too far from the county seat"
What in the Sam Hill does that
make with the proper manage
ment of the county farm. Fully
5OH of the county farms in Il e
state are not located at the coun.
ty seat. The county has one of the
incest and best located farms in
Pemiscot, located near one of
the big drainage bitches, and is
drained nearly all the year round.
The object of course, is to sell
and buy near the present county
seat, and pay at least twice as
much for the present amount of
ground. Build a grand editice
and tax the people for years
to come.
A little further down: THE
county should dispose of the
present farm and construct IL
new modern Institution near
the county seat where advantages
of city water and light may be
had"
Anyone with bat sense knows
that one doesn't have to be at
the county seat to get electric
light and plenty of water. The
Herald does say that Pemiscot
county needs Il better home for
it's poor than it has at present.
But since it cannot pay for their
upkeep. why go farther in debt
and build big home for them.
The poor are entitled to. comfort
and medical treatment, but do
not need luxury.

tiOns only That is just the
way it has been run for several
years. This report tends to put
it into politics. The county pays

is a lot easier to criticiSe than to
place an effort into effect. Talk
is easy, but it takes money to
work with. The present super
intendent is amply able to take
care of the county's poor with Il
better appropriation from the
county and a better place to
house them. 1T is true the
building is not the best and could
be considerably improved with a
small amount of money. But
where is the money to do this
work with:
This agent goes farther and
criticises the keeper of the poor
farm, who has to discount his
warrants at 800, and states that
he visited the county Jail and
found it in "a clean and sanitary
condition. which the Herald is
glad is fact. but does not know
that the Jail authorities have
had barrels of disinfectant' ard
the poor farm keeper was not
properly provided with sufficient
lime to whitewash his building.
Really, this agent knows moth.

county, and as for him to criti.

praise others, and all this Tor
political reasons, he should have
saved his transportation.
But there's a reason for the
inspection.

Birth statistics for London seem
to show that nature has b egun to re-
store the balance Of the sexes which
is being disturbed by the wal, Dur
ing the past 10 weeks 1929 boys

gives a proportion Of 1,O4z boys to
1000 girls, which is severn more boys

Two intoxicating Beverages Popu-
\ lar With Many In Alaska.

In Alaska the white man who
spends more than a year in that ter
ritory is called a "sourdough," but
the same name is in popular use to
designate the favorite intoxicating
drink of that region. "Hootchinoo"
is the name Of a more artistic bever-
age distilled from sourdough. A
correspondent of the New York Med
ical Record, resident in Alaska, gives
some information regarding these
drinks. Sourdough is made by mix
ing 3 very thin dough Of -four and
water, adding yeast and setting
aside to ferment. The fermentation
is fastened by setting the vessel in
a warm place. It is said that the
addition of molasses to the ferment-
ing mass makes a stronger prepare.
ton. The mass has a soul smell,
hence the name. This liquid is more
intoxicating than beer, and the laws
Of Alaska prohibit its manufacture.
The art of making sourdough is be.
lieved to have originated in Kam-
chatka, across the Boring sea, whence
it spread to the American territory.
To make "hootchinoo," the distilled
s%ourdough, requires a distilling ap-
paratus. This is made by taking two
c%oal-oil cans and connecting them
with a pipe. The sourdough is boiled
in one and as the vapor goes over it
is condensed by ice in the other. In
the absence Of a connecting pipe a
gun barrel is used. The correspond
ent says there are many houses in
Alaska where this Arctic circle
moonshine is made.

these dances as participants. "She

way Of saying that a girl has made
her debut and is eligible for matrit
monial attentions. The national
dance Of Roumania is a sort of cross
between a jig and the game Of "rins
