LIQUOR

That the next great battle with
the liuqor element in this country
will be a political battle, is the opin-
ion Of DR.. p. \. Baker Of Montgom-
cry. who was in the Atlanta recently
attending a meeting Of leading bust
ness men of the city who are interest
ed in the World Wide Prohibition
Campaign.
1t is the opinion Of Dr.. Baker that
the attack of the liquor forces on the
courst will fail as have all their other
attempts to prove the Prohibition and
Enforcement laws invalid.
The liquor men realize this fact, he
believes, and are coupling political ac-

HOW One WOMAN SOLVED
THE CLOTHING PROBLEM

II went shopping the other day, and
have been most downhearted ever
since. 1t costs a fortune to be well
dressed these days. If we should buy
the winter clothes thought our fam
lily needed when started out to shop
we should have to give up our Christ
mas trip home, the books I wanted to
buy, and every pleasure we usually
plan on for the winter season" Mrs.
Jones was tragic in her manner as she
was telling her woes to her ncighbor,
Mrs. Wallace.
"You are in the same stage | was in
two weeks ago." Mrs. Wallace com
forted her. 81 thought there was alb
solutely no hope, but | have recovered.
The remedy was an ovcrhauling trip
to the attic, and an evenings struggle
with figures. You do not realize how
many things you have slowed away
that are only half worn. The clothes
found can be made over with the
use of little new material, and serve
the purpose Of some Of the new gar
mcnts | had thought absolutely nee
essary. The trouble with you and with
me is that until this big increase in
the cost of clothes came along we did
not take vcly serious thought Of
them. We just took it for granted
that we had to have one or two new
dresses season, Il new coat every
other year, and a suit the other year,
with little thought Of the parts o.
these garments not worn out. found
l had one garment that would repay
making over for myself and several
things that can be made over nicely
for the children.
"Then | sat me down with pencil
and paper to make an inventory Of
what we each had My husband and
after careful figuring decided on the
approximate sum that we could spend
on clothes and tried various schemes
Of making that amount cover the nee
cssities.
81 am glad went shopping AS
did for in that way learned approx
matcly how much would have TO pay
for the various garments to get good
material and good workmanship. After
deciding on the number of things
needed, putting in the rough estimate
of what it would cost to make over the
clothes for the children and getting
my husbands estimate on his I have
finally managed it. Now Pm going to
take time to shop carefully and be
satisfied with results. | shall take
account of what | buy, keeping correct
records SO that next year | can plan
with this years budget in mind."
"Pli go up to the attic this after
noon," Mrs. Jones decided. "Thr high
cost of living is Il hard, hard teacher
but / guess ! might as well learn the
lesson it is teaching me-"
The Office Of Home Economics, u
S. Department Of Agriculture, sug-
gcstS that it would be a good plan for
everybody to join Mrs. Jones in climb
ing the attic stairs and after getting
an estimate of the clothing prices
make a clothing budget which would
cover all the winter clothes for the
family.

MONTHLY COUNCIL MEETING
Regular Monthly Meeting Held Monday
Evening-Fuel Administrator Scores
Members of the Council

The city council held a meeting Mon
day evening, at which time the regular
monthly business was transacted. Fuel
Administrator J. H. Patterson appeared
before the council, and the fuel situa-
ton in DeniSon was discussed at some
length. 1t developed that while Mr..
Patterson had been very active IN Sc
curing fuel to keep the municipal indus
tries running, the members of the city
council, and other officials, had done
practically nothing toward relieving the
situation. The fuel administrator talk
ed very plainly to the council and on1-
Gals, and said that while he did not ex-
pect to lay down on the job, he dld ex.
pect some cooperation on the part OF
the city. He expected the city of1iclals
to get busy and make some sacrifices
individually and collectively, and gather
in some fuel from whatsoever source.
He deplored the fact that the city was
looking to the citizens for relief, when
in reality the citizens ought to look to
the city for relief.
It was learned at the meeting that a
number of citizens were leaving for Cal
ifornia during the week, and these were
communicated with and whatever
amount of coal they were leaving in
their Easements was secured for the
city. An accurate account of the num-
ber of pounds secured in this manner
will be kept and the people will receive
nay for the fuel. The lighting schedule
as adopted two weeks ago will still be
maintained, but 1t is costing the city
much money for fuel. some coal costing
as high as $500 per ton.

"PEANUT" UNIT LOOKED GOOD
But After Receiving Letter From 49,

A city man got very glowing circu-
lar from a Chicago development COM

Florida for the surprisingly small sum
Of $2,5O0-a peanut unit" the circular
called 1t. He could grow. the circular
said, thousand bushels of peanuts on
his ten acres and could sell the pea
nuts-allowing for low prices at 81 q
bushel. The city man was impressed:
but he sent the circular to the depart
ment Of agriculture with query as to
whether or not the investment was
good one.
Following are some sentences from
the letter he got in reply: "The lit
erature is Of the kind designed to de-
ceive city people in the North and
West who do not know anything about
farming" "The average return from
ten acres of peanuts would not exceed
$500 to $780," "You could buy 1OO-
acre farm in almost any Of the coun-
ties Of western Florida, including the
one mentioned in the circular, for the
price these people ask for ten acres"
"The whole unit system. whether
it Is pecans, peaches, figs. cane, pea
nuts, hogs, or what not, is simply

THANKSGIVING
IN DENIS0N
Regular Old Fashioned Thanksgiving
Day Observed-SnOw, Turkey, Foot
ball and Family Reunions
ALL PLACES OF BUSINESS CLOSED
Incoming Trains Brought Many Rela-
tives and Friends to the City
Many Dinners Served

