THEIR ONE ADVANTAGE.

Had / wanted to vote for liquor"
said one of the members of the Mary
land Legislature after that body had
voted for ratification of the federal
amendment, ~ could have got enough
for my vote to have made me rich
man; many times rich man." The
only advantage the liquor interests
have over the advocates of prohibition
in the ratification campaign Is that
they are not hampered by scruples in
their choice of tactics pursued, COM
ments the Union Signal. 1t is with
them life and death struggle, and APP
parently they will not hesitate to re-
sort to any measures known to cor
rupt politics to gain their ends. The
members of the state law-making
bodies will be submitted to severe tests
when 1t comes to a vote on ratifica-
ton, and no candidate for the posi-
ton of legislator should be considered
at the primaries by the friends of pro-
hibition who has not demonstrated
that he is absolutely incoTuptible
who cannot show that he Is rooted and
grounded in the principle of rrohibi-
ton and who in his ante-election pledge
will not make public promise regard
ing his attitude on the wet or dry
question.

WHERE CENSOR IS NEEDED
Successful Outcome Of Allotment De.
velopment Depends Largely on In
teIlIgent Forethouaht.

The successful outcome Of an al
lotment development as an asset to
city depends largely upon the type Of
neighborhood established by the real
tor In selling his property.
1t is true, however, that some prop
critics are assured of ultimate indi-
viduallty before development on ac-
count Of their natural location.
The average allotment. however, Is
dependent on the method of sale Of
separate lots and the restrictions i'm
posed upon them, which have an Inn
portant bearing on the ultimate up
building.
But the character of neighbor-
hood is far from assured because OF
imposed restrictions as to price Of
house to be erected, as is shown in
numerous cases about Cleveland.
Perhaps the most apparent reason
for development not proving what
was originally intended are, first, that
the building operations Ito set the
pace, so to speak) were not carried on
by the developer to show what was
expected, and, second, the censoring
Of building plans.--Cleveland Leader.

In an angry tone, he commanded,

I answered, "Oh, no, I'm notr-But

We lined up outside with rifles and
bayonets, 120 rounds Of ammunition,
wearing our tin hats, and the march
to church began. After marching about
five kilos, we turned Off the road into
an open field. At one end Of this field
the chaplain was standing In timber.
We formed semicircle around him.
Overhead there was black speck cir
cling round and round in the sky. This
was German Fokker. The chaplain
had book in his left hand-left eye
on the book-right eye on the airplane.
We Tommies were lucky, we had no

After church parade we were
marched back to our billets, and played

AGAIN POOR OLD KANSAS.

"Army officers, who are slow usually
about handing out compliments, all re-
mark on the physical, mental and NOR
al makeup of the Kansas troops" says
Governor Capper. "They say no state
ever sent better type of young men
into the service. 1t Is noteworthy that
not single Kansas boy was rejected
on account of alcoholism and that the
percentage Of reflections for physical
disabilities was smaller among Kansas
troops than those Of any other state.
"Many Kansas towns did not have
to send single man to the first draft
army. Their quotas had been more
than filed by volunteers.
General Leonard Wood, commander
Of Camp Funston, frequently has TAX
en- occasion to say in public addresses,
that the standards Of living in Kansas
have not only increased the efficiency
of Kansas soldiers % per cent, but
that the prohibitory and other welfare
laws of the state have made 1t COM
paratively easy to conduct a model
army camp at Funston"

Kind Of House In Demand.

The last matter influencing cost Is
"marketability." To be saleable
house must measure up to and down to
standard. Mahogany and Quartered
oak wainscoting, plate glass windows
and other similar embellishments do
not increase the selling value to any
great extent. BY the time you are
ready to sell the style in these things
will have changed, and they are then
more likely to decrease than increase
the value. Be measurably conven-
tional, and comfortably normal in your
ideas. The best houses are not the
most expensive or the most peculiar.
They are almost always the expression
Of type" and follow the main fea-
lures Of their type, departing from the
normal only in minor ways. This Is
the kind of house that is always In
demand.

GOOD IDEA THAT is SPREADING
Few Places Now In the Country That
Do Not Recognize Need Of
Beautlfcation.

Time was not so very long ago when
the thought OF civic beauty and the
recognition OF the Importance Of city
Identification belonged to a few peo-
pie only.
When the FIRST Of the larger cities
Of Texas set about the process Of
making beauty where only ugliness
had been before, many taxpayers OBJ
1ected on the ground that 1t was not
wise to expend public money for such
purposes.
But that larger city persisted. A
landscape architect was employed. A
comprehensive plan for future devel-
opment was drawn up. Appropria-
lions looking far into the future were
planned. An educational campaign to
teach the people the need for beauty
was gotten under way. Today that
city Is far to the front as an example
of what may be accomplished in few
years of labor intelligently applied.
Other cities followed. One by one
the centers of population fell into line.
Directly the smaller cities began to
lay plans for that day when they, too,
shall be large cities. Only recently
the city of Denison, urged on by pub
lic-spirited citizens, employed we'll
paid expert to make survey and lay
down a comprehensive plan of artistic
development. And within the next
few months practically every Texas
city will have proved that even in the
stress Of war Texas people recognize
the value of beauty and the impor-
lance Of the artistic in the everyday
life of the people.-Houston Post.

