We have worked for it We have organized local units from coast to coast and we have enlisted the support of powerful friendly or ganizations. Everywhere we have found the people convinced that Vol steadism is not only unsound, but that it is a positive menace to democratic institutions. They are sick and tired of the hypocrisy of it and they see in the growing power of outlaw organi zations a situation that must be met squarely by rooting the ground from under them. They have grown up on Volsteadism and they will remain un til Volsteadism is replaced by gov ernmental sanity. Victory seems on the horizon and our organization calls upon all of its units and its friends to make known to congress their ap proval of the proposal that a vote be had in this session."

COOK this holiday season let us draw up our chairs before the Fireside of Friendship with those whose happiness is our happiness. Let us in memory of old days and old times talk over the friendships that have made the past so worth-while and that give such courage and promise $q the incoming year. The Ralston Paint Co. ANUARY first was hanging heavily on the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Wilier. They felt that they should do some thing to distinguish It from other holidays or from Sun day, but four o'clock In the afternoon arrived without anything happening to Im press upon them that they had really entered upon a new year. The New England town where they lived lay peacefully under Its blanket of white, and probably most of its forty thousand inhabitants were as peacefully dozing in their chairs, sat isfied with their creature comforts, and thankful that they were not as other people. Mr. Wilier was roused from his quiet doze by the clang of the door bell. "Are the Misses Baker In?" queried a throaty voice, as he opened the door and saw an elderly couple standing on his porch. "The Misses Baker!" he exclaimed. "You mean Miss Bell and Miss Louise?" "Of course," replied the voice. "Why, the Bakers don't live here," Mr. Wilier explained "They live on Caroline street They haven't lived here in over twenty years." "Thank you," was the only re sponse. "My wife and I just thought we'd pay our New Y e a s a o n them" a n y o u i agine that!" shout ed Mr. Wilier to his wife, when he had closed the o o e e w ises calling on the Baker girls here, and we've been In this house our selves for over twenty years! Mr. Lewis didn't even seem surprised when it was I who opened the door." "Well, of all things!" laughed Mrs, Wilier coming down the stairs. "But do you know, John, that gives me an Idea. Suppose we go around the cor ner and call on Mrs. Crump. We haven't been there In a long time, and it might cheer her up." "All right," Mr. Wilier replied. "Mrs. Crump is getting on, and I don't suppose we can wish her many more Happy New Years. She must be over ninety now." "Yes, ninety-three," said Mrs. Wil ier, drawing on her rubbers. "And we haven't dropped In to see her in some time." "How long is it anyway?" asked Mr. Wilier. "I don't know," replied his wife, "but we certainly haven't been there since we are living In this house." So, after twenty years, Mrs. Crump received a New Year's call from her friendly neighbors, the Wlllers. (®, 1621, Western Newspaper UnlOB.)
