PROHIBITION IN THE sos.

Several years ago Iowa elected
governor on the premise that the pro-
hibitory law was too stringent. he
didn't believe in the law and the result
iuf his work was complete nullihca-
ton of its provisions. Theoretically, the
governor of the state should have been
insistent on the observance of the law
whether he believed in it's principles or
not, 1t didn't work OFT that way in the
case of Horace Boies and it never does
IL the case Of ANYBODY else who is IN
a position to eercise any discretion
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The Nonpareils statement Of the
case imputes to Governor Boies more
responsibility for non-enforcement
during his administration than was
Justly due him. Governor Boies' cleo
/ ton was not part of a plan to secure
| non -enforcenlnt of the prohibitorp law.
His election represented popular de-
mand for the repeal of the law or it's
amendment to do away with the state
wide feature. 1t is OF record that nom
enforcement had become the rule In
many communities before the demo-
Gratis succeeded in electing their gov
ernor on the liquor issue. The prohib-
{ itory regulations were not merely
| evaded in those days. They were OPEN
lily ignored in practically all the larger
towns OF the state.
! It is unfair now to charge either the
governors or the attorney generals OF
those days with responsibility for the
widespread violation of law. Neither
the governor nor the attorney general
had any weapons with which to compel
law observance in communities where
majority sentiment favored it's def
ance. At every session the legislature
was asked to provide state constabu-
larry or other means by which the law
| could be enforced under state auspices.
The legislature persistently refused.
The situation when Governor Boies was
elected was this: The law was not be-
ing enforced and the republican party.
which was in charge Of the state Of
fees and the legislature, would neither
supply the machinery with which ii
could be enforced nor repeal or amend
lit. In disgust with such an illogical
situation the public turned to the dem
ocratic party for relief. The democrats
did not capture the legislature when
they won the governorship, but the
republicans accepted the logic OF
Boies' second election and adopted the

A. e. Kuolt said that if any national
bank in Wisconsin attempted to eXer-
else authority supposed to be confer
red on it by the federal reserve act to
serve as trustee, administrator, eXecu.
tor or registrar of stocks and bonds,
he would ask the attorney general to
bring suit against it to restrain it from
so acting, on the ground that the pro-
vision of the federal reserve statute
covering the subject was unconstitu.
tiOnal.
The commissioner said that he had
conferred with the attorney general or
the matter, and the latter had indicat
ed his readiness to bring suit.
The federal reserve board has
authorized six Wisconsin national
banks to act as trustees, administra.
tors, executors and registrars of stocks
and bonds. These banks are the First
National of Monroe, City National of
Oshkosh, Old National of Appleton and
National Manufacturers of Neenah.
Under the laws of Wisconsin the
only corporation authorized to act as
trustees, administrators, executors
and registrars of stocks and bonds are
trust companies, of which there are
fourteen in the state.
The attorney general of Wisconsin
on May 1, last, advised the state bank
commissioner that the action Of the
federal reserve board in comforting on
certain national banks permission to
assume the functions of trustees, ex-
ecutors and administrators does not
confer any state authority on these
banks.

Eight Hundred and Eight Gases Re.

Madison.-Eight hundred and eight
cases of measles were reported to the

four cases were recorded The abnor-
NAL increase indicates to what extent
the disease is spreading in Wisconsin
communities at present.

are in Milwaukee and about two hun

ago 1852 cases were reported in the
state.
"Practically without exception says
the board, "the disease this year is of
the mild type and consequently the
mortality will not be high. However,
we must not lose sight of the fact that
this disease paves the way for many

VALUE OF MANURE SPREADEF
Saving of Labor Is Only One of Many
Advantages Offered by the Use
of the Implement.

Most farmers believe that the great
est value to be derived from a ma
nure spreader is in the saving of labor
AS matter of fact, this is only one
of the advantages offered by the use
of such an implement.
Another advantage which is even
more important in many ways, is the
fact that manure scattered evenly and
rather thinly over wide area will
give very much more return per ton
than where scattered irregularly and
on the thinner places, as is usually
done when distributed from wagon.
This increased return is due to the
fact that there is less loss in fermenta-
ton when put on thinly, and also to
the fact that a considerable share Of
the value of manure comes from the
addition of beneficial bacteria to the
soil, SO that when this takes place
over a wide area it is much more bene-
fetal than when limited to a small
area.

NEW YEARS DAY IN OLD
WALES

New Years day in old Wales was
not marked with such celebrations as
were some of the other days during
the Christmas season, but there were
two customs observed which are
rather interesting. The first was the
visit of the male members of the
house to the homes of their neigh
bors on New Years morning. II was
considered unlucky for a female to
enter the house first on New Years
day, but should this happen by acct
dent, it was supposed to be sign OF
death in the family during the COM
ing year. So firmly rooted is this
old superstition in the minds Of the
peasantry that some of the old folk
will engage men or boys to visit their
home on the early morning of New
Years day. l was thus hired when
a boy on more than one occasion, and
took great delight in entering certain
homes as the first male visitor on
that day, for which l received few
pence.
The second custom was the visit of
the waits" on New Years morning
with the New Years Water" The
waits" were supposed to be an es.
tablished institution of professional
musicians wearing arms, but now the
name is used to designate companies
of people who go around caroling dur
ing the Christmas season. On New
Years morning these waits would
Journey throughout the community.
Arriving at the door of a home, they
would sing the following verse:
Get up on New Years morning,
The cocks are all a-crowing,
And if you think it is too soon,
Get UP and look at the stars and moon.
After this they would knock loudly
and repeat slowly the following lines:
The roads are very dirty.
Our boots are very thin,
We wish you all Happy Esw Year."
And please 10 turn US in.
When the door was opened g. mem
Der of the party who was styled the
Sprinkler" carrying in his hand cup
of clear water and a bunch of the
box tree, would sprinkle the members
of the household with the New Years
water, repeating while doing so the
following lines:
Here we bring you water from the we'll
so clear,
For to worship God with US this Happy
New Year.

GOOD PLAN FOR INBREEDINc
Animals Used for Purpose Should Be
as Near Perfect as Is Possible
Watch Hogs Closely.

(By DIR. r. H WILLIAMS, Animal Hus,
bandman, Arizona Experiment Station)
1t makes difference in inbreeding
whether one is handling purebred OF
grade stock. By inbreeding we mean
the breeding together of animals of 9
common blood. l would advise you tC
use animals for inbreeding that are as
nearly perfect as possible. Theoreti
cally, if you have perfect animals, the
only logical thing to do is to inbred
because it is simply impossible to Sc
cure evil results from incest with such
animals.
Perfect animals are a rarity. Ordi
narily it is wise to inbred the off
spring on the sire where the sire is
a good registered animal and the dam
an ordinary scrub. Care should be
exercised, however, not to follow this
more than once, as inbreeding is two
edged sword which must be handled
with the greatest care. The sire may
be bred to a second generation of his
get with good results, but this is moi
recommended.
1t would not be as much inbreeding
to use a sire on his granddaughter OF
brother and sister as to use sire or
his daughter, but breeders have used
both methods with good and evil re
suits.
Hogs will stand inbreeding less thar
any other kind of farm animal, and or
this account must be watched closely
