THE ISSUE IS "BONE" DR.

Al last the people of the United
States are coming face to face with
the question of prohibition that pro-
hibits. The fellow who wants prohi-
bition for others, while ne is able to
get his nip" when ne wishes, soon
must do without his nip" in a pro-
hibition state.
Your Uncle Samuel has shouldered
the Job Of prohibiting liquor in pre-
hibition states. Bootleggers do not
monkey with the U. S. like they do
with local authorities. There is no
question that the amendment to the
postofhce bill will become law, and that
every state with any sort Of statewide
prohibition will become bone dry, De-
cause federal laws are enforced.
There will be no misunderstanding
now Of what is being voted for when
the prohibition amendment to the Nov
Mexico constitution is voted on. n
the saloons are voted out, intoxicants
for personal use also will be voted out.
The federal government has made the
issue complete, as the prohibitionists
desire it should be.

and one Canadian province, attended
this conference in person and the gen
eral opinion of the sponsors of the con-
ference was that it has now become a
real farmers forum. They were not
a set of visionary theorists, but sci
entitic practical farmers and stock
men. $4,000 whole milk producers
were represented in the formation of
a National Federation of Whole Milk
Producers.
Organized Grain Growers, repre-
senting 100000 actual tillers of the
soil, gathered there to discuss the cost
of comparatively marketing their pro-
ducts. The biggest men in the live
stock business from Arizona, Colo
RADIO, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, and other
states, representing $4,000 stockmen,
were there.
The conference adopted many good
resolutions, ONE Of which would have
seemed revolutionary a few years ago.
The issues c~rystalized into resolu-
tons are National issues of the Amer
lean farmer. The fact former con
ferences have always brought Nation
al legislation of Importance to the
farmers Of this country, make me
very hopeful that our resolutions will
not be ignored this time.
The Office of markets Of the depart
ment OF Agriculture, the Federal Farm
Loan Act, the Grain Standards Act,
and some other important measures,
were recommended by our conference
in both 1914 and 1915.
A very strong delegation Of five
members headed by Elwood Mead, pro-
fessor of rural institutions in the Uni
