ANTI-T0BACCO MOVE
 STARTS IN CHICAGO

Strict observance of the Sabbath. prohibition of smoking by minors and by adults in public places, and the ere ation of sentiment against allowing women to sell tobacco in any form are urged in literature sent out broadcast by the National Woman's Temperance Union.
 The distribution of the literature paved the way for the opening in Chi cago of Sabbath Observance Week. and the observance of anti-cigarette and anti-tobacco Sunday.
 Not Campaign. National officers of the w. C. T. U. deny that the observance of the week and the day are in the nature of a campaign.
 Their official explanation today by Mrs. Margaret c. Munns, national treasurer, is:
 "The w. c. T. U. has issued call for week of prayer for the better observance of the Sabbath. It is not a campaign. The call has gone out from the Sabbath observance depart ment to every local and State Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union in the United States. It is merely CO., incidence that our annual anti-tobacco and anti-cigarette Sunday come at the close of this week of prayer. We are striving to convince people under 21 years of age of the deleterious ef- fleets of tobacco and cigarettes.
 Other Aims Listed.
 In spite of the denials by officials of the w. c. T. U., that they intended to do anything more than prevent smoking by minors, the literature dis tributed by them discloses other ob- jects. Among aims listed in a pamph- let entitled "plan of work-192l," sent out by Helen c. H. Estelle, superin- tendent of the department of anti-nar- cotics, are the following:
 Create public sentiment against girls and women selling tobacco in ho- tels, railway stations, theatre Hobbies and elsewhere.
 Petition colleges and club to aban- don entertainments known as smok- CTS.
 Smoking in hotels and restaurants is objectionable to many. In a tact ful way protest to the owners against the custom.
 Request your state board of health to forbid smoking in markets and stores where foodstuffs are sold. If

A LITTLE CORNER OF HEAVEN

There's little corner of heaven
 where the human beings go, The people who fell, but who fought too well to end in the down below The common or garden run of souls. who slipped most every day With many slam and many dam,- U'll be there, if have my way.) That little corner of heaven
 is full of the might have beens"; They tried for right but they lost the fight and were sorry for their sins; But not a one in the Corner
 who mocked at another's fall, Who laughed at tears or closed his ears to fellow creatures call. That little Corner of heaven
 is barred to the true elect; There's too much earth and there's too much mirth to be actually correct; The harps are played by machinery and the crowns are loose above Lord grant my prayer and send me there with the rascal souls l love!

impossible to get a state law, work for city ordinance.
 Ask for a local ordinance forbid ding smoking in polling and voting places."
 Evils of Sunday.
 Some of the evils of Sunday are enumerated as:
 One hundred and fifty thousand caddies are on the golf links when they should be at Sunday school.
 Thousands of men are deprived of their day of rest because the public forces them to labor on Sunday.
 Many men and women are riding about in their autos when they should be in church.
 Commercialized amusements are desecrating the Sabbath for filthy gold. Theaters, ball games and so forth, are allowed in many places.
 "We do not aim to bring about a revival of the blue laws" Mrs. Munns declared. "This is only movement, forty-three years old, for an annual week of prayer for better Sunday ob- servance. It is not campaign, but a movement"

IMMENSE WOOL SUPPLIES
 PREVENT MARKET ADVANCE

Trade in wool continues irregular and "spotty," but fair amount of business is passing. Favorable re ports from Washington regarding pos abilities of early legislation on the tariff have had a mildly stimulating effect, but too much wool is available to allow prices to advance. The new clip is being shorn, and coming on the top of another clip, estimated to be 75 to 80 per cent still unsoid, the question of financing is very serious problem. In addition to the over supply of domestic wool on hand, an immense volume of wool and wool tops has been imported since the first of the year. Experienced wool men are predicting that prices will remain stagnant, or nearly so, for many months. London wool sales will re- open next week, and the Australian wool auctions will also be on again. American buying is considered very much of a gamble, and most buyers have drawn out of the market.
 Woolen mills are buying steadily, the American having come in lately for supplies for its woolen mills, and this is the best feature in the present market. This does not serve, how ever, to lift prices even fraction of a cent.-Bradstreet.

A lady advertised for man to work in her garden, and two men ap- piled for the job. While she was in- telviewing them on the lawn she mo- ticed her mother on the piazza was making signs to her to choose the shorter of the two men, which she finally did. When the ladies were alone the daughter said: "Why did you signal me to choose the shorter man, mother? The other had much better face"
 "Face," returned the old lady. When you pick a man to work in your garden you want to go by his overalls. If they are patched on the knees you want him; if they are patched on the seat, you don't"

DAILY SAVINGS MAKES
 A FINE NEST EGG

Miss A. Louise Larson, of this city, recently received letter from Presi- dent Harding, stating that if the rest of the people in the United States would follow Miss Larson's example our "country's economic problems would not long await a satisfactory solution" The president wrote con- graduating Miss Larson on the fact that she has bought Thrift or War Savings Stamp every day since their issue, December 5, 1917. President Harding's letter follows in part:
 1.-THE WHITE HOUSE.
 "My Dear Miss Larson:
 "My attention has just been called to what l am assured is an unique record created by yourself in the mat ter of investing in Thrift Stamps and Savings Stamps. want to congrat- ulate you and to express the wish that very many more people might take the same interest that you have shown. If your example could be fol- lowed by all our people who are able to do it, our couEtry's economic prob lems would not long await satis- factory solution"
 q will treasure this letter with the presidents signature to my dying day." said Miss Larson. "It will be- come an heirloom in our family. Nat urally, think it is the most wonder full letter that ever came through the mails"
 Miss Larson says that she is con- tinuing to buy her Thrift or War Saw ings Stamp day in and day out and that she has rolled up desirable nest egg. She advises everybody else to try it "just for the fun of it."
