I'VE FULL DINNER PAIL.

TIE FULL DINNER PAIL.
Ev%erybody's Magazine. in it's new
department. Keep Posted narrates
and comments in a recent number as
follows.
Wine voman-and-song has gone up
Mich. and the result is one Of the
most notable so far achieved in Amer
lea. The most prominent leader Of the
drys is not an evangelist, o any
other sort of custodian of the soul. He
is simply a commercial person-R. II.
Scott.
"1n the year 1910. in the factory Of
which MIR. Scott is manager, in a Pc
Rod of ten successive weeks. the en-
ployees lost a total of 1928 working
days-and the wages of those days
because of not being able to recover
promptly from pay nights spent in sa-
looms.
I'm the dry.versus-wet campaign in
1910 in Lansing MIR. Scott fought for
morals and economics. Nevertheless
the campaign did not please all of
1.ansing's business men. They thought
that a dry town would lose business
to wet towns near by. So, two years
later. Lansing went wet again.
This gave everybody a wonderful
chance to compare a dry Lansing with
a wet Lansing, commercially.
First, as for the cost of running the
government, it was soon found that a
wet Lansing had to spend a good deal
of money supporting it's wet citizens.
One of many proofs was this: the cost
of feeding the prisoners in the county
Jail during the two years while Lam
sing was dry had been $500, while
during the two ensuing years of wet
ness the cost OF feeding them lat the
same rate per person. was $11,300.
Quite a difference for a town of 4 $1,000.
Second. as for business itself,
scores of merchants we're converted to
the proposition that the competition of
saloons in nearby wet towns would
not be half SO Injurious to them as
the competition of saloons on Ian.
sings own streets. Their experiences
may be summarized into the statements
of a butcher who remarked merely
that when the town was dry he could
collect his back bills. and when II. was
wet he couldn't.
In the last dry-versus-wet campaign
in Lansing the merchants did not rally
tn the support OF the flowing bowl at
all. They turned to the overlooking
pay envelope and the paid-up ac-
counts. The issue discussed was pros
rerity. and the majority for going to
| 1t sober was 1900.
The efficiency Of the factory is at
least 10 per cent higher dry than wet.
according to Mr.. Scott.
And a similar result is shown in the
cost figures furnished to Everybody's
Magazine by Mr..C. e. Bement, gen
eral manager of another company. In
a dry ~Lansing-and for no reason ex-
cept dryness and greater sobriety and
energy-the cost Of making engines
by this concern has gone down 10
cents per horse power"

O.-W. r. & n. train struck the auto
mobile in which Mr.. Shaw and G..
W. Robinson of Elma, Wash, were
riding. Mr. Robinson was fatally in

Elma, Wash, fatally injured Satur-
day evening by the incoming O.-W.
r. Il n. train as they were crossing
the track near the entrance to the
fair grounds in Mr. Robinson's auto
mobile.
No one is able to account for The
tragedy for approaching trains ere
plainly in view from the vicinity Of
the crossing, but the theory is that
the automobile was stalled on the
track either by attempting to stop It
before crossing or by killing the en-

from shipping and from tourists. Pas-
senger steamers swing Importantly up
to the docks like the limousines OF So

war vessels of Great Britain steam IN
and out, cutting the water with clean
prows and the air with sharp orders.
Valetta, the Maltese city, is an an

the stronghold of the Knights OF st.

If the infestation is not very heavy,
the amount should be enough to treat

NORTHWEST is WITH WILSON
Confidently Count Upon Victory

"Once upon a time the northwest

Kremer of Butte, Democratic national
committeeman for Montana, in an in
terview at Washington. "But that
time has passed, and now the north
west is not only debatable territory
but is leaning largely to the Democ-.
racy. If our Republican friends are
counting on carrying the northwestern
states, they had better revise their cal
culatiOns.
''Tll tell you why the northwest is
Democratic now, and why, in my judg-
ment, the president will carry the
northwest this year. There are three
great industries in Montana, for in
stance-stock raising, which includes
wool production, ranching, which would
be called farming in the East, and
mining. The stockmen are getting
higher price for their cattle than ever
known before, and for the hides rec
ord price. Wool is bringing "a cents

the mines are getting $3.50 and So
