also have more rapid circulation

1T is NOT because l have
l not been offered a drink
that | am animadverting upon
the subject, but that early in life
| somehow conceived the idea
that when Nation or State said:
Thou shalt not" it was the 'du-
ty of all good citizens to SHALT
not" By a very casual observa-
tion it is easily apparent that the
boys have recently struck a SUPP
ply of "moonshine" that is ap-
preciably abundant. Now, | am
not beginning a TRADE against
the poor oppressed moonshiner,
nor a dissertation on moonshine.
What is troubling me is that it is
contrary to law to make and sell
moonshine, and that those poor,
benighted moonshiners may be
grievously SHINING through igno-
rance of the statute against it.
| know that to arrest and con-
vict them would work hardships
on them and their families, and
doubtless this natural feeling of
pity for the unfortunate causes
the authorities to let them 60 un-
punished. But laws are made to
be enforced, and this. taking the
surrounding circumstances into
consideration, put the officers in
a very trying attitude.
: The only way out of the situa-
tion, as | view it, to keep the
authorities from having to per-
form the soul-harrowing task of
arresting these poor, benighted
moonshipers and boot-leggers is
to 96olish 1.-THE law.

Be Courteous Always.

Next to honesty courtesy Is the best
asset. Remember few people or firms
have such monopoly Of products that
they can afford to be discourteous
There are thousands of people wht
prefer courteous treatment to su,
perlor goods. There is no reason why
they should not have both. But If on,
or the other must suffer the courteou,
chap will win out. That explains VIII,
the store with the highest grade o.
goods does not always have the
crowds. People like to be treated as
though they counted In the world:
economy. Whether they do ,or mo-
makes little difference. Let then
think they do and they will boost you
business to people who do. You Sc
cure their good will through courtes!
and they join the ranks of your adver
tlsers. Men of-buslness insight hav,
learned this long ago.

Retrospective and Perspective.
THERE are two things that,
l once experienced, a man
can never get away from, and
those things are running a coun-
try newspaper and being in love.
With the beginning of the new
year / get into the editorial har-
ness again, after a lapse of eight
years, having, together with Mr..
Willie Elan, Jr., leased the Lick
ing Valley Courier. 1t is not my
purpose in this article to outline
the policy of the new manage
ment. That will be done editor
tally next week. My purpose in
this is to give a general idea of
my newspaper experience that
the readers of the Courier may
know what to hope for-and fear
from the Courier.

the country newspaper is one of

The 25, 1000 country newspapers

ton. Most of them live up to
the Wattersonian theory that "A
newspaper must be a gentle

That they WELD an influence

The Food Administration wishes to
specially caution every one that we
have no sugar to waste. Lifting Of
restrictions does not mean that the
supply exceeds the demand; 1t means,
rather, that the American people have
proven their ability to limit their
usage without compulslon. II the old
wasteful customs Of ante-bellum days
should be resorted to, the good ac-
complished through six months Of
careful conservation would be over
come. Sugar Is obtalnable in sufficient
quantities, but we have no surplus.
Eat plenty, but wisely and without
waste.
Sugar has been selling at an average
OF ten cents pound. Had 1t not been
for the Food Administration the price

KENNETH Williams
SIGNS WITH BROWNS

Ken Williams of Grants Pass. for
mer Portland outfielder. who will
soiourn In the st. Louis Browns
outfield next season. breezed into
Portland yesterday arrayed In the
latest Broadway style OF glad rags.
Williams wore smile which cx-
tended from ear to ear. The cause
10? said grin was his receipt OF d
second contract from Bobby Quinn
business MANAGE OF the Brow hs,
who seems to be the whole works
back In the Mound City. Williams
latest contract called for few hun
dred bones more season than the
initial document mailed the Grants
Pass lad By Business Manager Quinn
and williams was so tlckied at the
increase that he hastily affixed his
signature to the document and mail
ed II back to 81. Louis.
II you listen to Williams there is
not chance in the world OF any
one keeping him out OF the Browns
outfleld unless he falls down and
breaks leg or an arm. This viii
he Ken's second trial In the big
show. He was with Cincinnati for a
while in 1916, but failed to realize
the value OF keeping In good physl-
cal condition. which caused HIS
banishment to the minors.
Ken liz tenth on the list OF ell
gibles to be drafted from Grants
Pass into Uncle Sans league. On
account of 80 many youngsters from
Josephine county having voluntarily
enlisted in the various branches OF
the service, II Is not at all probable
that Grants Pass will be called upon
to furnish any warriors for the draft
until late next fall, In which event
Williams will play the entire season
with the Browns.
!. Williams will leave tomorrow
night for Grants Pass, where he will
await instructions to report at the
Browns training camp. Houck and
Williams will make the long trip to
Shreveport together. 4 Oregonian.
