MY PAL
The fellow whom ! appreciate;
Is the one who sees we're never
late.
His duties he goes at with a smile;
Which uakes you know that life's
worth while.
Ban. OH stage Is his debate
Get down boys now don't be late
Come on perks you can hear his
holler:
Turner's on stage it's her you
foller.
As the perks go through their rou-
tine intact:
He runs up stairs to get the next
act,
Good Lawd, Amt you ready yet.
Miss Aida Ward?
AS to the stage Miss Ward de-
cends;
He goes back to his task again,
\ problem hard and very deep;
To find where Nicodemus has
fallen asleep
He wakes him up with smile
that's beaming, says Wards
singing;

Amt that something to appreciate
Now who keeps that fellow from

A curious, eager crowd stood
around the Hopkins County Jail.

as soon as the news OF the capture
OF Dave Wflbert had reached Ryan

jail. which had formerly been a

head in his hands. He realized that
his destiny was near at hand. He
realized that his mother and sister

pain would last only short while,
unless the mob decided TO torture
him with tar and feathers and 9TH

HOME CITY FAULT FINDERS

Some cities have lot of who spend half their time finding fault with every bit progressive work that being done for their city.
 This crowd do anything themselves toward boost ing their city, but spend their time finding fault with the rest of the world in general and the home city in particular
 Another crowd is bunch of business men who think they keep in business by kidding themselves into thinking their stores are so we'll known that business will to them anyway
 They might as we'll look facts in the face If they business they must go after and business is never so good that it can't be made better.
 The crowd that puts in most of their time talking about rotten business usually get it.
 Boosters who go after business with united effort usual 1y get it.
 Boosting better business for the home city pays dv dends.
 That of the ways to make your city prosperous IS to BUY AT HOME.
 You should read the advertisements.
 You should buy advertised goods
 When you buy at home you see the goods you buy
 The firms of your city stand behind the goods they advertise.
 If your community is good enough for you to live ln it is good enough for you to spend your money in.
 Your home city is where you earn your money. Keep your money circulating in your own home city.
 The advertising columns are your market place. 1t will save you time and money to read them carefully
 The upto-date merchandiser advertisers. PatronZe him. \.
 And you MT Business man should not complain about people sending out side for good unless you keep your money circulating in Nome and not send outside for things that can be obtained in your own city.

LETS LOOK AT THE RECORD"

Some who strove earnestly for repeal and who
hoped for the obviously incompatible combination
of temperance and rich governmental revenues
are complaining that repeal has not brought these
results. Their protest, however, is not directed at
lack of liquor regulation and an appalling rise IN
the rate of motor accidents but rather against high
taxes on liquor which they blame for the preva-
ence of bootleggng and liquor smuggling. "Mahe
it possible for the legitimate liquor dealer to sell
liquor cheap they say, "and will make boot
logging Improbable and impossible"
Without stopping to inquire how temperance is
to be promoted by making liquor more widely sala-
BILE, may examine the argument that reduction
of the federal internal revenue tax of 50 gallon
whisky to the pre-prohibtion rate of $1.1O a
gallon would eliminate the illicit manufacturer. As
former governor of New York would say, Lets
look at the record
Back in 1912, which may be taken as typical
pre-prohibition year, when liquor taxes were low
and whisky cheap that every dive and barrel
house offered grades selling low as 5 cents 4
drink, Royal f. Cabell, commissioner of internal
revenue, had this to say in his annual report
illicit distillng and bootlegging continue with
out abatement. Two thousand, four hundred
and Sixty-five llicit stls) seized during the
year just closed If illicit distilling is to be
eradicated it will be necessary to maintain in sec
tOns where it is prevalent, much larger force
than the present appropriation will permit"
1t will be seen that the ''revenooers were smash
ing something more than 200 stills month";
rate which had been maintained for number of
years, while whisky at its lowest price and
taxes at the point where the friends of cheap liquor
would like to see them today The records of
nearly every federal district court in the United

church?
The teachings of the church are that it is
not man-made institution, that 1t is OF
divine origin, and that the head of the
church is the creator of the world and all
things that are in the world, including
mankind. As Dr.. Maltbie D. BabcOck so I'M
nressivelv said in the song of which he was
the author, This Is Ny Fathers World,
and he must be interested in his world and
in his children and stands ready to guide
and help them. His plans fail with many
of his children because they are not seek
ing to fit into his plans; but his plans as {
whole never fail, and the people OF ms
church should strive to understand some
thing of his plans and purposes and shape
their course accordingly.
