Deputy u s. Marshal Jim Dillon
has learned that it pays to advertise.
Since the publication OF the article
in Tuesdays Express concerning the
seizure of "The Finished Mystery"
and his warning that the possession
of this book is unlawful, about fifty
of the volumes have been turned in
to him and they are still coming.
Many of the books delivered to
Mr.. Dillon have had the pages alleg
ed to be seditious cut from them.
The deputy is informed that in many
instances the possessors have burned
the books. THE Finished Mystery
was placed under the ban by federal
authorities because Of the alleged
pro-German statements contained in

GROWING Calves for Beef.

In order that calves may be qualified
for the production of baby beef, that
is, fattened and matured for market
between one and two years Of age, they
must have quality and good finish.
Tho consumer does not want the un-
finished yearling, and the calf that
does not have quality win not take on
Il high finish. Neither viii the calf
lacking in carly-maturing qualities

of the feeding period, but instead it

sumcs for growth. Tho feeder should
keep this in mind and first determine
whether his calves are good enough to
compete on the fat yearling market,
and If he decides that they arc not,
they should be finished with coarse
feeds and marketed later.

There is distinct tendency for
farmers to feed more barley to hogs
than in the past. owing to the great

movement may result in the develop
ment Of barley as a great hog feed like

prohibition question and the revenue
question would be presented side by

The drys should mot neglect or un-

Taxes are heavy, and getting heavier,
and taxes are rarely welcome. But
here is case whore they will be re-
ceived with enthusiasm by those called
upon to pay. They will represent .
continuation Of opportunities FOR busi-
ness and profits. The breweries and
the wine presses will 60 ahead ut top
speed, and find q larger market than
ever for their products.
If prohibitioa loses in this test it
will become at once an issue in the
congressional campaigns. It has fought
q great fight, and is 50 near goal it
could not permit reverse to 60 for
any time unchallenged. And if it
loses in the congressional campaigns it
will be an issue, and q very aggres-
sive and important one, two years
hence, when not only new Congress,
but a successor to Woodrow Wilson,
will be chosen, and when maybe a rec
ord vote will be polled.

An Active Chairman.

Chairman Hays Of the republican ma
tional committee is Visiting around
and getting acquainted" He attended
his party's state convention in Maine.
He has made party call in Massa-
chusetts. He was at Saratoga the other
day, and addressed the republican con
vention there. Now he is en- route to
Lincoln, whore on Tuesday the repub-
ieans Of Nebraska win meet on party
business.
This is good idea Mr.. Hays when
selected Nor his present Office only .
few months ago was stranger in na-
ional political circles. His elevation
to national post was due to success
achieved in his home field Of Indiana.
He had proved competent and faithful
over few things, and so was set over
many.
He finds il the national field sit-
uation somewhat analogous. to the sit
uation existing in the local field when
he took charge. The Hoosier repub.
icans had been. torn with factionism
for several years, and the party was in
= bad way. He set himself the task Of
bringing the factions together, and
succeeded. Then the state returned to
the republican column, and is there to-
day.
There is republican faetionism in q
number Of states Some Of it is bitter.
Some Of it appears to be almost un-
manageable. But, If possible, all Of it
must be conquered before, or by, 1920
if the party is to return to power.
It is q mans job. and Mr.. Hays is
a young man, and . stranger. His alert.
ness, therefore, is exhibited none too
soon. To be Of service he must meet
local leaders and study local condi-
tons.
The national committee, he sees
clearly enough and declares frankly
enough, is not charged with nominat-
ing, but with electing, candidates. On
these visits he is making, contests over
nominations are not enlisting his at
tention. His work will come later.
But now is the time to prepare for it,
and he is preparing.
Last faiI and winter a suggestion was
occasionally thrown out here and there
that it might be good politics for 1920
to lot the democrats retain control OF
Congress; that the responsibility would
be heavy, and their chances to blunder
in legislation good. But a different
notion now obtains. The republicans
are striving earnestly for both Senate
and. house, and with full knowledge
Of the fact that they have many diff
ferenees smong themselves to adjust.

Beverages Reached, and Passed

Beverages Reached, and Passed.
Mr.. Rainey, acting chairman, yester-
day, in the absence Of Mr.. Kitehin, gave
out the days report respecting the
ways and means committees work on
the revenue measure. This is taken
from it:
1--WE considered the tax on bever-
ages, and did nothing about it, except
to postpone action until the rest of
the bill is disposed of, due to the fact
that if rates are increased there may
be Withdrawals of liquor before the
bill goes into effect, and we want to
avoid that. One hundred and thirty
million gallons of whisky are subject
to withdrawal for beverage purposes
and 100000 gallons can only be with
drawn for other purposes. The COM
mittee does not know whether it is 60
ing to increase the tax or not, on ac-
count Of the temperance proposition
arising and the possibility Of the coun-
try going bone dry"
The committee will not know whether
the country is going bone dry until
after the Senate has voted on prohibi-
tion. That proposition viii be tho first
business laid before. the Senate when
Congress reassembles, and . vote Is
promised. Both vets and dryS express
confidence in the result Il prohbi-
tion Is defeated, beverages win be laid

Germany's Prison Recruits.

A German prisoner taken by the
Americans declares that he was re.
leased from prison in Germany three
weeks before to join the army, and
that other lawbreakers have been given
their t1iberty" on the same terms.
From q dead Gefman soldier papers
were taken showing that he, too, had
been freed from prison July II, to 60
to the front, with his old sentence still
hanging over him.
Germany must be in hard straits for
man power thus to draw upon her
prisons for soldiers. It is sign Of
the last stage Of recruitment and can
not fail to give cheer to the allies as
an indication that the enemy is reach
ing the end Of his string. Such men
cannot be good soldiers, although they
may fight desperately under compul-
sion. They are far moro apt to grasp
the first opportunity to surrender.
The morale Of an army composed
even in small part Of criminals is nec-
essarily lower than that Of any other
army. There may be at this moment
IN jai1s.or penitentiaries Of the United
States men who would make . good
showing IN the ranks Of our fighting
force, with the best spirit and the ut
most fidelity, but they could not safely
be drafted for service. The only pos
sible way to put them in the ranks
without danger Of Generalization
would be to place their recruitment
upon strictly voluntary basis. Even
50, the tender Of liberty in the ranks
in exchange for their confinement for
lawbreaking would be unfair to the
men of clean records who have gone
into the Army as . matter Of good citi-
zenship.
