Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like nativo trees that grow so we'll no' where else. The little writers--hac cks, who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains CD an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ. ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized
 1uthors-the very good and the prob ably endurlng--are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to conte1n- porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanity Fair" Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But baclz-to-nature books-bcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of the
 private emotions of ground-hogs and turtles that call themselves nature bocks-are the most traditional of all.
 For they plunge directly into what
 might be called the adventures of the American Inconsistencies

A Giant in the Mountains.

Among mattress curious ini.attona perhaps the most remarkable is the SO. called Hooded Knight, beheld witk awe by many tourist ta the Gila na- tional forest, New Mexico. Weath- cred out frors volcanic peak, it pre-. sents profile grim and impressive. For untold ages it has looked sterniy down into the depths of a canyon and very likely it will still be doing so when the last human being has vaD- tshad from the nth.

Advice to Girls.

Little girl, the best thing for you to do is to get the idea out of your head that you can marry that wild Joy and reform him. That boys mother is oid- CT than you and she has had more ex- perience, and if her older years of teaching, pleading and prayer have not brought results, you have no job that an amateur can do cut out for you. Forget all about him, and you will be happier in the long run. It often takes dynamite, a stump puller and dry cleaning on top of that to weed out wild oats.-Emporia Gazette.

PROPOSED "DRY" JAW DIVIDES
 US. LEADERS
Daniels Favors 1t But Hur- ley, Burleson and Com
 pers Object.

Washington, June 25.-Declaring the nation canno, afford to conduct experiments at this time, Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, today opposed absolute prohibition before the senate agricultural committee.
 We've got to put all the smash and drive we've got into this war, '' declared MT. Hurley. "We've got to fight, fight and still fight with every muscle straining and put aside non essential experimenting if we are to wiring victory from the Huns"
 He said that in his opinion there would be more risk connected with prohibition at this time than in the conscription of labor as taking beer away from workmen would be prac- tical interference with labor. He, add ed, "1 don't want to take any chances" ;"
 Mr. Hurley answering many ques- tions by prohibition advocates on the committee, said the chief labor diff culties in ship building had occurred in "dry territory" It was brought out that 125,265 men are employed at ship pards in prohibition states and 29O,- 157 in "wet" territory.
 Favors Dry Nation.
 Secretary Daniels appeared to ad- vocate prohibition. He said his dry order in the navy had resulted in in- creased efficiency and proved it's value. "If you say we must have saloons outside the doors of our navy yards to increase the efficiency of the workmen," he added, "you can say also it is necessary for the men in uniform to have liquor"
 Labor Opposes Prohibition.
 Organized labor is overwhelmingly opposed to absolute prohibition and to bring up the question now is to ''throw the apple of discord among the people of this country" said Sam uel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor.
 Postmaster General Burleson in testifying, said he was expressing his personal views and not speaking for the administration.
 "I don't believe in class legislation,' he continued. Brandy and wine are regarded as beverages of the rich and beer of the poor. If prohibition is necessary to win the war I'd vote for it but if had any doubts I'd hesitate a long time. This is no time to have patience with fanatics or to listen to extremists. If we listen to extremists and do foolish things it might delay the end of the war many months"

Has Two "MermStds."

;. P. Smith. Spaniard, residing in Hamilton, Ont, possesses two crea- lures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids. Though these are described as "fab' led" or Fictitious" creatures in tho dictionaries, those of Eir. Smith have heads shaped like those of human be. lngs and bodies that are distinctly fish-like. One Is much larger than the other, anG IS considered to be the mother, and reckoned to be 800 yeara old. Both have fine hair like human being, and a small mustache and beard. The head is attached to a hu iEan-iike Eeck which merges into the fish-lfke body, and the arMs are like those of a monkey, only that the fingers are webbed. It is said that the "mernaids" were found in the wreck of ship in the Arabian ses.

Had Bright's Disease-Took Hobo" Got His Engine Back Again. Railroads companies are strict about the physical condition of their loco motive engineers. An engineer has hundreds of lives in his custody every time he takes out train load of pas sengers. So when Engineer E. S. Hardy, of Marshall, Tex, got sick and was examined by the chief surgeon of
 the Texas Pacific hospital, he was made to quit work when the doctor found he had a very bad case of Bright's Disease. Hardy then went to Denver, Col.-to specialist-who found the blood pressure 225 and urine full of albumin. Doctor told him he would never be able to work any more. Hardy then returned home and some friend suggested that he take the cele-
 brated Hobo Kidney and Bladder Rem edy. He took thirteen bottles, was again examined by chief surgeon, who said his blood pressure was normal and no albumin. Got his engine back and heartily recommends "Hobo" to all
 afflicted with kidney trouble. Try "Hobo." Your druggist can supply you-$1 per bottle. Or write to Hobo

Supreme Court Hands Down I'm.
pOrtant Ruling in Moneys
and Credits Case

North Dakota's new moneys and
credits act does not apply to concerns
and individuals which have no Offices
in North Dakota and who are located
outside the state, even though they
may hold North Dakota mortgages and
other securities, rules the supreme
court in a somewhat complicated de-
cision handed down Friday. The
moneys and credits test case originat-
ed in the form of a mandamus pro-
ceeding brought from Fargo, making
the tax commission the defendant.
The case was argued several months
ago. The court upholds the act in its
general features, but holds that the
state of North Dakota cannot tax
moneys and credits unless the cor
poratiOn or individual owning them
has an office or place of business
somewhere within the state.

The first three counts in the indict

Liberty bonds. He stated he was in,
clined to believe it did not, and that
it was for this reason that congress
has specifically covered this offense in
the new espionage act. The court
stated he did not believe the govern

jury on the first three counts, in view
of what Wishek actually did in the
matter of investing in Liberty bonds.
There was no doubt at all, said the
court, that Wishek actually did sup

there is question as to whether he
did not support the first loan as well
as the community in general, said the
court Judge Amidon commented at
length upon the general failure of the
first loan, which McAdoo had objected
to handling through the banks, owing
to unfortunate memories of AN Incl

Because the loan was small and be-
cause the machinery had not been
properly prepared, the first loan was
general failure, said the court, who

The national army there is much
speculation throughout the country
as to how soon Glass II men will be
called for service.
There need be> no immediate anx-

relatives. No call affecting Glass II
men will be made this year. No cali
for fighting men will be made upon
Glass II men in 1919, in all probabti-

In fact, it is the hope Of Provost
Marshal General Crowder that he
will NEVER have to go outside Class
for combatant units, and there is
no present indication that he will
have to do so. ;-.
Draft officials believe we will be
able to raise and maintain an army
of 100000 men without going into
the deferred classes for fighting
troops. The figure 100000 they be-
lieve is conservative. Here is how
they figure it:
The registration under the original

approximately 100000 men. OF
these. 1,595,7OS had been ordered to