Thanksgiving with all its old time
fascination of snow, football, turkey,
family reunions and vacations from
work was celebrated in Denison, and the
day was a joyous one, Notwithstanding
the conservation Of light and fuel. For
the most part the family reunions were
planned with more Zest because the
young men of the family were at home.
Not since Thanksgiving Of 1916 has the
day been observed with a more thank
full spirit.
All incoming trains brought to the
city relatives or friends from away. and
there were many large dinners served.
The different churches of the city rem
dered programs, and all places of busi'
ness were closed. The snow of the eve
ming before furnished the proper set
ting for the day and opened the holl'
day season in the way in which the
Pilgrim fathers first recognized 1t.
Though prices of foodstuffs are high,
the grocery stores report no slackenlng
in the buying and where turkeys were
to be obtained at all, price cut little fg-
ure, and so cents per pound was paid,
and no questions asked; turkey was
considered necessary part Of the table
decoration.
In the afternoon the football game be-
tween Denison and Omaha drew fair
crowd and in the evening many attend
ed the picture show.

RED TAPE FINALLY Fl UNWoUND
For a Time It Had Serot. Hayes Tied
Up, But He Came Out q
Lieutenant.

Once upon a time there was a man
who "fired" his employees that he might
have tie pleasure Of hiring them over
again. That would seem to be some
what the way with the marine corps
It fires" its men that the government
may do them special honor
Sergt. Edgar Hayes, a red-blooded
patriot Of the marine corps, overheard
an aspersion upon the uniform of his
service. Sergeant Hayes promptly hit
the speaker in the nose. The marine
corps sat upon his case in solemn
court-martial. and after much deliber-
alton dismissed Sergeant Hayes from
the service, thus creating civil disabil.
tiles. The case later was reviewed by
the president, who pardoned Hayes and
restored him to citizenship. Hayes
has now been restored to the service
and created a first lieutenant, an act
of congress having empowered the pres
ident to make the appointment.
It Is a roundabout way of doing q
man honor. And it shows something
wrong with the system. We wonder
what the dignified gentlemen of the
court-martial would have done If 1t had
been proved that Sergeant Hayes, now
Lieutenant Hayes, having overheard
an aspersion upon his honorable serv-
ice, had condoned it by inaction.-Cin'

SHARK TO FURNISH LEATHER
Investigation Has Shown That Skin Of

Although the personal popularity OF
sharks is not likely soon to increase,
their existence will be more cOmpla-
Gently accepted If the work already
done through the agency Of the United
States government continues its prog

substitute for leather. The effort was
begun in 1916, and it has been shown
that the skin Of a shark can be tanned
by newly discovered processes with a
result much like superior grade OF
leather. Commercial tanneries are be-
ginning to turn out the product. Shoes
made Of 1t are being worn; and, like
the pig, of which everything is utilized
but the squeal, the shark has been
found generous in by-products. The

Cleaning Up for Winter.

The ardor for improvement which is
so well manifested in the spring time, is
not always so evident in getting ready
for winter. In spring people are antici-
pating the enjoyment of their flowers
and grounds and take hold of clean UP
work with enthusiasm. Fall cleaning
seems more like a dead horse, and like
paying for past pleasure you have had
from lawn and garden.
However. a place Uttered up with flow
er and vegetables stalks and dead leaves
looks slouchy all winter. and casts dis
credit on itself and on its whole neigh
borhood. A place cleaned up for cold
weather has a trim beauty Of it's own
ity spirit.
If you want Denison to look its best
for the four long months coming on. do
help out by seeing that your place Is
free from all disorder.

PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown In Dollars and Gents by
Figures Compiled by Bureau OF
! Education.

The value of staying at school Is
stated In dollars and cents In figures
recently compiled by the bureau OF
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
chlldren's bureau.
From a study 81 large number
Of actual cases 1t has been found that
at twenty-five years Of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $4,000 more sal
ary than the boy who left school at
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then receiving more than
5000 a year more in pay.
'This is equivalent to an investment
Of $4,000 ut S per cent" the state
ment said. "Can a boy increase his
capital as fast in any other way?
"From this time on the salary oe
the better.educated boy will rise still
more rapidly, while the earnings OF the
boy who left school at fourteen Will
increase but little" 4

PALACE A TOWN IN ITSELF
More Than Fourteen Hundred Rooms
in Vienna Home Of Ex.Emperor
Of Austria.

There are lao rooms in the city
palace formerly occupied by the ex'
emperor of Austria, in Vienna. 1t Is
also equipped with 100 kitchens and
the courtyard covers 25,0Oo meters.
The massive doric columns ut the out
side entrance were constructed BY
Peter Won Hobile in 1924. Through
these one enters the SPalace OF
Heroes" outside the castle ward. A
new wing was added here in 1SS7-94.
The inner walls are of the Renaissance
style, by Olllmann and Baumann, and
were completed in 1917. Further on
toward the eastern side of the ground,
is the Heldenplata, where stand two
exquisite monuments, the largest IN
the capital. The one on the left Is
that of Prince Eugene, while that on
the right is Of the Archduke Charles.
who defeated Napoleontat Aspern.
A Roman ruin Of ancient date Is
seen in the castle grounds. 1t Is
characteristic of the Roman con-
uuerors, but is so dilapidated that
but two or three Of the portals re-
main, the others being nothing but
crumbled stone. A tall arch Is the
best preserved part Of the ruin.
Near the Roman ruin is great
obelisk, resembling a needle more than
most monuments Of the kind. The
top is finished in gilt. The sides bear

Near it is the glorious Neptune foun-

he is a man who has attained to more

all more or less like the proverbial Os-
