The Des Lac Valley Observer. pub
lished In Ward county, claims Des Lac
township the banner township OF the
{ county, basing Its claim upon the num-
her Of prizes awarded at the recent
Grain Growers. convention held at
Minot. Considering that there were
nearly four hundred exhibits .of grain
and two hundred Of other farm prod
/. ucts, the. Observer has the right to
claim the medal. It says:
Des Laos captured two first prizes
on the most important grains raised
IN Ward county at the farmers instl-
tute held in Minot. Out Of about $50
kinds Of oats. J.. e. Clark took first
prize on his International oats and

follows: c. w. Hall, second for Du-
rum wheat; J.. p. iVarnes, second for
six largest potatoes; Mrs. L. p. Wealth
erwax, first for the largest and best
dressed chicken, and ]. W. Jones, third
prize for the third largest rutabaga,
and Mrs. A. Horton, second prize on
butteri + n
'Des Laos people have good reason
to feel proud Of the showing made by
their exhibits They captured more
prizes than any other town west Of
Minot.
The farmers in attendance derived
great benefit from attending the insti-
tute. The addresses delivered on
various phases OF farming by men of
lifelong experience along certain
lines Of farming we're very practical
and Instructive.
The growth and development Of
Ward county is the wonder Of the
northwest. Six years ago the grass
covered plains out here were unin-
habited, except by few ranchers, and
untitled. Todoy the prairie ID covered
with prosperous and progressive
farmers. They are raising the best
kind Of lgrain and vegetables, blue rib
bon products.

If you want to vote in the next
election you had better be consider
ing the matter of your poll tax.
Here's a useful pointer from the St.
Augustine Record on the subject:
Attention has been called in the
news columns to the fact that the
time for paying the poll taxes viii
expire on October Is. To save all
question as to qualification, everyone
eligible to vote should call on the
Collector and satisfy himself that he
is qualified for the next election.
Those who have not paid their poll
tax should not wait until the last
moment, or they may overlook this
imp ortant matter"

Pensacola and Mobile and the sur
rounding country have been hit hard
and they have the sympathy of the
whole country in the disaster which
has come upon them. The property
damage has been very heavy, but the
loss of life was comparatively small
Both cities will soon recover and the
fact that neither has called for out
side assistance, shows that their peo-
pie feel equal to the emergency and
are not discouraged by the disaster.
1t is bad enough, but it is does not
approximate the horrors of the Gal
weston food in which a large part of
the city was totally wrecked and
nearly 1000 lives lost.

The adoption of the drainage
amendment to the constitution will
take load of responsibility OF the
Legislature, for that august body,
supposed to have something to do
with regulating things in this State,
will have no authority whatever in
the premises, and the board of
drainage commissioners will be in eff
feet an independent government in
the commonwealth of Florida. By
virtue of its organic creation, it will
be responsible to itself alone, and
the Legislature win have no more
authority to check it, or regulate it,
than to amend the constitution ITSELF
That's too much power to put in the
hands Of five men entrusted with the
handling of large sums of money col
lected as taxes from the people and
under no bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of duty. That would be
all right in bureaucratic Russia, but
it looks all wrong in democratic Flor
ida.

The extraordinary growth of the
prohibition sentiment in Florida and
its rapid conquest of the liquor traf-
fic are shown by the following facts
and figures which we find in the last
issue Of the Lakeland News:
'Of the 46 counties of Florida, %
are under entire prohibition of the
beverage sale of intoxicating liquors.
Of the remaining Is counties, 9 have
the liquor traffic eornered in a single
town or city leaving 10 counties
where license is the general policy.
Even in these ten counties prohibition
rules throughout the rural districts
under the State law forbidding the
sale of liquors within four miles of
a school house or church outside in
corporated towns or cities. Of the
total population of the State of 62S-
542. there are 273,O54, more than
one-half, living in counties where
total prohibition reigns. Nine coun-
ties prohibit the sale of liquor in all
but one town, leaving in the State but
149,047 people living in counties
where license is the policy in more
than one town or city"

real sensation the other day when he
instituted criminal libel proceedings
against Alfred ST. Clair Abrams, edi-

statements in the Herald abetted by
the cartoon, rejecting seriously up

have long been current about him in
