DRINKING ON THE WANE

Not long ago the country startled by the statement
that 10000 of rasns used by the people of the
United States last year in making home BREW" sort
of substitute for whisky or wine.
That seems like a lot of rasins but it is nothing to
compare with the sixty per cent of CROP which
up until few years ago issued annually is making
whisky.
The fact is that drinking the wane II is steadily
dying out. You fewer drunken men now than you
year ago, and you will fewer year from now
than you see today
Drinking is the wane. Two or three generations
from now few persons in this country will know what

DETAINED BY ILLNESS.

When the spirit of Emmett Mahor
winged its flight to the land beyond
the stars the sad news that he was
dead was flashed by wire to his sis
ter, Mrs. Amelia Mahon OJeary, at
Oklahoma City. 1t was expected that
Mrs. 0Leary would come at once to
attend her brothers funeral. However,
as letters from her to her brother
Tom show, the serious illness of her
daughter prevented, her from coming.
As little child, as a school girl and
as a teacher in Franklin
Academy, Mrs. 0'Leary is most pleas
antly remembered by the people of
Columbus, who extend sympathy to
her in the loss Of her brother.
