HELPS FURNITURE BUSINESS.

The News-Leader of Richmond. Va,
testlfying to the benefits of prohibition,
quotes furniture dealers of that city:
For the seven months before prohi-
bition went into effect we averaged
eighteen cases month where we had
to take back furniture on which people
could not pay the iDstallments due"
said one furniture dealer. "Since pro-
hibition became law, we have had only
twenty-one returns, three month. In
other words, we had six times as many
returns before prohibition as since the
saloons We're closed"
A second man In the same business
said: "My books are open to inspec-
tion. They will show that since pro-
hibition went into effect, my collections
have averaged 60 per cent more
month than they did before November
/, 1916"
"Who can measure the happiness,
the creature comforts and the improve
ment in home life these two statements
discloseT' queries the News-Leader.
"Who can guage the waste prevented
and the thrift encouraged? Who can
reckon the children clothed, the homes
made bright, the wives made happy,
the burdens nfted?"

A WlTLESS POLICY.

Representative Charles 81. Randall
of California, addressing congress in
opposition to the amendment to the
revenue bill placing higher tax on
liquors, used this telling illustration !:
"The witless heather who on the
Ganges covered his black limbs with
leeches and ate them when they had
fattened on his blood was wise. He
took back into his body all they had
taken from 1t. We fasten on the lank
limbs of our body polite the lecherous
traffic, and give fawning thanks when
IT returns one drop Of poisoned blood
from seven it had sucked from our
wholesome civic veins"

1t pays to farm good land.
Some fields produce a bale Of
cotton per acre while others
produce less than a third of q
bale per acre. The breaking,
planting and cultivation on the
good soil is just the same as
on the poor soils. The only
added cost in producing the
larger yield is in the picking
and marketing. When cotton
is worth 500 per bale the
difference in the earning ca
pacity of the better land as
compared with the poorer land
would be about $66 less the
cost of additional picking.

TAKE MORE PRIDE
IN YOUR TOWN

Town pride is pride that
should be cultivated by every
citizen of Newark.
1t is the duty of every man
who lives in Newark to do his
dead level best for everything
that concerns the welfare of
Newark because this town is
his home. 1t is my town and
your town-it is going to be
Just what we make it-you
and me.
To do this is not merely q
privilege it is sacred duty.
Whatever helps to build up
a business or institution, or en-
terprise of any kind in this
town helps to improve the con-
ditions of all jewellers therein.
All the units of composite
population should work togeth-
er, pull together, build togeth-
er and plan together for the in
creased prosperity and happi-
ness for their community.
We should gather the lessons
taught by other towns and cit
les that have felt inspiration
of city pride and then apply
these lessons to our own COM
munity.
Intentions no matter how
good and how sincere they may
be are worth but little unless
carried into action. 1t is what
we do, and not what we intend
doing that counts.

YANKEE "RUTHLESSNESS"

The efforts of the North Ameri- can money princes and their hire ling Wilson to grab trade with South America, and especially to throttle with golden letters Brazil and Ar geutiua, assume constantly more ruthless forms. Brazil has for some time considered herself at war with Germany, and, according to the lat est reports, Argentina is about to break off diplomatic relations. The outbreak Of the war was the signal for the Yankees to bUrl themselves upon South America, like Yultures, and attempt to swallow Germany 8 share of trade with South America, amounting to $3360OO,O00 8 year.
 Future developments will depend primarily on the length of the war. The longer Germany is cut off from the South American market, the harder she will find it to recover her share of trade. It is compara- lively easy in the case of imports, but as to exports South America it must be remembered that the de mand for finished products exists and Las not to be created; con- seQuently, the longer the South Americans are compelled to take non-German, and especially Ameri- can products, the more accustomed they will become to them and the more anxious to avoid another change.-From the Weser Zeitung, Bremen, Germany.
