Many narrow canyons with high,

At the great Convention at Colum

launched the Campaign for Nationa
Constitutional Prohibition, John G
Woolley made the keynote speech on
the theme, "The Call Of an Epoch, ;

Again at Washington, D. c., on De-
cember 10th Of the same year, when
the committee of 1000 assembled to
petition Congress for the speedy sub

Hobson amendment, he was one OF
the most striking figures and at the
great mass meeting in Continental
Hall, moved the audience to a frenzy
of applause by his flights Of oratory.
At the National Anti-Saloon Lea
que Convention at Atlantic City, in
1915, Woolley again Of all the great
speakers Of National renown, leading
in the Prohibition movement, was
chosen to deliver the keynote address.
It was marvel of oratory. For more

BE STILL

Life to 1ay is mad, wild rush. This
busy, bustling age is so set Oh doing
things that we scarcely have time to
eat or sleep, much less rest or think
Consequently many are old before
their time, grow weary of the strife,
and occasionally put an end to it ALL
And slow suicide accomplishes the
same end as razors, pistols and poi
son. But we have no more right to
destroy life gradually than we have
to destroy it instantly.
And the restless rush OF the day
counts against US spiritually as well
as physically. Of course, He is pres
ent everywhere, but we feel Him
more sensibly in the quiet of the
closet than in the stir Of the street.
Therefore, for bodYs sake, for minds
sake, and for the souls sake, sit down

What you are, and whittier you are

The price OF our farm products is

perhaps the farmers and taxpayers
generally thought the County might

viii surely increase the price of what
they sell and reduce the cost of what
they buy.

that threatens almost every business
and industry of this county that

/ did not sound the alarm. Nothing
is stabilized. Every thing is irregu-

products and commodities is vastly
out of proportion and the relation
