This department has been graciously offered by the Observer to the tem perance forces of Urioi county. Back of the column are the officers and rep resentatives of the W. C. T. U., of the prohibition party, of the Amendment committee and any and all other in dividuals or organizations willing in this way to further the causa of pro hibition, and tho realizatioi of tht state slogan "Oregon Dry 1914." Through this means an endeavor will be made to keep the public in formed as to the progress of the cam paign now centered on the November election at which time it is hoped to not only pass the state amendment tut to fill all county and state off ieca with capable law enforcing men. Ih addition, arguments opinions, and statistics to the point at issue will be inserted providing food for thought and material for workers. "' YOUNG PEOPLE AT WORK. Young People of La Grande Churches Organized and Active, "Oregon Dry 1914" with this slogan uppermost in their minds and with the intent to do things, a large number of young people from the various churches of the city met Mon day night in the Christian church for the regular meeting of .the Young People Campaign club. Reports from committees, including publicity and correspondence committees, showing that some splendid work is being done, were read and discussed. Bitter criticism and general amuse ment were created by the reading of an article from the Oregonian de nouncing state-wide and national pro hibition, declaring it "Un-American." The young people severely denounced the article and enthusiastically de clared that anything except state-wide and national prohibition would be "Un-American." Reports from Kansas, North Car olina, Oklahoma and other dry states were read. These reports were all gratifying, giving evidence of the general prosperity of these dry states, j Some made mention of cities where I jails were unoccupied and even where ; they had no jails at all. They also gave figures showing increased at-1 tendance at schools and churches, and asserted that "State-wide prohibition j does prohibit." Nearly all of these reports were verified by persons who : had actually resided, or been in those 1 stntes. I The club further laid plans .for a ' greater work and then after a very busy session of nearly two hours nd journed. Up to the Women. If the good women of Oregon will make use of the ballot next Nftvem- l-er there is little doubt but that the pronibition amendment will carry tha state. The men thruought the state seemed to have turned in favor of a saloonless Oregon, and if the women will do there share "Oregon Dry 1914" will be realized. If the tem perance women do not vote, the re sults may be different. A Needed Experiment. "My dear girl," exclaimed the el derly lady, "do you know that the man you are intending to marry drinks heavily and gambles?' "Yes, I know: I'm going to marry him to reform him." "Listen to me, my child. Try one experiment before you do that." "What experiment?" "Take in washing for at week, and See how you like it. ' SAVE A LITTLE. A Bank Account I Batter Than Show That Keeps On Broke. It is quite possible that the Ameri can family is too optimistic. It Is al ways going to have u larger income next year or In Ave years. It desires to keep up lu social matters with the people next door or farther up the street, it buys pianos ur motorcars or encyclopedias on monthly payments, but In most cases put no monthly in- stallmeut in the savings bank. It has uo margin of security. How much better it Is to have a mar gin of resources tliuu to be living con tinually on the rugged edge of nothing 8 many of us do Just because we are such devotees of the god of appear ances. While the high cost of living is one of the live topics of the day. a note of warning should lie sounded n warning against extravagance, a suggestion Hint every fiiuiily make a deposit in the savings bunk each month. The fu ture hupplncs,) n ml prosperity of tho average American family depend upon the proper adjustment of Income and expenditure. It Is not what a man earns, hut wbnt In mid his family save. Hint counts in determining the ultimate success or failure of his life from a material standpoint T. D.

That le the Method Nature Provided For Their Development. "Ami the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof " Thus spoke Zccburlah In oS) B. C. Itut there were fewer motorcars In .echariah's day tbno there are In ours. Tbe children now need Tor their play some plu,-e safer than the street. More important than the playground, however. Is the play. It Is well that children should play In a safe place, but It Is absolutely necessary that they should play somewhere If th are to grow up at all. for there it 36 doubt now. 1 think. In the minds of educa tors tbit play builds the child. 'It Is tilt, method that nature has provided for his development. I'lay. indeed. Is the positive side of the whole phe nomenon of Inl.incy. The reason the higher animals and ninn. above nil-are born so helpless and Unformed Is flint they may be flnisli.Ml by this special method. It Is for the sake of piny that infancy ex ists: that there Is such a thing as u child lit all. .The child who Is depriv ed of his chance to piny Is deprived of his opportunity to grow up. Crafts man. Cats and Man. No subject that Dr. Weir Mitchell studied, either scientific- or social. Is more ettriotis than the one ho describ ed In a little known paper entitled "Of Alliirophobln.and the Tower to Be Conscious of the Cat as Near. When Unseen and Unheard." In this pa per Dr. .Mitchell declares that then are persons who have been able to dls- 1 tlngulsli the presence of a cat by its smell, but cannot any longer do so and yet who retain nblllty to detect unseen cat "It is likely," he says, "that the cat emanations may affect the nervous system through the nasal membrane, although unrecognized ns odors. Why these emu nations should. If plainly perceived as due to cats, cause cer tain symptoms in those who dread call 1s readily understood. "Tbe ultimate cause of mirensocnblu terror of cats I cannot explain." Ccu tury. Long Winded.
