HOBSON TO MAKE SPEECHES
IN SUPPORT OF w. d. UPSHAW

ATLANTA, GA, September 5.-Rich-
mond Pearson Hobson, the famous he
70 of the Herrimace and nationally ia
nous prohibition advocate, may de-
liver some speeches in Georgia for
William D. Upshaw, candidate for the
United States Senate, if the Alabama
friends of Mr. Upshaw have anything
to do with the selection of speakers in
his campaign.
Upshaw is a candidate for the place
in the Senate now occupied by Thomas
W. Hardwick, who has gained consld'
cradle newspaper notoriety and crit
icism throughout the country by his
efforts to block the war plans of Pres
ident Wilson.

Doesn't Stop Drinking.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September T.
Whisky making in the United States
ends legally at IL o'clock tomorrow
night But whisky drinking does not
cid. There were 232 ,404,S40 gallons
of it stored in warehouses at the last
report, not to mention supplies in sa-
looms, wholesale liquor stores and with
licensed liquor dealers. This supply
will last several years.
While the food control law under
which John Barleycorn is knocked OUT
is effective only for the duration of the
war, prohibitionists declare whisky
this country. They are confident that
making never will be known again in
with the experience gained from the
present war experiment, nationwide
prohibition will soon be adopted by
federal constitutional amendment.
John made hard fight in congress
before the knockout was administered
in section Is of the food control law
Herbert Hoover counted John out in
rider to save about 100000 bushels
of foodstuffs to fight the war.
What will happen to whisky distill-
cries is problematical. Some have al.
ready announced they will go out OF
business. others plan to continue
making alcohol for industrial purposes
Many may enter other lines-even
making matted milk.
The law prohibits the making of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes
Straight alcohol and denatured alcohol
may continue to be manufactured

1t is eighteen daysS after In the
shadow of little island of pines, that
lies in a shivering waste of ice and
snow, the White Guard camp. They
are able to do this night what they
have not done for days dig a great
grave of snow, and building a fire OF
pine wood at each end of this strange
house, get protection and something
like comfort They sit close to the
numbed fingers The extract that
follows Is taken from his diary. 1t
tells that days life, and so gives an
idea of harder, steTner days that they
have spent, and will spend, on this
weary journey.
December 18th = This is Christ

day. We are eighty miles from Great
Fish River, and the worst yet to do
We have discovered no signs Jeff
Hyde has had bad two days with
his frozen foot Gaspe TOujours helps
him nobly. One of the dogs died this
morning. Jacques Is a great leader.

able to celebrate Christmas Day with
good basin of tea, and our standby
of beans cooked In fat. l was right
about them: they have great sustaining
power. Tomorrow we will start at
ten O'Clock"
The writing done, Jaspar Hume
puts his book away and turns toward
the rest. Cloud-in-the-Sky and Late
Carscallen are smoking Little can
be seen of their faces; they are muffled
to the eyes. GaSpe TOuiours Is drink
ing a basin of tea, and Jeff Hyde Is
sfitfully doing by the fire The dogs
are above IN the tent, all but Jacques,
who tonight Is permitted TO Re near
his master The Sub-factor rises, takes
from a knapsack a small tin pail, and
puts it near the fire This operation
Is watched by the others Then he
takes five little cups that fit snugly
into each other, separates them, and
puts them also near the fire. None
of the party speak A change seems
to pass over the faces of all except
CIoud-in-the-Sky. He smokes on IN
moved At length the Sub-factor said
cheerily: Now, men, before We turn IN
Wen do something IN honor of the day
Liquor We none Of us have touched
since we started; but back there in the
Fort, and maybe In other places too,
they will be thinking of US; so wei

a spoonful, and to the day when We
see them sgainl
The cups were passed round The
Sub-factOr measured out very small
portion to each. They were not men
Of uncommon sentiment; their lives
were rigid and isolated and severe
Preside comforts under fortunate con-
ditions they saw but seldom, and they
were not given to expressing their
feelings demonstrativeiy. But each
man then, save Cloud-in-the-Sky, had
some memory worth a resurrection,
and hearts are hearts even under all
uncouthness- Jaspar Hume raised his
cup; the rest followed his example

