India's Prize Fighting Birds.

In most countries little birds are
matched against one another for
beauty of plumagc or strength of song,
but in India they are taught prize
fighting.
The quail is most commonly used In
these prize competitions, and the bird
dealers who stock the fighting kind do
a good trade among the natives. The
birds are kept In cages, scores and
scores being on view at the various
bird dealers shop Those who engage
in the sport 20 the round Of those
shops, and select those birds that seem
quarrelsome to the other inmates OF
the cage. For the small additional fee
of five cents in our money the priv
ilege Is given of selecting from the
stock In hand.
Only the male birds are used, the
females being placed IN their cages
within sight of the battle royal to en-
courage their mates to fight. This
they readily do by means Of peculiar
whistle. The natives have side stakes
on the fight, but the only consolation
the winning bird receives for perhaps
a few bruises and n good shaking up
is a liberal feed Of dellcnces.

Conducted by the National WomAn's
Christian Temperance Union)
REASONS FOR RATIFYiNo.

Among seven reasons given BY
Wayne b. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon league, why states should
ratify the prohibition amendment are
these:
A national evil requires national
remedy. Our interstate relations and
the inherent, vicious character Of the
II lffic make II national evil The al
cOholic may drink liquor In one state
and commit crime or become a public
charge in another. The remedy must
be as far-reaching as the evil. State
boundaries are not adequate barriers
to moral contaglon and no state, care
less in such matters, should be per-
mitted to dump Its drunks and other
derelcts over the border line for a
nelghboring state to care for.
1t will result In team work between
the state and nation In dealing with
the liquor traffic. The dry states are
handicapped In their effort to enforce
prohibition as long as the federal gov
ernment continues to collect revenue
from, and recognizes the outlawed-traf-
fic in, such states. National prohlbi-
tion unites the state and federal gov
ernment in common policy for the
public good.
The purposes Of the federal govern
ment can be more easily consummat&
under national prohibition. One Of the
fundamental purposes of the federal
constitution is 'to promote the general
welfare" The courts tell us this means
TO protect public health and public
morals. The liquor traffic undermlnes
or destroys both. We cannot carry ont
the fundamental purpose of our gov
ernment If we foster, protect and en-
courage crlme-produclng business, like
the beverage liquor traffic.

WHAT NATIONWIDE PRoHIBI-
TION MEANS.

From the noise that Is made about It
among the vets, one might think pro-
hibition meant murder.
II doesn't.
IL simply means more food, and that
means lower food prices.
1t means more efficient labor, and
that means greater output. and that
means lower prices again.
1t means that the men who are now
making beer and whisky will begin to
make the equivalent Of what they con-
sumo, and that, again, means lower
prices for you.
1t means more car space for legiti-
mate commodities, and that means
faster handling of freight, and that
means lower prices.
1t means more ship tonnage to be
used in transporting material for our.
boys in France and for our allies, and
that means not only lower prices for
our allies, but the lives of American
boys saved for America.
Incidentally, II means less crime,
and that means less taxes. II means
less pauperism, and that means less
taxes. II means less insanity, and
that means less taxes. It means less
disease and death, and that means In
finite myrlads Of things for the good
old U. S. Aboard of Temperance,
Methodist Episcopal Church.

COMPENSATION FOR THE BREW.

AS an example of how a brewery
plant may become constructive In
stead of destructive agency-a ''win-
the-way" ald-we mention the Betllng-
ham (Wash.) brewery. This is now
owned by the Royal Dairy Products
company and is equipped as con,
densery and cold storage plant. Many
similar cases might be cited. In wet
etates, also, brewers, seeing the sure
approach Of prohibition. are remodel!
ing their plants for better and bigger
business. The brewers are finding
compensation.
Incidentally 1t may be mentioned
that the glass works which formerly
made beer bottles may now turn Its at
tentlon to the manufacture of milk bot
ties. Ice cream may take the place of
the Schooner" and instead of the
"growler" for the workpan's noontide
lunch will be used the thermos bottle
Of milk.

