German Flat Shot Down.

Taylor Citizens of the town OF Hix-
ton are asking each other at every
corner: ''Who put the German flag
where the Star Spangled Banner had
been waving? !" When the flag Of the
kaiser was seen floating from the top
of a fiagpole citizens rushed for their
guns and in short time had filed
the offensive banner with holes. When
some one hit the pole and brought
down the flag there were eager hands
to catch it and tear it into shreds. 5,

sin, will be manufactured elsewhere
and the state of Wisconsin and its citi-
zens who are interested in the traffic
will lose their investments, without
helping the cause of temperance or
prohibition anywhere.
There is another phase of this ques-
ton which we must consider. The
beer brewing and distilling interests
of the state employ approximately 49,
600 people, directly or indirectly The
men thus employed are receiving good
wages. The industry is thoroughly
unionized and the working conditions,
am told, are the best for the men
that have thus far been obtained in
any of the industries of the state
These men protest against the destruc-
ton of their employment, and in view
of the present high cost of living and
the possible difficulties in securing re-
munerative employment as we become

Briefly stated, then, the argument
that present to you against this pro-
vision In the bill is this:
II adopted by the people it will,
without aiding the cause of temper
ance, destroy millions OF dollars of
property in the state Of Wisconsin.
II will throw approximately $4,000
men out of employment.
1t will lost to the state many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
am sure that this situation will
appeal to the people of the state of

ness Judgment and their sense OF fair
ness and justice. know that they do
not wish to harm citizens needlessly,
and the friends of the bill will surely
not maintain that it would be weak
ened before the people with these pro-
visions eliminated.
Under these same provisions of the
bill If farmer manufactures key of
cider or wine made of wild grapes, cur
rants or other fruits for his own use,
as is the custom among our farmer
folk, he would be permitted to keep it
only for his personal consumption. If
he gives any Of it to any of his fam
lily or serves 1t on his table to his
friends or guests he would make him
self liable to the penalties of the law.
Interfering With Rights.
1 shall not believe that the friends
of practical temperance wish to carry
prohibition thus far Regulative meas
ures such as the bill we have before
us should go no further in interfering
with the habits of the people than is
necessary to protect them against the
evil results that follow the use of an
article, which in this case Is intoxicat-
ing liquor The manufacture of wine
for his own use and that of his family
has been long established custom
among the farmers of Wisconsin. No
one has been heard to complain that it
has ever produced drunkenness or any
evil results against which the state
should take drastic action. 1t seems to
me that it is privilege that belongs

and, it would indeed be an awkward
situation if we by law create a situa-
ton in this state under which farm
er who makes a keg of cider or key
of wild grape wine cannot share it
with his family, but must consume it
all himself.
You will readily observe that you are
not forbidding the manufacture of the
product. You are merely combining it's
use to the individual who actually
manufactures it. The bill should be

Caring for $1,000.

I wish to ask the question: What
assurance can you give $4,000 work
ingmen, whose wages are now secured
by contract, that they shall have re-
munerative employment after these in
dustries are closed?
Inasmuch as the continuance of
these industries for the purpose of
manufacturing for people beyond the
borders of the state of Wisconsin can
not and does not enter into the ques-
tion of prohibition in this state, the
conf1scation of this property and the
taking away of this employment must
be considered nothing more nor less
than the exercise of an arbitrary pow
er by the. state without cause or rea-
son, because the production is not for
our consumption and therefore does
not enter the lives of our own people;
nor will it reduce the consumption of
liquor in other sections where the sale
is permitted.
There is another aspect of this prop
osition that we must not lose sight of.
The liquor manufacturing institutions
of the state are among our largest tax
payers. If we close the doors of these
institutions they become practically
worthless and the citizens will be
called upon to pay many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in taxes that are
now being paid by the brewers and
distillers. The income tax which these
people pay would be entirely lost to
the state, which last year amounted to
approximately $25O,OO0, nearly all of
which can be saved if we will permit
them to manufacture and ship out of
the state, even though we forbid the
sale OF their product in the state.
submit that this is not good time to
needlessly reduce the taxable property
of the state.

Since the establishment of the banking system on February in the public schools of Pine Bluff, the Lakeside pupils have purchased 5S shares of the High School bank stock and have deposits in the savings ac- count amounting to SEQ. We have encouraged the children who were spending their money daily to de- posit it and find that it has worked wonders this far, besides the teach ing of the business of banking. They have elected two directors, cashier and assistant cashier. They hare
 their meetings, and attend to tie business under the direction of the principal of the school. The public would be surprised to know how many thrifty boys and girls there are Tin Lakeside school. In making a canvass of the school we find at least one-half of them had a savings &C., Fcount with some of our city banks, many of them from $1O0 to $500 each. We have library of about 500 VOL umes, and the children are always eager for Friday afternoon to get a book. The pathetic part of it is that there are not more good story books for them.

