Gen. Lincoln C.

Increased popularity will result, he holds, when It Is proved that "we can protect the legitimate business from Illegitimate competition." •«? The dry war will be carried on principally against smuggling and diversion of industrial alcohol and the •food of high-powered beer." The territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac rivers will be the main battleground, although th«L regular prohibition staff will be maintained throughout the country. The additional forces of 908 men necessary to carry out this program also go Into action this week, when the appropriation of $2,900,000 carried In the deficiency bill, is expected to become available.

Other additions to the prohibition army will Include 235 new men for border patrol, 318 new inspectors, 28 new smuggling Investigators, 51 "under cover" men, and 02 men for au assessment squad. A large unit of the new border patrol staff will be stationed at Detroit, where 87 will be added to the staff of three.

Probably many are tired of hearing it preached that saving is the surest road to financial independence, but from a community standpoint, the wisdom of this advice cannot be urged too strongly. Unless the idea of properly investing time and money is accepted, progress will be curtailed. A bank account, systematically maintained, will prove to be a bridge, over obstacles which now block the way to home ownership or the realization or some other aim in life. We can live in comfort* spend wisely and save at the same time on a modest income. The important thing in saving is the regularity with which we lay aside a certain amount at stated intervals. Men and women who follow this practice are a decided asset to McHenry.

Then I grease the wagon and put on the racks, throw jug of water on the old grain sack, hitch up the mules, slip down the lane, must get the hay in, it looks like rain. Look over yonder, sure as I'm born, cows on the rampage, hogs in the corn. Back with the mules, then for recompense Maggie gets astraddle the barb-wire fence. Joints all aching, muscles in a jerk. Whoop! fit as a fiddle for a full day's work. Work all the summer till winter is nigb, then figure at the bank and heave a big sigh. Worked all the year, didn't make a thing, less cash now than I had last spring. Some folks say there ain't no hell. Shucks! They never farmed, how can they tell ? When spring rolls 'round, I take another chance as fuzz grows longer on my old gray pants. Give my galluses a hitch, belt another jerk, by goBh! I am ready for a full year's work. * Bucharest.--Thousands of houses were reported to have? been demolished by floods In Galats and Klausenburg.
