Remember, you stand a good
chance of winning a SIS prize.
The Times offers a prize of IS
for the best wet" letter, and a
prize of IS for the beset DRY
letter that comes to the wet and
Dry" editor during the month of
June.
Letters must be $50 words or
less in length. They must be
written plainly and only on one
side of the paper.
What do you know about the
liquor problem?
Have you a satisfactory an
swer. Try your skill at letter
writing. You may win that SIS.
Here are a few letters reeeiv-
ed today:
"Wet and Dry" Editor:
There is not a man or woman
in the state of Washington who
wants a drunken son, or who
wants their daughter to marry a
drinking man.
There is not an employer but
who prefers that all his help shall
abstain from the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors.
The use of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage unfits men for all
lines of business or profession.
and ruins them for husbands,
fathers and good citizenship.
For these and many other good
reasons in defense of all that we
honor and love, 1 shall vote for
prohibition.
MISREPRESENTATION is the first
law of nature; and all sane peo-
pie believe in self-defense, by
force, IL necessary.
Don't talk to me about the loss
of employment, revenue, etc. Any
thief or robber could claim the
same.
Prohibition makes strong men
and such men find honorable
work. -
Yours for prohibition and pros
perity.

in nine prohibition states the
average annual consumption OF
liquor is 1.35- gallons per capita,
and in fifteen local option states
(part wet and part dry), the con-
sumption averages 4.37 gallons.
But in the twenty-seven saloon
states Oicense territory, much of
it wetl 1928 gallons per capita.
In New York state and Pennsyl-
vania the averages are 80 and as
gallons.
Just in proportion as local OPP
ton has been adopted the de-
crease in consumption follows.
but in saloon territory the i'm
crease has been astounding.
Last year $20O,OOO,00O were
spent on our schools and $2,S00,-
100000 for whisky. In other
words $20O,0O0,00O to build up,
and 2,800,O00,000 to tear down.
Some day we will wake up to
realize that the supreme duty OF
the government is prohibition.

Not a very good for society, that!
And certainly not the best environment for the

Ten Thousand Iowa Graduates Fore
.- cast.

According to the estimate made
by Frank Joseph, deputy superintend-
ent of state instruction, 10000 per-
sons will be graduated from the pub
lie and private high schools in the
state within the next two weeks. This
will be a big increase over last year.
The records show that S,144 persons
graduated in June 1913.
The estimate of graduates is made
upon the enrolment in the schools
which was reported at the beginning
of the school year. There are be-
tween 500 and 900 high schools in
the state. While there were 4,462
graduates from the public high
schools last year, there probably will
be 5000 this year. The private
schools turned out 1862 scholars in
1918. The estimate for 1914 is A.
600.
+ The graduation exercises Of the
Iowa schools began last Friday and
will be strung along until the end of
next week at the rate of about eighty

Bitten by a Dog.

Earl Deao's little son, about ten
years old, was badly bitten by fero-
cious dog last Sunday. The dog be-
longed to VIM. Briner, his grandfath-
err, where they had taken dinner. AZ
ter the meal the little fellow picked
up the broom to sweep out the
crumbs for his grandmother when
the dog made lunge at him, biting
him in the face several times, before
he could be gotten under control. DR..
Mulcahy was called and found the
little fellow was suffering from
wounds almost all over his face, the
skin having been torn from his
cheeks, nose and one eye nearly gone.
1t is not thought that the dog had
rabies, but was not used to children
and perhaps thought the child was
about to strike him. 1t is perhaps
needless to say that the dog was dis
patched to that land where he will
not bother any more children

Ice cream manufacturers outside
of Polk county must conform to the
state standard in making ice cream
for the summer trade, according to
instructions given by w. B. Barney,
state dairy and food commissioner.
Owing to the case now in the SUI
preme court, which originated in
Polk county, testing the constitution
ality of the, state ice cream standard
law, the food inspectors are barred
from any activity under this law in
that county until after a decision is
announced by the court, the depart
ment has ruled. But while Polk
county manufacturers are immune
from prosecution for period, if they
put out ice cream which is below -
per cent in butter fat, this will not
excuse manufacturers in other coun-
ties who put out inferior products,
the state officials say. In instructions
to manufacturers of ice cream Mr..
Barney is asking them to send out
with each packer a request that the
consumer Immediately after empty
ing the can, clean it as a sanitary
measure. He asserts that cream left
in can turns sour and in few
days taints the can SO that it is diff
cult and sometimes impossible for
the manufactures to entirely remove

The new plan of having all autos
park next to the court house curbing
during the Saturday night band con-
certs was tried out for the first time
last Saturday and it worked to per-
lection. There were more autos on
the square than on the previous Sat

the new rule which is much better
arrangement than having the cars
crowd up next to the pavement in
front of the stores.
