MUST ALWAYS GO FORWARD
Economic Progress Is So Ordered That
the Wheels Cannot Be Turned
Backward.

"We still act as if the moral law
were indeed the order solely of divine
commandment which mankind, by it's
anxious effort, must be schoOled un-
willingly to obey. We fear that the
sanctity of the home is threatened by
divorce, by suffrage, by polygamy, by
woman in industry, or by the new
dances; and we crusade oratOrically to
protect it from destruction, although
we must know that if the sanctity of
the home depended on such protection
it would long ago have gone the way
of the sanctity Of the temple OF Ephe-
sus. We are distressed by license in
our books and our theaters, and we or
ganiZe extra censorships and frantic
societies for the suppression of vice.
as if vice and license had not always
fought losing battle against civiliza-
tion, being opposed by the economic
laws that have made our morality
what it is. We seem to know that by
helping to better the economic ccndi-
tions we can better the moral condi-
tions of life, but we forget that we
cannot greatly help by scolding We
hope that we car assist the sanctity of
the home by not retarding the eco
nomic progress that has made possible
the sanctity of the average home, but
we forget that mankind can no more
return to it's ancient immoralities than
it's culture can return to it's ancient
barbarism. From Current Com.

MANS DEBT TO THE BIRDS
Matter That Is Worth a Great Deal
More Consideration Than 1t Has
Been Receiving.

Why should birds fear a human be-
ing? They have no fear of the horse
or COW. There are birds that even
light on the back of COW and de-
YOUR the flies that are troublesome.
If mankind were kind and thoughtful
of the rights of birds what a pleasure
it might be. Every small boy and girl
should be taught to love all birds and
never to disturb or frighten Their
companionship and their songs more
than repay the little fruit or grain
that they eat. And we cannot forget
that but for the aid of the birds we
could not have fruit or grain. The
hop aphis,' the North American tells
us, developing 13 generations in a
year, at the end of the twelfth genera
tion would have multiplied to the in
conceivable number of ten seXtillions
of Individuals Forbush says: IF this
brood were marshaled in a line ten to
the inch, it would extend to a point so
sunk in profundity of space that light
from the head of the procession, trav-
cling at the rate of $4,000 miles per
second, would require $500 years to
reach the earth Think once what
would be our condition if the birds
should fail to destroy this one kind
of insect And other kinds are in
Vulnerable What love and protection
and care we owe these birds

Victory for Prohibition
Continued from Page u

You can quote me as saying that
think it is an outrage. The boot
leggers had succeeded in building UP
a thriving business. From an infant
industry it had become selfsustainins
and was rapidly becoming one of the
foremost industries in the state.
Just at this time the supreme
court comes along and with one fell
blow puts them out of business. They
were given no warning and were not
given time to dispose of the big
stock on hand. The action of the
court practically amounts to confis-
cation, and you know that is uncon-
stitutional."
County Attorney J. F. Ross said
he thought the dedcision would put
the bootleggers out of business. He
thinks it will aid the officers in cap
turing hose who still operate, as
good citizens will have no excuse
for protecting a bootlegger
There are lots of good citizens in
the country who drink whskey," he
said, 'and who are going to have it
even if they have to buy it from a
bootlegger. Naturally they will not
report him. Now that these men can
buy their own whiskey, they should
aid the officers by reporting and !
believe they will

