Strong drink is the greatest cause of failure. Both directly and indirectly, it is a source of downfall and defeat. It controls its victims through their own potations and it makes them suffer for the bibulous habits oF their , friends. The young man of average intelligence has a certain amount of ambition. He has clearly-defined plans for the future. They may be limited to the pursuit of a mod- ' est calling, or they may reach to positions of wealth or power.-— Whatever they are, he has a chance of winnig if he will make the effort. But success in any direction means work; —hard and persistent work. Such work calls for a healthy body; it calls for, an unclouded brain. One of the chief essentials to health is sobriety. One of the first requisites of clear and vigorous thought is sobriety. No one can accomplish the best results when he is ever so slightly under the influence of strong drink. *. The young man who wants to succeed must let whiskey alone.. If he begins by drinking a little, i occasionally,, or socially, he soon reaches the point where it J>ecomes a necessity. Nothing stand* still in thia world? Twexe is an-inexorable law that compels. progress Op retrogressiohthe drinking foan exemplifies its workings more any ' • ->■ But he is alwaysi _on the losing, side. ; Even when bp is able to ' keep hiai allowance of stimulants inside of > the .limit of visible intoxication, heis bringing himself under the: power of an insidious -poison that will find some point of attack later ofo : Much suffering is attributed to other causes that has its inception ' in the : moderate. use of alcoholic liquor. • ‘"V* 4 1 This ' question of moderate drinking is, misleading in many ways. It deceives its victims with a-promise of added strength and it deludes their friends into following their example. . - m If you have been unfortunate .and have acquired an appetite for, liquor or ihorphine, write Dr. W, V, Daniels, Manager of Jke Ma« ; rion Keeley Institute. ■ Hes wtill tell yoq how easy it is tobe-ouredi . ——— ———o—- —■—■ • ■■■■<>/ . ~ ■ .... ,v ■ -.<» ,• ;■./■■?■■■. .

That the show was a success, .-■ is beyond argument as It far exceeded .the expectations of the officials in charge and demonstrated to them that ... it is the, desire of the citizens that : the .show should cpntiase. The show was the largest that has been held in it the state so far ahd according < to i Judge Hathaway, was one of the" largest show# that .hefoad evqr lh ;■?* the capacity of judge for ais. he hear- .. tijy .congratulated the management upon the manner.in which they handle! the same, especially upon the good odeeling. tbat existed between the cob-' 'testants, as generally some ill-feeling ‘fifops. but in a public show of this de- . pcription, and it was due to' good management that harmony prevailed. The management could not have handled ' 4fiy mote birds and did justice to I the entries;’ni* the hail Was packed to " the utmost. i !l ’' • , I The scoring of all the birds was finished late Past evening and the'rih/j bons were immediately put on the coops by the committee who had this part of the show in charge, and. at noon today many; of the entries, had been crated up arid shipped to foelr'' ’ respective destinations, while vi’l be held over until Monday or un'til their owners call for them, .-?- S;J . The management was busily engaged all day in paying up the ’premiums and settling wittf every person who ,< secured a prize and when everything is closed up, the show will have a nice . margin wqrk on Jiext year.

The committee in charge wifi 1 eep their eyes open for larger and li.nre spacious quarters and the acc mmodations promise; to be much I. Iter. In this respect, however, the management will have to do some tall hurtling as everything was carried •* ’ \ V ?
