THE MAN WHO CAME BACK.

Every newspaper reader knows Walt
Mason whose rippling rhymes are sent
all over the country by press syndi-
cate. In a recent magazine article
Walt has story of a "Has-Been Who
Came Back" 1t is his own story. He
began his journalistic career at twen-
ty-two, soon became victim of drink,
and was down-and-outer at forty-five.
Then he went to dry Kansas, began
again at the bottom of the ladder and
climbed to the top. This is what Will
liam Allen White, editor of the EN-
pOria Gazette and well-known author
says of him:
"When he (Walt Mason) wrote fo;
job on the Gazette he said that lie
had all the degrees that could be &C n
.ferred upon him By a certain insu u
,tion which claimed TO cure booze-fisht-
ers, and that he had tried high re-
solves many times, only to wake up
and find the brewers daughter feed
ing his weeks salary to her favorite
cat. He said he wanted before he quit
co. try a. dry town. Now Emporia is
dry town. 1t started dry. In 1857
| tlsiI 1911 v " EliSpIluI LUZ II was siAtJ
two years ago, in an age when a
preacher could stew his soul in toddy
without losing caste-Emporia in the
charter of the town company started
with a prohibition clause. 1t did not
always hold the Rum Fiend away. But
1t always bothered him to get in. So
he never waxed fat in Emporia. And
for a generation Emporia, while Eot
bone-dry, has not been moist.
s"When' Walt Mason came here the
town was fairly dry. Alcohol formed
no part Of the towns conscious
thought. No one invited him to drink.
He heard no talk of drink; he saw no
one drinking. and to get liquor he
would have had to associate with loaf
ers and plug-uglies. So Walt Mason in
dry town, having plenty Of work to
do, did it WELL sAnd the town stood by
him and cheered him. Ten, thousand
people became his friends. They are
his friends today . 'a.ls' -;-sss' s.--t-'
"It Is ten years." says Mr.. Mason,
"since I came to Emporia with my
qne extra shirt and my $1.35 Since
prosperity. overlook me I have received
f1attering offers from Chicago, New
York, and even from London. But
little old Emporia Is good enough for
me." - p1iip

GLAD 70 BE FORCED OUT.

!. A MISSOURI salOonkeepeEs perhaps
Expressed the sentiments OF his fel-
lows fairly well when on being called
to account for his violation of the law
regarding the sale of liquor. he locked
tfe door of his booze emporium and
remarked: "Tve quit business for
good. The booze business is dead
anyway, and I'm glad to be out of it"
We believe this voices the feeling of
the majority of the vets. The war
which has forced them out of busi-
ness is at the same time offering them
tie chance of the ages to enter and
get a start in legitimate industries.
One Of the avowed reasons for the
Presidents brewery closing edict was
the need of men for the really essen
tial, win-the-war enterprises, and any
liquor dealer possessed Of scintilla
of self-respect and desire to stand well
with his fellow men will welcome this
opportunity to- begin anew.-Union

AGE Of Flsl,sa

The most striking characteristic BIZ
which fishes Of different ages can b
distinguished is their size. But tho
size affords us only the means to esd
mate the age Of younger fishes; AZ to
the older. it cannot serve us as an in
dication Of their age. since their
growth may vary according to the dif-
ferent conditions Of nutrition, 80 that
often the younger fish will excel in
size the much older fish. There IL.
however, at least as regards the fishes
Of the Northern seas, a sure indica.
ton that betrays their age. It is the
otolites, or ear stones. These ear
stones grow as long as the fish itself
continues to grow. and form annual
rings in the manner Of trees. The
more annual rings shown by fish's
ear stones the greater its age. IN
this way the age Of Q nsh eaa bs s1
