Today's Poem

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN
Somewhere, out on the blue sea sail
ing,
Where the winds dance and spin;
Beyond the reach Of my eager hail
ing,
Over the breakers din;
Out where the dark storm clouds are
lifting,
Out where the binding fog is drifting,
Out where the treacherous sand is
shifting,
My ship comes in.
o have watched till my eyes were
aching,
Day after weary day;
0 have hoped till my heart was
breaking
While the long nights ebbed away;
Could / but know where the waves
had tossed her,
Could l but know what storms had
crossed her,
Could but know where the winds had
lost her,
Out in the twilight gray!
But though the storms her Course
have altered,
Surely the port she'll win,
Never my faith in my ship has falter-
ed,
l know she is coming in.
For through the restless ways of her
roaming,
Through the mad rush of the wild
waves foaming,
Through the white crest of the bill
lows combing,
My ship is coming in.
Breasting the tides where the gulls
are flying,
Swiftly she's coming in
Shadows and deeps and rocks defying,
Bravely she's coming in.
Precious the love she will bring to
bless me,
Snowy the arms she will bring to
caress me,
In the proud purple of kings she will
dress me
My ship is coming in.
White in the sunshine her sails will be
cleaning,
See where my ship comes in!
At masthead and peak her colors
streaming,

City Is Judged by Paper

"Show me some copies of the paper
published in your town and / will tell
you some facts about it and your peo-
ple."
The man, who said that was an ac-
tive business man, who was consider
ing an expensive proposition. The
information he wanted was all in is
sues of weekly newspaper.
He wanted to know about the
stocks of goods carried by the mer-
chants, to Judge of their business
capacity by the style and amount of
advertising they employed-the paper
would show him.
He wanted to know something of
the social activities of the town which
the paper would show him.
He wanted to know something of
the pursuits of the people in the town
and the condition Of the surrounding
country. The paper would show him.
He would scan those papers care
fully and would be able to give the
information as he had stated.
He would judge of the business
prospects from the advertising col
umns, of prospective selling possibili-
ties by the local happenings, of the
tastes and intelligence of the people
by the reading matter the paper gave
its readers, and whether they were
progressive, alert or an easy-going
and comparatively inactive sort. .
If the town merchants are not all
represented in its columns it would
spell Little business" a bad knock
for the town.
The investigation would end and
the town be passed over as not worth
considering.
So then the weekly paper is for
fifty-two times a year showing people
who do not reside in the town just
how to Judge if it is a business and
social center.

Liquor Traffic A Liability


License advocates, assuming that
the voter either has no brains or can
not use them, always argues as if
this revenue was a dead loss to SOC
city under prohibition. The fact is
that under the license system the IL
cense fees represent a small part of
the big loss caused by the beverage
liquor traffic.
"A working man who spends a dol
lar for wet goods cannot spend the
same dollar for dry goods. In Cadil-
lac in one bank, the book accounts on
savings deposits show on increase of
more than 90 per cent under the dry

means that much less to be invested
In homes, farms, groceries, clothing
or the savings bank.

Dishes for Daily Menu

Few people appreciate the value of
the banana as a dish served with
meat as vegetable. Loosen the skins
from the fruit; but do not remove
them, place in hot frying pan and
cook until the pulp is very soft. Re-
move the skins, sprinkle with sugar
and a drop or two of lemon juice and
butter, and serve with steak. Sliced
and sauteed in butter, the banana is
also good, seasoned with a little le-
mon juice.
Deviled Tomatoes.-Wipe, peel and
slice crosswise three tomatoes. Sea-
son with salt and pepper, roll in flour
and cook in hot pan in little but

Study of American Rivers

Water in surface streams has at
all times played an important role in
the industrial and commercial develop.
ment of the country. In the early
settlement the rivers served not only
as the principal means of communica-
ton and commerce but also furnished
power for grinding grain. carding
wool, manufacturing lumber, and for
other industries. They also furnished
medium for transporting logs from
the forest to the mills.
With the increased population and
corresponding increase in commercial
development came the need for better
facilities for transportation and more
power for industrial uses. Later
came a demand for the use of water
in streams for municipal supply and
for irrigation, and il was found that a
systematic study of the water re-
sources of the country was necessary
in order that works which depend for
their success on the water in streams
could be economically designed and
operated.
AS result of this demand for data
in regard to water resources of the
country the u. s. Geological Survey
started, about % years ago, systema-
tic Investigations of streams in order
to determine their flow and obtain
other information necessary for their
economical development, and as a re-
suit Of these Investigations general
information is available for practical
ly all parts of the country.

