TO ARMS 1!
A Call to Patriotic American
Citizens.

This is rather startling announ-
cement but ! think you will agree
with me that il is a necessity after
you have read this article.
You say. What does all this
mean. Why is such call going
out when We are enjoying a time
of so much peace and plenty" IL
is not a call to protect our country
from the attacks Of another world
power. II is q call to protect our
native country and home from an
enemy that is a friend to no people,
hut an enemy 10 all humanity. I
am appealing to the citizens of the
free United States Of America" TO
rise up in all your strength and
manhood and eradicate forever from
this free and beautiful land Of ours,
Whisky" which has caused more
sorrow and loss OF money than any
war ever did. How can we hesitate
to kick this abominable traffic back
into hell from whence il came when
We see almost every day some slave
of its satanical greed. IL is not sat
isied with robbing a man OF all OF
his money, but it goes farther than
that and robs him of, what is inf
nitely more precious. his soul.
This is the most important ques-
tlon which is before the American
people to-day and there is nothing
that great men can do that would
be- OF greater service tn humanity
than to exert all Of their influence
toward the abolishing of the liquor
traffic from this land and the addi-
tiOn Of two new laws 10 the national
laws in Washington. The first be-
ing, 1T shall be against the law TO
sell any alchoholic beverages any,
where in the United States" and
second This law can never be re-
pcaled.' There is legend concern
ing the origin Of whiskey. II tells
that once in the far past, while the
devil was out in the world trying TO
get people with which to mn up the
lower regions, all of the poor sin
nCrs escaped from hell and when he
came back and found them all gone
he sat down and began thinking how
he could get more people into his
dominions without working so hard.
He finally hit upon the plan Of Civ
ing men something that would lower
their intellects and morals TO such
an extent that they wouldn't even
think of the higher and nobler
things. So he set himself TO work
and concocted a mixture now known
as whiskey, and sat back and before
very long the people began rolling
in, the stream becoming larger and
larger thru the ages. This, citizens
Of America, is the kind of thing that
is destroying our men and women
every day. And for this reason
say ITO Arms !" against this arch
enemy of mankind.
Ability measures obligation"
You have the ability by means Of
the vote 10 wipe this thing from the
United States. Will you allow this
country Of ours which was paid for
by the blood Of the patriots OF Is
to be ruled by an enemy which is
more dangerous than England ever
was? II is in your hands as Ameri-
can citizens who hold the right TO
vote. What will you dor

THE HAPPY MAN
BY Leonard L. Fenwiok

He is the happy man who is glad
of his birth, pleased with his
parents and thankful for the time,
place and conditions of his earthly
habitation:
Who remembers the mother who
lulled him 20 sleep. the father who
paced the floor nightly, and the sis
ter who taught him. Our Father
who art in Heaven"
Who remembers the time his
brother pushed him in a snowbank
when coasting down hill, his first
visit to the old swimming pool
against his mothers command, the
night he was chased from water
melon patch, the day his father
marched him home from that old
ball diamond;
Who recalls his first days of
boarding school-the new town, the
strange faces, the different food, his
awkwardness in the presence Of a
new roommate, the retrospect on
that first night away from kinsfolk;
Who thinks often of his first visit
to the city; how some "newsies"
iccred at him for stretching" at
the skyscrapers, how some men
laughed at him when he slipped on
the slippery tile floor Of an Office
building. how his heart fluttered
when he scared upward in an ele-
vator, how he jumped at the toot of
Il horn and was snatched from the
front of a street car by burly po-
liceman:
Who remembers his first job; his
first experience with poverty; the
first feeling of friendlessness: the
first reprimand: the first. second and
third failures: his first salary: his
first expenditures: his first promo
ton;
Who has not forgotten his first
love-her face, hair. eyes, hands,
mouth and her words: the spat: the
quarrel; the return Of presents; the
shaken faith in woman;
Who realizes that he is now a
man. an expression of nature; an
image Of God: humanity's workman,
Who has determined TO follow a
definite vocation until the commune
~ recognizes his success. Who is
contented to let the other fellows
grass remain greenest. Who shows
faithfulness in unsatisfactory con-
ditions. Who recognizes his own
life. yet always guided by broad
minded men in the questions beyond
his own experience;
Who measures his success by the
conscientious effort he puts forth
to bequeath to humanity his best de-
velOpment;
Who keeps the gossip Of today
until tomorrow, and never talks
about the past To whom yester-
day is today. today transition, and
tomorrow his workshop;
Who respects woman as he re-
spects his sister: who loves them as
he loves his mother; who reverences
them as he reverences life; 10
whom woman is not a satisfier Of
hunger, but a fulfillment Of the de-
vine and sacred command to be
fruitful and multiply. Whose de-
sire is to have a plain home, flowers
and shrubbery around the door, the
worlds greatest authors on the
bookshelf, children TO supply the
glow of life, and a fireplace as a re-
minder Of the fire OF courtship days.
Who prefers a clean conscience
to the walls Of doctrine and philos-
ophy and sees in nature the express
sion of an unseen love. Who sees

Little Devils.
For each, in its turn, IL but given
an inch, will take a mile. The Little

powers sap and suck at your very
life's blood.
Your Biggest Task Each Day is to
Start by Kidding Yourself of Your
Little Devils.
DO not allow your Little Devils To
deceive you. They wear false faces,
they smile quite smoothly. Yes, they
speak softly oft times. But ever be
on guard. They are bound to follow
you from place to place. But IL you
are BIG enough, II you are brave,
and calm enough. ever self-controll-
ed your Little Devils might as well
not exist as far as you are con-

CUPID BUSY IN cot NTnV.
Half OF Rural Eighth Grade Girl

OLYMPIA, June 15.--In the rural
districts of the state during the last
four years the number of girls who
have graduated from the eighth grade
and since married are about equal to
those who have continued their stud
les in the high school. according to
records compiled in the office of
Mrs. Josephine Preston. state super
intendent of public instruction.
This would indicate that among
the young girls who complete the
eighth grade cupid appears to have
a great lure, If not greater, than Mi
