than during the correspond
ing month Of last year. The Mime
apolis Journal says that the records
of the mining companies, which en-
ploy the large population of foreign
ers, show fewer layoffs among the
men than ever before and the stores
report larger and more profitable busi-
nees from these employees.

LOVELY VALENTINE PARTY

On the afternoon of the eleventh,
the lovely riverside home of MI. and
Mrs. j. H.. Ellington was thrown open
to the friends of their charming
young daughter, Mary Blanche, for
the celebration of Valentine Day.
The elaborate decorations. of cupids
and hearts, in graceful festoons,
under the soft shades of rose color,
made a most enchanting picture.
Some thirty-six guests were invited,
and enjoyed the occasion. Games
of different kinds we're played amid
much hilarity and fun. Fortune
telling, one of the features, was es-
pecially interesting, as even these
young people steal time from their
high school studies, to wonder who

before their enchanted eyes in rain
bow tints. Lies road opens before
them, a silver thread, not a cloud to
their skies of perfect blue,

Masters Allen Kimbrough and Sam
A lovely t~wo-course lun-
cheon was served, in which the
idea was tastefullly carried
out. After a most delightful after
noon had been spent, lingering good

gentlemen friends, and their |

hem it will ever remain a white mile

from a visit to the Northern and
Eastern markets where he has pur-
chased a mammoth stock of goods for
the winter trade of Fountains Big

advantages by seeing the offerings Of

KINGS DAUGHTERS ASK AID FOR
HOSPITAL.

To the Citizens of Lefore County:
We have an institution in your
capitol city, that ought to attract the
attention Of every man, woman and
child in this grand country Of yours,
Is there anything in all your midst
that has done more for the good of
all classes of your citizens than the
Kings Daughters Hospital? Stop
and think what this institution means
to Lefore County.
We have been struggling along for
nine years, doing the best we could
for the suffering, and we have done
much good with the inadequet means
at hand and the great disadvantages
we have labored under.
The time has come when we must
be better equipped for doing greater
things for the sick and suffering.
We have sent out some good nurses,
from III little house.
The State law now is, that a nurse
who graduates from a hospitl with
less than twenty beds cannot be
registered in the State; in justice to
these girls who labor SO we'll for US,
we must have q larger building, or
close up u institution. Will Le-
fore County and the City of Green
wood with all their boosted wealth
deny the mean to make the best
thing she has the pride of our hearts
and the love of ou- work what it
should be? Nay verify. We can,
we must, we will have our new hos
pital before another year closes,
Outside of helping the sick, and
the benefit of helping those who are
not able to take their suffering ones
to some far away and famous hos
pital, it is also wise for you to remem-
Der that the rich as we'll as the poor
are sometimes taken sick unexpect-
edly and the case is so urgent that
unless a hospital is near by, it means
death, and this may mean you.
The training of the girls and fit
ting them for better women along all
ines Is n of our greatest works.
it possible for us to train more
girls, and build a hospital of fame Of
our own. We can do it if all will
lend a helping hand.
Then when the time comes to act
we shall expect help from every citi- |
zen of our county. Don't disap-
point us. Make it your interest and /
our new hospital is a surety.
Very truly,
Mrs. R. Thayer, Chm.
