MARINES' CLUB IN PARIS 3 , .in! While the recrultltiK slatlons of the United States marines over here are being literally swamped with applica tions, It Is interesting to note that this distinguished and valiant corps has a club of Its own In France, membership In which will probably be as eagerly coveted as In the corps Itself. Tlio photograph shows the entrance of the American Marines' club In Purls. Where Soy-Bean Flourishes. North Carolina claims rank as the largest soy-bean-production state, with an estimated crop for 1017 of 1,500,000 bushels, an Increase of 20 per cent, over HU0. Despite this large crop, tho oil mills of eastern North Carolina Im ported 200,000 bushels of soy-beans recently from China. A soy-bean har vester has been Invented by North Carolina farmers. This harvester thrashes the beans from the vines In tho fields. , The Hesitation.

In most countries little birds are mulched against one another for beauty of plumage or strength of song, but In India they are taught prize lighting. The quail Is most commonly used In these prize competitions, and the bird dealers who stock the fighting kind do a good truilo among the natives. The birds are kept In cages, scores and scores being on view nt the various bird dealers' shop Those who engage In the sport go (he round of those shops, and select those birds that seem quarrelsome to the other Inmates of the cage. For tho small additional fee of five cents In our money the priv ilege Is given of selecting from tho slock In hand. ' Only the mule blrte are used, the females being placed In their cages within sight of the battle royal to en CQtirago their mutes to fight. This they readily do by means of a peculiar whistle. The natives have side stokes on the fight, but tho only consolation tho winning bird receives for perhaps a few bruises and n good shaking up Ii a liberal feed of delicacies. g; .... .

REASONS FOR RATIFYING. Among aeven reasons given by Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, why states should ratify the prohibition amendment are these: A national evil requires a national remedy. Our Interstate relations and the inherent, vicious character of the tr ifflc make It a nutlonul evil. The al coholic may drink liquor In one state ind commit crime or become a public charge In another. The remedy must be as fur-reaching as the evil. Stute boundaries are not udequate barriers to moral contagion and no state, care less In such mutters, should be per mitted to dump Its drunks and other derelicts over the border line for a neighboring state to care for. It will result In team work between tho state and nutlon In dealing with the iquor traffic. The dry states are handicapped In their effort to enforce prohibition us long as the federal gov ernment continues to collect revenue from, and recognizes the outlawed-truf-flc In, such states. National prohibi tion unites the state and federal gov ernment In a common policy for tho public good. The purposes of the federal govern ment cun be more easily consummate under national prohibition. One of the fundamental purposes of the federal constitution Is "to promote the general welfare." The courts tell us this means to protect public health and public morals. The liquor tralllc undermines or destroys both. We cannot carry out the fundamental purpose of our gov ernment If we foster, protect and en courage crime-producing business, like the beverage liquor tralllc. WHAT NATION-WIDE PROHIBI. TION MEANS. From the noise that Is mad about It among the wets, one might think pro hibition meant murder. It doesn't It simply moans more food, and that means lower food prices. It means more efficient labor, and that means greater output, and that means lower prices again. ' It means that tho men w1h are now making beer and whisky will begin to make the equivalent of what they con sume, and that, again, means lower prices for you. It means more car space for legiti mate commodities, and that means faster handling of freight, and that means lower prices. It means moro ship tonnage to be used In transporting material for our boys In France and for our allies, and that means not only lower prices for; our allies, but the lives of American boys saved for America. Incidentally, It means less crime,' and that means less taxes. It means less pauperism, and that means less' tuxes, ft means less Insanity, and! (hat means less taxes. It means less3 disease and death, and that means In finite myriads of things for the good old U. S. A. Board of Temperance, Methodist Episcopal Church. COMPENSATION FOR THE BREW ERS. As an example of how a brewery plant may become a constructive In stead of a destructive agency a "wln-the-war" aid we mention the Belling ham (Wash.) brewery. This Is now owned by tho Royal Dairy Products company and Is equipped as a con densery and cold storage plant Many similar cases might be cited. In wet ctutes, also, brewers, seeing the sure' approach of prohibition, are remodel) Ing their plants for better and bigger business. The brewers are finding' "compensation." , ' Incidentally It may be mentioned that the glass works which formerly mndo beer bottles may now turn Its at tention to the manufacture of milk bot tles. Ice cream may take the place ot the "schooner," and Instead of tho "growler" for the worktpun's noontide1 lunch will be used tho thermos bottle of milk. WOULD CUT PRISON POPULATION IN TWO. "My experience on the Rtafe com mission of prisons," says Mr. Richard Ilurd of New Tork, "as well as my study of crime In other states, makes me confident that If wartime prohibi tion should be adopted the population of our prisons and jails would be cut In hulves. As the totul number of men In prison In the United States averages about 500,000, this would re lease SThO.OOO men for useful tasks. I would a ild that la making require ments for prison or Jail accommoda tions In different counties tho state commission of prisons takes official cognizance of whether a county Is wet or dry, requiring only about half the accommodation for a dry couoty." NO DRUNKENNESS. In 119 drink-cure establishments In Germnny, according to the Press Cir cular of International Abstaining Physicians, there are 20,310 drunk ards receiving treatment this In the country of beer where the beer advo cates claim there Is no drunkenness. Drunkenness Is so much a public health question that over 200 govern ment oOlclals, leading physicians and social worker met recently In the fourth conference on tho care of In ebriates, It which the foregoing sta tistics were reported. WHAT BECOMES OF THE DISTIL LERY UNDER PROHIBITION? The Hnmmond (Ind.) distillery, on of the largest In the Sixth Internal revenue district In which It Is located, and which paid, tip to the rime It was closed by the government more than $12,000,000 annually In revenue taxes, was recently sold to the Nowak Mill ing corporation of Buffalo, N. Y. This company will spend $100,000 for new machinery to be used In the manufac ture of horse, cattle and chicken feed. ' Union' Signal.