CHAPTER iI.-continued.

The greatest shock a recruit gets
when he arrives at his battalion In
France is to see the men engaging In a
"cootfe" hunt. With an air of con-
tempt and disgust he avoids the COM
pany of the older men, until a couple
Of days later, In a torment of itching,
he also has to resort to a shirt hunt,
or spend many a sleepless night Of
misery. During these hunts there are
lots Of pertinent remarks banded back
and forth among the explorers. such
as. "Say. Bill, TIL swap you two little
ones for big one" or, ave got a
black one here that looks like Kaiser
Bill"
One sunny day in the front-line
trench, I saw three officers sitting out
side of their dugout ("cooties" are no
respecters of rank; I have even noticed
a suspicious uneasiness about certain
well-known genera), one Of them was
a major, two of them were exploring
their shirts, paying no attention to the
occasional shells which passed over
head. The major was writing letter;
every now and then he would lay aside
his writing-pad, search his shirt for
few minutes, get an inspiration, and
then resume writing. At last he fin
ished his letter and gave 1t to his "run-
ner." 1 was curious to see whether he
was writing to an insect firm, so when
the runner passed me I engaged him
In conversation and got glimpse at
the address on the envelope. It was
addressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in
London. The runner informed me
that Miss Somebody was the majors
sweetheart and that he wrote to her
every day. Just imagine 1t. writing a
love letter during "cootie" hunt; but
such is the creed of the trenches.

Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

In no better way can this great and
significant petition be described than
By quoting from the speech of Senator
Jones of Seattle In presenting a COPY
OF that notable document to the Unit
ed States senate. "A few days ago."
he said, zone Of the most remarkable
petitions ever prepared was presented
to the president Of the United Staets,
asking In very respectful terms that
he exercise the power that congress
has given him and, as a war measure,
prohibit the further use OF grain and
other food products In the manufac-
ture Of malt and vinous liquors. That
petition was signed by many promi-
nent women Of this country of every
class and occupation. 1t was signed
by the representatives of all the big
woman's organizations In the country.
1t represented 100000 of the patriot
ic women of this country, of the most
representative character, not only in
their own persons but for those whom
they represented as the officials of
organizations of various kinds. This
Is distinctly a win the war appeal
by the patriotic women of this coun-
try, who are doing everything in their
power to bring this war to a success
full termination. The women of
America are doing their part now, as
they have always done 1t in the his
tory of the nation, and they present
ed the petition to the president as
war proposition. They believe the
course suggested by them would have
much to do with the winning of the
war, and as patriots, and not as parti-
sans of any particular idea, they pre-
sented it to him.
II think this is the first time in the
history of the temperance movement
that all of the leading organizations of
women have united in behalf of a par
ticular proposition. They have all
united in behalf of this one prop
osition and they are all represented in
the petition that was presented to the
president.
"This petition was prompted by that
great organization, the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, and, In my
judgment, will take rank among the
historic petitions Of the world"
Miss Gordons statement to the
president, the text of the petition, and
every signature affixed thereto, was, at
Senator Jones request, printed in the
Congressional Record, occupying more
than eight pages Of that periodical.

"into the TRENCH


The next morning the draft was in
spected by our general, and we were
assigned to different companies. The
boys in the brigade had nicknamed
this general Old Pepper, and he GER
tainly earned the sobriquet. was as
signed to B company with another
American named Stewart.
For the next ten days we rested"
repairing roads for the Trenches, drill
Ing, and digging bombing trenches.
One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line. and our
march began.
1t took us three days to reach re-
serve billets-each days march bring
Ing the sound Of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way of in the dis
lance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with a red glare.
Against the horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or "sau-
sages" as they are called.
On the afternoon Of the third days
march witnessed my first airplane
being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and gazed In awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
little puffs of white smoke were burst
ing all around 1t. These puts appeared
like tiny balls Of cotton while after
each burst could be heard a dull
''pIop." The sergeant Of my platoon
informed us that 1t was a German air
plane and ] wondered how he could tell
from such a distance because the plane
seemed like a little black speck in the
sky. expressed my doubt as to
whether 1t was English, French or Ger
man. With look of contempt he fur
Their informed us that the allied anti
aircraft shells when exploding emitted
white smoke while the German shells
gave forth black smoke, and, as he ex-
pressed 1t, sit must be an Allemand be-
cause our pom-poms are Smelling, and
I know our batteries are not Off their
bally nappers and are certainly not
strafeing our own planes, and another
piece of advice-don't chuck your
weight about until you've been up the
line and learnt something"
Immediately quit "chucking my
weight about" from that time on.

they wore around the left wrist by

Your War Garden.

Don't rob yourself of flowers even
In war times. There is no better anti
dote for the war horror, and there is
no reason why the vegetable garden
should not be bordered with such
plants as gladioli, dahlias, sunfiowers
and various other ANNALS. Indeed,
some of the vegetables themselves have
beautiful blossoms. The scarlet run
ner bean and the sugar pea, for ex-
ample, have beautiful flowers and
both are excellent vegetables. Old
time gardens are often bordered with
parsley, and most Of the herbs when
grown in little beds are delightful to
look upon.
