Vertable Inferno When Oil Fields

had not thought that we could pos
sibly enter into new phase Of horror,
but 1t was born on Boxing day, when
the first whispers reached us Of the
destruction of the oil fields. Frankly,
we had, each and every one of us, COM
pletely forgotten the oil A man, n
friend OF ours, drove up in n motor,
streaked with CRIME, weary and dead
to the world. After lunch he started
to tell his story, fortified by a big
cigar.
He had been one of n party who
went out alone to the petrol city to
destroy. No one would give them
help, and he told us wonderful ac-
counts OF the scenes which he had wit
messed. The first step had been to
capture every single man and boy who
knew anything about the petrol plans
and deport them bodily TO Moldavla,
so that the Germans should find no
skilled workmen to utilize to their
own profit And then few pairs of
hands sufllced to crumble and lay in
ashes what many hundreds Of brains
had worked to build. First they broke
up all the machlnery-the how Of the
happening Is immaterlal; the most
primitive and brutal weapons served
them best. Then they poured benzine
from the roofs of factories down their
walls and set them alight, they dug
| trenches round the vats and started
blazing channels of flame toward the
reservoirs. These blew up each In turn,
and SCOT and flames made of what had
been sunlight an eternal night where
the fire king went mad. Town by town
saw the destroyers come to let hell
loose and factory after factory writh'
ed In n death agony Of twisted iron to
send Jets Of poison fumes after the
four small flying motor cars. The de-
vastatiOn left by retreating army lay
before them, turmoil of an enemy
drunk with success stirred In the wind
gusts that fed the flames from the
south. One can hardly credit the fact
that those few little men have so eff
fectually accomplished what they set
out to do that 1t will be six months be-
fore the Germans can squeeze drop
of petrol from the saturated earth.
In our English hospital there Is
man who has had his foot amputated.
He lay pinned under n burning car. A
hatchet was brought by doctor to
French officer standing near, and the
doctor said: "Do II If you can; have
no instruments and feel paralyzed."
The Frenchman did the thing in the
whole horror Of the sunlight, whilst
the Russian privates who were his
charges took advantage of the oppor-
tunity and plllaged private passenger

HOW TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

"They tell me that the prohibltory
law is not enforced" says William Jen-
nings Bryan. my answer Is, elect men
who will enforce II! Don't you know
that the first thing that the liquor in
terests do Is to name men who will not
enforce the law? The man who accepts
the nomination from the men interest
ed In liquor must take an oath In ad-
vance that he will violate the oath that
the Constitution requires him to take.
That is the condition upon which they
give their support
But / have another answer. II you
tell me that we will have blind tigers
If we don't have saloons, | answer
that If tiger were after my boy, the
binder the tiger, the safer my boy
would be If the tiger is blind, my boy
must hunt him up; If the tiger can see,
he can hunt my boy up. If we close
the saloons and they still sell liquor,
they do it in the byways and in the al
leys, and those who sell are criminals /;
and those who deal with them do II
with shame upon the face.
"If we close the saloons and then
elect men who will enforce the law we
are not to blame If, in spite of all we
can do there may be some selling with
out license. We are no more respon'
sible after we have done all we can
than we are for the work Of burglar
who enters house in spite of the fact
that we have law against burglary"

Mason and Dixon's Line,

James Y. Cabiness, a travelling man
of Evansville, told the following story
|the other day:
Coming home recently from OKLA
homa | heard a bit of .darkey humor.

'Jlm Crow law similar to the one in
Kentucky. However, there had been
fuch demand for troop coaches that
cur train had only the old-fashioned
cars without any compartments. One
of group of negroes who had segre-
gated themselves in one end Of the
coach gravely took a piece of twine

HOW THE SALOON PAYS ITS IL.
CENSE MONEY.

