How to Be a Rockefeller

Jasper, in Leslie s.
 Few realize how profitable some lines of business are at this time. A little item recently appeared in a Pittsburg paper announcing that the Quaker Oil conl- pany, a subsidiary of the Pure Oil com pany, has just declared a dividend of 700 per cent, following a dividend of 10J0 per cent last May and 400 per cent in March. This company is allied with one of the bitterest competitors of the Stand ard Oil company. If the latter were de- claring dividends at this enormous rate, what would not the busters and smashers say of it? All along the line the earn ings of our great industries, as well as of our railroads and express companies, are increasing at an astonishing rate. Never before has the public been so deep ly interested in our great corporations, both industrial and railway, as they are

To Make Your Hair
 Look Naturally Curly

After shaking the hair down and brushing it out, apply a little liquid silmerine with a clean tooth brush and then roll the hair in curriers'. This pro- duces as beautiful curls and waves aS you could wish for, perfectly natural in appearance. and they will last a long time. The full effect is secured within three hours, though some prefer to keen the hair done up over night.
 A few ounces of liquid silmerIne- which can of course be had at any drug store-Will last for weeks so if ia quite economical to use. It also serves as an excellent dressing, giving the hair a delightful gloss. When the hair is combed out it will be as fluffy as though it had just been shampooed

eNl1 or IN -cmperance, prohibition is
wanting III the first principles Of true
morality. Its advocacy on moral and
religious grounds is pernicious to the
last degree, oppressive to the con-
science, restrictive Of true liberty Of
mlnd and dishonorable to the Chris
tlan idea Of manhood
False and Dishonest.
BISHOP lOtter-You will gather from
this how superficial, how utterly in
human, inccnsiderate and unreason-
able ! regard a great deal Of that
doubtless often well-intentioned zeal
winch seeks to make men and women
Vlrtuous and temperate by a law Of in
discriminate repression. l do, I do!
Ana II | am sent here Of God for
nothing else, | am sent here, men and
brethren, to tell you that; and to en-
treat YOU to discern that the most Of
our methods for dealing with the drink
evil in our day and generation are
tainted with falsehood, dishonored bv
essential unreality, and discredited by
Widespread and consistent failure.
Archbishop Messmer-Al nv life I
nave protested against the use of the
word temperance or rather the
abuse OF 1t as meaning total abstin-
cnce. | object to the sentiment which
assumes that a man who drinks an
occasional glass Of wine or beer is not
q temperate man. Temperance does
not mean total abstinence 1t means
the moderate use.
Personal Liberty at Stake.
The stand which | take against the
imposing OF laws by any community
Wflch interfere with personal liberty
is the stand taken by the Roman Cath
ol!c Church. The church holds that
any attempt to curtail this liberty IS
TO be discouraged. Prohibition is such
an attempt and on the whole I believe
1t to be an unWise movement which
would not bring the results claimed
for it,
In conclusion, the Clovis News saws.
Some Of the church members who
nave been threatened with excommuni
catl0n II they vote the wet ticket are
put IN most peculiar position. They
nave become convinced that if thew
vote for prohibition they will be voting
LOT liquor i'll its worst and most law
less form. If they vote the wet ticket
they will be "churched" because thew

form. Kind of hard predicament for

Memorial DAY and the Future.

This is Memorial day when the nation pauses
for moment to place wreath on the tomb Of
its soldier dead and to highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain" Men who
were straight and strong, 1.-the and active, half
a century ago now march with faltering steps, but
the fire that lit their eyes in 6S is still clear and
bright. They are the Grand Army OF the Re
public, indeed And the younger veterans, who
followed Old Glory into the Cuban brakes and
the glades Of the Philippines, giving to that flag
new meaning and higher mission, are the
brothers in arms and patriotism Of those older
men, and we are all heritors Of what they
wrought
Memorial day has deeper meaning for US
now. In 1861 and 1893 war came upon the land
unsought and found the people unready. The
tale Of this unreadiness is found in the toll Of
death, taken, not on the battlefield, but in the
camp, in the base hospitals not amidst the crash
OF cannon and the rattle Of musketry the rush
ing charge and fierce grsppe, where death for
liberty is life's finest boom but by disease which
might have been prevented and the existence Of
which is still source OF shame. These men died
because OF ignorance. Their lives, wasted in vain,
were the price paid for unreadiness viii we
commit the same blunderl
When we resolve today that liberty shall have
new birth in this land why not also resolve that
we will make reasonable preparations, 50 that II
our young men are called again to defend that
liberty and the flag that symbolizes it, they will
not fall victims 10 ignorance Of the simplest re-
quirements of life in camp. Memorial day should
teach something for the future by recalling the
mistakes Of the past
