Marching On.

Thirty years ago." says Sen
ator Cummins of Iowa, II should
have said prohibition was imprac-
tical. Under the conditions that
existed then, it would have meant
putting in the field two unregu-
ated saloons to the one regulated
saloon. But the world has march
ed along in these thirty years
until now there is sentiment
enough in the United States to
abolish the saloon. The United
States ought to abolish it, and
WILL" The Washington cores
pondent of a Chicago daily calls
attention to the fact that Albert
Baird Cummins, a man feared
and respected on the floor of the
United States Senate, is dead
against booze, and is the first
presidential possibility of a ma
jor party that ever came out fiat
footed in favor of prohibition on
a national scope.

Alcohol and Pneumonia.

The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as
the most efficient ally of pneu-
monia. 1t declares that alcohol
is the handmaiden of the disease
which produces ten per cent of
the deaths in the United States.
This is no exaggeration. We have
known for a long time that in
diligence in alcoholic liquors low
ers the individual vitality, and
that the man who drinks is pecu-
liarly susceptible to pneumonia.
The United States Public Health
Service is a conservative body.
1t does not engage in alarmist
propaganda. In following out
the line of its official duties it has
brought forcefully to the general
public a fact which will bear
endless repetition. The liberal
and continuous user of alcoholic
drinks will do we'll to heed this
warning, particularly at this sea-
son of the year when the grue-
some death toll from pneumonia
is being doubled.

Successful Revival.

Big Cove Tannery, March g.
The Revival services at Bethany
church conducted by Rev. Siers
was well attended. We were all
sorry to see this dear servant of
God leave. He was sent to
throw out the life line" and to
tell to dying men and women
nothing but the true gospel,
through which many souls were
brought to Christ to know and
learn of Him until the end. May
this servant be sent back to US
and be the means of bringing
many more souls to a saving
knowledge of the Lord Jesus
Christ, is the prayer of many
hearts in this community.

Eleven Dry Counties.

Mercer county, center of a big
steel industry, was added to the
dry column last when Judge
McLaughrey refused all applica-
tions on the grounds of NO Me-
CEssITY. Other dry counties in
Pennsylvania are Huntingdon,
Mifflin, Bedford. Greene, Venan-
go. Wyoming, Juniata, Jefferson,
Union, and Crawford. There
were forty-five applications in
Mercer, but the Court held that
no necessity for the sale of liquor
had been proven, and that the
sale of rum is a detriment to
public welfare.

Law Relating to Fur.Bearing Animals.

A summary of laws in the
United States and Canada in force
in 1915 relating to the trapping,
protecting, and bounties of fur
bearing animals, will shortly be
published by the Biological Sur
vey of the department as Farm
ers' Bulletin 7O6. This publica-
ton, which reviews the laws of
States, Territories, and Provinc-

reference book by those who
hunt or trap. You can get a
copy by writing to the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, ID. c., and
asking for it.

Practical Instructian.

Miss Barbara Martin of Ayr
township, now a prominent teach
er in Blair county, firmly believes
that agriculture is the bedrock of
American industries: that if, in
the preparation for the great
European, war, it paid Kaiser
William to begin the training of
his soldiers when they were boys
in the public schools, Miss Mar
tin believes that the way to keep
boys on the farm is to awaken a
love for the work during their
boyhood days in the public
schools. Acting upon this prin-
ciple, says the Tyrone Herald,
she arranged for a date when one
of the instructors in State College
could visit her school. This done
she sent out invitations to all
her patrons and others to be
present on that day, and a large
number responded. Mr.. Ken
nedy, a representative of the
State College was there and de-
livered a very instructive lecture
along the line of Pure Seed Gull
tivation. He spoke of the prop
er treatment and planting of both
corn and oats, giving full instruc-
tions for the selection and testing
of seeds before planting; also in
structions for the killing of germs
such as the smut germ in oats,
potato blight and many other
forms of diseases in seeds and
plants.
There were many questions
asked by the audience which were
answered by the lecturer, also
demonstrations given in corn.
To further increase the pleasure
of the audience, Miss Martin had
her pupils sing three very ap-
propriate songs which were ad-
mirably rendered, giving great
credit to both the teacher and
pupils of the Nealmont school.

others from making a will; then,
after death, their property is dis
posed of according to the will
of some one else--in many cases"
a disposition very different from
that which the deceased would
have made. Then, there are
still other, who will not take out
life insurance. They feel, that
to do so, is to challenge the AL
mighty. A hesitancy in any one
of the cases mentioned, is not
the part of wisdom. The time
to prepare for death, whether
from a spiritual, or from a tenn
poral, standpoint, is while you
are in life and health.
As an instance of real nerve"
Jacob Lawyer, rs years old, a
retired Carol county, Nd, farm
er, four years ago, selected and
purchased a lot in Pleasant Val
ley cemetery, dug his grave, and
also prepared one for his wife
beside his own. Last week he
passed away peacefully and on
Thursday, was laid to rest in the
grave he had dug.
In referring to this incident, it
is not to be understood that the
NEWS thinks everyone should dig
his own grave. That is a matter
that may be safely entrusted to
those whose business it is to do
that work.