No Liquor Dealer Need Apply

The manufacturers and Dealers
Association, an organization Of the
liquor interests with headquarters in
Chicago, is offering to furnish news
papers with anti-prohibition material.
In his letter to editors, Mr.. Daniels,
business manager of the association,
says: This is not liquor organiza-
ton. We do not accept as a member
anyone who deals in alcoholic liquors.
We are taxpaying business men who
help make the wheels of commerce
go round" 1t may be in order to
ask, why the discrimination against
the liquor dealer? From the stand
point of this anti-prohibition "com-
mercial" organization he is a sine
non in making the wheels go round.
Does the liquor trade, Wholesale and
retail, view with approval this octra-
cism by manufacturers and dealers ?"

Temperance Syndicate Matter

Significant of the growing anti
liquor sentiment throughout this
country is the fact that two great
newspaper synidicates, the American
Press Association and the Western
Newspaper Union, supply temperance
reading matter as a regular part of
their ready-print service. The tenn
perance department of the Western
Newspaper Union is conducted by the
National w. c. T. u. and goes out
with the name of that organization at
the head of its columns. 1t is not.
with these syndicates, a question of
dollars, on ra question of giving news
papers what they want. And a con-
siderable number of the 10000 news
papers they serve want temperance
material. This means that prohibit
ton has become a nationwide and a
worldwide issue, and that the press
is giving it CONSPICUOUS place in its
news columns. The liquor interests
are finding it increasingly difficult
these days to send out their free plate
matter for the reason that, as one
prohibition journal puts it, "more and
more of the newspapers Of the coun-
try refuse to be barkers for booze"

Henry Ford believes that the man

employ has secured a divorce, under
threat that il he did not separate from
his quarrelsome wife he would be
discharged and lose his IS a day po-
sition with the manufacturer Of auto

ing to wives of Ford employees not to
quarrel with their husbands, lest the
latter lose their jobs and the former
get no alimony.

Drink to Blame

Captain l.. p. Pinkston Of the u. s.
Marine Corps has compiled a table
showing that of all applications for
enlistment in this country last year
only 9.31 per cent met the physical
requirements for military service
an average of one man in each eleven
examined. Alcoholic liquors, with the
vices engendered by their use.-by
even their moderate use-are, say au-
thorities in and out of the army, chief
cause of this incapacity on the part
OF Americas young manhood. It is
evident that if the nation is to sur
vive we must guard its people from
the foe now permitted to prey upon
our citizenship foe which in name
of government itself is undermining
our chief defenses. The hour has
struck for nationwide prohibition of
the liquor traffic. There is no neu-
trality here. Every man and woman
Of America is either for or against
the war now on for the defense of
home and national life.

Correct Measurements


To the old-fashioned housekeeper
and cook the methods of accurate
measurement do not seem important.
When our cooks begin to learn that
cooking is an exact science, there will
be less said about "luck" in cooking.
The shit or miss" methods Of mea-
surements are the cause of poor re-
suits. Cooks as well as other work.
men should have good tools to work
with if they expect to realize sue
cess. There are standard spoons and
measuring cups on the market that are
full measure, and there are those
which lack from one to two table
spoonfuls in a cup. Be sure that
those you buy are full half pint cups
and spoons the standard size. Sixteen
tablespoonfuls of material will be
found in the standard measuring cup,
sixty drops are in a teaspoon and
three teaspoonfuls fill standard Ia
blespoon.
In using a tablespoonful of mater
ial it is leveled off with knife, so is
the teaspoon and the cup. Baking
powder and soda should be free from
Jumps and lightened by tossing before
measuring. In measuring flour the
average cook takes too much by Dip
ping it in a cup or shaking 1t down
when measuring. Flour should be
sifted before measuring, then lightly
dropped into the cup with a table,
spoon and smoothed off with spoon or
knife. In taking the measure for half
teaspoonful or any part, fill it full,
level with knife and cut down
through the center, from the handle
to the tip, pushing off the half, or
divide in thirds by marking the full
spoon crosswise.
Cabbage, if cooked in boiling sailed
water, uncovered, will be more digest
