"Tramp Too Anxious to Work.
A trawp, hired recently by William
Corcoran of Volga, S. D., to cut the

GIVES CHANCE TO "RUBBER"
Simple Reason Why Men Have Adopt
ed Style of Wearing Hat on
Dsck of the Head.
An explanation has been suggested
of the style now prevalent among
men of wearing the hat on the back
of the head.
The chief function for the hot ex
cept for the bald Is to thade the eyes,
but on a city street there Is seldom
anv direct sunshine, and therefor
small actual necessity i'or shading the
eyes with the hatbrlm.
Now comes the discovery of an Im
pelling motive to keep the bat on the
back of the head. This motive exlBts
In cities, even for the oldest resident.
Take Now York, for Instance. Inter
esting things are always happening
there above- the level of the eyes,
things that people like to look at, even
while they pass along. If the hat were
worn low on the face the htad would
have to be craned upward, and every
one would know that the person was
looking at a particular thing.
Whereas when the hat is worn on
the back of the head the eyes may
roam where they will, and an air of
Indifference and sang frold be pre
served. , Here Is an Instance of a style which
seems an affectation having a real
basis In utility. '

THE HOTEL BAR.
"It Is time we ceased to Insult the
American public by insisting that a
hotel cannot be run without a bar."
These aie not the words of a pro
hibition fanatic but of the proprietor
of a fine hotel and were spoken at the
annual meeting of the Northwestern
Hotel Men's association. The speaker,
Mr. Lelmbacker of Gardner, N. D
addressed the convention on "Prohibi
tion an Economic Proposition," and
hlB vigorous handling of the subject
called forth great applause. ."From
the manager down to the bell hop,"
he Bald, "booze makes morn -trouble
than any other one thing In our butl
ness. If the causes for eight out of
every ten hotel failures were to bo
carefully analyzed, liquor would be
found to be the rock on which the
business was shattered. It Is an In
disputable fact that more managers
lose their positions on account of
booze than through any lack of real
efficiency. The same may bo found
throughout the crew."

RUSSIA ANSWERS.
"When vodka was on sale the aver
age savings bank deposits In Russia
were In the neighborhood of from $16,
000,000 a year a year, not a month.
In the thirty-one days . of January,
1915, five months after the sale of
vodka was prohibited In one month
the former vodka drinkers put $30,000,
000 Into the savings banks-In the em
pire. They saved nearly twice as
much In one month as they formerly
saved In a year," says Samuel G.
Wythe in the Saturday Evening Post,
The liquor Interests of the United
States are telling the people that "na
tional prohibition would mean the loss
of $250,000,000 to the treasury of our
national government," and are asking,
"who will make up this revenue?"
Russia has shown the way. That na
tion Is demonstrating the soundness
of the policy expressed In these words
of William E. Gladstone "Give me a
sober people and I will provide the
revenue."
PROHIBITION EMPTIES JAIL.
"It has surprised even the strongest
advocates of prohibition to see the ef
fect that law has had in preventing
crimes and misdemeanors In Greenlee
county," says the Clifton (Ariz.)
Journal.
"For many years the courts of this
country have been occupied with a
multiplicity of cases, mostly resulting
from booze, and the several Justice
courts have been kept busy sentenc
ing prisoners to Jail or fining them.
For years the Jails have been crowd
ed to capacity and the fines have often
run close to $1,000 In a single Justice
court In one month. But conditions
have changed since the first of the
year. The Jail has been empty at some
places a good share of the time; cases
have been few and far between, and
most of them were slight misdemeanors."
WARN COUNTRY EDITORS!
Falsehoods and misrepresentations
by the page, the column, or the para
graph are being sent out to the coun
try press by the publicity department
of the Liquor Dealers' association of
Cincinnati, with the assurance that all
they desire Is "a fair representation
of their sldo of the prohibition ques
tion," and that the matter sent may
be relied upon absolutely. Every white
rlbboner should feel a personal respon
sibility in warning the editors in her
community of the nature and source
of these articles, and offer In their
place to furnish some of the excel
lent material sent out by the publicity
bureau of the National W. C. T. U.
The Union Signal.
MISSOURI DRYING UP.
More than half the people of Mis
souri live in territory absolutely dry.
For years more than half the territory
in the state has been dry, but the
large city population meant that a
majority of the people lived In wet
territory. As the result, however, of
very recent dry victories 50.2 per cent
In Missouri's entiro population now
live in saloonless territory. Between
75 and 80 per cent of the state's ter
ritory Is dry. Soventy-nlne of the 114
counties are dry; nineteen dry with
the exception of one town of more
than 2,500 population. Sixteen coun
ties and the city of St. Louis are the
only entirely wet localities in the
state.
STILL ON THE JOB.
"When national constitutional pro
hibition has been socured won't the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
be out of a Job?" queried a young
woman Journalist of Miss Anna A.
Gordon, president of the National W.
C. T. U. She was assured that "our
organization. In common with all tem
perance forces, would then enter upon
its most Important task that of en
forcing the prohibitory law and of
maintaining through education, agita
tion and organization the high stand
ard of Bentlment necessary for the
election of law-enforcing officials."
8TRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
The National W. C. T. U. conven
tion, held In Seattle, October 9-14, re
ported for 1915 a gain In membership
of 35,771. The net gain over and
above all losses was 29,711. "When
we remember," said Mrs. Frances P.
Parks, the corresponding secretary,
"that great battles have been won by
a re-enforcement of two or three hun
dred and that Thermopylae was held
by one man, we realize the significance
of a great membership gain, and that
In a year of marked financial depression."
REVENUE COULD BE SPARED.
The retail . liquor dealers In New
York will pay Into the state treasury
this year twenty-two and a half mil
lion dollars. Nobody doubts that tho
state could spare this sum or a greater
one for an equivalent of sobriety and
moral strength. New York Evening