Dwelling House Burned.

Fire, last Sunday afternoon, to-
tally destroyed the dwelling
house on the Conrad M. Sipes
farm-the farm, years ago, own
ed by Conrad's father, B. Frank
Sipes, deceased. 1t is situated
on the east side of Pattersons
Run north of where the latter
flows into Licking Creek. At
the time of the fire the house
was occupied by John P. School
ey and family.
Reliable reports say that the
fire originated from sparks fall
ivg on the old shingle roof, which,
on account of the strong wind
prevailing were soon famed into
uncomfortable flames which rap
idly spread over, and through,
the building. Mr.. Schooley was
at the home of a nearby neigh
Dor when the fire was discovered.
He and his neighbor hastened to
the scene of the fire, and sue
ceeded in getting out a small part
of t he household furniture.
There was no insurance on the
household goods of Mr.. Schooley
his insurance having expired
about two weeks ago; and, on the
house, Mr.. Sipes was not carry
ing any fire protection.

Patriotism.

A nation is made great, not
by its fruitful acres, but by the
men who cultivate them; not by
its great forests. but by the men
who use them; not by its mines,
but by the men who work in
them; not by its railways, but by
the men who build and run them.
America was great land when
Columbus discovered it; Ameri-
cans have made of it a great
Nation.
In 1776 our fathers had a vision
Of a new Nation conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the prop
osition that all men are created
equal" Without an army they
fought the greatest of existing
world empires that they might
realize this vision. A third of a
century later, without a navy
they fought the greatest navy in
the world that they might win
for their Nation the freedom of
the seas. Half century later
they fought through an unparal-
leled Civil War that they might
establish for all time on this con-
tinept the inalienable right of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. A third of a century
later they fought to emancipate
an oppressed neighbor, and,
victory won, gave back Cuba to
the Cubans, sent an army of
schoolmasters to educate for lib
erty the Filipinos, asked no war
indemnity from their vanquished
enemy, but paid him literally for
his property. Meanwhile they
offered land freely to any farmer
who would live upon and cultivate
it, opened to foreign immigrants
on equal terms the door of indus
trial opportunity, shared with
them political equality, and pro-
vided by universal taxation for
universal education.
The cynic who can see in this
history only a theme for his ego
tistical satire is no true Ameri-
can, whatever his parentage,
whatever his birthplace. He who
looks with pride upon this history
which his fathers have written
by their heroic deeds, who ac-
cepts with gratitude the inherit
ance, which they have bequeath-
ed to him, and who highly re-
solves to preserve this inherit
ance, unimpaired and to pass it
on to his descendants enlarged
and enriched, is a true American,
be his birthplace or his parent
age what it may.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

Judge Baldwin in Chicago recent ly issued an Injunction against newspaper that had been supporting the tannery workers in their strike.
 The paper was strictly commando ed (thc exact word used) to absolu- tely desist from doing anything or saying anything in the paper which might be construed to subject any of the complainants employees to hatred, criticism, consure, scorD, dis' grace or annoyance or in any way discussing or watching or descrio- ing the strike in the complcinants business.
 This most drastic injunction of course practically Guspends the con- stitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press. But what's the con- stitution to an injunction judge any way? It is certainly small potatoes to Judge Baldwin.

cater to and are patronized by Big Business do not let us forget it. These denounce the workers for making demands, as one of them says, they would never get were il not that industrial conditions often compel employers to concede them.
 This text forms the basis of bit ter attacks upon the never-satisfied demands of labor. Just when the employer is up to his eyes in indus trial activities and when orders are rushing in, in never ending numbers, the employee demands more and more.
 This sort oi thing is considerea outrageous and there is no end t3 the denunciation of labor. Now as a matter of fact labor Is .ust reacting against the economic rres to which it is always com reiled to feel. There is not labof- ing man today who would hire ou. | his labor power if he could make decent living for himself. But he cannot. He has no land, no money, no tools. All he has got is his labor power and his capacity to work. He must sell that labor power or starve.
 During dull times there are SC many men after the job that he is whipped to higher speed and lower wages by an economic impulse in herent in the system. When times grow brisk and the capitalist expe- riences what he is SO fond of: pros perity, the demand for labor de creases the labor market and the boss finds himself driven by ocono mic forces to surrender a larger portion of labor's product than he has agreed to. It is not often tha
 labor has a chance to better its con dition. In some industries in some
 places it has now. Now is its onl! chance, and the workers would b'
 fools and suckers if they didn'
 try and grab chunk of this pros perity which is supposed to be float
 ing around.
 It's true that prosperity does no do the man any good who doesn'
 get a share of it. But they do de
 nounce the workers who want i
 passed around.
