failing to cooperate in upholding the
constitution while we remain in the
union we will be lying in the bed an
other has made by doing nothing to
help keep it clean.
1t is put forth as vote-catching
propaganda that if this measure pas
SEES it will give us light wines and
beer. 1t is hard to see how any one
can honestly think that. For this
measure cannot change the law or the
constitution, which at present prohibit
these liquors. Prohibition would
still be our law and wine and beer,
and any liquor of an Intoxicating kind,
would still be prohibited. The only
way these could then be secured is the
same way they can be secured now,
that is in violation of law. And the
dealing in them would be as criminal
as it is now.
Much is made of the present expense
to our state and county in prescott
ing liquor cases. A little information
will show that this need not worry any
one and that the prohibition law and
the attempt to enforce it is not a
burden upon the tax payers. Records
will show that the expense of prose-
cutting these cases is entirely borne by
the defendants and is paid for out of
the fines and forfeitures.
1t is an interesting item of news
that in Missouri which is confronted
with just such measure as this, the
propaganda of the nullificationists has
become too strong for their most rad
ical wet leader, Senator Reed, and he
has come out against this means of
tampering with the Constitution of
the United States. Because of this
the national head of the association
which is putting these fights has called
for retreat in Missouri and advises
its members not to vote for the
measure which aims at the repeating
Of the state prohibition laws. If it is
wrong in Missouri why is it not wrong
in Montana?
These are few of the reasons why
every citizen should vote against Init
iative Measure No. 30. There are
many other reasons, also, which are
worth considering. This is time
when every voter should become we'll
informed, and should consider his bal
lot very carefully for there are issues
today of great Importance.

1t was agreed that before any definite

The Scandal Monger


Another political campaign is on
and, of course, the scandal monger is
abroad in the land Truth means
nothing to him for truth is jewel.
He usually represents himself as being
a reformer but let me warn you to
watch him for if he is investigated
nine chances out of ten it will be found
that he has a record that stinks to
high heaven. He is simply human
sewer.
If he and his kind would practice
the precepts he pretends to preach
human society would be really worth
while for decent citizens as he repre-
sents himself as the epitome of vir-
tue, honesty and patriotism. But
watch him.
SANDER is a blighting sirocco--and
like the loathsome worm it and its
pernicious monger leave path cover
ed with slime. Any day now you may
hear him warbling his song of dis
grace on the streets but-stop and
think. Don't believe him and don't
jump at conclusions. Make him prove
his statements of calumny against
your fellow citizen.
Remember that you can lock your
door against a thief but against a
slanderer's tongue there is no re-
course. He is more to be dreaded than
the most loathsome reptile that crawls
upon the face of the earth for the rep
tile usually gives warning before he
strikes you-but a slanderer-never.
1t has been well said that, Giving he
is travelling pest and worse and, dy-
ing impenitent, his soul is too deeply
stained for HELP.

Life's Hurdles
BY L. e. Bisch

People who know how to listen
possess a great asset.
The good listener has a distinct ad-
vantage over those who don't know
how.
A good listener is invariably popu-
lar.
Everybody takes to a good listener.
People like TO talk TO him.
Good listeners, indeed, often get
credit for sympathy, reasonableness
and fair-mindedness even if they do
not possess these fine qualities.
Furthermore, if one gives full atten-
tion to what is being said, the assump-
ton that the listener is q thorough
and deep thinker is very natural.
Good listeners also get credit for
being well-bred and courteous.
They are never accused Of being
snobbish or of pretending superiority.
Besides, if you are tolerant of an
others tedious talking or awkward
ness in expressing himself, you inspire
him with confidence and you get the
best out Of him.
You are likely to miss a great deal
by cutting another short, by not allow
ing him to finish what he had to say.
Timidity often bottles up real worth
while ideas.
But don't, Of course, waste valuable
time with listening to idle chatter.
But / would like to emphasize the
importance of giving everybody a
chance if there is presumptive evil
dence that be has a right to your
attention!
Give every such person an oppor-
tunity to say what's on his mind with
out hurrying or frightening him-at
least once!
After that, the first time, you will
know whether you ought to listen pa
tiently or not.
There's no valid reason why you
should be bothered and bored If the
other fellow has forfeited his rights
to your attention.
Besides, listening patiently on the
first visit is likely to save time in the
end.
Sir Arthur Helps said: 1T takes a
great man to make good listener"
Whether it takes a great man or not,
the ability to listen often produces eur
prising results.
Practice being a good listener.
II is easy 20 master.
1t is a distinctly valuable exer-
else.

