Mouth loyalty is not worth much
when a country Is at war What the
nation needs today is punch and en-
phasis and results. In other words.
Uncle Sam expects every one Of us to

He has distinguished himself in the
literary field as we'll. But his great
est achievement was few years ago
when he put on an old suit of clothes
in the dead of winter and went to live
among the thousands of men who,
without homes or work, found them
selves compelled to sleep in the pub
lie parks at night. For three months
he lived with them, studied their hab-
its and characters. and since then
has told the story more than 1000
times to delighted audiences.

In Orofino Novmber 20. Keep the
date in mind.
During the past week the writer
has heard two visitors to Orofino ex-
press delight at the beauty about Oro-
f1no. and each of these gentlemen
said they never saw a more delightful
spot. They are men who have trav-
eled much, and in their opinion Oro-
fino has the making of a really good
town. They said 1t could not help
but grow because ii has the natural
resources, and these must some day be
developed. Some day Orofino will
have payroll worth while.

In making this comparison 1t seems
fair to consider the manufacture over
a five-year period. Prohibition has
been discussed and advocated and OPP
posed In the various provinces of tho
Dominion for more than that length
of time: but 1t has been since 1912
that the greatest progress in achieve
ment has been made
LOCAL option laws were In effect In
Eastern Canada and during the past
Ave years or so have been brought
into, application in great number Of
new municipalities All through QCe~
hec and Ontario these dry areas came
into being In considerable profusion.
But 1t was not until 1918 that a
province actually went dry to the ex-
tent of abcl;shing all bars and liquor
stores, with the exception OF few
government vendors. Saskatchewan
led the way in this respect and was
followed a year later by Alberta and
Manitoba. which went completely dry
Then Ontario followed suit and now
British Columbia ia dry.
For long before 1915. however, the
liquor people had for seen nhe posi-
biiity Of The dry area OF Canada being
substantially added 20, and the factor
les had reduced their output The
British Coiumhi dlstiiiery is good
example Of this--ii is used TO make
as much as $50, 600 gallons in a year
and now 1t has stopped manufacturing.

1t will be observed that there was a
drop OF more than two and half mill

ANNIE WILSON OF ROsLIN

The beautiful collegiate chapel of Roslin, near Edinburgh had for many years during the latter part of the eighteenth century a woman as cus- todian. This was Annie Wilson, whose birthday was May 12, in the year 1756. Annie became famous for her knowledge of the legends that surrounded the church and people came from far and wide to listen to her. She told of how the barons of Roslin were always buried in mail; how, when any evil or death was to befall any of them a light always ap- peared in the chapel on the night before. Mrs. Wilson also gave, in her quaint inartistic way, a description of the architecture of the chapel, which was, of course, more humorous than serious to her auditors for the reason that she knew nothing of architecture or periods, etc. There were also sev- eral latin inscriptions on the chapel windows as well as on the grave stones of the noblemen buried there and her translations of these inscrip- tions were veritable scream to those who had studied latin. She recited everything in a monotonous voice, taking one thing after another, and no amount of laughter on the part of those who listened would disturb her discourse. When Annie died she was buried in the churchyard of the chapel which she had guarded for so many years and there her grave can be seen to this day.