be found almost anywhere in this
state.
For curative home remedies, prep
parations may be made from it that
are said to be without equal in
many cases, and may be used inter
nally and externally, as it is perfect
ly harmless. An infusion of the
leaves taken internally is said to re-
lieve various kinds of stomachic or
bowel disorder, and for wounds of an
kind it is an excellent sedative,
equally effective for both man and
beast. For collar or saddle gals on
work horses, barbed wire cuts or any
kind of flesh wounds, there is moth
ing that will allay inflamation pre-
vent infection and. hasten the heal
ing process more rapidly than a
daily application of this infusion. AS
the greasewood odor seems to be
very offensive to flies, any wound
covered with this solution will never
be approached by them, or any other
insect for that matter.
The green leaves and stems of the
greasewood contain a resinous sub
stance which burns readily like so
much pine pitch, giving off a very
pungent smoke from which all in
sect life retreats, but which, singu
larly enough, does not irritate the
human eyes nor interfere with res
piration as does the smoke of any
other wood, and one may inhale it
freely without any unpleasant feeling.
If, therefore, mosquitoes or flies are
troublesome nothing will rid the
house of them more quickly than
little of this smoke. Carrying little
or no carbon, the smoke is more in
the nature of vapor, so it does not
blacken the walls of the room nor
soil anything tarnishable.
The dry leaves are reputed to be
"a great non-conductor of heat, equal
almost to feathers, and a mattress
filled with these leaves will not only
be very warm and clean but you may
depend that those insects without
name to ears polite, but highly odor-
ferrous and profoundly carniverous,"
or any other bugs will never seek a
lodging place in or anywhere near it.
The greasewood is indigenous to
the desert only and grows ordinarily
in sun-bakedd, sterile soil, without
al apparent atom of moisture, yet
unlike the mesquite and other desert
shrubbery, it seems to love water
and will show a density of foliage
proportionate to the amount of mois-
ture it is given, provided, of course,
it dOdes not get too much, or more
than it's roots can absorb. Being per-
ennial and never growing to a large
size, it therefore furnishes the mater
ial for the making of an ideal deco
rative hedge fence or a lawn border,
which can easily be done by planting
the bushes close together, passing
strands of wire through the rows to
support the stems and make the
whole compact, giving them water
judiciously and keeping the rows
trimmed in the proper shape.
These are only few of the many
uses to which this wild shrub may
be put, but they are enough to show
that even the despised greasewood
was not created in vain, and the
further fact that it is given to us in
such generous quantities, would seem
to imply to the student of nature
that We have yet much to learn of
it.

FOR MORE STOCK
AND BET Ter STOCK
rhe Marshall County Live Stock
Breeders Assn. Active in Promot-
Interests of Stock Raising.

There will be a special meeting of
the Marshall County Live Stock
Breeders association held at the Com
mercial Club rooms in the city Of
Warren on Saturday, Jan. Goth at
o'clock p.s m.
The movement for better stock is
warmly supported by many farmers,
and the local banks are joining hands
with the farmer to encourage the
good work; they are offering money
in liberal quantity at low rate of
interest to those who may not have
ready cash to invest in pure bred
stock.
There are a few facts worthy OF
consideration in connection with oul
present day farming. With the pres.
.ent demand for grains Of all kinds
the outlook for the future in that
line is good and to break away from
it. abruptly might be folly. But the
outlook for the future in beef ant
dairy stock is equally good. Why
then, not begin right now. to stocl
up and be prepared to get the benefit
Of the good in the future predicted
for stock. One bumper crop ma!
flood the market with grain ant
make that kind of farming unprofit
able, but it takes years to build up ;
good herd Of stock. Begin now AM
begin right. You may feed a pur'
bred about as cheaply as scrub
Why then, cling to the unproftabl
scrub :?
J. Any one who has a desire to ge
better stock are welcome to atten'
the meeting and make his want
known. The association was mad
to benefit you not to draw a revenu
from you. We are ready to serv
you. Come and be with us.

Treat Seed Grain for Smut.

Grain smut causes great deal of
loss to farmers nearly every year.
Smut not only reduces the yield per
acre but also lowers the grade, thus
compelling farmers to accept 10 to
20 cents a bushel less for their crop.
Last year there was more smutty
wheat raised than usual and this in
dicates that farmers are getting
careless about treating their seed
grain for this disease. Treating
seed grain with solution of formal
dehyde will obviate this loss almost
entirely. A pamphlet fully describ-
ing the treatment may be obtained
by those interest from c.. E. Stinch-
field, superintendent of the Atlantic
Elevator Co., this city.

TABOR STORE DESTROYED
BY FIRE ON FRIDAY
A. Palya & Co.'s General Mer'
chandise Store and Post
Office Total Loss.

A. Palya & Co.'s big general mer-
chandise store building at Tabor
was with it contents, destroyed by
fire on Friday afternoon.
The fire started at the back part
of the store and spread so rapidly
that practically nothing in the store
was saved. A small part Of the
stock was stored in small ware
house adjoining the store and part
Of the stock in the room was saved.
AS soon as it became evident that
the fire could not be gotten und(
control Mr.. Palya and his clerks di-
verted their energies to saving the
mail and postofice records and sup
lplies which were in the store, Mr..
Palya being the postmaster. All Of
these were saved.
The loss of building and stock is
estimated at about $4,000 upon
which there was insurance to the
amount Of about $4,000.
Mr.. Palya states that the postofdce
land part of the stock has been re-
moved into a small building and the
business will be continued in these
Temporary quarters until spring
when the store will be rebuilt.
l Tabor is a little trading center il
the northwestern part Of Polk coun
|ty and on account Of the richness o.
the farming country the Tabor store
did thriving business. The stor'
! was started nineteen years ago as :
farmers cooperative store but afte,
running as such for two or thre
years was purchased by A. Palya I
