If the cause of the regretable indulgence of youth in hip-pocket-flask parties could be traced to its source, it would doubtless be found that at least some of these offending young people have parents who talk lightly of the prohibition law or openly vio- late it in their homes. One often hears it said that pro- hibition makes law breakers, This is far from the truth. Prohibition is merely revealing these who would break the laws of our lands. President Callen, of Mexico, is an aggressive dry, and the Mexican dry« predict that wiithin a few years their country will be as dry as the Mexican desert. Three Mexi- cna states have already bgun prr- parations in that dirction. "The time to make sober citizens is in the cradle,” sagely remarks Corra Harris, the popular author. Thia is one way of saying that those parents who fail to provide for their offspring an environment of sobriety Judge N. A.

Typewriters Governor Miriam Ferguson, of Texas, said in her inaugural address: "If an example can be set for a high er standard of morals and purity of 1 life and conduct in public servant« of the people, I shall feel my ad- ministration has not been in vain, Let us not forget that it is more glorious to lay up treasures in heav- en than on earth.” "Tornado” was one of the best shows of the season, and there wasn’t a bare leg displayed during the entire picture. The movies put out some magnificent productions. And here it’s Friday and the 13th. Slowly, but surely the country at large is coming to learn that the 18th Amendment to our national Constitution is a fixture, and the Volstead Act is a fact to be reck- oned with. One of the most convinc- ing arguments dealing with this question has been the recent decis Geo. Burdick, father of the Ver- ion of the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Schaller nonian Light 6 l Power Co., was in Brewing Company, Cincinnati. Pris town this week. on sentences and heavy fines meted out to three brewers for making and selling real beer. The case was ap pealed to the United States Circuit Court, and then to the Supreme Court, which declined to review the case. This confirmed the judgment of the lower courts, and the three Late Models offenders are paying the penalty.— For sale on The Otterbein Teacher.

RAILROAD TERMINALS HERE Unafflrmed reports reaches us this week that the railroad is contem plating new and extensive work in Verninia to begin immediately, and the work will last probably for a year before completed. This doesn’t hurt a bit. Machine shops, Round House and extra trackage are beneficial to any town and moans several more families added to our population. This Thursday night, in St. Hel ens, the long tables are crowded with the good things to eeat. and surrounded by well-dressed and sin cere Republican ladies and gentle men, each, in turn, having loyal re marks to make in response to their names called by the toastmaster. It is the Annual Lincoln Day Banquet, and the only regret we have over the affair is the fact that it came on press day and it was impossible for us to be among those present. Sev eral from the Nehalem Valley are attending, and we can assure you from past experiences, they are en joying the best evening of the year. Those St. Helens Lincoln followers always take the prize when it comes to entertaininy. easy terms or for rent. Vernonia Representative Wholesale Typewriter Co. G. C. Olsen Beall Electric Building whatever. They simply took tbs money, did the depositor th« favor of taking It. and gave It back to Mui when ho wanted It. And then they considered their full duty done. The tellers and darks treated the depositors ss though they ware entire ly beneath them. L myself, heard «de positor, an old Irishwoman, say to a teller who had been snappish with her: "Then you better keep a civil tengue in your head. It is the likes of me that keeps the likes of y«u in your place." In that brief and caus tic and well-deserved comment she had summed up the «hol« sltuatton in a nutshell. There we* nothing warm, nothin* cordial, but as the year« want by those who worked at the windows get on friendly and kindly relaftieas with the people coming to the wind«««. Here and there some man got so close to the people that they began to toil him their personal affairs and ask ter his advice, and of late years the banks, too, have been stressing th« 'humaa clement. They have struck a better way of approaching people. They have taken steps, for inataae«, to try to get as close as they can to th« foreign element. That is one of the groat problems In all tho large manufacturing and business centers A great mass of foreigners come here and got together in groupo, but they do not get say real touch at Amari canlam. They are just as Jewish and just as Ital'an ton or twenty year* after they come here as they wore tho day they came, because nobody appears to take any particular inter est in them. But when an institution like a savlago bank begins to take an Interest in the problems of the peo ple, to let them feel that here is a group of people engaged In a business that is willing to listen to them, their troubles, their trials, is willing to ad vise them, willing to etoer them straight, willing to be sort of Big Brother to them. I do not think there is any better Americanisation work than that being done. That is the kind of work the pro gressive savings bank la starting on,— telling people that If they will come to them with their troubles they will be glad to give them the beat disin terested advice, to do things for thorn free, that otherwise they would be charged for by somebody. Thoy are willing to advise them when thoy got a little more money than the savings bank can take care of, what they can Invest It in, or In some cases what not to invest it In. If the savings and commercial banks all over the i country adopt that particular attitude I toward our foreign fellow-citizens, it will give them an entirely different view of American ism. It Is thia changed attitude that has resulted in the tremendous growth of deposits that have taken place In the savings banka since tho war. There has been a different spirit breathed into tho relatione between the depositors and the men on tho other side of tho counter.
