People who imagine that they are
working under disadvantages in their
own town can find comfort in reading
about the handicaps under which the
people of Oatman, Arizona, have to
put up with. The town is growing at
the rate of one hundred day, and the
accommodation are very limited. The
people also have to bring their water
from Needles, California, which is
forty miles distant, and the fluid sells
for twenty cents gallon. II is there
fore necessary for the people to go
forty miles in order TO take bath or
else pay the high price for the water.
When towns can be built up under
such difficulties there is no reason
why a we'll located place cannot be
made metropolis if the people CO.
operate and put their energies into
the work.

Returns After Forty Years

Lowell-David B. Denny, oil Ellis
worth, Antrim county, Mich, called
on J. S. Hooker Monday.
Mr.. Denny was born in Lowell, near
where the new school is, in 1852. His
people came here from Saranac in the
spring of 1847, and were moved here
in canoes by J. S. Hooker and settled
in a board shanty a few rods south
of the place before mentioned. Step
hen Denney, father of David, was the
first blacksmith and his shop was sit
uated on the same ground where the
Ledger Office is now located.
David and wife are now visiting at
the home of John Olin. 1t is 40 years
since David has seen Lowell and he
notices quite a change.

Kick Of the Gun.

When a young American joins the
national guard or. following that in
stinct which not even long city life
can entirely Kill. takes a gun and
starts out as hunter, one OF the ear
lest surprises he gets is that nasty
hard kick his firearm gives him.
But the kick of the big guns in war
is tremendous. Some Of the guns jump
into the air In others mechanism
takes up the rebound and the gun
slides back into place.
1t is a curious fact that each OF these
great guns takes its kick I'm a way all
its own.-New York World

Ninety-ninth Essex battalion for over
seas service at Windsor. He has ten
dered his resignation as pastor.

so clearly that he rushed to Windsor

TOO MODEST
Dealer Says Linament Does
More Than Make Claims

Michigan people are apt to think
that when a manufacturer says, my
product is BEST" he means it, but
maybe his enthusiasm makes the
statement trifle exaggerated. There
fore, it is interesting to find that one
manufacturer is accused of being too
modest in regard to his 68-year-old
liniment. Messrs. Nisholson & Stuhr
of Cheyenne, Wyo., says: eve know
from personal experience that Han
ford's Balsam of Myrrh will do all and
more than the Hanford Company
claim for it."-adv.

More EMPLOYMENT

The number of men employed by
the liquor industry is about 100 per
$1,000.000 of capital. This is less than
one-fifth of the number employed for
the same amount of capital in other
industries. 1t is estimated that if the
capital used in the liquor business and
the money spent on drink were turned
into useful channels, it would give
employment to over 100000 more
men and support 100000 more pop
ulation in the United States.

In recent article, Dr. t. ID. Croth-
ers, superintendent of the Walnut
Lodge Hospital, Hartford, Conn, and
editor of the Journal of Inebriety de-
clares that 'if the actual effects of
alcohol were known, prohibiting its
use would follow as natural and rea-
sonable demand" "To persons who
know" he says, prohibition is the
only possible means of relief" And
Captain Richmond p. Hobson points
out-in a booklet, "Alcohol and the
Government" just issued by the Ma
tional w. G. t. U.-that the reason
why governments have not done and
are not doing their duty toward the
suppression of alcohol is, in the last
analysis, Chased on the absence of
public opinion on the part of the
masses as to the true nature of alcO-
hol and the appalling results that
come from its use"

Alcohol Shortens Life

That alcohol shortens life is abund-
antly proved by the records Of life in
surance companies. These tell us
that young man Of sound health at
the age Of twenty, who is a total abb
stainer, and who remains a total alb
stainer, has prospect of life Of 456
years, and lives to the average age of
65.6 years. If he is a tippler, or
moderate drinker, his prospect of life
is 31.9 years and he lives to the aver
age Of 51.6 years instead of 65.6 years.
He may never get drunk once, but the
price he will pay for being a temper
ate or moderate drinker is to lose 49,
rs years of his life.
