Dr.. Thomas Masaryk
Is For Prohibition

DR.. Thomas Masaryk, the great
slavonic statesman, now in America,
favors Prohibition. DR.. Masaryk says:
Clear thinking requires abstinence.
and without clear thinking no good
work can be done"
Drinking" he says, "is based upon
superstition and leads to superstition"
While in Chicago, recently, DR..
Masaryk, in an interview for the
American Issue, said: From my own
experience | know it is best not to
drink | have been an abstainer for
20 years. noticed the difference ,as
soon as stopped drinking. My nerves
were better and | could do more work.
If were not an abstainer could not
do the hard work am doing now"
Asked whether he favored wartime
Prohibition, DR.. Masaryk replied;

Every labor council and local, the
men and women in every factory and
shop should pass resolutions urging
immediate wartime Prohibition, not
because they favor dry as against wet,
but because they are patriots ready
for war. These resolutions should be
sent to both Senators and to ali the
Congressman of the state. And every
worker should write a card or letter
of like purpose to his Senator'S and
Representatives.

Labor is divided on the wet or dry
issue. So are farmers and doctors
and merchants and lawyers and
preachers.
But wartime Prohibition is not the
wet or dry question. 1t is the food
question. The liquor business con-
sumes food equal to five million
pounds of bread a day. Labor is a
unit against that.
1t is the fuel question. The beer
business requires millions of tons of
coal a year. 1t is said on good au-
thority that the coal used and the cars
required for its transportation would
have averted the heatless, and hence
wageless days, with millions of loss to
laboring men and their families. La
Dor takes an undivided stand against
that.
It is the transportation question.
Last year when uncounted tons of po-
tatoes, fruit and other perishablcs
rotted for want of cars, the beer bust
ness used 100000 cars and the loco
motives to haul them. Labor is
against that.
1t is the man-power question.
With the need for men far out-run-
ming the supply, with the mothers and
the maidens of the nation being mo-
bilized for the rigorous toll of the
farm, the manufacture, sale and trans
portation of beer requires 100000 men
in non-essential work. Trust labor
to oppose that.
It is the win-the-war question If
the Allied armies had been stronger
by ten per cent-probably by but five
per cent-history would have written
the story of the Spring drive" of 1918
on the other side of the page. The
men, money, food, fuel, cars, build
ings, profits, capital and business en-
terprise required in the beer traffic
would have furnished the men, money
and material to have strengthened our
lines to Gibraltar against which the
German waves of shock troops would
have dashed themselves to pieces. All
labor, wet and dry is for that.
And Congress should stop the
waste, and stop it NOW! Not in the
interest of temperance; not 10 speed
Prohibition; not to make men sober
by law; not for sntimentalism-BUT
! TO WIN THE WAR.
Our food conservation will remain
farce until Congress ceases to save
at spigot while the beer bung is wide
open. Let Congress first cast the FIVE

Trial Gro, For Louisiana.

The farmers of Washington
Parish are called upon to plant
800 acres in winter wheat and it
is hoped that every farm of not
iceable size will be represented
at the meeting to be held in the
court room at 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon.
This section of Louisiana is al
most identical in soil, drainage
and other natur raj condition with
the good wheat growing districts
of other states and it is believed
that the wheat crop will prove
entirely successful here. Wheat
can be ground into -four fit for
use, by the usual grist mill, but
this would be at the loss of the
by-products, brand and shorts;
but TO make a really successful
crop it is necessary to plant at
least 800 acres in the parish
which will justify the erection Of
-four mill to turn out the bes,
grade of pure -four and save the
shorts and brand too.
Just a few acres in wheat sue
cesfully cultivated, will supply
any family with sufficient flour
for the year, the advantage o5
this being too patent TO require
comment.
The possibilities, instructions
and full estimates of production
of this crop will be presented
| Friday at the called meeting
| of the farmers, when tbs hope(
a representative crowd will b'
present.

Patriots All.

If there should be a Stacker in
the community who, thru a mere
dlsinclination to work, has failed
to respond to the call to fill the
urgent orders for the Red Cross
this week, be sure you keep
quiet about it and don't tell on
yourself, for there have been so
many ardent patriots rushing in
to work that there has been no
time to note the slackers who
have staid away.
The call for 100 hospital gar
ments and 25 sweaters to be
made by August 10, necessitated
a rapid falling into line of the
workers, and the result is that
all sweaters have been contract
ed for, and s. of the 100 hospital
garments are under good head.
way, some of the faithful sewing
women each taking as many as
a half dozen garments.
Neither is the work completed
when this rush order is out, as
there is now on hand seven full
bolts of muslin waiting to be
made into sergical bandages.
Remember the patriot is not
the one who really wouldn't mind
doing Red Cross work if she had
no sewing or other work to do
for herself and no amusement to
fill her idle hours. The necessity
of fully supplying everything
needful for our wounded boys
must be put ahead even of our
household demands, and there is
work for even those who can
neither sew nor knit. Garments
must be assembled and wrapped
before taking away to sew; mat
erials must be distributed, finish
ed garments packed for shipping
and numbers of other duties
about headquarters which re.
