Parksville on Prohibition.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me a small space in
your columns this week. We are
nearly all frozen up over here,
mean those not in love. We have
an cid widower here who seems to
have the love fever, that he says
seems to keep him warm. Then. we
have young man here that is look
ing after the cattle tick and dipping
cattle. He seems to have bad
case of love fever He says that
he hardly needs coat. He seems
to be thinking of the lumber busi-
ness and the dentistry, but it is
about all the rest of US can do to
keep from freezing.
Now, Mr.. Editor, thought about
four years ago our State voted for
State wide prohibition. This, !
think was done in September. The
next January following, our legis-
lature met, and instead of giving us
what we voted for, and asked for,
gave US the gallon a-month law, the
most disgraceful law that was ever
plsced on the Statute books. Just
flooded the country with whiskey.
A man can 60 to Mccormick and or
der gallon, then to Plum Branch,
then Parksville, then to Modoc all
in one day. In this way he gets
four gallons a month. There has
been more whiskey handled and
drank in and around Parksville in
the last twelve months than there
was in the whole of Coy. Blease'
term of Office. Look any way you
may in Parksville aud you will see
some one or two negroes with gal
lon packages under their arm.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the drinking
and traffic in whiskey in the State
is the most villainous. 1t is worse
than war or pestilence. 1t is the
crime of crimes. 1t is the parent of
crimes and the mother of sins. It
is the appalling source of misery,
poverty and sorrow. 1t causes three
fourths of the crime, and of course
is the cause of three-fourths of the
taxes to support that crime.
To license such an incarnate fend
of He'll is the dirtiest, most low
down, damnable business on top of
the old earth. The whiskey traffic
fills the jails ard penitentiaries, the
poor houses and insane asylums.
Who has 10 pay the bills? The
landlord w',o doesn't get his rent,
because tha money goes for whiskey,
the butcher and the grocer and the
charitable persons who take on the
children of drunkards, and the tax
payer who supports the insane asy-
ium, and other institutions that the
whiskey business fills gith wrecks
of humanity.
Do away with the accursed busi-
ness and you will not have to put
up to support them. Who gets the
money? The whiskey sellers, and
the brewers and distillers, while the
whlskey fills the land with misery,
poverty, wretchedness, disease and
damnation.
You say, "People will drink it
anyway" Not by my vote. They
will murder their wives anyway. F"
Not by my vote. You are the SOW
ereign people. What will you do
about it?
Let me assemble before your
minds the bodies of the drunken
dead, who crawls away into the jaws

Harvest Time Suggestions


Suggestion is made at this time
that farmers who load their grain
on open hayracks to haul to the
stack should make the rack tight
enough to hold the shelled grain or
use canvas to catch it, The high
price of grain and the prospects for
shortage make the cost of the canvas
look small in comparison with what
may be saved by it. Several farm
ers might use the saem canvas where
their stacking does not come at quite
the same time.
In operating the binder where the
grain varies in height, it is import
ant that the driver should keep
shifting the binder to suit the length
of straw and have the bands come
at the middle of the sheaf so that
straws will not lose out in handling.
To save buying more binders in a
community, farmers can combine
their efforts of teams and drivers,
and keep the machine going all day
without stopping for feed and rest,
thus saving their crops with the min
imum of investment in machinery
and laborers.
In selecting the place for stacking
the grain, care should be used to
have the ground cleaned off so 1t
will be easy to save the shelled grain
at threshing time. Sticks, cobbles
and other things that would be
dangerous If fed into the cylinder
should be removed. Straw is going
to be valuable this year and care
should be given to save the straw
in as good condition as possible to
resist the storms. Any kind of a
stockade that will hold 1t in a COM
pact body will be worth while. Some
who have barns are planning to blow
it into the barn and catch and hold
everything but the hum of the ma
chine.
After the threshers have left and
before there comes rain, all the
grain that lies in the chaff and dust
should be scooped up and deposited
in a dry place for the fowls IN
winter. Chickens need dust bath
in winter to keep off the mites, and
they need exercise such as will be
afforded by scratching in this mix
ture of grain and chaff and dust to
get their feed. Prepare clean hard
aoor that can be swept often, and
then dump enough of the mixture on
it each day to keep the fowls In
good condition. Prepare the place
of storage now, and do not wait till
the shower spoils the plan by sprout-
ing the grain. If you want the
chickens to have little green truck
during the winter to improve the
egg crop, take some of the mixed
grain and dust and wet it, and place
It in a shallow box where there Is
enough heat and light to sprout 1t.

TO AVOID AUTOS

Pedestrians are warned to cross
the streets only at the crossings, and
not to stand on the crossings to talk.
Watch the course of approaching
cars and do not fool the drivers by
changing your course suddenly. 1t
is the person that changes his mind
and turns unexpectedly that is in the
most danger of being bumped: Driv-
ers are advised to give the hand
signals indicating turns they will
make at corners. The person riding
by the side of the driver should give
the hand signals on his or her side,
then people ahead will know which
way that car is going to turn, and
keep in the clear. Avoid using the
horn excepting when needed; then
use it sparingly. Too much footing
makes confusion.
Learn the rules and signals, and
then keep sharp lookout so you
can keep your place. tt

Then let the fowls have it to dig
in, and they will eat the tender
shoots and the kernels and repay you
in better eggs. A monotonous ra-
tion of wheat will keep fowls alive
all winter but it will not keep them
in good physical condition and lay
ing. Frequent changes of diet with
out going to extremes is what they
need.
In operating the thresher, do not
allow the pitchers to crowd it and
reduce the speed of operation nor
yet to get behind and let the ma

Either circumstance wastes the
grain, and care on the part of the
pitchers and in regulating the sep
arator if variation occurs. saves
heavy loss of grain. Workmen
should keep these things in mind
and remember that care in the har-
vest is one of the ways Of winning
