SEARS-ROEBUcK IS A GREAT

Sears-Roebuck & Co. paid divi-
dends of $11, 100000 during financial

had surplus of $1O,4OS,OOO left to
tide over possible rainy day."
When big figures are used in
punches they sometimes look ordi-
nary and one fails to realize how big
they are, so, for sake of comparison,
keep in mind while you read of mil
lions that Barrett O'Hara's investi-
cation found the high average wage
of married men at Sears-Roebuck to
be SIS a week.
Now, remembering that few of the
thousands of girls and women who
work for Sears-Roebuck get more
than a few dollars week and that at
one time had to pay for drinking wa
ter, you are probably in proper frame
of mind to learn that Sears-Roebuck
did a gross business last year of
$112,000,000. Gross, yes, but not so
coarse!

Historic
Facts

The old prescription book, used at
Carleton & Hovey's Drug Store in
Lowell, Mass, in 1856, is still carefully
preserved. On the page dated June 9,
1866, is written the original prescrip-
ton for Father Johns Medicine. This
prescription was compounded for the
Reverend Father John O'Brien at the
old drug store on that date, and was so
successful in treating Father Johns
ailment, which was severe cold and
throat trouble, that he recommended
the medicine to his friends and parish
toner's. In going to the drug store and
calling for the medicine, they always
asked for Father Johns Medicine. and
in this way the medicine got its name
and was advertised. Father Johns
Medicine is a safe family remedy for
colds, coughs, throat troubles, and as
a tonic and body builder, because it
does not contain opium, morphine
chloroform, and any other poisonous
drugs, or alcohol, but is all pure, whole
some, nourishing.

CAMEL IN ILLINOIS.

SAMEI IN ILLINOIS.
A wet and dry map of Illinois is a
revealing sort of document, says the
Chicago Journal. 1t shows that the
sale of liquor is forbidden in more than
so per cent of the geographical area
of the state. AS indicating how great
has been the retreat of John Barley
corn" continues the Journal, you can
start at the Wisconsin boundary and
drive in an absolutely straight line to
the Ohio river without once entering
wet territory. You can start from
half q dozen different townships on
the Indiana border and drive straight
to the Mississippi river on dry terri
tory, and only at two places in cross
ing the state from east to west do you
need to make more than a small de-
tour to avoid wetness..

when, it is alleged, he tried a few
nights ago to carry away Miss Ethel
Springer, seventeen, from her home
in Fullertown.
Later the charge was withdrawn and
he was adjudged to be insane. He
was arrested only after having
thrashed three men who tried to hold
him. He was taken in charge by a
deputy sheriff at his boarding house
when kneeling in prayer.
Il will marry Ethel Springer, no

he left later in custody of Sheriff Bal

INSECT CUTS DOWN TREES
New Pest Is Causing Much Annoyance
to Pacific Coast Fruit
Growers.

Grass Valley, Cal.-The state of Cali
fornia is on the trail of the pleocoma
large beetle of the scarabaid family
and efforts will be made to check his
propensity to chop down fruit trees.
Agents of the state insectary are here
collecting larvae of the pest for the
purpose of breeding specimens and
studying its life history.
The pleocoma is found in new,
stumpy ground. 1t works just below
the surface, cutting down a good sized
tree as neatly as i could be done with
a saw. The larva is more than two
inches in length, as large as a mans
finger and is equipped with powerful
set of jaws.
The state insectary at present knows
of no means of controlling the pest.

Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause of the remarkable vitality
of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes it from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
it is the long, cordlike perennial root
This root penetrates the soil to depth
of eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus it will often be found
that an entire patch of thistles is at
tached to one root and is in reality
but one plant The root is exceedingly
hardy and can live over winter or
through prolonged drought in dor
mant condition. Pieces of the root
that are broken off by pillow or cult
vator and carried to other places will
await warm, moist period and then
begin to send up leafy shoots, thus es-
tablishing new patch forthwith. If
the leafy stems are cut down. others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may be repeated from two
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.

REMARKABLE CHANGE.
In statistical survey of the first six
months Of prohibition in Arizona, Jan
uary to July l, 1915, Thomas K. Mar
shall shows the marked improvements
in all phases of state life Crime, in
counties where saloons existed during
1914, fell off 1913 per cent when the
saloons were closed. This insured saw
ing to taxpayers of $50,773.98 in de-
creased cost of arrests and prosecu-
lions. Even more striking are the fig
ures for the cities and towns. With a
total decrease of 2,403, or SOL per cent,
in the number of arrests for the first
six months of 1915 as compared with
the same months of 1914, the saving
amounts to $85,170.14 This almost off
sets the entire amount of liquor license
revenue, $100,99S, which was surren-
dered by the cities of the state.
The record of the city of Phoenix is
perhaps the most remarkable of any.
Over $5,000,000 increase in taxable
wealth, decrease in tax rate and about
$4,000 less in cost of city government
for six months. is credited to the CAPT
tai city of Arizona for the first half
OF 1914. The decrease in arrests for
drunkenness for the first six months
OF 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any
city of its size in the United States.
The number of arrests for 1914 was
1,21O and for 1915 was IS. The per
capita cost Of arrests for 1914 was
1888. With LIPS fewer arrests for
the six months of 1915 for this cause
there was decreased cost of $7,346.25
to the city.
Savings banks accounts in the state
Increased nearly 100000 the first six
months, and the deposits of all banks
increased nearly $3,OO0,OO0 up to Sep
TENDER, 1915.
The children of the state are feeling
the benefit of prohibition. There were
for the first six months of 1915 1000
more children in school than for the
same period of 1914. The registration
at the state university also shows an
increase of Sc per cent over the regis.
tration for 1914.

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

You cannot convince the manage
ment of the Polk Hospital for Inebri-
ates at Knoxville, Ia, that prohibition
does not prohibit. They have the best
possible proof that it does. According
to the report Of the county auditor
since January l the number of pa
tfents sent to the hospital has been
dwindling until at present there are
just half as many patients as there
were year ago. Even before the
state prohibitory law went into effect,
the fact that Des Moines was without
saloons tended to cut down the alco-
holic patients.
There were % patients during the
last quarter of 1915 as compared with
SO in the same period of 1914, and
since the first of this year the number
has decreased still more.

ECONOMIC EFFECT.

On top of the great moral results we
have these economic facts: In the
first three weeks of January the saw.
ings deposits in the banks of Seattle
increased Is per cent. There was not
a grocery store in Seattle that did
not show an increase Of business in
January greater than ever known in
any month before in all the history of
the city, except in holiday time. In
all the large grocery stores the in
crease was immense. Every dry
goods store, except one, and that
have no figures from, had a wonderful
increase in business.
And prohibition has not lowered
rents. know Of one big dry goods
store that has had its rent increased
since prohibition went into effect.
