Ground Hog Day

Wednesday was the old time,
regular, weather-casting ground
hog day and as the sun cast all
sorts os shadows the most of the
time, it is fair to presume that
for six weeks we will have bum
weather. The second of this
month, the day newly devised
for the weather prophet to ap-
pear and let the people know
what to expect, was also bright,
so we cannot settle the question
again this year and re-establish
the non-porkable swine in his
correct date, but it is Feby. IA,
just the same. Watch the pro-
fessor.

Little Girl Was His Own Daughter,
Says Operator OF "Speakeasy"
When Brought To Trial for Main
tanning An Alleged Public Nui-
SanCs.

The child Is often said to be the
most pathetic victim of prohibition.
The bootlegger, an outlaw in his
profession, in the absence of state
regulation and control, finds in the
child an easy victim, sometimes
selling him liquor and sometimes
employing him in the pursuit of the
traffic. An instance of the close al
lance in which little girl was the
tool, is shown in the following item
from the Lewiston (Me. Journal:
1t is bad enough to dispense
liquors in a prohibition state but 1t
is still worse to allow minors to fre-
quent the places in which liquor is
bartered,
This is the conclusion to be
drawn from the arraignment of W.
LaFrance in the Lewiston munich
pal court, Monday, and 1t was the
sentiment expressed by Judge Cur
ran, who heard the case and im-
posed sentence.
LaFrance, alleged to have pre-
vious record, was charged with
search and seizure, with single sale
and with maintaining nuisance.
He was also charged with allowing
a girl of tender years to frequent
the place in which the offenses were
committed.
The respondent pleaded no
guilty to all the charges and waived
trial, in all but the last. Judg.
Curran sentenced him to pay fu'
of $50 and costs and serve so day.
In Jail on the search and seizure
count, and, probable cause beir S
found on the nuisance charge.

tighten the public as to the uses and

"The states have collected many
millions of dollars from the same
sources, but, sad to say, the
knowledge which the public has on
that subject, so far as the Com
monwealths are concerned, is SO
completely blended with politics
that precise information is lacking.
and unless change is made there
can never be a ground for general
concession arrived at between the
vets and the drys.
If the agitator were removed and
official inquiry were made by COM
mission in which the public could
impose Its confidence, then the pub
lie mind on both sides would be
disabused of many things concern
ing this great volume of trade.
Perhaps a commission of that
character could point out the way
in which the liquor trade could be
restricted to the conservative
drinker, while evils charged agains,
1t could be eliminated.

To Get Out of Debt.

In the Woman's Home Companion
is an article on debt and how to get
out Of it by a woman who was almost
ruined by her husbands carelessness
and extravaganza. Among other things
she says:
"If family that has been living
outside its income wants to start to
live inside, something more than good
resolve is necessary Usually that
man and woman have got to form a
wholly new circle of friends. They
must leave those who are living out
side and take up their abode among
those who are living inside Man is q
gregarious animal. His will power
needs all the help It can get from a
congenial and approving public opin-
ion"
