ming Commission, in consultation with
Senators King of Utah, Capper of Kan
sas, and Austin of Vermont.

District after the primary purpose of
the housing corporations work had
been achieved. The report gives a long
list of local organizations that have in
dorsed the alley-improvement bill The

tion Of alley dwellings by 1914.

N.C.T.U. BEGINS
ITS BIG drive
Points to Promises Made
by Firms for Liquor as
"Disastrously False
By SAM KNOTT

CHICAGO. March 27.-CUP).
The Women'S Christian Temper
ance Union began rallying its
forces last night for the "big
drive" in it's war against repeal
of prohibition.
Union leaders believe the beer
legalization battle which they
have lost was only a skirmish. The
real war" they believe, is just
beginning.
A call to battle went out last
night ard the opening gun of the
big drive will be fired today at
anti-hquor meetings in every state.
1t will be fired in the form of a
special" bulletin from the ma
tional headquarters in Evanston,
pointing out Finland as an exam
pie of what happens when liquor
bans are lifted.
Finland has been "pacing" the
United States in prohibition his
tory for several years and in using
that country as an example the
w. c. T. U. feels it is fighting its
enemy with the enemy's own
weapons because vets have con-
tended that conditions have I'M
proved in Finland since it showed
the U. S. the way" by legalizing
liquor about a year ago.
The w. c. T. U. interprets the
Finnish situation as being oppo-
site from what vets claim it to be.
EVERY wet promise made in
the United States was made in
Finland" says the bulletin. Every
such promise has turned out to be
disastrously false.
"Repeal of prohibition was
promised to be an effective factor
in restoring the value of Finnish
money, but nothing of the sort
occurred. Finland's budget diff
culties have not been solved. The
treasury has never been as empty
as it is now.
Finnish vets blamed prohibit
ton for high taxes. City taxes
there are now 10 to 80 per cent
higher than before prohibition
was repealed.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT was not solved
by repeal. The farm problem IS
more serious than ever. VETS
promised great loans from France
in return for repeal, but no loans
have come"
The bulletin quotes an assis-
tant chief of the Finnish coast
guard as saying that "smugglers
and bootleggers are continuing
their dirty business. since repeal.
Finnish vets promised repeal
would decrease crime" states the
bulletin. "The crime conditions IS
now more alarming than ever be-
fore. The number of prisoners IN
iails has increased.
"There is more drunkenness.
Statistics do not show this because
notice have gone back to the old
custom of arresting DRINKS only
when they are obstreperous, but
actually. conditions are now ap-
preaching debauchery.
every wet promise made IN
the United States was made IN
Finland. Every such promise has
turned out to be disastrously
false. Repeal in this country Will
mean only more drunkenness:
more crime, more poverty. am
not a single roseate hope oil tne
vets will appear to cheer the
gloom"

VIM. NJ. Holmes, After 80 Years
In West, Returns to Scene Of
First Days in Henderson County
Has Many Experiences in
Growing West, Without
Kin at Age of IA

VIM. NJ. Holmes, native Of this
county in his seth year and who
has lived away from here since
he was about five years old is q
visitor in Hendersonville at this
time. Going to Iowa about 1852,
he was orphaned at an early date
and his elder brother was killed
in the Civil war. At the age of
II he was without father, moth
er or brothers.
Scarcely gray after his long
and varied experiences in the
west, Mr.. Holmes gives the appear
ance of a much younger man, and
has vivid recollections of his
years in the west, which he knew
in the making, and where he par
ticipated in many Indian fights.
Mr.. Holmes was born in Hen
derson county about four miles
from Hendersonville in August
of 1S47, but he declares that he
has scarcely any recollection of
his early years in this county.
He says that about all he remem-
bers of his early years here is
that he lived with his family in
a cabin and that food was pre-
pared on an open fireplace. "As
matter of fact" he says, 81
was about 10 years old before ]
ever saw a cooking stove. How
ever" he adds, "it was a good
living, and we were comfort
able"
When he was about five years
old he went with his family to
Iowa, where his father, Durell
Holmes, settled in Wappello
county, cleared land and improv-
ed farm. There were three
children, and Mr.. Holmes elder
brother went to the Civil war
with the 18th Iowa regiment and
was killed in the battle Of Shiloh.
Although not old enough to
serve in the war, Mr.. Holmes
has vivid recollections of this
event of history, and declares
that one Of his first memories is
of the election of President
James Buchanan.
His parents died about this
time, Mr.. Holmes says, and at
the age of IA he was left with
neither father, mother or brother.
In the spring of 1866 he left
Iowa and went to Nebraska City,
Neb., where he hired out to the
firm of Coe and Carter to drive
a four-mule team to Denver and
Fort Laramie, Wyoming. eve
rode the near-wheeler and drove
the other mules" he said and
left Nebraska City in April.
The train reached Denver
about the first of June and Fort
Laramie in the latter part of
June. and Mr.. Holmes then went
to Deer Greek ranch, now Glen
Rock, Wyoming.
Deer Creek Ranch, he said,
is about 26 miles east of Casper,
and had formerly been garrison
ed by Winnebago Indians, enem-
les of the Sioux. The Indian gar
rison had been removed and on
August IL, before troops arrived,
