Three per cent alcohol in beer will
not stop the waste of our precious
grains by the greedy and unloyal
brewers of this country. The way to
step it is to confscate the vast quaint
ties of rice and barley which the
brewers have stored in the large ter
minal warehouses throughout the
country and then make the brewers
stop the making of liquors and have
them turn their plants over to the
government for the making of war
munitions.

C0RKS AND BULLETS

The New York court which decided
that the state has right to close the
saloons in time of war evidently
figured that the state has a right to
protect itself against enemies in time

SAVED FOR WAR USES

Its no-waste program has been ex-
tended by the War Department to lid
uor conhscated from law breakers
who seek to run the gauntlet around
the dry zone and smuggle bottled
goods to soldiers in army camps
Hereafter the liquor so seized will be
saved for war uses instead of being
dumped into sewers.

(From the Omaha Daily News)


The Mayor of Omaha, one-time
leader of the vets and determined op.
ponent of Prohibition, has deserted
his former allies and now is lined UP
with the men who believe Prohibition
is good thing.
For years the Mayor opposed clos
ing the saloons on the ground that
their abolition would mean ruin to a
city and that taking away mans
right to freely buy Intoxicating liquor
would mean taking away his personal
liberty.
The Mayors municipal campaigns
were made chiefly upon the personal
liberty" issue.
During the existence of the 8 o'clock
closing law the Mayor on various oc-
casons denounced that measure and
took no active steps to enforce the
law.
In those days the Mayor stood for
wide open" town.
He led the fight against Prohibition
last November; lined up the Demo
cratic machine against the drys,
formed political alliance with the vets
and did everything one man could do
to defeat Prohibition.
Mayor Has Changed Front
But the Mayor has changed front
Confronted by the facts demonstrated
by five months of Prohibition in
Omaha, he now acknowledges that
Omaha has benefited by the abolition
of saloons.
He explained his changed attitude
-i2a recent. interview with William ].
johnson, associate secretary of the
Presbyterian board of temperance.
So strongly did the Mayor present
the virtues of Prohibition in Omaha
that Mr.. Johnson uses his statements
as an argument for dry Chicago. He
is quoting Omaha's Mayor as follows:
Il found the Mayor to be very APP
proachable, genial and frank in his dis
cussion of the Prohibition question.
Il said to him, Mayor, we are get
ting ready for big fight on the sa-
loon question in Chicago and | have
come here to see how Prohibition
has hurt Omaha
HE said: Prohibition has not hurt
Omaha; everything is all right
What effect has it had on crime, on
the number of arrests?
There is not so much crime, not
hearly SO many arrests. There is not
SO much quarreling between husbands
and wives, not so many cases of non
support, and not so many divorce
cases

Poultry Pointers

Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting for
their last meal.
Put the windows in the poultry
house low down near the floor, so thas
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching for
their feed.
The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes q
splendid winter litter in which to feed
the small grain. Have it about six
inches deep all over the hen-house
floor.
All perches in the poultry-house
should be built on level. When built
one above another, step-fashion, the
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some of them will
become injured OF eggs will be broken
In them.
Grit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have large pile of sand and gravel
handy, where the fowl2 can help
themselves.

IN SELLING A HORSE FROM YOUR FARM
IT'S WELL TO RECALL THESE THINGS

Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty con
formation, unsoundness, and general
characteristics.
Common tlemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking, weav.
ing, and biting.
Common faults of conformation are
straight shoulders, crooked, weak. or
improperly set legs, eve neck, long,
weak back, ard dropping Group.
Common unsoundness are splints,
thoroughpin spawn, curb, extreme
fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted tendons
and broken wind.
General characteristics include flesh
ing, temperament, quality, color, and
age.
in final selection, look for the good
qualities and weigh them against the
defects.

Proper Time For Holding Convention

Some who are opposing the holding
vancing the argument that the time is
not propitious and that it would be
better to wait until the European war
is over.
But why? Is the fabric of Tennessee
or the other States of the Union or
that of the Federal government to be
changed by the struggle across the
waters? Is it necessary to await a
revolution in this country which no
man anticipates, and which, indeed, all
men know is not coming, in order to
transact pressing public busiaess?
/ 1t is the map of Europe which is to
be changed by that epoch-making
struggle; it is European thrones which
are falling and lettering, and not the
institutions of the great Republic of
the western hemisphere.
+ Every American commonwealth may
rightfully and wisely proceed to adjust
its laws and plans and aspirations
along the lines of its own needs and
environment and destiny, in the most
absolute and serene assurance that the
European war will be powerless, OH
; the one hand, to disturb the fabric of
its government nor will it, on the 9TH
er, relieve it of the necessity of pru-
dent attention. to matters of i'm cdi-
Late concern.
The patriotism Of Tennessee will not
be exhausted on the battlefields of
France. 1t will be illustrated there,
splendidly illustrated; it will be proven
in a prowess which will be worthy of
the most heroic memories of a past
which hoary Europe may deem young
but which all Europe admires and re-
spects, Teuton no less than Celt. But
the fathers and elder brothers of the
gallant array of sons of Northland and
of South marching beneath a common
flag to fields of common courage and
commGS glory, will not prove recre-
ant at home to the spirit of patriotism
which animates the absent soldiery of
the nation.
They will perform, in reverent ana

less, the duties which the days bring
forth, be they those of the problem OF
individual life or those which the com
mon veal and affairs of state present.
The glow of patriotism will animate
the soldiers of the Republic to uphold
it's traditions and its honor. 1t will
sustain the citizenship of the land to
patient endurance of all needful sacri-
fees and to the highest conception of
civic duty to the state.
The intense realization of common
and great responsibility which has
come to all classes, the growing reality
of common sacrifices and self-denal;
the shadow of impending common
griefs and heartaches-the will bind

KEEP COWS THAT MAKE MONEY
It May Be That You Can Take the
Cows You Have and BY Using a
Pure-bred Beef Bull Greatly Increase
Your Income-Think it over.
(By R. NJ Murphy, Division of Exten
ton, University of Tennessee,
KnoXville)

What are you keeping COWS for?
The dairyman keeps COWS to eat up
the rough feeds of his farm, to make
manure to build up the fertility of his
land, to produce milk and butter to
sell The beef nan keeps cows to eat
up the rough feeds of his farm, to
make manure to build up the fertility
of his land and to produce calves to
sell
The important difference between
the dairyman and the beef man is in
the fact that the dairyman's farm is
so situated that he has a market for
dairy products, the beef man does not
have this market so must be content
to sell a less perishable product
calves Both of them are in a good
business because they are looking out
for the fertility of their farms first
OF course, incidentally each of these
men has a supply of milk and butter
for his family. This Is aside from the
main purpose Of keeping cows. how
ever.
There are thousands of farmers i'm
Tennessee who do not keep COWS to
eat up the rough feeds on their farms,
who pay no attention to the produo-
ton and value of manure, who do not
sell milk and butter, but keep cows
for the sole purpose Of having a sup
ply of milk and butter for their fami
lies. In the ia Il they sell bunch Of
scrawny calves that are a disgrace ~
