CHICKENS, BROKEN GLASS AND
LIQUOR.

Arrests for permitting chickens to
run at large and for throwing broken
glass In the streets outnumbered the
arrests for drunkenness during the
year 1917 in the city Of Eugene, with
population of 10000, says the Morn
ing Oregonian. The arrests for drunk
enness we're only eight for the entire
year. The score against chickens rum
ming at large and against broken glass
was ten. The total number Of offend
ers on the city's records for the year
was smaller than that reported for
many single days when the city had
saloons, or when the liquor traffic
fourished at Springfield three miles
away. Under the law permitting two
quart shipments every twenty-elght
days there were 25 arrests during 1916.
The last year with the open Saloons at
Springfield 266 arrests were made.

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE

Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams 1t is a
very difficult matter to do good farm
ing. But at present prices farmers
may hesitate to buy heavy draft horses
and mules, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are after all economical.
1t would be a good plan to get some
heavy mares and raise colts for sale
or to take the place of lighter animals
and old teams on the farm.

IN our TOWN.

In our small town there Is no bar:
no booze is sold, in flask or jar; no
signs announcing ice-cold beer upon
our long main street appear. When
we'd assuage our thirst, we quote the
motto, safety First" and to the near
est hydrant trail, and drink three
quarts Of Adams ale. Ten thousand
people, good and bad, are dwelling in
our lovely grad, and when the week of
toll Is done, and they set forth to
have some fun, not one of all that
cheerful throng goes seeking liquor,
red and strong; there is no liquor here
to seek, and SO the seeker'd be a freak.
OF course, 1t makes a strong man
groan, to have some money, all his
own, and find he cannot blow it in for
cool, refreshing, square-faced gin; and
often-times, In his despair, he buys his
children shoes to wear, or gives his
wife large green bill, which should
be in the brewers till. Or, driven
frantic by the law which bars the bug
Juice from his maw-a law devised by
some fool crank-he puts his money
IN the bank, or buys himself house
and lot, while he's with indignation
hot. The news our papers print is
stale; there are no doings at the jsal;
our people lead eventless lives; our
husbands seldom beat their wives; not
once year are prison hunks engaged

stupid life we lead, and much fear
