CHICKENS RIDE SHEEP
TO KEEP FEET WARM

Princeton. Ind, Jan. 20.-Robert
Melton, farmer living near here,
reports that during the cold wealth
er the chickens in his barnyard
have made a practice of riding
around on the backs of his sheep,
their feet clutched in the wool and
their bodies cuddled down close, to
keep warm. The chickens would
hop down from the sheep only to
pick up something to eat.
Mr.. Melton feeds his cattle in
two sheds, and he says the chick
ems, following their practice on the
sheep, have now taken to perching
themselves on the backs of the cows
and riding from one feed stable to
another to pick up the grain scatter
ed about, thus getting through the
deep snow. He says sometimes two
or three chickens will be seen com
placently riding along on the back
of one COW.

short HEMP Crop.

The hemp crop is being marketed
and is commanding from $3.50 to
$500 per hundred. The crop is an
unusually short one. The hemp
crop in this county a few years ago
amounted to upward of three mil
lion pounds, but has dwindled down
until now it reaches not more than
100000 pounds. The farmers who
formerly raised hemp are turning
their attention. TO tobacco. which
they find more remunerative.-

RATHER new REMEDY
FOR THE DRINK EVIL
Embodied in a Bill before Legis-
stature Some Pertinent
Comments.

A Dill mas been introduced in the
Kentucky General Assembly which,
II enacted into law and faithfully
enforced, would settle once for all
the drink evil. The bill penalties
drunkenness with a penalty of from
two to one hundred dollars for each
ofrense.
The State has no just right to pre-
scribe what a man may eat or drink
so long as such personal liberty does
not result in the violation of the
rights of his fellowmen, and here is
where the rights of the State begin.
However unfortunate for the man
himself, it is an inalienable right of
every man to govern himself, so
long as his mode of self-government
does not endanger the life or prop
erty nor disturb the peace of his
neighbor. 1t has never been claim
ed as a proper power or duty of the
State to guard it's members against
the wasting of their fortune or i'm
pairing their health by excuses in
eating or drinking, and the right OF
the State to regulate the use of in
1toxicatiug drinks must be limited
| to that excess which results in dis
order. The proposed statute recog1
nizes the basic principles of COM
mon sense and human nature and
proposes n remedy that is practical,
because it leaves no just argument
to arm opposition to its enforce
ment.
In the absence of a saner and
more practical means of lessening
the drink evil. prohibition is of
some service, but perhaps it has, af-
ter all, been . stumbling-block in
the way of more practical methods
to solve a very serious problem. 1t
has been the habit of students of
affairs to allow a class of perfectly
sincere but impractical enthusiasts
the responsibility for the regulation
of the liquor traffic. That these ex-
cellent people have made little prog
ress toward the end desied is be-
cause they have persisted in treat
ing the problem as a question of
morals rather than a question OF
State.
A large minority-if not indeed a
majority-of men refuse to see i'm
morality in moderate use of spir-
it's, and so long as the question is at
issue chiefly as a matter of morals,
will lend reluctant aid to such lead
ership, but as a question of State,
the suppression of drunkenness
would have the hearty cooperation
of every self-respecting man of the
community.
It should be apparent now to the
blindest enthusiast that prohibitory
laws do not altogether or materially
reduce the consumption of liquors
Wherever men have an appetite for
drink and money to crafty it, a way
has been found to get it. The pun
ishment of the liquor seller, how
ever drastic, has never and can
never make a community sober. The
/ offense against society is not
drinking. but drunkenness, and the
bill recited touches the caustic d.
ectly to the sore. All good men
are agreed that drunkenness is the
the greatest evil of the times. and
here we are offered practical rem
edy that practical men should push
to practical results.

DEVELOPMENTS
AT RANNELLS

RANNELLS, Cal, Dec 1.-THE
west side and central sections
OF the Palo Verde valley are again
peopled and at this time are very
much alive.
The close of the summer vacation
brought back many who had gone
dents have been classed as our
perennial population" because they
last throughout the year. However,
they some way manage every summe
to bloom at the beaches" when
the mercury in the valley climbs
above the century mark, or the river
rises above it's margin.
Land office limitations as to abb
Sence from homestead claims have
be- n the compelling cause for many
:ecent returns to the valley. Trek
king across the dreary stretch of
country that lies between the S. p.
and this land of promise may not be
exactly joy ride, yet it has been
very much in vogue for the past
month. Doubtless it has it's attrac
tions. Anyway it has brought back
many of the three-day settlers who
in April, 1910, posted their notices as
''homesteaders" on Uncle Sans do
main but who have been absent ever
since.
These have come back to stay and
az welcomed by the pioneers OF
that same year who stood their
ground and held it by fighting to
finish the battle for their homes.
That ware fare having been forever
-nded our people are now occupied
t.: the peaceful work of making
homes and reclaiming their lands.
The sound of the axe, the saw and
the hammer tell of new homes that
aIc being built among the mesquite
t"ees, from the mesa to the river.
the camp fire with its grOund-flOOr-
bed beside it, the hammock swinging
from two mesquites, and the ''pole-
shack" with arrow weed canopy for
roof are now being displaced with
modern cottages, lighthouses and
bungalows. Since very simple
dwelling answers every purpose here
unpretensiOus houses will serve for
the present.
How best to make their lands pro
ductive must now be the serious
study of settlers. Two Weighty prob
lens have to be solved and solved
speedily if the valleys prosperity is
to be attained. Perhaps the two
problems can be reduced to one, viz:
| the local control of river water. The
| Colorado, as some one has said, is
our best friend and perhaps our
worst enemy We must have ''PRO-
TECTION" against uncontrolled
water and at the same time get as
close to ''Free Trade as is practic-
able in the economic use of con
trolled water for irrigation.
