w. c. ~. Drive On.

The papers are full Of plans and
threats made by the Liquor forces to
undo, or hold up National Prohibition
Nobody can tell just how far, nor just
how long Satan can hinder, so we
must fight-fght to a victorious fin
ish in Kentucky next November. The
Campaign is on for State Wide Pro
hibition. There is no way to back
out, we must either win out, or lose
out. If we lose out, or win with a
small majority the liquor forces will
be encouraged, and claim that the
people do not want Prohibition, and
boot-leggers and blind tigers will
flourish.
Estate rights" sentiment is strong
in Kentucky, and the Federal law
would be slow to seek out and punish
offenders. So we MUST win next
fall, but we must work hard and fast.
So many from lack of information
have decided that the fight is over,
and the victory won. Do not be de-
ceived, but go to work in earnest.
The w. c. 7. U. drive is now on to
raise money to help fight. We must

A MISSIONARY
~
ENTERPRISE.

Every year the United States
ships tons and tons of chewing
gum to China and Siam and the
Malay Islands.
The question arises what
could possibly have created the
demand for such a commodity
in Hong-Kong and Bangkok

ies-good resourceful people.
They found that the natives,
whom they had come to Chris
tianize and civilize, had a
dreadful habit of chewing betel
nut. Betel nut is a connection
which contains small quanti-
ties of an injurious drug. Also
its continued use turns the teeth
jeb black.
In order to counterfeit the
effect of this deleterious habit
the ingenious missionaries, hav-
ing caught their natives, pro-
ceeded to cultivate in them a
taste for Wrigley's Spearmint
and corresponding di3inclina-
ton for betel nut. The natives
came, they chewed, they were
conquered, and much Of Amer
ica's chewing gum finds its final
destiny in the mouths of Siam
and Borneo.
We would suggest to these
excellent missionaries that hav-
ing worked this reformation in
heather lands, they would find
more worlds to conquer in
America. The field is a diff
ferent one, but 1t exists.
Who has not been driven al
most wild by the facial contor-
tions of the reckless gum-chew-
err? Who has not been repell-

GETTING DOWN TO
BRASS TACKS.

What the world needs now is
PEACE!
And by peace we do not
mean merely cessation of war,
but a peace of definite boun-
diaries, plainly defined rights,
restoration as nearly as posi-
BILE of ante-war conditions in
the countries so recently at
strife.
Since the last gun was fired
on the 18th of November, 1918,
a great deal of water has run
under bridges. A peace con-
ference has sat at Versailles,
discussing alternately Utopian
theories of internationalism
and selfish projects of national
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. France wants
an enormous indemnity FROM
Germany, and England, thru
fear of losing commercial adj
vantages, has not consented to
the course which will alone
make Germany once more a
producer and enable her to pay
an indemnity of any amount
whatever.
Meanwhile, as the days pass
Germany becomes more unset
tied, more self-extenuating
and more sullen and resentful.
1t is time for the peace con-
ference to cease considering
theories and begin on actuali-
ties-in other words, get down
to brass tacks!
What Germany and Austria
Hungary need is food and en-
ployment. All blockades
should be removed, that these
countries may receive food and
raw materials. The central
states, regardless of whether
they deserve it or not, should
be fed, given the chance to re-
sumo manufacturing, and so
receive an opportunity for the
restoration of normal condi-
tons.
Otherwise, while the peace
conference sits formulating
the principles and bylaws of a
league of nations, Bolshevism
may raise its ugly head I'M

the conference. II is a time
