whiskey drinking and prohibition. The
example of men like Napoleon, Grant,
Washington, Thos. jefferson and 9TH
ers are held up as cases to prove that
men who drank were great men. The
additional statement could have
been made that even ministers
of the Gospel, from the smallest
to the greatest, used to take their

Do not allow yourself to fall into a
frenzied state Of mind over the food
situation. Do not stint and starve
yourself. Do not go to clothing your
self in rags. 1t is unnecessary and
it is foolish. These strenuous days
call for us to render a mans service,
and man cannot render good service
when half fed and poorly clad. There
is no necessity for becoming hyster-
ical. Corn a plenty; canned goods in
abundance, here and there a fat fowl;
good beef-steak and, in fact, every
thing we need, is here in abundance.
1t will be here when you are dead
and in your grave. All the Germans
in the world cannot prevent it. The
thing to do is to stop the useless
waste. We have gone far towards
this happy condition in putting out the
destructive whiskey business. The
money spent for whiskey is going
for food and clothing, and we are
better off in every way. There are
other ways in which we may practice
reasonable economy. But we need not
be silly fools over it. Eat we must,
wear clothes we must and will. And
we do not purpose doing anything less
beneficial until it is stern necessity.
This situation is yet far away; in fact,
we do not believe it will ever come.

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, Sept. 4.-The harvest
is here and the laborers are lazy.
Their lay-by time is gone for this
year. Fodder pulling has been on the
program for about ten days. Some
are through pulling while others are
just beginning. Cotton is opening
fast. Just few more days and the
ginneries will be going in full sway
upon the 1917 crop, and Mr.. Farmer
will begin to realize something for
his years work.
Molasses seems to be quite an OBJ
ject in the sight of the farmer this
time, for most everyone in this sec
tion has an acre or two of cane to
make up. A good thing, l think, for
l heard merchant say the other
day that molasses would be $1.00 per
gallon another year. At that price
pudding made of the precious syrup
ought to taste like wedding cake.

most of them desired to take it. The
fact that they do not now take to the
"toddy" tells it's own story. "Toddy"
taking proved to be bad business. 1t
is quite funny to see the rawlings of
the whiskey dealers. They do but re-
veal the sad plight to which they have
come. The liquor dealers are saying:
"Let the people have local option"
That's what we say. Let them have
local option. 1t is by local option that
the iniqutous business has been
brought to its knees, and by local op-
tion it has transpired that large
part of the country is now under the
prohibition banner.
1t now transpires that the Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Association
blames the high cost of meats upon
prohibition. That's funny. How
about flour, cotton, news print paper
and, in fact, everything under the
shining sun? This week the writer
passed through Tryon, N. c., on the
train. Tryon is a place where the
best grapes in the world are grown
Every summer, for years, heretofore,
it was the writer's custom to purchase
a basket of these delicious grapes
whenever Tryon was reached. This
was done every year heretofore for
the small sum of 25c. This year a
basket was purchased, and the price
was SOC! What raised the price of
grapes? Prohibition? No, it was
war, and the general notion in the
minds of people everywhere that
everything must be higher in price
Even the advance in price of poultry
is charged by these splendid logicians
to prohibition! This is funnier than
all. Every farmer knows, and has
known for years that the prices he
used to get for his poultry were not
even sucffiient to pay for the keep of
the chicken farm. The only men who
"broke even" on the chicken business
was the man who had few old hens
that grazed about the yard and
picked up living for themselves. The
minute man began to go to raise
poultry and feed them he put more
into them than he could ever hope to
get out.
But suppose prohibition has raised
the price of meats, poultry, eggs, flour
and other commodities? 1t must not
be forgotten that, having "cut out"
the booze we have more with which to
buy. That's a point that must be re-
membered. And, if the Wholesale Lii
quor Dealers can make good their
claim, then every farmer in the world
should turn prohibitionist. Let the
good work go on!

Public ownership? YES. But
how get that?
Through the PARTY SYSTEM?
NEVER. Who would be fool enough
TO trust an irresponsible party with
so much power?
That would DO party government
ownership. not public ownership.
Worse yet. TO get results. an &C.
tive threc.ffths vote MUST be cast
for tho idea.
And as parties divide and scatter
the believers in an idea instead OF
uniting them. they are worse than
useless for any good purpose.
Hence total abolition OF the party
system. and the substitution there
for OF systematic, automatic sys-

STARS STILL "CRIPS"
st. NIary's Has Hard Game Tomorrow
With Hays Normal.

st. Marys. Kan. Oct. 24.-Heinie
Grone and Tom Kelly are the last
hopes of st. Mary's in the game with
Hays tomorrow. The local followers
had been hoping against hope that
the offensive of the team would be
strengthened again by the reappear-
tomary positions behind the line. But
Lanes leg is still too sore to let him
practice and, although the doughty
Haskin has discarded his cane, he
walks without real assurance OF old
form strength, without which his en-
try into the game cannot take place.
Grone's toe has STAYED off defeat
more than once; it will undoubtedly
be called into play frequently Thurs
day. This toe of his, and Kelly's set
of them, form combination that nets
yards and yards every time yards are
needed. StankoWski himself last
years all-valley quarter, admitted as
much after his stiffness failed him
time and time again when he tried to
return punts in the st. Mary Camp

famed DIR. Wilmington, Harvard tackle
and line coach there for four years,
head coach of Wisconsin last season,
cast many a glance at Tommie as his
legs bore him down under Heinie's

his team would have been stronger for
