THE MOON AND THE
POTATO CROP,

The moon has nothing to do with
the growth of potatoes. This state
ment sounds about as self-evident as
a commencement grafton, yet, accord
ing to recent investigation by the
Department OF Agriculture, seventy
hve per cent of our farmers have been
planting potatoes and other crops &C.
cording to the almanac. 1t is a very
general belief that potatoes planted in
the dark of the moon produce the best
crop. while the full moon variety are
likely to run to tops"
1t seems bit absurd to suppose
that a respectable old moon like ours
could find nothing better to do than
to stay up nights running the potato
crop So Uncle Sam, who has an un-
quenchable curiosity in such matters,
began poking into the moon myth and
discovered that it deserved respect
only because of its age. His Agricul-
tural Department workers found that
they could raise just as poor potatoes
in the dark of the moon as in the
light.

have been blasted by the licensed sa-
loon. If there be some voters in whose
hearts such ennobling human attributes
are dead, God pity them.
Happy and thrifty homes make a
healthy and prosperous city, and having
the best interests of Ladysmith at
heart, we are concerned for the home
where the queen of the American house
hold presides, and where perchance the
long hayward son may yet be brought
into closer relation to it and its refining
spirit We have concern for the father
who would take new hold on life and
is struggling to walk uprightly before
men and to drive away the stigmatizing
cloud that hangs over his home. We
have concern for the homes where the
pleadings of wives, of mothers and OF
children have fallen in vain on deaf ears
and swimming brains. We have con-
Germ for the children, whose right to an
honored name and a creditable standing
in the community, has been bartered
away over the bar of saloon, where
nothing was ever given in exchange
that would add to the intellectually of
the home; nothing to its physical de-
velopment; nothing to its morality; no
thing to it's educational tone; nothing
to its standing among neighbors; no
thing to its worth to the community;
nothing alb solutely nothing blast
ed hopes, tear-stained eyes, want, pen
ury, rags and many times crime. We
are concerned for the home where the
father has blinded his eyes to the fact
that the snare he is setting for other
mems boys, may ensnare his own. We
are interested in the man who processes
a spirit of fraternalism, but who would
ieopardize the standing of weak
brother and the brothers family, by
placing 'ttempter' at his door. We
are interested in the man so bent on
the accumulation of this worlds goods
that he would sacrifice all ethics of
friendly preservation of the weak
against the strong and who, when life's
battle is over, will go down to his grave
with his life's work unpraised and UNI
sung. We have interest in all these
things, and, pray, why should our con-
science be so scared that we would
want to take no cognizance of them.

Many of the arguments advanced by
the supporters of saloons sound well,
but they don't stand the light of exam
nation. Chief reliance is placed upon
the argument that the city cannot af-
ford to lose the license money, that the
loss of $4, 500 per year drawn from the
saloons would be calamity. Now, it
is apparent to any ordinary observer
that the money received from the sa-
looms for licenses is paid by the public
just as much as taxes are. The only
difference is that it is collected by the
saloon keepers instead of by the city
treasurer, and incidentally the collec-
ton is much more expensive. The city
gets S4, 500 in license money, and that
amount of revenue costs about $50, 900.
In other words, the collection of this
tax of 81, 500 costs $55, 500. Isn't this
pretty expensive method of collecting
taxes.

If you had horse you couldn't man
age, and your hired man either couldn' t
or wouldn't manage it, would you keep
that horse simply because you could
get two or three days work out of him
during the year? If saloons are not
run properly, and persist in selling
liquor to minors and to drunken men in
violation of the law, and if your hired
men, the city officials, either cannot or
will not prevent such lawlessness, will
you retain the saloons simply because
you get in license money small frac-
ton of what the saloon business costs
the city?

SAYS COMETS TAIL WILL NOT HURT US

Even if the tail of Halley's comet
should wrap itself completely around
the earth during the next few weeks,
none of the dire results predicted seems
at all plausible, according to Professor
George C. Comstock, director of the
Washburn Observatory at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin.
1.-THE gases which form part of the
so-called tail are too attenuated to af-
feet the atmosphere of the earth in any
way, and will probably not be perceived
at ALL" says Prof. Comstock. s'The
particles composing the tail are probab-
ly too small to furnish visible meteors.
1t now seems improbable that there
will be any method whatever of know
ing that the earth is actually passing
through the tail, save by computing
afterwards that it must have done so. )"

OUR BROTHERS
KEEPER.

While it is of the utmost Importance
that aldermen be elected in Ladysmitb
this spring who will give US a more
economical administrator who will OPP
pose graft and vice-it is also appa rem
that this year is the most opportune
time that has yet been presented for
the city to purge itself of an evil which
has been the means of giving it name
lin a moral way-unenviable among
the young cities of Northern Wisconsin.
The coming year promises to be one
of unusual activity in all lines of trade,
and judging from the experience of
other cities that have tried it, the clos
ing of the saloons cannot help but aug
ment our prosperity. There is already
a demand for more business houses-the
closing of nine saloons will not long
leave any vacant buildings. The sur
rounding territory is dry, and Lady
smith can help to make the whole coun-
ty dry county option or no county OPP
ton.
But, failing to consider any dollars
and cents" argument, every man when
he comes to cast his vote on such a
moral question should listen to the
promptings of his finer sensibilities
the instincts which distinguish man from
the brute creation not utterly dis
regard at this time the pleadings and
prayers of anxious wives and mothers
of Ladysmith, some of whose hopes

We are told that if the city becomes
dry, trade will go to adjoining towns
that are wet Picture in your minds
eve the farmers of the vicinity taking
their poverty wood, butter, eggs, etc.,
to Tony or Bruce, supposing they
should be wet, which is itself question
able. Picture the laboring man, after
his days work, walking up to Tony to
buy his supplies. Intelligent people
sell where they find the best market,
and buy where they can buy cheapest
and most conveniently, and the average
man is intelligent.
