LEAGUE HAS EYE
EYE
ON DRUG STORES


"The difference between distilled
liquor as medicine and as bever-
age is one that can be made appar-
ent to any jury" remarked L. R.
Horton, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league, yesterday, in an
nouncing that the league is now
ready to turn its attention to drug
store sales of liquor.
"We've been working in the ma
tional fight and paying attention to
The bootleggers, and now we're read
y to see about the drug store sales" /"
continued Mr.. Horton. "There are
two checks on the drug stores; one
is the permits for bringing liquor
into the state and the other is the
prescription book each store keeps,
which must be shown any peace Of
ficer or any member of the city gov
ernment on demand.
"No physician in Spokane can af-
ford to be convicted as a bootlegger,
and few of them will want to be
placed in position of arguing that
whisky is recognized medicine.
Why" and the anti-saloon leader
grlnned appreciation of his argu-
ment, "the American pharmacopoe-
ia does not even mention whisky
as medicine,
we had case out here at Coulee
City in the old local option DAYS.
A doctor gave a man prescription

rections to take a spoonful after
each meal. The man got a spoon so
big that he appeared drunk on the
street. The doctor was convicted.
the court holding that he was either
a deliberate bootlegger or had
shown incompetency in the direc-
tons he gave with the prescription.
The law says:
"It shall be unlawful for any H.
censed physician to issue prescrip-
ton for intoxicating liquor unless
he has good reason to believe that
the person for whom it is issued is
actually sick, and that the liquor is
required as medicine"

Red Cross plans relief for American
war prisoners in Germany.

The American Red Gross has per-
fected plans for the relief of Ameri-
cans held prisoner in Germany. Ad-
vices say that food being furnished
prisoners in German retention
camps is entirely insufficient to
keep them in good health. Many
former French prisoners in Ger
many have been returned to France
in the last stages of tuberculosis, due
to malnutrition no less than to un-
sanitary conditions.
Plans for Christmas cheer for all
in the fighting ranks have been per-
fected by the Red Cross. Chapters
nearest the 80 cantonments in the
United States will probably arrange
in their towns community trees and
pageants and holiday movies, to
which the 100000 men in training
will be invited. Every enlisted man
in France will receive his package
of Christmas cheer. Beside "sur-
prises" they will probably contain
Writing paper, pipes, tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes, unbreakable mirrors,
puzzles, dominoes, handkerchiefs
and playing cards.
The Red Cross is cooperating with
public health authorities to safe
guard the health of civilian popula-
tons in the areas surrounding the
cantonments.
Plans have been made to serve re-
freshments to troops while en- route
from their homes to the cantonments
To meet the urgent need of Rus
sian hospitals the Red Gross sent

of an efficient army.
Recognizing the need of raising an
army that can be sent to the front
100 per cent efficient, the govern
ment has banished dissolute women
five miles Away from military camps
has made it a crime to give any SOL
dier liquor and is striving to throw
protecting arm about the men call
ed to the colors.
1t is to look after the well-being
of these men that the national war
council of the Y. M. C. A. is sending
its best men into the training camps
to point out to the soldiers the me-
cessity of following a clean life; to
make conditions in the training
camps or wherever the enlisted men
may be, so welcome and inviting that
he will find his pleasures there and
not seek influences that tend to rob
him of his manhood and honor.
Wherever enlisted men are senl
will follow the red triangle of the
Y. M. C. A. to which they turn for
recreation.
Meeting our war obligation as an
Atlantic Monthly writer sees it.
Everyone must bear share of the
burden thrust upon the country by
the war. Before long those who per-
sist in acknowledging no obligations
will have their parts allotted to them.
Why one may not live lightly al
this time is thus explained in the At
lantic Monthly:
"These are perhaps the most mo-
mentous times that have been vouch-
safed to humanity since the coming
of Christ. Other periods have pre-
sented the picture of isolated coun-.
tries being thrust into the crucible;
but now every morning the newspa-
pers spread before our eyes the aw-
full spectacle of whole world in
Sdot llCI lul HlCC. HC tllllcS dlC
mad with change.
"But terrible as the times are, and
more terrible as they may become,
surely no one can fail to be proud
to have granted to him or to her the
inestimable privilege of life at this
hour. No American may dare live
lightly in the present; for whether
our country rides the waves of chan
ge successfully, or is swamped by
them, is not to depend upon this
person or that, or upon some high
official in Washington, but upon you
upon the dedication and highmind-
edness of every individual within it's
borders"

New pamphlet urges dairy interests
to be protected.

