On the
Spur Of the
Moment
Fable for Young Girls.

Fable for Young Girls.
oh, once there was little girl, a
naughty girl was she,
She was so very wilful and as bad
as she could be,
She never helped her ma a bit, but
sassed her back instead,
And she never did the dishes and she
never made her bed!
She was very pretty girl. but good
ness. oh so vain,
And she had an older sister who was
most extremely plain,
So their mother she was fondest of the
older daughter, Pearl,
For though she was not a Pippin, she
was Such a Worthy Girl
She stayed at home to sew and mend
as proper maidens should,
And her sister called her poky and an
awful goody- good.
But their mother always says that
Pearl would have a happy life,
And says that she was sure to make
some man a model wife
OF Curse at this, the youn ger May,
she tossed her hayward head,
And went and picked her richest beau
and soon the two were wed.
And to her ma young May observed,
with quite a roguish glance,
She'll never make a wife at all
she'll never get the chance."

that it will be an aid in solving the
immigration problem between the Uni

farm colony near Seattle, Washington
will be started here next Monday. Be
ginning then a group Of Japanese will
be sent every year to work on the mod

These immigrants will be graduates o.

institution of which Mr.. SumiWu Hat

of the late Ayawo Hattori, who work
ed for friendship between Japan and
America until his death in the United
States several years ago.
between the two countries was the
way to unravel the immigration tangle
between the two countries was the
raise the standard Of Japanese in the
United States He died before he could
realize this idea, which has now been
: taken up by4his son, the principal of
the Middle School.
The land near Seattle where these
educated immigrants will work was
bought for this purpose through the eff

TRANCE WILL NOT SEE PROHIBI-
TON FOR YEARS, DRY LEADER
SAYS
(By United Press)

Paris, March 8 .(By MaiD-' France
will not see prohibition of alcohol for
years.
This brief explanation of one of the
most agitated internal subjects in
France Just now was made to the Uni
ted Press today by Jean Finot, noted
French writer, author and President of
the French society for action against
alcohol.
Mr.. Finot predicts long and bitter
fight before France is placed on the
footing Of prohibition. Widely circu-
lated reports that French legislative
bodies would soon enact dry France
we're denied by Mr.. Finot.
prohibition in France does not
mean, as the word means in America, an
absolutely dry France. It means the
elimination Of brandy, whiskey and 9th
er spirituous liquors which do so much
damage to the peoples of any country
The proverbial French light wine will
always remain
The fight against alcohol which
the prohibition forces of France are
making has the most bitter opposition
When it is considered that over 4 mil
lion people have their interests connec-
ted with the production, distribution
and sale Of liquor this is not surprising.
tfBut France will eliminate LIQUOR
in time, probably in about three years
just as American states have done. The
movement already has great and grow
ing support and is backed morally by
some Of Frances greatest men.
M. Finot g latest book, entitled
THE Enemy of the INTERIOR quotes
various authorities to demonstrate that
French wounded during the present
struggle, who were habitual users of
alcohol, have shown a remarkable ten
dency to succumb to wounds which
would not prove fatal to non-aleohol
les.
Prhibition will be one of the greatest
after the war questions in France. Il
is expected to precipitate more legisla
tive and popular interest than any sub
ject has done for years.
