Another potent sign of the times Is
that banks holding brewery stock are
~disposing of it at about anything they
can get, ~preferring to let it go rather
than run the risk of not getting any
thing. Another story is the report
from Cincinnati that vets are ready
to bet ten to one that Ohio will vote
dry.

The intense interest on the part Of
tie people to defeat the home-rule
amendment and ratify the Prohibition
amendment is evidenced by the de-
mand for dry literature. The big pub
fishing house of the Anti-Saloon
league at Westerville Is in operation
day and night and tons of posters,
leaflets and circulars are being turned
out. The Ohio edition of the Ameri-
can Issue, the Prohibition organ, is
now being published twice a week and
has reached the phenomenal circu-
lation of 225, 900 copies. Tens of thou
gands of pennants, with the words,
"Ohio Is going dry" on them, are be-
ing distributed, while bushels Of dry
buttons are being shipped out over
the state.

A spectacular feature of the dry
campaign is the automobile tours,
which are becoming exceedingly pop
ular. A number have already been
held and others are being arranged.
Some 80 or so machines will start
from a central point and divide into
a dozen parties. The schedule will be
arranged and meetings advertised.
Each party will carry music, speak
ers and plenty of literature. In Mus
kingum county 40 meetings were held
in one day and $4,000 people heard
the addresses.
In Belmont county go automobiles
formed a party and visited Cadiz, in
Harrison county. Meetings were held
along the way and there was a rous-
ing demonstration at Cadiz, and also
a big dinner for the entire party. It
was a social function as well as a
campaign tour. Paulding, Hancock,
Williams, Fulton and a number of
other counties are planning similar
tours.

Some of the best known Democrats
of Ohio are on the stump for the
Prohibition amendment. John J..
Lentz, ex-congressman and recently
candidate for United States senator,
Is drawing large crowds in his elo-
quent and convincing arguments for
Prohibition and against the brewers
home-rule amendment. Mr.. Lentz de-
clares that it is his conviction that
Prohibition is the only solution of the
liquor problem and that the urs Of
the brewers and liquor dealers in
their methods Of business and their
interference in politics confirms that
conviction.
There was considerable surprise
throughout the state when the Hon.
c. B. Winters of Sandusky took the
platform for statewide Prohibition.
For years Mr.. Winters was a Demo
cratic leader in the legislature and
was considered to be friendly to the
liquor side of the controversy. But
Mr.. Winters has watched the opera
ton of the license law in Sandusky
and elsewhere and is convinced it is
a failure, and that Prohibition is the
only remedy. Two of the leading
Democrats campaigning for Prohibi-
ton are ex-Mayor Rice of Canton and
former Senator e. j. Hurst Of New
Philadelphia.

Whether subsoilling will increase

subsoiled land very deeply, not ex-

the spring just as though she saw
some one passing. Then she called
to me and said: '%Glorywild, run to the
spring, honey, and bring a little fresh
water" I hurried along the little
erooked path that led through the
dogwoods and the vines giving full
freedom to the flood of hot tears that
had suppressed. When 1 reached
the spring he was sitting there on the
old wash bench alone. He raised his
head from his hands and looked at me
with such a sad, disappointed look

thing to him. I couldn't think of any
thing else, so I said: THERE IS A

a moment he looked straight into my
eyes, his own growing larger, brighter.
more hopeful-and prettier. Raising
his strong, strong arm, he let his large
brown hand fall heavily upon my slen-
der shoulder and said: GOD BLESS
