OfficiaV Paper of Brown County.

Reform advocates frequently unWltt-
ing[y make statements which 90 not
fit in we'll with utterances made upon
other occasions. Worthington is dry
town and has at recurring elections
voted ITSELF dry by larger and larger
maiorities, thus conveying the impress
sion to the, outside world that conditions
are yery desirable and much better
shan they were under the old regime.
A person. might almost be led to the
belief that the drink evil had been sue
sessfully eliminated and that booze
sou}d be. obtained nowhere. Now comes
Paul: E. Dehnel of the Worthington
Progressive who has favored the County

stopped in Worthington, in defiance
Of law and decency. 1t does not seem
oossible that this traffic can be contln-
4ed if all locally constituted authority
would do it's sworn duty.
Paul is evidently still laboring under
She hallucination that by means OF legls-
ation criminals can be converted into
angels. Laws prohibiting the sale OF
hauor do not kill off the desire for the
stuff, and as long as the desire is there,
Eays and means will be found to satisfy
she craving.

The countries Of beer and light wines are
not countries where drunkenness pre-
walls. This country could follow the
example of Europe to advantage. What
they do to stop drunkenness and pro-

example of what we should do in normal

be fought by favoring beer drinking and
discouraging the use Of hard liquor, for
it is a matter of history here that the
growth of the beer industry has been

"Entomologists making careful es-
Inmates are satisfied that insects cause
an annual loss of $7OO,OOO,0OO to the
agricultural interests of the United

vastly greater. A single tree sparrow,
for instance, has been found to consume
one-fourth of an ounce. of weed seed in
a day. The presence of certain birds
in a corn or wheat field or orchard is
by no means proof-as is often assumed

BEER VERS USBOOZE.

Russia, Germany, England, France, at
var, have put a ban upon spirituous
fiauors No booze for the soldier at
tina font, or for the worker at home.
But there is to be no ban on malt liquors
generally speaking, beer. This is
wise It points the way for this country
nationally to reduce the evil of drinking.
1t is along the sane line of permitting
the use and preventing the abuse of
liquor. Essentially it is extremely diff
cult to- use beer to an excess morally or
prudentially reprehensible. Beer doesn't
unfit men for work doesn't destroy their
efficiency, doesn't craze them. Practi-
eally, beer drinking is synonymous with
temperance, relatively to the drinking
af spirits. Beer has sustenance in it's

expectedIy reopened her contest OF the
will of the late John NJ. Keith, a
wealthy oil man of San Francisco to-

Thomson OF Los Angeles was the miss
ing daughter of Keith, and the heiresS
to his fortune.
The alleged heiress, he said, came to
San Francisco on the same train with
himself, and was at present in TINS
city. He said he first met Keith in
North Platte, Nebraska, where the lat
ter was conducting a restaurant, and
that he knew his wife and child.
Later it was stated by DR.. Tedford's
attorney that Mrs. Thomson would APP
pear in court tomorrow to be identified
by several of ner purported fathers

DIR. Tedford's first appearance in the
case was when early in September she