for a moment, and then his jaws opened
and shut as if he were about to speak.
But before he did so the Sub-factor
said, ut is a long journey and a hard
one. Those who go may never come
back. But this man was working for
his country, and he has got a wife
a good wifei" He held up the letter.
Late CarscaIlen wants to know who will
lead you. Can't you trust me?
will give you a leader that you will
follow to the Barren Grounds. To-
morrow you will know who he Is.
Men, are you satisfied? Will you
do it?"
The four rose, and Cloud-in-the-Sky
nodded approvlngly many times. The
man shook 1t, Jeff Hyde first; and he
said, "Close up ranks for the H. B. c."
III. B. G. meaning of course Hudson
Bay Company
With a good gan to lead them
they would have stormed, alone, the
Heights of Balaklava.
Once more Jasper Hume spoke:
Go to Gosse and get your outfits
at nine tomorrow morning. Cloud-in-
the Sky, have your sleds at the store
at eight o'clock, to be loaded. Then
all meet me at 1918 at the office of
the Chief Factor Good night"
As they passed out into the SEM
arctic night, Late Carscallen with an
unreal obstinacy said, ''Slow march
to the Barren Grounds-but who
1eads?"
Left alone the Sub-faetor sat down
to the pine table at one end of the
room and after short hesitation be-
gan to write. For hours he sat there,
rising only to put wood on the fire.
The result was three letters: the largest
addressed to famous society in London,
one to a solicitor in Montreal, and one
to Mr. Field, the Chief Factor They
were all sealed carefully. Then Jaspar
Hume rose, took out his knife and
the red seal He paused, however,
sighed, and put the knife back again.
As he did so he felt something touch
his leg. 1t was the dog. Jaspar
Hume drew in a sharp breath and said,
1t was all ready, jacques; and in
another three months 1 should have
been In London with 1t. But it will
go whether go or not-whether 1
go or not, jacques" The dog sprang
up and put his head against his MASTER
breast.
Good dogl good dogI it's all right
Jacques; however 1t goes, it's all
right"
Then the dog lay down and watched
the man until he drew the blankets
10 MS cnln, and sleep drew oblivion
over fighting but mastery soul
At ten o'clock next morning Jas
par Hume presented himself at tie
Chief Factors office. He bore with
him the letters he had written the
night before
The Factor said, "Wen, Hume. 1
am glad to see you. That woman's
letter was on my mind all night. Have
you anything to propose? l suppose
not" he added despairingly, as he
looked closely into the face of the other
"Yes, Mr.. Field, I propose this:
that the expedition shall start at
noon today"
'tShalI- start-at noon-today?"
In two hours"
But, who are the party?"
Jeff Hyde, Gaspe TOujours, Late
Carscallen and Cloud-in-the-Sky.
And who leads them, Hume? Who

CONGRESS STIMULATES
COUNTY AGENT WORK

The Importance of county agent
work in the United States has been
demonstrated repeatedly. Congress
has given further recognition to the
work by large appropriations which
will foster the work in the present
emergency. A recent bill has been
approved which appropriated S1,876,-
900 to be used in the North and West.
A survey of the United States
shows that most of the county agents
are located outside of the most pro-
ductive agricultural belt in the coun-
try. Most of the food is produced in
the section which has fewest county
agents. Most of the appropriations
will be spent in those counties which
do not have county agents.
An effort will be made to supply
agents to those counties in which the
farmers feel the need of an agent.
The demand for an agent must come
from the farmers themselves and no
agent will be forced upon any county.
A school was held recently at the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture to give instructions to a
group of men who will help administer
the work outlined by the bill. These
men have been prepared to present a
plan of organization to the farmers
whereby county agent work can be
supported. Counties in which people
desire an agent will be assisted in OBJ
tanning suitable men.
Congress has seen the necessity of
encouraging extension work and has,
by this appropriation, approved the
work which has already been done.
The money will be spent primarily in
supporting county agents, assistants
to county agents, and in supervision
of the various forces.

WELCOME, MR.. TAFT

Having, | believe, been upon the
chautauqua platform longer than any
other man in public life, it falls to
my lot to extend a welcome to former
President Taft, who is making an ex-
tended chautauqua tour through the
central west.
He has message to deliver and he
is finding the chautauqua audience
worth speaking to. With an expires
ident, the present vice-president and
speaker of the national house of rep
resentatives when they have leisure)
among the chautauqua attractions, it
will be hard for the metropolitan
press to class the chautauqua any
longer with the circus. These papers
will have to cease reviling the great
educational movement which, starting
generation ago on Chautauqua Lake,
has spread to over six thousand COM
munities.
The ex-president may find it incon-
venient to snatch lunch at a depot
restaurant and to change cars at all
times of the day and night, but the
pleasures outweigh the hardships.
Would that more of our public men
would avail themselves of the chantau-
qua platform as a means of commun-
ing with the masses.
