State Protects War Gardens.

The supreme judicial court of Mas.
sachusetts held, in the case of Com
monwealth VS.. Gallata, that where a
landlord terminated tenancy at will
of city lots, the tenant was entitled to
growing crops as against the landlord
and subsequent lessee with knowl-
edge of the>first tenancy.
The court said: 1.-The general prin-
ciple is that where a person is in pos
session of land under title that may
be determined by an uncertain event
not within his control, IL is essential
10 the interests of agriculture that
such termination of his lease shall
not prevent him reaping what he has
sown and we see no reason why a
tenant should be denied the right TO
emblements by the act of the land
lord where the crop is raised on a
city lot rather than on farm"

WHAT VIKINGS FRENCH HEART
Highly Cultivated Fields Cause
Of Real Agony. 80

Agricultural loss is not confined to
northern France. The very high level
of intensive productivity Of the soil In
general was everywhere due to two
factors which war has largely elimi-
mated: human labor and chemical fer
tillzation. Indeed, the spectacular fea-
lures of agricultural destruction In the
departments evacuated last spring
gaping shell holes. crumbling trenches,
barbed wire trailing like some rusty
snake across the fields, even the fruit
trees cut down to the level Of the soil
look less sinister to the French eye
than the miles and miles, the thou
sands and thousands of acres of rich
wheat and beet sugar land untouched
by fire and sword, yet grown waist
high with the thistles, brambles and
every other sort of pestilential weed !;
the apple trees full of great punches OF
mistletoe. Before the war French
farmer was hailed into court by his
neighbors and fined for allowing this
ties in his fields and the mistletoe in
his orchard-remember this and you
will get an echo of the tragic resOn-
ance that the phrase "terres abandon
nees" has In the French heart.-New
Republic. -

UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT
Frenchmen Gathered In Groups to
Watch American Who Was
Actually Drinking Water.

william Allen White tells in the
Book News Monthly how thirsty he
became for water, just common, plain
water, on motor journey through
France, where IL was. not safe, for
sanitary reasons, TO drink the water
of the region. The coffee did not taste
good and the wine tasted like diluted
vinegar and looked like pokeberry
ink. II seemed only good to put in
fountain pens. Finally, at the end Of
week he and his party stopped at a
hotel where there was bottled water
brought from the American commits
sary department. When he came to
the table he ordered a bottle and this
Is what he says Of &c:
"Try going seven days on pokeber-

note the reaction. Your veins will be

They brought another, 1t disappeared
They brought third. The walters in
the hotel were attracted by the sight
No Frenchman ever drinks water with
his meals. and the spectacle of this
American sousing himself with water
while he ate was a rare sight. The
walters gathered in the corner to
watch me. Henry saw them, and mo-
toned toward me, and tapped his fore
head. They went and brought other
walters and men from the bar. He
was rare bird; this American 60

peered indoors, through windows and
stood in the dining room corners to
watch the fourth bottle go down. And
when at the end Of the meal the Amer

perate man at least commands respect,

Bank Responsible for Error.

An interesting decision has been
made by the Missouri court of appeals,
relative to holding the sender Of a
telegram repoRsible for mistake In
Transmission. A Wyoming bank tele-
graphed a brokerage house, offering a
carload of potatoes at $1.35 hundred
pounds. The telegraph company's mis-
take In transmission made the price 35
cents Il hundred. The supposed offer
was accepted by the brokers and the
potatoes were shipped. When payment
was rendered at the rate Of 35 cents
hundred the Wyoming bank refused to
accept the money and brought suit
for the full amount. The Missouri
court of appeals ruled that the bank
had made the telegraph company its
agent I'm forwarding the telegram and
that as the brokerage house acted in
good faith IL could not be compelled 20
pay more than the amount quoted in
the message.

PROuuEITION Is COMING.

II looks at last as though john
Barleycorn is doomed. His knell
has been sounded from the capitols;
his death warrant is issued from the
hands of the high judiciary, and the
blood hounds of the law are on his
trail. His fate is sealed and he
must go. But with his passing will
vanish many a time-honored prece-
dent and custom. No more will the
leather-lunged orator proclaim the
evils of drink from the towering
platform, while his sleeping audi
ence dreams of clinking glasses and
flowing stems. No more will the
editor, with feet cooked at a right
angle to the rising sun, write
screaming editorials on the curse of
liquor. We must be kind to the
memory of the dead. Hallowed and
sacred is the spot where even the
evil repose in their last long slum-
Der. Politicians will have to invest
a new coin with which to buy their
offices, editors must select new vic
tim for their shafts, and orotors
turn to a field more productive in re-
suits for their labor. For liquor is
passing. Its vice-like jaws have
too long gripped the public, like the
monsters of old when youth and
beauty was a sacrificial gift to the
dragons hungry NOW. Its coils are
loosening, Already the knights err
rant, like the heroes of other days,
are driving the many-headed mon
ster from his labyrinthine lair. The
liquor traffic must go with all its ev-
il influence.
1t is we'll. Many and sad are the
medicines of the woe and suffering
it has engendered, of lives it has
broken and the homes made desolate
and sad. Even those in high places,
who tired the primrose path of dali
lance and idly cavil at an idle day,
have yielded up the richest jewels of
honor and wealth and sacrificed all
to the green-eyed god of thirst.
And even those who are leaders of
the minds of men have fallen vic
tins to its snares. An example Of
this recently came under our no.
tice. A man who occupies a place
of prominence who sways the opin-
len, of hundreds CT his fellow-ci;.-
zals, was recently sent to a neigh
boring town on a mission of import
ance which demanded an immediate
trimming with royal red eye"
tempted, the bottled spirits called,
and he fell. His mission was appar-
emily forgotten. Reports came OF
a fiying-joy-ride, speeding down the
pike, a car turned turtle in a ditch
and trip back to the city. We do
not accuse this gentleman or the
hundreds of others which we could
cite, of wrong intentions. 1t is only
the evil temptation too strong to
bear, which wrecks so many lives.
Yes, we are glad prohibition is
coming. 1t will save the public
many an annoyance and the fair
name of some will be untainted. 1t
is coming like the gathering of the
clans. All the adverse forces can
not halt the invincible cause. Its
momentum is irresistible. Let il
come.

PREACHER HELD ON
ESPIONAGE CHARGE.

Bowling Green, Ky.-The Rev. j.
w. Wheeler, of Glasgow Junction,
Barren County, was held to the Dec
ember grand jury of the Federal
Court by United States Commission
err Bryon Renfrew, charged with vio-
lating the espionage act. He gave
bond in the sum of $1,000.
Four prominent citizens testified
that the defendant said that this war
was an unrighteous one, and that if
the German soldiers did ravish the
Belgian women it was no more
than the American soldiers had done,
as he had heard of two soldiers at
Camp Taylor attacking girls in
Louisville. He denied making
these statements. Mr.. Wheeler is a
Baptist minister and for several
years has held pastorates in this
county.
