CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION ON
FIRE PREVENTION.

The enormous loss OF life and pro-
perty through fire has become perhaps
the most serious form of inefficiency
In this country. So serious has this
loss become that nation wide cam
means of educating the people upon
the necessity of exercising care In the
handling of fire and inflammabIe ma
terial, and OF safeguarding life and
property by the removal OF all fire

(Rudyard Kipling)

If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master,
III you can think--and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and
disaster
And treat those two impostors just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted 10y knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken.
And stoop and build 'em up with
WORKOUT tools.
II you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk 1t on one turn of pitch
and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe word about
your loss;
II You can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to them:
Hold on!"
II you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
II you can fill the unforgiving min
ute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
lance run,
Yours is the earth and everything
that's in it,
And-which is more-youll be
man, my son!

President. which this league does be

there can be no dispute-it may mo-

Mr.. President, there are some
things about which there can be no
compromise and concerning which
there can be no respectable halfway
ground. One Of those things is the
integrity Of your country's independ-
ence. Who would debate the ques-
ton of personal honor? Who would
formulate reservations concerning the
sacred unity Of the family? And who
will urge that our country shall be.
satisfied with anything less than un-
trammeled and absolute independ-
ence? Who will contend that any
part, however small. of the power of
the people Of this country to choose
our policy and shape our course shall
be shared with foreigners?
There are spheres Of action in
which compromise may be a wise
rule. In the ordinary concerns of life
in our national domestic affairs con-
cessions and expediency may have
their proper place, but in the great
and sacred things of individual and
life those things which stand

FARM WORK OPEN
TO MEN DISABLED
IN SERVING IT. S.

Washington.-Tec agricul-
ture offers thousands of positions
as associates, assistants. helpers,
extension workers and county
agents and this work is particular
ly suitable for retrained. disabled
men, according to a statement is
sued by the federal board for yoca-
tional education today.
These positions serve as stepping
stones to higher promotions and
better compensation in the near flu
ture, not only in the agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, agri-
cultural extension service and in
state efforts at agriculture. These
Institutions and employments lost
thousands of men from their stu
dent bodies, their faculty and their
Ftaffs. Hundreds of men formerly
agricultural extension workers and
agricultural county agents will new
er return to those occupations.
These places were temporarily fill
ed by unprepared substitutes who
will be replaced by trained men as
rapidly as they are Qrocurable.
The experience abroad wherein

equip themselves in other lines, and
preferably for out-of-door OccUpa-

River craft used for transporta-
ton purposes will not be affected
by the order, but only boats used
for dwellings. Major General Burr
requested enforcement of the rule
when more strict policing Of the
island became necessary during
the war.
Policing of the island is to con-
tinue under the present plans OF
Colonel Jordan and his request
that houseboat owners be told to
move on is probably a step to-
wards making the guard work that
much easier Access to the island
probably would be a simple mat
ter via the river and this is to be
prevented under the ruling.
Mayor McConochie stated today
that the ruling would be enforced
as long as he remains in office.

st. John jumped the Prohibition vote

What is more, he polled enough votes
in New York to defeat the "Plumed

the surprisingly large vote of 15O.626.
That the Republicans credited them
with giving victory to the Democrats
was proved by the fact that in more
than q hundred cities st. John was
burned In effigy.

Women Prominent in the Fight.
For many years the women have
been prominent in the prohibition
movement, for the evils of intemper'
ance bore heavily on their sex. To
them must be given a very large share
In the credit for the success Of the
fight. They started it publicly on
large scale In 1873 in Ohio with cru
SADIE to pray the saloons out of exist
ence.
This movement, inaugurated by q lit
tie band of women who held prayer
meetings in saloons when permitted
and on the payementS outside when
not allowed to enter, spread like Wild
fire throughout the nation and was
denominated by the press "whirlwind
from the Lord" Many saloons were
swept out of existence, but it soon be-
came evident that prayer must be ac-
companied by action if they would pre-
vent the return or the re-opening of
the saloons once closed.
The call for organization was issued
from Chautauqua, N. Y, in August,
1874. The convention was held in
Cleveland, O., November 1920, 1874,
and at that meeting there was organ
lied the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. Delegates were
present from II states.
The plan Of work was presented by
Frances E. Willard and most of the
thoughts embodied in the plan were
later worked out in the w. c. T. q.
At this convention Miss Willard Of
fered also the famous resolution: IRE
solved. That recognizing the fact that
our cause is, and will be, combated by
mighty, determined and relentless
forces, we will, trusting in him who
is the Prince of Peace, meet argument
with argument, misjudgment with pa
thence, denunciation with kindness, and
all our difficulties and dangers with
prayer"
Pursued Many Roads to It's Goal.
From It's very earliest years the w.
C. 7. q. sought out variety Of ave
nues through which the children Of the
nation might be educated in the prin-
ciples of total abstinence and the adult
won for the absolute prohibition Of
the liquor traffic. Out of the juvenile
work grew the Loyal Temperance Le-
gion for the children, and the Young
Peoples branch for the young men and
women. Later the children were en-
rolled as young Campaigners for
Prohibition"
Over forty departments were organ
ICED, and carried on to some degree in
every state and territory, and in from
ten to twenty thousand local unions.
Among these were: Temperance work
in Sunday schools, which. with scien-
tiflc temperance instruction in public
schools. brought practically all the
children in the nation in touch with
temperance truth; medical temper
ance; mothers meetings; flower mis-
sion and relief; equal suffrage; moral
education and race betterment; oratori-
cal and declamatory medical contests;
Christian citizenship, and child well
fare.
