Evil Effects Of Saloons And Bars
Discussed By WrangeI Citizen

brother of about six years Of age.
In the semidarkness of this Ill
lighted town, the sight Of those two
cold and almost helpless children in
their forlorn condition was a sight
to stir the blood of any man. who
was a man, and at that time I had
the feeling that l was a man both
physically and morally. When ap-
preached those children to learn the
cause of their grief the little girl
asked would I be SO kind TO find
their father and have them taken
home. They were cold and hungry,
forlorn and forsaken.
The fact that l knew their father
quite we'll and knew that they lived
ON a ranch some miles out of town,
I felt that I knew where to find him.
Guiding those little ones to a
more lighted part of the street,
bid them wait and promised that
would be back shortly with their
father. Knowing this man to be a
noted character and when drinking
a bad hombre, I fully realized the
risk of trying to force him to do
other than his own wishes. However
my Irish was somewhat ruffled and
went after him in a business-Iike
way. l found him in the very act of
treating a full house aud to my en-
treaties he stOutly refused Never
theless, l was expecting as much and

marched him out to his little ones
who were so sadly in need of him
even in his deplorable condition.
The moral of this little true story
is one that might be well worth re-
lating. Although this man Hunter
had a fine wife and little children,
also a fine ranch and numerous cat
tie, only a short while after this
little episode he was killed Shot to-

HOOVER URGES RESTRICTION
SALE OF WAR WEAPONS

NEW YORK = Former President
Hoover yesterday urged the United
States to raise standard against
barbarism" by prohibiting the sale
of bombing planes, poison gas and
submarines to all nations, warlike
or peaceful, at all times
He suggested selling instruments
of defense, but none of offense, say
ing, 81 do not like to think of the
day when bombing planes engaged
in killing women or children or
both on either side in this war
would be identified as products of
American manufacture.
Equally important, and from ex-
actly the same reasoning, am con-
WINGED we should permit nations to
buy from us the instruments by
which they can defend themselves
from such barbarities''. he said.

GERMANS CONTINUE AIR
ATTACKS IN NORTH SEA

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE German
air force was ordered today TO con-
tinue its attacks on British warships
blockading the North sea. Official
quarters called the order one of the
most important German announce
ments since the war IN Poland ended
with Warsaw's capitulation.
Aerial cooperation with seacraft
in fighting the British North sea
tleet was launched October z. Auth
critics said the success OF the first
three days of such warfare brought
the new order to continue joint sea
and air operations
The British have admitted aerial
attacks on British surface craft, but
nave denied that damage was intliet-
ed ON the fleet.

The little boy turned out to be a
typical western rancher, while the

the guiding hand of a real mother
It is not necessary that we go far.
or that We call back in years in or
der that we may see the effects Of
too much drink. All around about US
today, we cannot help but see con
ditions growing rapidly worse.
There are those who may tell you
that those who too freely indulge
in liquors, hurt no one but them
Selves however. this 1t not a fact
because too many little children are
fast becoming involved.
1 recall one instance and not so
long ago on a cold rainy night when
a little girl approached me asking
me if 1 would help her find her
mother because her little brother
and she were hungry and cold and
wished to go home. It was then
quite late or near midnight. After
a somewhat lengthy search the two
of us located the childg mother sit
ting with a number of others at a
bar drinking. When approached the
mother refused to take the children
home but finally gave them each a
niekle telling them to get some can
dy and go on home.
Being somewhat disguised
turned back up the street alone,
when 1 had gone only a short dis
lance l encountered three more
small children who were cold and
wet aud crying in the street, out in
the rain, while their parents were
involved in a drunken quarrel
about who should take them home.
Finally they went in for another
drink leaving the children out in the
rain.
