Morton C.. Pearson Asks All
Christian Societies to
Aid Option.
1T is A MORAL DUTY.
"sHALL THE BREWERS RULE, OR
SHALL RIGHT RULE" HIS PLEA
COPIES OF LETTER ARE RE-
CEIVED HERE.

A number of the members of the
local Christian Endeavor societies
have received a letter from the Rev.
Morton C.. Pearson, superintendent of
Good Citizenship department, which
is sent out in the belief that the cause
of local option demands that all who
are working to bring about a higher
standard of morality, should take a
hand in the present campaign. This
letter calls all the members of the
organization to rally to the support of
local county option. The letter fol-
lows:
To the Christian Endeavorers of the
State of Indiana:
AS the superintendent of the good
citizenship department of the Chris
ton Endeavor Union of Indiana. l
come to you with the following person
al appeal: For more than a quarter
of a century the Christian Endeavor
movement has been making good citi-
zens. Thousands of the voters in the
coming election have been enrolled in
our membership. The highest concep-
ton of what constitutes a good citizen
has bean formed in the councils Of our
society. We have now reached our
majority and are exercising our rights
and privileges as citizens. The pres
ent time furnishes us a great oppor-
tunity to make ourselves felt for right
eousness throughout the state. The
present campaign is one in which a
moral issue is the great issue.
1t is a campaign in which the people
are asking for the right to rule. They
are asking for the passage of a local
option law with the county as the unit.
By such a law the people may deter
mine whether or not the saloon shall
exist within said county.
The line of battle is clearly drawn
The brewery interests of the state are
determined to defeat the measure,
Shall we let them rule? 7 call upon all
Endeavorers to lay aside party affil
iations in the present campaign and
support for the legislature only those
men who are known openly to identify
themselves with this righteous move
ment.
Should a county local option bill be
presented to the special session of the
legislature, it is our duty to use al
the influence of our union for it's pas
sage. Should county local option be
come the law at the special session
it becomes all the more imperative
that We elect those men to the egu
lar session who will preserve the law
for the people and an executive who
will see to it's enforcement.
This Is a contest in which every
minister and Christian worker SHOULD
be deeply concerned and we do no
by any can forego our rights a:
citizens of this commonwea lth wher
We become ministers and Christian
workers.
In conclusion let me urge you to or
ganize your forces in every society

earnestly for the man who promise.

The story is a very amusing one,
and depicts the adventures of a hustl-
ing salesman. who is sent to a rest
cure sanitarium by his employers.
Adjoining the s%anitarium is a divorce
colony hotel, and it does not take
the energetic salesman long to get the
two establishments mixed up in one
merry tumble. His ever fertile brain
is always searching for a new adver-
Using scheme to exploit his wares,
and some of his ideas are excruciat-
ingly funny. Before he has been at
the sanitarium three days he has all
the inmates Of same, working for him,
and he then turns his attention to the
guests of the hotel. He soon makes
bitter enemies friends and is the
means of re-marrying divorced coup
les. During this time he also has his
little love affair, and the play ends
with his marrying the daughter of a
rival concern of his employers.
The scenes are laid in lower Cali
fornia and afford great scope for the
scenic artist and costumer and Mort
H. Singer has taken full advantage
of the opportunities offered him, and
has given to the public one of the
most gorgeous productions ever pre-
sented.
There is no doubt that Honeymoon
Trail will be the n great attraction
of the season here. and should ac.
cordingly be greeted by a great big
house.

Unlike the beef animal the dairy
cow has been trained for centuries for
the specific purpose of converting the
raw materials into milk. In the best
animals of the dairy type this has re-
suited in producing type of COW
quite distinct from her beefy sister.
Instead of that deep, low set, blocky
form, we have an angular form. with
prominent hook and pin bones, lean
sharp withers, refined head and neck.
Generally speaking, she is said to be
wedges shaped. AS a matter Of fact all
good dairy cows do not possess this
form. Exceptions are found in great
numbers and the fact makes one rather
distrustful of saying that all cows
possessing good dairy form are good
producers or that all beefy types
should be eliminated from the dairy
herd.
In general, the productive capacity
of a dairy COW depends upon three
things; first, the number and activity
of the gland lobules: secondly, the
power to digest and assimilate focl;
and thirdly, the amount Of blood which
flows through the secretory system.
The above factors are inherent to the
COW and may not be changed. Other
factors as the care, feed and manage
ment are directly under the control of
man.
Indications of the numbers Of the
gland lobules are TO be found in the
udder A large, well-balanced udder
extending well forward under the alb
domen and hung well back is indica-
tive that there is at least room for
