HOME MEETINGS OF w. c. T. U. PROVE TO
 BE GREAT SUCCESS

One of the best attended and most interesting meetings of the w. C. T. U. yet held was that Of yester. day at the home of Mrs. Ralph Kletzing. This was the first trial Of the new plan of holding the pro. gram meetings at the homes of the members rather than in the church parlors. The idea is to give more of a social character to these gatherings and also to encourage the local at- tendance of neighbors of the hos. tess.
 A paper was read by Mrs. w. W. Shorthill on the subject Different phases of Mothers responsibili. ties" Mrs. Shorthill emphasized her arguments with illustrations ta. ken from leading magazines ani newspapers which were read by Mesdames Kletzlng, Blackwell and Harvey. The paper was practical and interesting. Mrs. J. V. Davis rccited "The Little Old Cradle in the Attic" a pathetic selection that recalled childhood days; also Moth. CT" story Of a precocious present day youngster.
 The musical feature of the pro- gram consisted of two solos sang by Mrs. Dawes in her own attrac. tive rendering. Mother McCrae," and "Nevin's Lullaby" The program was not only a a\profitable one but also most enjoyable It is hoped that many of the ladies of the town will avail themselves of this agency for public service as we'll as of self culture and moral strengthening.

SMOKER GIVEN BY A. B. LAST EVENING
 SHOWS REAL CLASS

Some Smoker"-was the manner in which all of the guests of the Arctic Brotherhood expressed them. selves when the jolly affair had drawn to a close last night. The committee on smokers and enter. tainment staged one of the most successful Havana pullers that has been pulled off in the Capital City for some time. It was the unani. nous vote of all that they come more often.
 The Capital City Band was primed for the occasion. They stirred the crowd to a pitch of en. thusiasm with their choice selec. tions and blanketed the house with spirit of pep and ginger.
 Three fast bouts by speedy con. testants added to the merriment Two minutes with a minute rest, three rounds to the contest, in which fire and birthstone flew from the blows of the glGdiators filled the hall with sporting fumes and made the onlookers want to fly into the ring and challenge the winner.
 Clements, 145, won the decision over Barker IF. Both showed art in the manipulation of the gloves. This match was followed by clever bout by Dermody, 15S, and Sprague, at l54. Dermody won close decision and was proclaim ed the champ. The closing bout by Georgeson and Martin was a humdinger. Both were primed for the afrray. During the course of the battle, both of them hit the mat from a well directed blow of his adversary. The decision went to Georgeson.
 A clever monologue skit by Benja. min Gold brought the house down in ughter. His impersonation of a Yiddisher having difficulty over a phone was q scream.
 The Alaska Quartette was encored for a second selection and had time afforded a second or third appearance would not have quieted the house.
 Jack Cochrane of Thane refereed the bouts. Grover Vim and Lester Gore acted as judges.

BILL JAMES MAY
 PLAY ON COAST
 THIS SEASON
Crack Boston TWirIer Is. Hankering After a
 Position with
 the Seals.

Bill James, former Seattle star, may become Seal; that is, if he should chance to become a free agent in consequence of a wrangle with the Boston club.
 James salary was liberauy sliced this year in consequence of the fail ure Of his arm to respond in 1916, and he has refused to sign. Bill has an idea that this makes him a free agent. He approached Wolverton and asked if the Seals could use him in the event of his being at liber- y. Wolyerton told him yes.
 James arm has not been exactly right since the worlds series games he pitched in 1914. If his arm comes back, he would make-a great hurler for the Seals. But Wolver- ton is not banking on his man to any extent.

USERS or EXPLOSIVES MUST
SECURE FEDERAL LICENSES

A Federal license is now requir-
ed in the United States for the legal
possession of explosives, any per-
son having explosives and not hold
ing license therefor being subject
to fine of $1,000 and imprison-
ment for one year.
Only citizens of the United
States and friendly countries may
obtain licenses. The purchaser of
dynamite must state definitely what
the explosive is to be used for when
obtaining his license, and viii be
held accountable for its use as
stated and the return of any that
may be left.
With the strict enforcement of
this law the Federal authorities
hope to prevent explosives falling
into the hands of eviily disposed
persons, and to put a stop to all
further dynamite plots.

REMEMBER The PAST

Under the above warning caption
The Elizabethtown News make
1.-THE following terse statement whicl
is self-explanatory and cannot b
made clearer or more pungent o
closer the truth by comment. Tn,
News says:
There has been nothing more pre-
sumptious in Kentucky politics thar
the attempt of the vets to organize
the next Legislature and submit .
State wide Prohibition amendment
which they propose to vote against
and use every means to defeat.
There would be just as mucr
reason in summoning Boies Pen
rose to write the next DemocrailC
National platform. 81
The prohibition amendment should
be framed by its friends, not its
enemies, whether those enemies be
open or concealed. Its passage
through the Legislature should be
in charge of those who want to see
it adopted, and not by those who
would like to see it beaten 100000
votes.
There has never been anything
so palpable as this trick of the
liquor interests to get control of a
Legislature that is to submit an
which they hope to beat.
There rs nothing about it that saw
ors of oandor or honor; ali about
it is that malodorous record of de-
ception and dishonesty that has
marked the course of this sinister
crew in Kentucky politics for 20
years.
The story of the Hutchcraft law
md the Anti-Shipping bill in the
asst Legislature is sufficient warn
ng for the coming Legislature not
% repeat its folly.
A law, framed by Prohibitionists,
md having for its purpose the clos
ng of saloons in Covington and
Newport on Sunday was defeated
lnder orders of the Administration
nd the notorious Hutchcraft sub
titute, endorsed by whisky polite
ans, whisky lobbyists and whisky
MEMBERS of the Legislature, was
'assed. The result was that the
aloons of Covington and Newport
ontinue to defy the law, and that
he Hutchcraft law is impoteHt 80
emedy the evil.
The anti-shipping bill is a slight.
: different story, but with the
anne moral. An administration,
olemnly pledged to uphold the
ounty unit law, ruthlessly defeated
MS measure which was the most
nportant of all bills to preserve
nd strengthen that law. A signed
etition of So members of the
louise to call it from the Rules
ommitiee to a vote, was placed
nder the heel of a whisky speaker,
liking orders from a whisky ad-
These are instances of dry laws
to their wet foes. These
re concrete examples of the
laughter that Prohibition received
rom its enemies in the last Legis-
ture, and they are likewise
arning of what may he expected
, happen to the Statewide amend
ent if the State Administration
ontrOls the next House.
Forewhrned is forearmed, and
he Representatives, elected on a
ry platform, who votes with the
administration in the organization
the House, has a poor way of
rowing his faith.
