PROHIBITION WAVE HITS
OLD new YORK
Conservative Sun Turns Bat
teTieS on Alcohol.

New York.-The Prohibition wave
in the South and West has hit this
metropolis. Prohibition is dis
cussed in clubs, business houses, and
hotel lobbys. Even the newspapers
do not hesitate to declare that it is
not impossible for Prohibition to
overw helm New York City. Some
mornings ago the entire city gasped
on reading the following in the Sun
which has never been considered
friendly to Prohibition:
"King Alcohol's record is a sorry
one. Wherever his commercial ex-
ploitation has been undertaken-and
where has it not?-a story of
wretched villainy has been written.
The custodians Of his business inter-
ests have shown themselves ready
always and everywhere to ally them
selves with the worst elements of the
community. Wherever a direputable
den needed friend one Of the Kings
fatuous men was sure to volunteer.
Wherever conditions became so bad
that a community rose IN wrath TO
abate intolerable nuisances one of his
court was at hand to combat cleanli-
ness and bolster up vice. Wherever
weakness and ignorance gave some
little sign of striving for better
things some retainer of this arrogant
monarch was at hand to stifie it. Not
bad cause lacked support from his
well-stuffed Golfers, not good
movement enlisted their assistance.
Corruption has recruited its first
lieutenants, its captains, its generals
in chief from his train; every oppor-
tunity for dirty work has been seized
by them greedily; every indecency
of business, of policies, OF humanity
at large has been bolstered and up
held by his retainers."

Rape is Good Feed as
Forage for Hogs.

Rape proved most valuable of
spring, sown forage crops for
swine at the Ohio Experiment
Station. 1t furnishes a palatable,
nutritious feed throughout the
season if not pastured too close
ly. In one experiment lasting
119 days this crop had a value,
as forage for hogs, of SIT 81 an
acre in replacing concentrates iE
the ration, corn being valued at
81. IL bushel and tankage at $50
a ton. In addition to this past
ure the hogs received daily
grain ration amounting to 2.8
per cent Of their live weight.
The crop may be seeded from
April to the middle O. July, eth
er broadcasted or drilled solid or
in rows "a to % inches apart.
Five to eight pounds of seed are
needed to broadcast an acre, and
from two to three pounds if the
rape is to be grown in rows. On
good soil and with early cultiva
ton the crop is ready to be past
ured in six or ten weeks from
planting.

TOLEDO MANS TESTIMONY
Tells of the Benefits of Prohibition In
Colorado.

Toledo, Ohio,-George W. Metzgar,
former merchant of this city, and now
engaged in the merchandise business
in Denver, writing to Toledo friend
as to the operation of Prohibition in
Colorado, says:
"By the way, if anyone tells you
that Prohibition in Colorado is not
a success, or has not benefited bust
ness, you can tell him he is telling
an untruth.
"The benefits to business and to the
people have been wonderful. We
voted dry two years ago, but Denver
went wet by 5000. Last fall, when
an amendment was voted on to al
low the manufacture in the state of
beer alone, Denver went dry by
10000, difference of 10000 votes in
Denver.
"There is less crime, more shoes,
less booze, fewer bad accounts, hap
pier homes and fewer people in jails
and hospitals, and taxes are lower
and vacant houses fewer"

conduct a school contest in which
cur village schools and township

was the winning card.
1t seems that almost every
thing is satisfactory with oul
people, except the self assess.
ment imposed upon them. This
is taking business so much out OF
the ordinary way of doing things,
that it seems very difficult for
the taxpayer to adjust himself to
this extraordinary way Of doing
things that the rebellious spirit,
of which it seems every person
has some sort of supply, rises up
in protest and does the work very
unwillingly, and in some cases
very unskilIfully, and exacts a
duty from the people from which
almost every person would be eX-
empted. This writer Will ven.

not beyond the pale of probabili-

Crop Boosting Move
ment.
ment:.

