Horrors OF Prohibition

Congressman Frederick Lands. of
Indiana. was one of the speakers
at the Creve Occur banquet in Peoria
on the evening of Washington's birth
day. He is a humorist In speech
in Chicago a few nights ago he told
of some of the horrors of prohibi-
tion," They were graphically de-
scribed. After assuring his hearers
that the dreadful condition" was i'm
inent. Mr.. Landis said:
"The whole hardware industry will
suffer. There will be no demand for
padlocks on prison cells, and / am
not taking into consideration the
great number of men who are en-
gagged in the business of making
brass knuCkles, but that is only one
OF the minor evils which will come
from prohibition.
Gamblers will not only be re-
duced to want. they will be forced
to go to work and stay there. The
industrial depression which will fol-
low will extend beyond the shores
OF this country. II will reach the
Philippines. When the multitude that
blocks the approach to the scaffolds
is reduced there will be great de-
crease in hemp rope market

the sitting room OF the future when
prohibition is accomplished. How
dreary II will be. nobody choking

Local Rival for Luther Burbank

Levina Matteson. who achieved
considerable fame and notoriety sew
eral years ago as the inventor of
remedial agent known as essence
OF ant sting" is once more In the
lime light-this time as the inventor
and developer of species of bean
that is the most wonderful producer
in the wide. wide world. Matteson's s
essence of ant sting" was guaran-
teed to be a sure cure for most of
the ills that flesh is heir to, and
this new species of bean is destined
to make even the natives OF the Ath-
ems Of America sit up and take no.
tice, as it propogates at the ratio of
about 1900 to |. according to the
observations of the inventor and dis
coverer, so there will be no danger OF
famine in the bean market In the
future.
Mr.. Matteson says his bean is
combination of the Kentucky Won
der. Burpees Saddle Wax and the
native Mexican bean and is most
prolific producer. covering the
ground with such a thick mat OF
vine that IL would be necessary to
plant the seed five feet apart in or
der TO give them the required room
for proper development. There are
eighty-fiye seeds to each ounce. and
Mr.. Matteson says he developed
fourteen ounces last year from one
lone bean. Not single bean will
be sold under any condition as Mr..
Matteson proposes to use his entire
stock in putting in crop during the
C ming season. and he is already an
ticipating great results from his
venture into a field which brought
fame and distinction to Luther Bur-
bank.

Viewing Condensiary Prospect Der

G, W. Milliken, c. C. Hearnsberg-
er and II. w. Allen went down to
Lamar last Tuesday and spent the
entire day digging up facts and fig
ures concerning the condensary in
dustry in that section, and all infor-
nation available that would be help
ful in establishing a similar industry
in La Junta. They say that every
body appears to be busy down at
Lamar, and that the town has all
the ear marks of prosperous and
thriving community. There has been
a wonderful change In business con-
ditions since the milk condensary
was established in that community,
and the farmers and business men
seem to be quite unanimous in Civ,
ing all the credit for improved con-
ditions to the inauguration and de-
yelopment of the dairy industry.
The condensary was established in
Lamar in January. 1914, and is now
entering upon its fourth year. The
original investment of the Helvetia
Company was 100000, but with the
beginning OF the fourth year is in
the neighborhood of sl50,O0O.
There were only 600 cows available
when the condensary was started,
while at the present time there are
about 2.500. The condensary has q
capacity at the present time to ham
die the product OF 10000 cows. The
condensary will pay $225 per hun
dred pounds for milk during the
month OF March.

milk two cows at once. and with
the three machines six cows are
MIXED every four minutes. Mr..
Wagner has an income OF about $50
day from his herd of Holsteins.
20 of which produce milk every day.
The average production of the herd
FOR one year was twenty-four pounds
of milk per day. per COW. Some OF
the cows produce as high as sixty
pounds OF milk day. and Others a
good deal less than the average
Getting rid OF the -productiyo
cows Is the big problem which the
dairyman Is confronted with. and to
this end some OF 'hem have organ
ized a milk tcstiag association and
have their cows tested and inspected
once a month by experts. II costs