Endurance of Dunes
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

In their enduring ruggedness there
is a message Of inspiration that helps
one who feels it to "hold on" in the
trials Of life.
The face Of the lunes is like the face
Of the common people. 1t is grim, de-
termined, enduring.
1t possesses neither the kingly gran
deur Of the towering mountains nor
the abject serfdom Of impotent deserts.
Through the passing chiliads it has
remained, remained in spite Of wind
and wave, remained one Of the enig-
mas Of geological endurance.
Buffeted, driven about, torn asunder,
the particles yet rcuain, and remain
ing, combine in lines that alter day by
day, that move, that retreat, that ad.
vance; but lines that lie in the shad-
ows OF evening, gray, gaunt, beaten
and deformed-but sublimely everlast.
ing.
In the face Of the dunes there Is seen
this example of endless endurance.
In its barren beauty there speaks a
message Of grim courage and indomit-
able lasting power.

Some time ago the writer visited
the wild sand dune country Of northern
Indiana.
This sandy waste stretches along the
southern shore Of Lake Michigan be-
tween Gary and Michigan City.
The high sandhills are ages old.
Some are wandering dunes" Nov
ing slowly through the years they have
worked eastward. In their track new
dunes are born. Others are fixed and
on their sides sand cherries and stunt
ed pines struggle for exist"r e.
Indians have come and gone; pio-
neer scouts have given place to adven-
turesome settlers M they in turn have
made way for the teeming city bred I;
but the dunes have remained.
Over them the great invention Of the
age had a cradle and a elimination.
Here Octave Chanute made expert
ments with gliders, giving his inform
alton TO the Wright Brothers later on.
And here day and night great roaring
planes fly overhead carrying the mails
from Cleveland and Chicago.
The dunes have outlived the wilder
ness; they continue untamed in the
heart Of civilization.

blood destruction"
This statement may see rather
technical. but it can be explained this
way: The body is all the time being
torn down, as the gasoline is all the
time being burned up in the automo-
bile.
The body must be built constantly,
Just as the supply of gasoline must
be renewed. New blood, which SUP
plies the body fuel, must be formed
just as fast as it is exhausted by USE
In pernicious anemia, something in
terferes with this balance between
blood formation and blood destruction.
DIR. Allen thinks the chief organism
causing the trouble is the blood-de-
stroying pus germ. He would seek out
and remove every pus center, like bad
teeth or an infected gall bladder.
Then he recommends diet to pro-
tect the blood corpuscles. To make
them live and function as they should
he regulates the mineral salts in the
diet.
Another interesting feature Of the
treatment is che doing away with blooi

Public Interest
BY "The Spectator"

A number of striking incidents
have, of late, turned the searchlight
upon the cash value Of publicity.
Nellie" Durham, 72-year-old res
ident of the little Maine town of Nor
way, had travelled only once for any
great distance away from home. He
had spent his quiet life among other
thirss, making snowshoes and fiddling
for neighboring dances.
Long ago he won the reputation If
the champion fiddler of Maine. He
was a local celebrity, but that was
all.
Then he started out to fiddle for
Henry Ford. The newspapers took
up the story and he became known all
over the country as a colorful fig
ure. He was surrounded By big
crowds when he arrived in New York.
a contract to appear in vaudeville at
a large salary was Immediately Ct
fered him.
He was able to command this offer
not because he could play the fiddl4
well. He could play just as well for
fifty years before. 1t was because
the publicity he had received hal
aroused public interest and made poo
pie want to see him.
Nor was it just athletic ability that
made "Red7 Oranges first two weeks
in professional football read like q
financial fairy tale.
He might have cavorted in tho back
lot among the COWS all his life, ex-
hibiting the same finesse Of speed, side
stepping and stiff-arming, and never
have been able TO command as mucl.
in a lifetime as he cleared in one
afternoon.
The reason he was able 10 make as
much in a couple Of hours as the
President Of the United States re-
ceives for a year Of terrific response
bility was because be had demonstrat-
ed his skill before large crowds in a
spectacular way. He had received so
much publicity that people wanted 10
see him and were willing TO pay to
DO 50.
Fay Lampier, q lissom young lady
from Sacramento, was pounding the
keys Of a typewriter at the usual
stenographer's salary before she won
the beauty contest at Atlantic City.
As soon rs she was pronounced Miss
America she was offered a contract in
the movies.
This was not because Of her beauty
alone. She was just as pretty before.
] was because she had received reams
Of favorable publicity which made
people want 10 see her.
Years ago, when baked apples were
unknown in restaurants, number Of
men interested in apple raising band
ed themselves together to give publici-
~ TO baked apples. They pledged
themselves TO ask for apples every
time they sat at public table and
selected this single as their slogan:
apple, apple, ask for apple,
Everywhere you 90.
Closely scan the bill Of fare
And If apple is not there
Call the landlord wodn and
Call the landlord down with care!"
Some commercial travellers took it
up and the publicity given by con-
stantly asking for apples and talking
about them is said to have been one Of
the big reasons baked apples are now
served in all restaurants.
