Financial Values

Get the true FACTS in regard to the financial and tax condition O any state, city, or town that has voted out licensed saloons and you will wonder why any sane person would give so-caHed pro hibition a, serious thought says the memorandum book of the li- Quor interests. Probably not if the "facts'' come from liquor sources. But the United States census shows that, in the decade 1900 to 1910 Maine increaBed the value or all her farming property 63 per cent; New York, 36 per ceat; Massachusetts, 24 per cent; Pennsylvania, 19 per cent. The value oF the implements and ma chinery upon. the farms Gn Massa- chusetts increased S1 per cent; in Pennsylvania, 39 per cent; in New York, 49 per cent, in Maine, SIXTY-FIVE per cent.

DIVORCE

Another Instance of misleading statement is found In the divorce statistics as presented by the frabrt cators working 4n the interests of brewers and distillers. There is no national divorce law. New York Is a license state, but there Is only one cause for GlEorce in New York. No divorce is granted on accolunt of drunkenness in that state, and the apparent divorce rate is low. By placing New York with other states where the causes for divorce are very limited, the alleged facts of the liquor interests seem to con Yey the impression that prohibition incI eases the diVOICe rate. AS a matter of fact q conSiderable pro- portion of the cases of domestic in felicity that reach the courts are directly attributable to the opera tions of the licensed and law pro tec+ed saloons. This is fully sub stantiatea by the court records, and the official declarations of judges and court officials.

Prisoners

Under this head tue pamphlet Facts" of the drink dealers pre- sent a so-called comparison of Wet and dry states. This is another at tempt to deceive. It represents the rate of prisoners actually in carcerated. utterly ignoring the par ole syst ems of the different states. It mentions ansas as having B rate per 100000 of 91.1 and Ne braska only 55.1. The rate of com mltment to prison in the two states name was as follows: Nebraska, 482 per 100000 population, Kan sas, 19S per 100000 population. The United States census report shows that Nebraska, with nearly 500,O0O less population than Kan sas committed 5,SSS delinQuents In 1910 while Kansas committed S,594.

Bank Deposits

If the inferences conveyed by the liquor literature is correct, gen. eral prosperity will cease in pro hibition states. Yet Maine, sur rounded by license territory, ha today 2SS,5S6 depositors in her sayings banks, with deposits of $97,423,OSS.63 and no legal dram shops. In other words, Maine, with & population of 42,871, has one deDosito'r in the savings banks for every three and Q quarter per sons, including men, women and children.
 Not simply the amount of de posits, but the number of deposit ors tell the stor7 Of general thrift and prosperity. Ohio is a great state. It has a population of A. .767,121, over six times the popula- ton cf Maine. On June 23, 1915, l. had 115,241 depositors in its saving banks, with $62,6O3,425.SS to their credit. It also had H. 131 persons holdings federal tax re- cdpts as retail liquor sellers. The figures :ell the story. Maine, with p", 'jbitiop has. more than twice tho number of depositors in her svaings banks and one-third more money in deposits than the great state of Ohio with six times the population of Maine.

Waterloo, June 27.-Rain of last
week stopped the cultivator when the
corn was in need Of it badly. AS a
result the farmers have met with a
complete reversal and will have to cul-
tivate continually to catch up"
In many Of the lowlands it will re-
quire the warmth Of several days like
Saturday and Sunday to make The sol
fit for cultivation, observers say.
The corn has made but little prog
ress in the last week. The chilly
nights and rainy weather prohibiting
cultivation, have been the potent
forces in retarding growth.
Hopes for a normal yield fell among
the farmers during the week, when 1t
was seen that there would be but little
growth.
However, the warmer weather OF
Saturday and Sunday drove out part
of the gloom 1t appeared that the
cultivators could start action again
today.
According to County Agriculturist
A. A. Burger, the stand Of the stalk
in this county is good considering the
circumstances.
What the seed corn station did for
this county is seen when the corn
conditions in other counties are
viewed.
A farm writer in commenting on the
growth in Polk and Story counties
said:
1T was noticeable. however, that
where corn was given a severe test
and six kernels tested whether the
turn was old or new, the stand was
better than it was in other places.
Where the corn was given the jack
knife test or something of that sort,
the stand wasn't materially different
than where no test had been made.
Some farmers planted corn from
tae crib without any test, and great
deal of this corn had to be planted
over again. Others bought seed and
failed to test it. depending upon the
dealers test. They, too, planted the
second time"
