the cause of the fall of France in
1910.
6. How many lives and homes
have been wrecked by drinking
within your own experience,
friend reader? Think carefully.
Z. The alcohol habit has caused
many more deaths, widows and
orphans than all wars in the I'm
tied States. We, the people could
control this in great measure if
we WOULD.
8. Amid legal, open drinking
and high-opwered advertising
and planned cultivation of the
drink habit, what chance has our
youth to escape the dangerous
habit?
9. Do you Like school teachers
and preachers who drink? Well,
how does God rate parents who
drink?
10. Dickinson people spent
more than $19O,OOO.OO for drinks
to receive about $38,O0O.OO tax
last year. Could you think of a
sounder way to raise $4,000?
II. The writer is informed that
Dickinson County would receive
a share of beverage tax, even
though we vote dry. Will our
schools prosper in the end, oper-
ated from such funds? AS one
parent, am afraid not.
Now, friend reader, for some
instructions upon drinking that
cannot be refuted, I ask you to
get your Holy Bible and read
the following selected passages
and other related ones if you
will:
(D Prov. 1921 (2) Nah. ITO

Dor drink :. - The writer, for
one feels that voting wet in this
election would invite this woe
from our Creator. We grant that
to vote the county dry will not
move all drinking from among
us. but it will show the world
and God where we stand on this
question.-C. E. REEDY, Willard,

Allied Armies in Italy
Expected 10 Bypass
Smallest Republic
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.-The Allied armies
in Italy, now pushing north of
Perugia, are within so miles OF
another country which they most
likely will bypass, for this territory
San Marino, the smallest republic
in the world is at war with no
nation.
This country within country is,
perhaps, best known outside of
italy for its postage stamps. It's
only other exports are stone from
It's steep mountainsides and
strong wine grown on its volcanic
soil.
San Marino, 80 square miles and
with a population of about $4,000,
lies IA miles southwest of Rimini,
its turreted parliament house atop
an almost perpendicular cliff over
looking Rimini and the Adriatic.
Fascism Discarded.
The inland republic became
Fascist when Mussolini assumed
power in 1922, but, like Italy, it
discarded FaScism when the dictator
fell.
Tradition Is that the republic was
founded by Marinus, probably about
the middle of the fourth century. It
carefully avoided the faction fights
of the Middle Ages, but joined the
Ghibellines and was interdicted by
the Pop in 1247-1249. In 1903 it
fell into the hands of Caesar Borgia,
but soon regained It's freedom. It's
independence was recognized in 1881
by the Papacy.
In 1889 Cardinal Alberoni at
tempted to deprive San Marino of
its independence. The republic was
restored in 1740 and respected by
The country has three peaks, each
crowned with a tower. The prin-
cipal church, in classical style, dates
from 1926 and contains the body OF
st. Marinus.
Has Army of 1900.
The available armed forces OF the
country number about 1900 men.
San Marino issues it's own copper
coinage, while italian money is used
for the higher values.
The republic finds a rich source
Of revenue in frequent changes of
It's postage stamps, divided into two
series, one for foreign and the other
Tor internal postage. When, in 1910,
new taxes were imposed to provide
higher incomes ior officials, q peas

San Marino has steadily refused
the offer of a gaming table. In re-
cent years the country has published
newspapers. The museum contains
among its curios the banner of Carl

and without endorsers. The wide
choice of payment plans gives you an
opportunity to repay on monthly
schedule that fits your own earnings
and situation. Notice that the sooner
you repay the less your loan costs.
Borrow for less
Payments shown repay loans in full
and include charges at Household's
rate of 2oc per month on the unpaid
balance. The Maryland Small Loan
Law authorizes maximum charge of
80 per month. If a loan will help
you to better yourself, phone or visit
Household Finance.

DON'T GET a LOAN
until you do this

DEFoRE you get loan, try to solve
ID your money problem without
borrowing. See if you can't squeeze
through by trimming your expenses
or by making the things you now
have last you longer. If you do get
a loan, the wise plan is to borrow no
more than you really need-and to
pay your loan back as rapidly as
possible to reduce the cost.
Loans without endorsers
Household Finance makes salary, car
and furniture loans to men and women
for constructive purposes. You may
borrow $50 to $500 quickly, privately