In new pamphlet by Herbert
Hoover strong plea is made to pre-
vent the slaughter of dairy stock.
Because of the extraordinary high
price of feed farmers are showing a
tendency to reduce their herds.
In normal times dairy supplies of
the allies came from Scandinavia
and Switzerland but under German
pressure these supplies are being di-
verted to Germany. The burden of
replacement falls upon America.
Since the war began the worlds
supply of cattle has been reduced

head; hogs, 32,O00,OO0 head.

SOCIALISTS ARE URGED TO
GET BEHIND THE NATION.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-All social
lists in the United States, organized
and unorganized, were urged to put
their energy, strength, ardor and en-
thusiasm at the disposal of the gov
ernment, so that the war may be
carried to a rapid and victorious
conclusion in a statement issued by
socialist delegates to the Minneapol-
is conferences of the American Alli-
ance for Labor and Democracy on
their return here tonight.
"They will thus be acting in ac-
cordance with the noblest traditi-
ons and highest aspirations of Amer
lea as we'll as the international So
cialist movement" the statement
said.
Working for Success.
"They will be thus acting in the
spirit of the immortal Karl Marx,
who labored valiantly and unceas-
ingly for the success of the Union
army in the civil war. They will
thus be working hand in hand with
The tried leaders and fearless champ
ions of socialism in all the worlds
lemocracies.
German autocracy, with its feud-
alistic moves, German junkerdom,
German plutocracy-in short, Ger
nan militarism-conStitu the last
citidel of the worlds dark, reaction
ary forces.
We are convinced that the war in
which the United States is now en-
gagged is as just war as was ever
waged by a liberty-loving people
against ruthless aggression and OPP
pressive tyranny: We believe that
he cause of socialism, of industrial
democracy, of the progress of the
worlds workers toward better and
nobler life is indissolubly bound up
with the cause of the United States
and it's allied democracies.
Longing for Lasting Peace.

"Let us put at the disposal of our
government, led by our great demo-
cratic president, all our resources
and all our strength for the conquest
Of this citadel, for the overthrow OF

path for the march of the peoples

HER SACRIFICE.

A Montana woman, reused to in
dignation by the utterances of a
near-slacker, says that she knows
that woman can give her sons to
her country with smile, and be
neither ''lazy nor fanatical," be-
cause she has done it. She says:
''It may kill me to give them up. /
think it will, but l can still smile
and thank God | am not the moth
er of slackers. l would rather die
OF honorable grief than of shame,
and the mother is thankful that

STATE COLLEGE
INFORMATION FOR FARMER

INFORMATION FOR FARMER
Director w. S. Thornber, of the
Washington State College extension
service, stated that the college had
undertaken to locate good stocks Of
seed, both wheat and rye, and have
them reserved from shipment OF
milling until the crops were in. A
state Seed Committee, appointed by
Director Thornber at the request OF
Director A. C.. True, of the States
Relations Service, would help in To-
eating seed, holding it back from eX-
port or milling, and in putting those
who needed seed in touch with those
who had seed for sale. Director
True's request had been for such
Seed Committees to be appointed in
all the states, and it was urged thai
extension directors at once form
these committees so that they could
act in time to help in the fall seed
ing.
Crop failures due in part to faulty
farming following the anxiety of
farmers in all the state to respond
to the national call for large CROP
acreage and production led to dis.
cussion'of the extent to which farm
ers were justified in departing from
customary methods of farming Oh
the chance of getting larger yields.
President w. J.. Kerr of the Ore.
gon Agricultural College, believed
that farmers should depart from
their regular practices just as little
as possible, assuming that they had
already determined what the bes
practices were.
Others held that, because of the
uncertainty as to the duration O,
the war and consequent world-neeo
for large farm production in the
United States, stability as we'll a.
large production was needed in A.
merican farming, and that now was
bad time to indulge in reckless
farming on the chance of larger
yields
To increase the permanence a.
we'll as productivity of western farm
ing, the introduction of more live.
stock on the grain farms was sug.
gested. Also, interwheat crops oi
peas and beans where rainfall per.
mitted cropping every year, the us'
of clover in short rations between
wheat, and good tillage, were rec.
commended.

hesitate to do their bit.
Boys of 10 and 20 are not called
to army service in America as in
England, France and other nations
at war. But this does not mean that
the ages thus favored are expected
to perform no patriotic service.
There are many things to be done,
particularly in the work of conserv-
ing food products, in which the boys
can make themselves useful. Their
responsibilities are as great as those
of the soldiers in France.
The national pig club movement
is one which should not be overlook