There seems to be a wrong I'M
preston among the farmers as to
TIE object and method of proceed
ure in the crop boosting move
ment inaugurated by the Ohio
Branch of the Council of Nation
al Defense.
Also in regard to the duties of
the local Food and Crop Commits
sioner. erroneous reports have
been circulated. This Commits
sinner is reported to be getting a
large salary, whereas, in truth,
he receives none at all.
The sole object of the entire
movement is to aid the farmers
in producing a crop of such size
that the threatened food crisis
will be averted.
The worldwide shortage is so
pronounced and the condition of
the crops soon to be harvested is
so bad, that high prices are bound
to prevail, even though the larg-
est acreage in our history should
be planted and the yield per acre
should bet the greatest ever known.
Moreover, the government is
likely to establish minimum pri-
ces and fix them so high that ev-
cry farmer will have a large pro-
fit on everything he has to sell.
The most fortunate clrcum-
stance connected with the pres
ent crisis is the fact that we may
be patriotic without financial loss.
The farmer who best serves his
will also be working for
the best interest of his pocket
book.
To return to the method of car
rylng out the progress outlined
by the Council of Defense, we
may say that the duties Of the
Food and Crop Commissioner re-
late to matters of organization
and administration that could not
be handled by the Agricultural
Agent, who is most widely ac-
quainted in the county and whose
time will be fully occupied with
other matters. Mr.. Porter will
not be called upon to dictate to
farmers or to give expert advice
in matters agricultural. So far
as such advice may be desired,
the writer, who has been appoin-
ted Special Agricultural Agent
for Darke county, will be glad to
cooperate with the farmers to
the utmost of his ability.
We do not propose to tell the
farlners what to raise or how to
raise it, but we do intend to make
the greatest effort of which we
are capable, to help them secure
labor and seeds and to see that
the railroads make prompt ship
ment of fertilizer, farm imple-
ments and other articles that will
aid the farmer in doing his Id
triotic duty by raising a bumper
crop.
I am here to serve in any way
possible. Do not hesitate to call
upon me in person, by phone, or
by letter whenever I may be of
service.
We are fully convinced that in

Correspondence. Although a
new member in the House, Rep
reSentative Niels JUL of Illinois
possesses what has been termed
Legislative instinct. The re-
cent bond issue bill, as reported
to the House. provided that the
bonds should be offered first as a
popular loan "at net less than
par" those unsubscribed for to
be otherwise disposed of by the
Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Juul suggested that such Ian
guage might injure the sale of
the bonds as the people would get
the idea that, after they had sub
scribed, bankers and others might
get the surplus at less than par.
Congressman Juul's criticism was
Immediately recognized as just,
and the bill was amended so as
to make it mandatory on the Sec,
retary of the Treasury to dispose
of all bonds at not less than par.
Thcre>is nothing so important
to insure a successful termination
of the war, according to Con-
gresham William E. Mason of
Illinois, as to bring the people in
to closer relationship with the
government by letting them SUBJ
scribe directly to the cost of the
conflict. Mr.. Mason urged that
the contemplated bonds be issued
in denominations as small as $40
so as to be within the reach of eV-
eryone. He was a member of the
Senate during the Spanish war,
and remembers that there were
24O, 600 individual subscribers for
sums of $500 or less to the first
bond issue. Mr.. Mason suggest
ed that if these small bonds were
distributed through the, postoffi-
ces of the country, as was done
in 1898, the loan would be
oversubscribed many times.
A bill covering only three and
a half lines. but which, if enact
ed, will undoubtedly stimulate en-
listments in the Amy and navy,
has been introduced by Repre-
sentative John M. C. Smith of
Michigan. 1t provides that ev-
cry private in the army and every
seaman in the navy shall be paid
$50 per mCnth from the date of
his enlistment. That amount is
exactly twice what is paid at the
present time, but is So less than
the amount that Canada appro-
PIRATES for it's soldiers. While
men do not enlist for the comper-
sation offered alone, the payment
of a decent wage has been fund
in Canada to be a real induce
ment to recruits, and Mr.. Smith
believes that the same result
would obtain in this country.
