Be that as 1t may, the geographical
position of man largely determines his
food and drink. Our early pioneers
in America had to eat bear. deer
goose, turkey and possum. That they
were omnivorous is seen in the fact
that they added corn and fruits and
vegetables.
In his great work, ''The History OF
Beverages, Ancient and Modern
Prof. Edward r. Emerson throws
great light upon the use of wines
WHISTLES. ales, beers. etc. in all ages
The truth he sets forth will not be
concealed by any honest man. The
Intellectually honest man will say:
I want to know" and the intellec
tually honest man, having proved
some truth, will say also: Il will no,
put my light under bushel, though
the heavens fall by its effulgence."
Prof. Emerson has shown that mar
in every race, in every cline, and ir
every age has made fermented anG
distilled drinks from almost anythins
and everything that grows. Hemp
juice OF trees and the honey Of bees
have yielded up their intoxicating es
sentials. He has shown that in som.
countries the land is so flat the water
SO purtrid. the air SO malarial, tina
the making OF liquor from the Juice,
OF trees and plants and the drinkin,
OF them is unavoidable.

SCHOOL CLOSES

Schools are closing and the hlgn res
tival OF colleges-the commencement
IL being celebrated with baccalaureate
sermons and class days all over the
country The time has come to let
those who are bent on training the
younger generation to indulge them
selves in advice which is sure to be
UNDECIDED.
Nevertheless Golfers Weekly gives
some editorial comment this week on
the subject Of the college graduate
business which does not 60 far astray
and which might be read to advantage
by the parents of the graduate If the
graduate is too busy with other
things.
It might be called an editorial on
Pull.
I'VE confess to an initial prejudice
against the young graduate who turns
up at your office with sixteen letters
Of introduction from college profess
sors, old school friends and distant
connections Of your wife's family
And a little farther on: IF college
has given a man something OF value to
the world, he should carry it to the
place where 1t Is least common. More
over II it has equipped him with any
especial capacity for success, it is
good sense to begin where that posses
sion distinguishes him."
1t is not that this sort of advice
does any good. People will still let
the off spring of the human animal
set their hearts and ambitions on far
distant New York and let them be
overjoyed to get an office boys jolt
when they arrive loaded down with
credentials enough to satisfy a foreign
potentate. There are few letters OF
Introduction that count without prev
.lous knowledge, in which case the
credentials are rather unnecessary.
But We would add in regard to the
second proposition of Golfers that i,
is harder for the college fellow tc
make good in his own town. It is al
most invariably true in most places
that the returned recipient OF sheep
skin stamped with the great seal oil
the college invites suspicion on the
part Of his fellow townsmen. Tha,
being the case the average one hides
himself in hole and wonders why
the town doesn't come across. There
should be more college boys who
view this situation as q game-a game
IN which 1t should be a matter Of
pride to score on the place Of nativit,
By creating q ripple Of surprise thai
there is some reason for existence II
the college product after ell.
Finally We wish more q the east
.rn graduates would go to small
towns in the west"
So says Golfers.
It would be interesting to watch sta
.istics and results Of such migration
How many OF them would make !
