MANY not in favor Of drunken
IVA ness but of real temperance,
believe with Thomas Jefferson that
light beer for workmen, light wine
for other classes, ice water for those
that prefer it, would be the right
plan. Meanwhile we are piling up
wealth and trying an interesting ex-
pertinent.

WE have some drinks, pretty bad
w kind unfortunately. But no
longer in big cities does the number
of saloons equal the number of police
men and school teachers. Once in
New York there were eight thou
sand school teachers and eight thou
sand open saloons. Now there are
about twice as many school teachers,
and not one legally open saloon,
That's an improvement.

IL bition laws are not the work Of
cranks, and are making America
"the most prosperous country under
the sun, not because they have the
gold, but because they have not the

DUSSIAN women also show intelli-
N gence fighting an attempt to re-
duce the marriage age for girls be-
low fifteen, declaring that girl at
sixteen is "only a baby" She is
more than that, but it is foolish to
let her marry younger than 16. The
right law would be no marriage under
90.
The mother gives to the child
health, strength, plus moral charac-
ter, and many other good qualities.
She should wait until strength and
health are fully developed.

mr.. z. G. SIMMONS, who sells
N goods to hundreds of thou
sands of American families
every year and knows conditions,
said yesterday:
None Of us realizes what it means
to this country that the average man
is earning twice what he earned a
little while ago, S. or SO day for
a "handy man." all the way up to
$50 a day for skilled mechanics. The
people are spending, but they are not
extravagant. Look at the billions
pouring into life insurance and saw
ings banks"
Don't GAMBLE, proceed care
fully in everything, but don't sell the
United States, or stocks representing
its real value SHORT.
mention Russia and respectable
Ava high finance shudders. Utter
that dread word "Bolshevism the
same high power pulls the bed covers
up over its head. Yet somebody in
Russia seems to be thinking along
constructive lines. Russian agents
are buying $250,OO0 worth of high
grade rams in the United States, to
improve the grade of Russian sheep.
THE Soviet government is spending
$35,000,000 improving the ma
tional telephone system, even install
ling automatic systems in Moscow
and Rostov. 1t took us long while
to get the automatic telephone.
Development of telephones is the
test of civilization, of which one
great task is to bring the human race
closer together.