HOME GARDENERS SHOW

All Sorts of Garden Truck Being Grown "at Home," and Many Vacant

 Never before, in the history of Pine Bluff, have there been so many back yard gardens, as are Being cultivated this year, and wherever one may so in any section of the city there will be found large and small tracts de- voted to the production of all sorts of vegetables and garden truck
 Prof. J. R. Allen is cne of the most enthusiastic of the home gardeners, and that he is one of the most sue cessful is demonstrated by the fact that he is already enjoying new po- tatoes, from his own patch.
 There are hundreds of Pine Bluff folks who are eating radishes, mus tard greens, lettuce, onions and other such early stuff out of their own patches, while from all sections come reports that peas and beans are in blossom, some home gardeners even reporting young pods forming
 Mrs. Lucy Critz, canning club agent for Jefferson county, who is compil- ing list of vacant lots and tracts in the city, which have been rendered rent free, for cultivation by school children or others who may desire to cultivate the tracts, reports a very generous offering of these lots by their owners. Secretary E. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce, who also has been compiling such a list, in cooperation with Mrs. Critz, also reports satisfactory response to the call, and states that any one who desires to cultivate one or more of these tracts can make the arrange ments by communicating with him.

there will be war. Not until God, thru the principles of righteousness, shall have destroyed sin, can there be . world peace. There cannot be a great character without conflicts and trials; therefore, we can't hope to have peace without war.
 "Out of every war the world has come closer to Gods ideal of right eousness. From the Boxer uprising a new China was born. Out of the war between China and Japan, a new Ja- pan came into existence; out of the great European struggle already a new Russia has risen.
 "In President Wilson's deliverance before congress on April 2, the world was given a new vision of human ity. Europe herself didn't know what she was struggling for. It was left to him ,as spokesman of American people, to tell the real cause of this
 war, and that is: Autocracy fight ing against democracy.
 "Would any dare to say that God does not know, or knowing, is indif- ferent to this awful war. If such is the case, then there is no God.
 God, thru this struggle, is work ing out a change in the government of the world, and the purpose is the final triumph of righteousness"

SALVATION CAN
 RE GAINED BY
 GROSS ONLY Dr. Cox Breaches on Love of Christ for Humanity,
 and the Lesson.
(By Marie Atkinson.)

 Dr. w. J. E.. Cox. at the First Bap- Corinthians, first chapter and twenty crucified, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" saying:
 "In the preceding chapters of the first Corinthians we found that there: were three classes of people in Cor inth, the Jews, who expected a great Messiah and deliveries; the Greeks who were searching for wisdom and rhetorical art to enrich their intel lects; and those composed of both Greeks and Jews. who had already received the doctrine of Christianity. Here Dr. Cox pointed out that mans extremity was Gods opportunity. He had allowed the people to rely upon their wisdom, their science and philo- sophy long enough for them to reach the limit of their intellectually, and then, in their need. God provided sal vation by the cross. What simple plan, yet too simple to be grasped by a great many.
 "Paul took as his therem. Christ Crucified,' and all that these words imply. And this is not dim mythi- cal story but historical fact, liv- ing, wonderful, stupendOus fact. The Gospel still lives. It has cOmpassed the globe. It has transformed nations and has dictated our greatest laws and is now marching on to greater victory. It is the blessed doctrine of one suffering for many. the old story of sacrificing love. People today | will praise noble deeds of love and | sacrifice, yet the Savior was denied l the right to suffer for his children.
 "The picture of Christ upon the cross is not an attractive one, but the thought of the love that prompted the sacrifice and the blessings we are deriving from it, makes it beauti- full to us. None are benefited by this however. but such as are willing to initiate the purity, patience and self abnegation of tho Savior.
 '"The manner of Paul's preaching was simple and direct. He did not try to hide his doctrine by the flowery speech and philosophical teachings that the Greeks delighted in. Nor did he make his story full of the super natural, marvellous signs that the Jews looked for. He was full of l 'CnrlSt CTuClIleu. lie dlSO DcCdIIlc dIl things to all men to win some for Christ. He adapted himself to cir cumstances and preached to both Jews and Gentiles.
 ''To the Jews, the Gospel was a stumbling block. They could not understand the simple message. To the Greeks the Gospel was not diff fcult enough to understand. They expected a complex puzzle of philoso- phy.
 But to them that are called or be- lieve the teachings of Paul come as a divine blessing, a deliverance from darkness to light, a fellowship with Christ, means of bringing peace. In him they see the treasures of wis dom and all the wonderful possibili- ties of an exalted life.''

 While in the fighting mood, guess Mexico will be thrown into the bloody cauldron.
