INTRODUCTORY.
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

CHILDREN MUST PLAY.
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

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

more restful to some eyes than cold,
