HALSEY FAILS ON ALIMONY
Former Falls City Man Sentenced to
Six Months in Jail
Appearing before Judge Galloway at Albany Saturday afternoon on a citation, J. W. Halsey of Falls City was sentenced to six months in jail for failing to pay alimony. Halsey secured a divorce some time ago and in the decree was ordered to pay a certain amount of alimony. According to the charge he has never paid a penny, so the judge had him cited for contempt of court. Halsey will be released any time he agrees to pay the money.

PROHIBITION AND LABOR

"Young Bloods" who are in the habit of visiting hen roosts by moonlight should take the precaution to tie their hats on with a bailing wire so that should it become necessary to beat a hasty retreat you will not leave some incriminating evidence. Better cut it out boys, some of these old fellows are crack shots with squirrel rifles and they may pin the cross of your suspenders to your back.
A DANGEROUS PASTIME
The first question an honorable man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is a respectable girl or not. You see it raises doubt at once. This being the case no modest girl can affort to indulge in this pastime among strangers. When the down is brushed from a peach the beauty is so marred it can never be restored, and so when a girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming a maiden, she loses her greatest charm and becomes rather common and cheap. Flirting may seem to the giddy, thoughtless girl to be wonderfully amusing, and she may even get an idea she is quite fascinating, but it is a degrading pastime and should be frowned upon by every young lady who has an ambition to be a worthy and charming woman.
"THE OLD MAN"
Boys, when you speak of your father, don't call him the "old man." Of course you are older now than when you were taught to call him "father." You are much smarter than you were then, you are much more manly looking, your clothes fit you better, your hat has a modern shape and your hair is combed differently, in short, you are "flyer" than you were then. Your father has a last year's coat, a two year old hat and a vest of still older pattern. He can't write such an elegant note as you can and all that, but don't call him "old man." Call him "Father." For years he has been hustling around to get things together, he has been held to the thorny path of uphill industry, and the brightest half of his life has gone from him forevery. He loves you, though he goes along without saying much about it, therefore be not so ungrateful.
Two-thirds of all petitions coming to Congress at this time deal with one side or the other of the prohibition question, and the dry petitions outnumber the wet seven to one.
Anti-Saloon League.
Will undoubtedly is like your father and all other normal men - he probably will want a mild stimulant occasionally.
Don't start your married life by being prudish. Beer is healthful and refreshing, and he will drink it moderately. For he knows the meaning of True Temperance. Don't tell him he can't drink it - be broadminded and meet him half way. You'll have your ice cream soda frequently and Will will have his beer.
Your father and I soon will have our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. In all these years he has drunk his beer whenever he wanted it. Look at him today - strong, robust, alert, no finer man on earth. Never once have I denied him the privilege of drinking moderately. I know the moderation with which he drinks does him a world of good. In fact, I enjoy seeing him safeguard his health.
It's when you seek to deprive a man of his liberty that he rebels. Let Will drink beer when he wants it, for he's too good a man to go beyond the bounds of moderation. You'll find that a little beer will increase his stock of cheerfulness. Choose the home of mirth and happiness, my dear, rather than the house of trouble and discention.
E. D. Ulrich, Chamber of Commerce, Portland, Oregon.
