HINT FOR sALooNKEEpERs.

HINT FOR SALOONkEEPERS.
 You see that building" said a sa' loonkeeper in Montana. That IS all have in the world 1 worked hard to build and equip it. There l earn the food and clothing for my wife and babies. You women say you are go- ing to put me out of business. That will ruin my property. How am l to support my family?" 1 thought of the many families that his business was making hungry and unhappy, but I said nothing of this, for there was to me a pathos in his plea and to him it was very real problem. In the seven states that recently went dry there are thousands that meet the same conditions. They are cast adrift upon a wholly uncharted sea and they see nothing beyond.
 I answered. My friend, when Mon- tana goes dry, and as sure as you and live Montana is going dry, that lot will remain just where it is. Unless there is fire. and against that you can continue to protect your property by insurance as you are doing now, your building will remain where it IS. Just lower your bar and make coun- ter of It. Put in some more win dows, at a slight expense, and sell tea, coffee. sugar, flour. shoes-any commodity-to the very same people who patronize you now and receive in exchange the same kind of dol lars. Perhaps, my friend, you have not thought that MT. Brown over there who now comes to your place nightly and spends his money, may come In and buy pair of shoes for his little Mary, who sadly needs them. This purchase on his part will not un- fit him to earn another days wage tomorrow to buy something needed for his small son, Jimmie. And then perhaps he will come in the next night and buy a sack of -four, taking it home to his wife to use in making bread. AS for Mir Brown himself. he will go to bed and get good nights sleep and the next day he will be able to earn enough more funds to buy a sack of potatoes. Do you not see that you may sell from the same building to the same people who now patronize you and get even moro money? I am sure. too. that your wife will be happier and your chil- dren will no lorger be summed. We are not fighting you, my friend. but we are fighting your kind of business. Why not try to get into something honorable before the storm comes and be ready for the new trade?"
 He answered earnestly Perhaps I'd better. Anyhow, I'll consider it. I see you women are not just abusing us. You are not the kind thought you were. ."-Adah Wallace Unruh, Ma tional w. c. T. r. Organizer.

UP AGAINST MODERN BUSINESS

It isn't the crank who is putting the liquor traffic out of business. It's the business man, the railroad man, the banker, the lawyer. the merchant. the men who have to depend upon some one else for efficiency in the various departments of the important works, The liquor traffic is up against the modern business age. It is up against an enemy that 1t cannot throttle or buy or browbeat or bluff, and it might as well save what it can and go out oi business.-' Wichita Beacon

Placer-Gold Region.

An important source OF placer gold in
Alaska is in the Solomon and Casade-
paga region, about 30 miles east of Nome.
In this region dredge mining has yield
ed good returns. The region is part of
the great tundra belt of northern Alas
ka and is therefore without timber. In
most places the bedrock is masked by a
thick mat of moss or other vegetation
which has made it difficult to deeipher
its intricate geology. Nevertheless the
area has been geographically and geo
logically surveyed by the United States
geological survey, department of the in
terror, on a scale of one mile to one inch

has been published under the title Geo

SEVEN CENTS PER MILE.
Is Price for Students in Berea, KY, Col
lege,

Berea, Ky, Dec. 22.---ln order to prove
that the cost OF living has not reached
every part OF the country, Berea college,
in the Kentucky mountains, is response
BILE for the statement that it's fourteen
hundred students are fed at a cost OF
seven cents per meal. that they gained
several tons" in weight and that the
boarding hall made a net gain OF S550.49.
In explaining this record President
Frost of the college refers first to the
economy of numbers, some fourteen hun
bred students being in constant attend
ance in the five departments. Another
explanation OF the seven-eent meal is
the fact that most of the students are
accustomed to plain fare, so that they
almost unanimously choose to 90 with
out tea, coffee and butter to reduce ex-
penses. To offset these omissions the
"balance ration" has been introduced on
the assumption that it is just as i'm
portant for students as for any other
live stock"
