We enjoyed a pleasant visit
last week from Frank Carlson, a
former resident of this place and
Canada township, who was here
visiting relatives and old friends.
He is now a citizen of Meade,
Kansas, where he teaches school.
Frank left here fourteen years
ago, going to Colorado for his
wife's health, finally drifting back
to Meade county where he
bought land and tried farming
for awhile, giving that up for his
old vocation-school teaching,
and is now candidate for county
superintendent of Meade county
subject to the repu blican primar-
les. Frank is thoroughly COM
petent in every way for that
position, is qualified, upright in
character, of strictest integrity,
and loyal republican. He was
one of our active party workers
when he lived here, being a
member of the county central
committee, and could be depend
ed on at all times. His Labette
county friends hope he will be
successful in landing the nomi-
nation and be elected. The

No Use For Whiskey

Tom Sharkey stood out in
front of his New York cafe a
couple of nights ago and watch
ed two thinly-clad youngsters
running down the street.
"That's the thing that's knock
ing out the liquor business"
said Tom. The whole country
is getting the athletic bug. Ev-
erybody wants to be au athlete.
Everybody's crazy over these
Olympic games. A fellow can't
be fighter or an athlete and
drink at the same time.
Lots of cafes are going out of
business. Inotice in my place
that there isn't nearly as much
whiskey sold as there was, year
ago. People who drink make it
beer. l read in some of the pa
pers that people buy beer be-
cause it's cheap and they can't
afford to buy whiskey or wines.
That isn't it at all. If a fellow
wants whiskey he's going to buy
it, and if he wants some kind of
wine he isn't going to buy beer.
THE thing that does the most
damage to the liquor trade is
schoolboy athletics. Now a
schoolboy is brought up to be an
athlete. He has training ideas
hammered into him everyday.
He's taught that he can't be an
athlete and drink and smoke.
And he doesn't do it when he
grows up either. The college
boys used to come in mob after
the big football games and lick
up every thing in sight. They
don't do it any more because the
colleges are full of this athletic
idea and the college boys have
no use for a guy that drinks
whiskey and gets out of shape.
"Schoolboy athletics are cost
ing me money every day. But
don't mistake me. The idea is
dead right, and I'm for it. I've
been called 'tightwad,' but 1
don't want to make money at
the expense of the boys. I'd
rather see every kid in New
York an athlete and cutting out
booze and cigarettes. l hate to
see boy start in to drink. If
man wants to, drink something
now and then when he's out for
good time, l think it, all right,
but I'm for this schoolboy athle-
tic business. It's going to make
this the healthiest nation on
earth.