WOULD CUT PRISON POPULATION

my experience on the state COM
mission Of prisons" says Mr.. Richard
Hurd of New York, "as well as my
study Of crime In other states. makes
me confident that If wartime prohibit
tion should be adopted the population
of our prisons and jalls would be cut
in halves. AS the total number Of
men in prison In the United States
averages about 100000, this would re-
lease 250,000 men for useful tasks. I
would add that In making require
ments for prison or jail accommoda-
tions in different counties the state
commission of prisons takes official
cognizance Of whether county is wet
or dry, requiring only about half the
accommodation for dry county"

Where Soy.Bean Flourishes.

North Carolina claims rank as the
largest soy-bean-productlon state, with
an estimated crop for 1917 of 100000
bushels, an increase of 20 per cent,
over 1916. Despite this large crop, the
oil mills of eastern North Carolina i'm
ported 100000 bushels of soy-beans
recently from China. A soy-bean har-
vester has been invented by North
Carolina farmers. This harvester
thrashes the beans from the vines In
the fields.

LANDS IS THREATENED
letter Sent to Judge Presiding at
Victor Berger Trial.
Federal District Attorney and His
Assistant Also Receive
Anonymous Mail.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Cross-examina-
ton of Arnold Schiller, the first gov
ernment witness in the trial of Victor
L. Berger and four other Socialist
leaders for conspiracy to violate the
espionage act, took up many angles,
but was mainly concerned with the
memory of the soldier witness.
Schiller told OF having been arrested
and punished for being absent with
out leave from Camp Grant, but could
not remember the date Of the court
martial.
1t became known that Judge Landis
had received letter threatening him
with death and containing abusive
threats against the President and full
limitations against the government
The threatening letter received by
Judge Landis is said to have been sign
ed Sid" and to be scurrilous in
character. 1t was learned later that
anonymous threatening letters Also
were received by Charles F. Clyne,

GREAT NAVAL PAGEANT
New York viii Welcome Return
ing American Fleet.
Public viii Have Opportunity to See
Warships That Aided in De-
featins Germany.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Return to
home waters of the ships of the Amer
lean armada sent to Europe to combat
German sea power will be marked
by great naval pageant in New York
harbor about Dec 23
Secretary Daniels sale be would go
to New York on the Mayfiower to re-
view the fleet which will be led by
Admiral Mayo, commander-in-chief of
the Atlantic fleet, on his flagship, the
Pennsylvania.
In the home coming feet will be
nine dreadnaughts, 20 destroyers and
more than 40 converted yachts, mine
planters, submarine and other craft.
The destroyer force, part OF which Is
on the way to New York includes
many of the vessels sent to the war
zone and some of them carry on their
tunnels the stars awarded for destruc-
ton of German submarines.
Owing to the character of some of
the craft ordered home, no definite
date can be set for their arrival, and
IL is possible that some of the smaller
ships will not get back in time for the
review, which will give the people of
the country an opportunity to see the
fighting ships that helped materially
to defect the German menace.
Efforts will be made. however, to
bring as many as possible Of the re-
turning vessels into port together.
Instructions to Admiral Mayo called
for the return of all naval craft that
can be spared.

Gopher Troops Reach. Rhine.
Coblenz, Dec. 16.-Minnesota troops
(probably the 151st field artillery

river with the Forty-second (Rainbow)
division.
Sentries of the American and Ger
man armies face each other across the
Rhine. From Andernach, below Cob
lenz, northward to the British line.
American forces hold the west bank
of the stream. South of CoblenZ, ad-
vanced elements of the American
army reached the river
1t is expected the movement across
the Rhine will be well under way.
The First and Third divisions have
been designated to occupy the ad-
vanced positions along the 30-mile arc
east of Coblenz, constituting the
bridgehead stipulated in the armistice.
The Thirty-second, Ninetieth, Fourth
and Forty-second will occupy positions

territory that is to be occupied east
of the Rhine.
One Act of Hostility.
A bottle thrown from window by
4 woman at an American soldier has
been the only overt act of hostility
reported since the Americans have
entered Coblenz. The incident was
regarded as being SO trivial that II
was left to the local police to deal
with the woman. There has devel
oped, however, an unmistakable air oi
independence on the part of the peo
Pile, rejecting their conviction that the
Americans are going to deal with them
much more delicately than have the
French or British with the people
north and south CT the city.

Instead of cringing, or even show

In jostling American soldiers on the
street, and in sneers and laughs which
were only vaguely concealed.
