citation is back of this bill, and the saloon men of the state are having nothing to do with it except pay the money that the Brewers Association assessed to them, This bill proposes to repeal every liquor law of our state and make the sale of whiskay lawful in our state. They call it a local option bill but it has very little of the elements of local option about 1t. It allows anyone to make wine or brandy and sell it without license. No vote on the question. It allows anyone to manufacture whiskey in the state without license. No vote on the question. It denies the right of peti- tion on the question, don't allow wo- men any voice in the matter. It de- stroys every special act, allows a saloon to be put anywhere. by a church, school or near your home or business house, anywhere, and you can have no say. Is this local option They say it is local self government law. It provides that if county seeks to vote whiskey out and the county goes wet, if there should be any township, town or city, that voted dry, this would not exempt them from saloons. Is that local self govern ment? It provides that bootleggers or any violator of the whiskey law be given small fine, while if the county judge and county clerk don't do as the whiskey men say. he is sent to the penitentiary, and if a county seeking to outlaw whskey votes dry, they can pull off another election at once, and keep it up indefinitely, but if it votes wet, no election can be held in two years. Is this local self gov ernment? No, it is local whiskey government. Many good people in our state think this bill only seeks to repeal our statewide prohibition law, and put us just where we were before it was passed. This is mistake. It repeals all laws we ever had, and de- clares the sale, manufacture and giv- ing away of liquor in the state lawful under certain regulations which gives the whiskey seller every advantage and gives the other side practically nothing.

HUNTING.

A trapper from the backwoods of Kentucky was riding in a railroad car for the first time.
 Right in front of him sat a bald headed man reading a newspaper. He was pretty "thin on top," but there was a good fringe of hair round the base of his head.
 The man was scratching these lower regions vigorously from time to time it appeared as if he would never get done scratching.
 The trapper, much interested in the operation, leaned forward and said in a confidential way:
 That's right, neighbor, that's right. Chase 'em up inter th' clearin', an then yer kin ketch 'em easier"

CHILL MEAT BEFORE
 SALTING AND CURING
To the Farmers of Neuadn CnnnA,,.

To the Farmers of Nevada County:
 You now have an opportunity by the first of November and after to sell your hard corn, finished dressed hogs to the Prescott Ice Factory at q fair market price. You have ample time to so harden them; if corn is scarce use one-half corn and one-half sweet potatoes; that will make them hard alright. Again if your hogs that you intend to cure for your own meat are fat and the weather is warm kill them, let hang over night and bring them to the factory next morn ing to have them chilled, then salt and cure and you will save your meat. To cure safely, all the animal heat must be removed from the carcass. Much meat Is lost by not properly chilling 1t before salting. The factory will not charge more than one-half cent a pound for such work. Three to five days in the chilling room is sufficient. It IS throwing away money to feed fat hogs. Therefore, either sell them to the factory or have them chilled for your own use. Lawrence Foot.

FLAG
 WASN'T AL WAYS EMERALD COLOR
Blue Prior to 179S Students of
 History Agree, After ( ReSerach.

The universal belief concerning the flag of Ireland is that it has always been "the Narp without the crown imposed on field of green and that green has from time immemorial been Erin's color.
 I venture to say that ninety out of every hundred persons will assert, in answer to query, that the harp on a green background has constituted Irefhnds national design these many centuries, this belief obtaining gener- ally among the Irish themselves.
 In opposition to this belief it will appear strange when the asseveration is made that Irelands national color until something more than a century ago was blue.
 It may indeed produce a bit of a shock to many wfio have been welded to the notion ,.iat "the Emerald isle,'' "the shamrock so green" "our green Isle beyond the seal, and other similar expressions were indissolubly and for ever connected with the country's na- tional colors..
 But as a matter of fact the green nag made It's first appearance in 17ss.
