Speaking of the advanced price OF

"The wholesalers will pass the new
tax on the retailers, and the retailers
will pass 1t on to the consumers. They
must do this or go out Of business"

WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR MAINE.


1t is impossible to judge of the COM
plete efficiency Of prohibition by sur.
face Investigations. One has to know
what conditions were before prohibit
ton came to pass, and study Of con.
ditions in Maine previous to the adop.
ton Of the prohibitory policy-as re.
corded by those who witnessed the
change which came over the state six.
~ years ago when it outlawed the traf-
fic-leaves no doubt Of such transfer.
nation there at that time as has re-
Gently been taking place in such states
as Oregon, Washington, Arizona and
the states Of the South. BY all the ac-
counts Of those times the unmistak-
able signs of shiftlessness and poverty
due to drink were everywhere preva.
lent in Maine. But the one thing that
impresses visitors to the state more
than anything else today is the thrift
the spic-and-spanness Of buildings and
grounds, even to the white palinG
fences which testify to the effect that
the prohibition Of drink has had upon
the population. The savings habit pos
sesses Maine to startling degree.
Street urchins carry pennies to store
keepers and deposit them there until
the amount reaches 81, then the dollar
Is proudly carried to the savings bank.
And the comparative paucity Of crimes,
the smallness OF the state penitentlary,
the safety with which women and chill.
dren visiting the state in the summer
roam the woods and hills Of Maine, all
point the same prohibition moral.

Production in South.
GREATER EFFORTS NEEDED
SAYS SECRETARY HOUSTON

That the farmers of the nation
have generously responded to
the appeals for increased pro-
duction, and that much has al
ready been done to insure large
supply Of food and feedstuffs,
justifies no let-down in their ac-
tivities or in these of all agri-
cultural agencies. On the con-
trary, even greater efforts must
be put forth In the coming
months If we are to meet salts
factorily the domestic demands
and the needs of the nations
with which we are associated in
this struggle. There must be no
breakdown on the farms, no fail
ure of foods, feedstuffs, or cloth
ing. / cannot emphasize too
strongly the urgent necessity Of
doing everything possible to
bring about q still further in
crease in the production of all
essential commodities, particu-
larly of the staple crops and live
stock.-Secretary Houston.

"DRY SHAMPOO" is FORBIDDEN
British Hairdressers and Patrons Lat
est Victims Of Defense OF
Realm Act.

London.-The defense of the realm
act, which has been nicknamed "Dora,"
has now come in for abuse from hair
dressers, owing to new restrictions on
the use Of alcohol. This measure has
become necessary in consequence Of
the enormously increased demand for
munitlon and Red Cross needs. Dry
shampoos and hair lotions are all
threatened by the latest order or
ADora." AS the use Of methylated
spirit for burning also lie forbidden,
forced-draft oil stoves which cannot be
lighted except by the aid of spirit are
made useless.

Mississippi river 91z per cent, and the
section west Of the river 10 per cent.
The smallest share Of the total value
of the ID crops remains to the North
Atlantic states and to the Western
states, 715 per cent each.
The relative standing Of the various
divisions Of states in value Of chief
crops may be better understood when
it Is remembered that the corn crop OF
1917 has an estimated value of $4,054,-
100000, cotton lint 81, 49, 100000, hay
81, 359,O0O,0OO, wheat $1,307,O00O0O,
oats 81 ,061 100000; and that the North
Central states enormously produce
corn, wheat, oats, and hay, and the
Southern states cotton, with strong
support from corn, tobacco, sweet pO-
tatoes, and rice.

Get lid Of Rats and Mice.

In the United States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, factories,
stores and warehouses, In cars and on
ships, crops, poultry, and other prop
erty valued at more than $500, 100000
An amount equivalent to the gross
earnings of an army of 100000 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats and
mice on many farms would pay all OF
the farmers taxes.
States, communities and individuals
can help eliminate rats and mice:
By requiring that all new buildings,
wharves, and other structures be rat
proof; that existing buildings Of rat
proof construction be further protect
ed by having basement windows and
drains covered with screens, gratings,
etc.; and that existing buildings that
are not rat-proof be made so by re-.
modelling.
BY constructing sewers and drains
so that they will not provide entrance
and retreat for rats.
By insisting on greater cleanliness
about markets, stores, and generally
throughout cities, villages, and the
country districts.
BY threshing and marketing grain
early so that stacks win not furnish
harboring places and food for rats.
By removing piles of straw, trash.
and lumber which harbor rats in fields
and vacant lots.
By protecting the hawks, owls and
other natural enemies Of rats which
are not so destructive to poultry as
rats themselves.
By keeping well-trained dogs on
farms and about city warehouses.
BY keeping provisions which rats
and mice viii attack in rat-proof and
mouse-proOf containers.
BY destroying rats and mice sys-
tematically by poisoning, trapping and
by organized systematic hunts.

THE SIGNS IN OHIO.

In 1914 the wet majority in Ohio
was SS,142; in 1915, 55,4OS; in 1917,
1,197.
1t is significant that not only was
the wet majority of the state reduced
in remarkable degree, but the large
cities made great Cry gains. Even Gin
cinnati gained. Cleveland, Toledo,
Youngstown, Akron, Canton, all gave
prohibition majoritles, and the drys
carried Columbus, the capital city.
City dwellers as well as rural citizens
are beginning to realize that the IL
cense policy means economic waste.
1t Is easy to predict the result Of
Ohio's "next timer

PROTECT FOOD BILLIONS;
DESTROY RATS AND MICE

We have billions of bushels
of food worth billions Of dollars.
Let's protect these billions. We
need all of them. Let's not al
low rats and mice to take their
toll of millions this year-$200,-
100000 is their annual bill Of de-
struction. Trapping, poisoning,
and rat-prOot1ng buildings will
help reduce this enormous food
loss. Organized rat hunts by
communities are effective. In
one Ohio town a few years ago
each of two organized teams
killed more than 5000 rats, and
a dinner for all the hunters was
the penalty for the losing side.
Boards of trade, civic societies,
and citizens associations in
towns, and farmers and women's
clubs in rural communities
should find this matter worthy Of
their efforts. Farmers Bulletin
500 tells how individuals and
communities can fight rats and
mice. Write to the United States
department of agriculture for 1t.