Some one may claim that the sa-
loon helps to pay his taxes. This Is
n great error. Can you squeeze water
out of n sponge? If you think you can,
go down to the drug store and buy
one. | will squeeze it, How much
water do / get?
The only way you can get water out
Of a sponge is to bring the water In n
basin, drop in the sponge and let 1t
absorb it. Then you can squeeze some
of the water back.
If you want to get money out Of a
saloon, the only way Is to put the
saloon down in the community and for
every $2S,000 it takes from the pock-
cts of the people you can squeeze one
thousand OF it Lack in the form Of city
license. The saloon must pick the
pockets of the poor-to pour thin
golden stream of revenue.-Exchange

Trauedy Of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, II
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction of war.
But there remained one-the tragedy
Of the trees. You can rebuild houses,
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards of fruit trees and avenues Of
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled lunches Of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards,
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that, when the
warm spring came, some of those Or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died-bloomed
once again for France.-Inez Haynes

Making Shrapnel.

New inventions have been made by
Americans, and American machine
tools for shell making have been sent
to Europe and are used In the factories
there. The number of shells Of shrap-
mel made In this country is almost be-
yond computation. Long before we en-
tered the war our different factories
were turning out hundreds Of thou
sands of shrapnel week, and II was
due to this demand for munitions that
enabled us to turn out the big product
we are now making. This is so not
only of shrapnel, but of powder and
explosives Of all kinds. Before the war
one company was making about 400,-
600 pounds Of military powders per
annum, another was turning out 800
Pinch shells per day, and n third
making 100000 loaded time fuses n
month. The orders OF the allies ran
into many hundreds of millions Of dol
lars and 1t is said that almost $1,000
100000 worth of war supplies were
contracted for by ]. 7. Morgan & Co.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment Of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Amer.

This wonderful new idea-simple

Meter for Telephone Calls.

A recently invented telephone meter
is designed to prevent errors In charg-
ing calls and to make the service more
satisfactory to the subscriber in other
respects. Being of comparatively sim
pie construction, 1t can be installed In
the signal case of a coin-operated tele-
phone with slight alterations. The de-
vice comprises two counters which are
actuated electrically and are located
just back of apertures in the front Of
the case so that they are visible to the
subscriber. When the device is used
with coin-operated telephone 1t
shows the subscriber at all times how
many calls have been made.-Popular

THE BEGINNING OF 1918.

A survey of the wet and dry sltua-
tion throughout the country, taken by
the board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
church, shows that on January / there
were 2,374 dry counties and 6l5 wet
counties. This is dry gain for the
year 1917 Of SO counties.
The year 1917 gave the drys state
wide victory in New Hampshire, Utah
and Indiana by legislative action and
In New Mexico by vote of the people.
Iowa failed by very small majority
to make its prohibition constitutional.
Ohio reduced its wet majority almost
to the vanishing point. New Jersey
elected local option legislature and
Kentucky elected one pledged to sub
mission Of state prohibition and ratfl-
cation of the national amendment.
New York added 10j towns to its dry
list and Illinois closed saloons in the
state capital.
The United States Supreme court
upheld the Webb-KenyOn antl-shlpping
law and sustained the rigid Idaho bone
dry law.
Congress voted the District of Col

FOLLOWS THE USE OF BEER.

During the Spanish-American war
q group of physicians of this country
signed this statement:
at is not only in the state of drunk
enness that men step into danger of in
curing venereal diseases, but in the
state of exhilaration and weakened
self.control which follows the use of a
comparatively small amount of alco-
holic liquors. This impairment of self
control not only follows the use Of
the stronger liquors, but may also fol-
low the use of beer"

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION LOCI.

War efficiency and the liquor traffic
have been treated in all belligerent
countries as irreconcilable enemies.
Every military administrator recog-
nlzes this. Congress recognized it
when 1t inserted in the selective con-
scrlption law provision forbidding the
sale of alcoholic liquors to soldiers
and sailors. And when congress went
that far it admitted the logic of at
tempting to check or abolish the use
of Intoxicating liquors in every other
field of war effort-in the industrial
sphere as well as in the, fighting zones
and the training camps.-New York
