The loss of the dry amendment by
perhaps only about 500 votes, is great
disappointment to friends of prohibi-
ton all over the state. Among the
causes for it's defeat was undoubtedly
the "Flp" which prevented temperance
rallies being held turnout the state as
was intended. Another cause was the
forest fires. Of northeastern Minnesota
which caused, the death or removal Of
many Of the Inhabitants Ri thus reducing
the, temperance, vote, The wording Of
the amendment on the ballot was also
ambiguous, many mistakes in marking
being doubtless made on that score.
The word '':no'' in the minds Of many
voters is syiionomous Z with Z being
against the liquor traffic, and they vot-
ed accordingly. But the biggest reason
for the defeat of the amendment is the
neglect Of ,442 voters to mark their
ballots and these were all counted
against.
But there is little doubt that the ma
tional prohibition amendment will be
ratified by the required number of the
states, SO, during the coming winter and
that will make. Minnesota and alEother
states dry one year after ratification
of the Both state.
There is also a possibility that the
coming legislature will pass statutory
prohibition law.

The Studious Habit

Most people when they quit school,
quit study for the rest of their lives.
Never again do they make a serious at
tempt to acquire any form Of education
except what they can pick up in their
daily work. They learn what they are
told by their foreman, managers of the
business, and their fellow workmen.
But they do not make consistent at
tempt to fit themselves for bigger jobs.
We read that the German prisoners in
England spend their spare time study
ing English, while the English prison
ers in Germany kick around footballs.
The later diversion has it's value, in
making them forget their troubles and
keeping up their health. But it is going
to be hard for us in future to compete
with people who show such untiring
determination to improve their abili-
ties, and learn everything that is poss-
ible --s. 49, !.
Every person ought to be fitting him
self for bigger job, or at least for bet
ter command Of his own job. This may
or may not call for the study of books.
In most lines there are works of scien-
tific and technical information that give
the result of a great deal of past ex-
perience. Many Of these are known
in every shop, but no manager or fore
man knows more than a fraction Of
them. The man who wants to rise will
be seeking Information from all sources
available. /,
If every mechanic would only give
one evening week to the study Of
works Of technical information about
his trade, the product of our mechanical
plants could be greatly increased.
If every Office worker would give that
amount Of time to study of general
business literature and practice, Office
forces would be more efficient. The far
mer that wins out to-day is the man
who follows the results of the expert
ment stations and reads bulletins. So
it is in all walks of life. ri, 81

""Laste8ear we appropriated $21 ,0OO,-
