Prohibition Sweeps On.

The prohibition wave sweeps on in
states and nation. The greatest sur
prise is Indiana. A strict prohibition
bill has passed both houses, the senate
vote being 80 to IL and the house 70 to
%. The bill becomes effective, after
signing by the governor, on April 2,
1913.
The liquor interests in that state,
after controlling the Democratic state
convention, then voted the Republican
ticket and thus set the Democratic
party free from obligation, and con-
siderable number joined the Republi-
cans and put the measure through by a
large majority.
Inc amendment has been submitted
in Wyoming and is sure to be SUBJ
mitted III Utah, New Mexico and Flor
ida. In Minnesota the bill has passed
one house. Submission is also under
consideration in Illinois and Wisconsin.
At the national capital the Senate
has already passed the bill making the
District of Columbia dry, and 1t will
pass the House before adjournment
Ii vote can be secured on the ma
tional amendment it will show a large
gain over the vote two years ago, and
it is quite sure to be submitted by the
next Congress. The cause goes from
victory to victory. The Commoner.

Get Ready For a COM
munity Fair Next Fall

To some readers it may seem very
early to begin talking about COM
munlty fair next fall, but it's really
none too soon. Just as soon in the new
year as possible the list of prizes should
be announced, and Mr.. Farmer, and
Mrs Farmer, and the farm boy and
girl, should begin laying plans to walk
away with this or that particular prize
next fall.
And every neighborhood ought to
have community fair. Here is letter
right now from one of our friends that
shows what almost any neighborhood
may do: >..~..---.-.-
Thicketty Mountain Schoolhouse for
our community fair Thanksgiving Day
men, women, children and babies
from six neighboring school districts.
In the livestock exhibit the mules, cows,
hogs and chickens were all of the best.
Fancy work, canned products and other
articles of the home were exhibited by
the ladies and girls and were most
creditable. The agricultural products
were a treat to look upon. Nineteen
babies were in the baby show.
""Then we had Thanksgiving exer-
cises, three excellent brief addresses,
a spelling match, a cake walk, athletic
stunts-and a dinner unrivaled in guam
tity and quality.
Before the day was over, the people
voted to make the Thanksgiving COM
munity fair an annual event. Mace
donia school was quick to offer for the
meeting place, and so all the schools
and communities present are to join
her in holding the next one at Mace
donia school-house.
In making uL prize list for your
community fair, don't forget to ask
town merchants, bankers, etc., to con-
tribute also. Nearly every progressive
city business man gives away consid-
cradle fraction of his income Cor public
purposes anyhow, and since he gets
much of his income from the country, he
ought to give to country as well as city
schools, churches, Institutions, cele-
brations, etc. The Progressive Farmer.

As Planting Time Draws Near.

AS the time draws near for planting
and the farm manager carefully con-
slders the prospects Tor marketing, the
more will ne be impressed with the
Importance of feed and food crops.
Those who reason logically will not let
their own personal preferences have
anything TO do with their decision as to
the crops to be planted. They will be
guided solely by the probable markets
for the money crops and the needs Of
the family for food and feed for live
stock.
The opportunity for marketing cot
ton at good prices will depend upon
several things, but especially will the
acreage planted in food and feed and
that left for cotton have much to do
with prices. That is, we as cotton
growers may risk large acreage, in
cotton or We may plant a small area
and take no chances. Every individua al
must meet this question and act upon
it according to his own judgement.
But leaving the question of cotton
acreage alone, 1t will be the judgement
of many that liberal acreage had best
be planted in foo and feed mcrops so
that the manager will be able to live
regardless of whether or not the cot
ton market is satisfactory in the fall

The Occupation for Many,

There is probably no other occupation
in which the proportion of native-born
Americans to other people is SO great
as in farming. A statistican points out
that of the 6,361, SOP farms in the
United States, IS per cent. are oper-
ated by native white persons; I4.5 per
cent. by negroes and other non-white
persons, mostly of American birth; and
only 1915 per cent. by foreign-born
white persons. kansas Industriaiist.
Farming, more than any other occu-
patton, represents the American people.
1t is typical of our history and GUS
toms; it is the occupation for large
per cent. of the people.
Rural society has always reflected
the purity of Americanism. While the
number of people of foreign birth on
farms is increasing, there is still
larger per cent. of native inhabitants
farming than in any other occupation.
As a general rule, people OF foreign
birth when they live on farms soon be-
come truly American in ideals and sem
timent.
Rural people have far greater re-
sponsibilities in their ideals and senti-
ments than most of them believe. Any
State is fortunate when it has large
per cent. Of rural citizens. Not only is
this desirable for the production of the
peoples food, but it is also favorable
for vigorous, virile manhood and wo-
manhood. There is no other place quite
as favorable for health, industry and
longevity as the farm, and fortunate
are boys and girls who are reared in
its environment. Farm and Ranch.

A REMARKABLE THING.

In last weeks issue there appeared
an announcement from one of the gar
ages to this effect; that they had just
found out how to repair STORAGE
Batteries and had installed the equip
ment and gave it to the public as dis
coveIy. Well some concerns in this
town are just always one year behind
We installed the entire equipment
over one year ago and have successfully
taken care of the Battery work in this
parish, including some of their batter
les. as well as having batteries shipped
US from MarksvIlIe and other places to
be repaired. They announce that upon
investing, they have decided that THE
PRES-TO-LITE Battery is the best;
we knew that long ago and have our
cars equipped with these batteries. Do
their cars use these batteries? Ano-
Their thing, did you ever stop to think,
whether man can become a battery
expert by spending few days looking
on in some Battery Laboratory? If so,
thea each automobile owner can be
cla5sed as such. We also have always
loaned a battery to the automobile
owner when repairing his and DID
NOT CHARGE HIM 25c A DAY.
Our Battery department is in the
hands of an expert, who has been in
the automobile business eight years,
not one year, and who has been repair
ing BATTERIES and ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT ever since it has become
part of the automobile, and not just
spent few days somewhere looking on.
We will not try to tell you about the
intricacies of the battery for if YOU
knew, you would not need a repair
man, but we will tell you that we take
pleasure in inspecting your battery reg
ularly, keeping same up to standard for
you, free of charge.
