VENTURE NOT SUCCESS.
Owner of Liquor Ship says He Hn
Had Enough of the Bustnens

Astoria, Ore, Oct. l5.--Having dis
posed OF his entire stock of liquor
much quicker than he anticipated
Daniel Hnnnuk. owner and master OF
the gasoline launch Union which has
been dispensing wet goods outside the
mouth of the Columbia River brought
The craft into port
He says he has Ind enough of the
business, as he narrowly escaped be-
ing wrecked twice while coming up
the coast. ealso told friends that
the venture WAS not much of a sue
cess financially and he Just about
broke even" This 10 probably ac-
counted for by the fact that for a
few days before leaving Eureka Han
nuk was the hero" of the place, and
the entertainments are said to have
cost quite n tidy sum.
So far as can be learned Hannuk
bought $40 bottles OF whiskey at Flu
reka. paying about $500 for It, Forty
bottles were broken during gale en-
countered in. coming up the coast, and
the balance, OF 500 bottles. were sold
at the rate OF $3.50 bottle. a total of
$1,000. This would leave n profit of
$500, less the expense of operating the
craft
Thus far no charge has been placed
against Hannuk either by the Fed
erai or State authorities.

frage Association, which, as it is well
known. comprises the great bulk of
American suffragists.
Both the State and the national
organization are now, and always
have been, strictly nom partisan. They
are quite distinct from the new group
known as the Congressional Union,
which has recently organized what
they term the Women's Party in the
suffrage States for the purpose of de-
feating Mr.. Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party in the next election.
Indeed. in order to emphasize this
frage Association held an emergency
convention In Atlantic City on Sep
TENDER to 10 last and voted prac-
tically unanimously TO refrain from
endorsing any party or any candidate
in short, voted to remain nom
partisan.
Not Trying to Defeat Wilson.
1T goes without saying that the
Virginia delegation voted unanimous
ly for the non partisan resolution, and
that the Equal Suffrage League of
Virginia Is not trying to defeat Mr..
Wilson. or fighting against any party.
I'VE are simply benolng every eff
fort to convert men of all parties to
a belief in the justice and expediency
of equal suffrage. We are exhibit
ing, with telling effect, at the various
county fairs and the past week at
the Virginia State Fair, the woman
suffrage planks in every political plat
form: the surest proof that could be
found that the tide is almost at the
flood, and that we have now but a
little while to wait AS Mr. Wilson
said to our great convention last
month.
I'VE are rejoicing in the fact that
every presidential candidate Is retter-
ating his belief that women should be
given the right of saffrage. ana-eur
office force is now steadily engaged
indeXing the names of hundreds of
visitors to the State Fair. who are
following the good example of their
presidential candidates. whoever they
may be, in registering themselves as
believing that women should be given
the right to vote in Virginia"

 AIDING CAMPAIGN IN LOW A

"On to Iowa-help save that State from double suffrage" has become the rallying cry at every State anti suffrage headquarters within the last week.
 Mrs Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association opposed to Woman Suffrage, who has been attending the biennial meeting of the National Federation of Day Nurser- les, of which she is president, at Chi cago will devote a Yew days to per sonal work among the anti-suffrage leaders of Iowa, this week
 Massachusetts has been sending it's victorious anti-suffrage officials into Iowa for several months; Pennsyl- vana, which has had its best workers Tn West Virginia for some time, has withdrawn them for use in the Iowa campaign. New York and New Jer- sey have contributed speakers, ltera- ture and funds, and are holding cake ana candy sales, luncheons and meet lhgs at every opportunity to help Iowa.
 The Woman's Protest, national or gan of the anti-suffragists, has prom ised a special May campaign num- Der which, it is said, will prove great drive against the suffrage front from the least expected quarter m which the votes-for- women strong holds will be leveled by storm
 All the latest" woman suffrage arguments will be answered, and in addition, others presented which the ants are confident the suffragists cannot contradict.

that it is "the geologist's clock" by which he tells the time in the worlds history when any rock bed was formed.
 The economic importance of paleon- tology has been repeatedly shown in this country. In the earlier exploita- ton of anthracite coal thousands of dollars were fruitlessly expended in New York in search of coal beds until the New York geologists showed that the beds in that State could contain no coal. The fossils in the New York rocks exploited are of Devonian age. whereas the fossils of the Pennsyl- vanian anthracite coal beds belong to the Carboniferous, much later per iod. This discovery at once stopped a useless expenditure of money.
 In times of doubt and perplexity the geologist therefore turns to the paleontologist for light on the age and original order of the rock beds he is studying. The study of the animal and plant remains that are embedded in the rocks has thus be- come an important part of geologic work, and although the specialists who are engaged in this study are few, their work is of high importance.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

"I once read the story of an angel who stole out of heaven and came to this world one bright, sunshiny day; roamed through field, forest, city and hamlet, and as the sun went down plumed his wings for the return flight The angel said, Now that my visit is over, before l return l must gather some mementoes of my trip" He looked at the beautiful flowers in the garden and said How lovely and fragrant" and plucked the rarest roses, made bouquet, and sal6, Il see nothing more beautiful and frag- rant than the flowers" The angel looked further, and saw bright eyed. rosy checked child, and said, That baby is prettier than the flowers; I will take that, too," and looking be- hind to the cradle, he saw a mothers love pouring out over her babe like q gushing spring, and the angel said, "The mothers love is the prettiest thing l have seen; l will take that,
 And with these three treasures the heavenly messenger winged his flight to the pearly gates saying, Before I go l must examine my mementoes of my trip to the earth" He looked at the flowers; they had withered. He looked at the baby's smile, and it had faded. He looked at the mothers love, and it shone in all it's pristine beauty. Then he threw away the withered flowers, cast aside the faded smile, and with the mothers love pressed to his breast swept through the gates into the city, shouting that the only thing he had found that would retain it's fragrance from earth to heaven is a mothers love.-Billy Sunday.

A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town furnishes the coffin The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to city af- fairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pull. ing back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be bowling hard times, breaches the funeral and sings the doxology, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care. -Fairview Herald.

Because of the rise in price of pa per and the shortage of raw material for the making of paper, the Ladies Aid society of the Madison Square Presbyterian church, San Antonio, Texas, has taken up the matter of collecting waste paper to dispose of it by the carloads as a means of raising funds for payment on the new parish house soon to be biult The commit tee has procured a storage room where the paper will be collected until a sufficient amount is on hand to make up a carload. The collection of waste paper has been followed for some time by men who are out of employ ment, by the sale of which they have been able to make a living during their enforced term of idleness for the support of themselves and fami- lies. In some instances entire families are engaged in the collection of waste paper, as they are also engaged in the collection of tinfoil, rags, bones, brass, bottles and other junk.
