The MEN LARGELY
LEAD GOING "LUNY''
FACTS DISPROVE OLD BELIEF
ABOUT FARM WOMEN. INSAN-
ITY IN CITIES GREATER.

The oft repeated statement that
farm women are unduly driven to the
hospitals for insane by country life
gains no support from facts marshal
ed by j. O. Rankin, of the University
of Nebraska college of agriculture
From every 100000 of their popu-
lation the rural communities SEND
Ala persons to asylums, while the
cities send "a, or more than twice as
MANY. The larger the city the greater
the number sent. 1t ranges from W.
in cities of $500 to 10000 up to
1928 in cities of 100000 and over:
The feeble minded are not included
in these figures, as they constitute a
separate group.
More Men Than Women "Luny.
In both city and country a larger
proportion of men than women are
sent to institutions for the insane
Farm women seem to be going 70
these hospitals in smaller proportion
than any other class considered. The
rates for city men are 94.3 and city
women tbs, those for country men
only ASP, while country women stahd
lowest of all with 37.3.
"These figures do not lend much
supnort to the view that farm women
are driven to insanity by solitude
and drudgery," Mr.. Rankin SAID
SNeither are the differences to De
explained solely on the assumption
that the rural home furnishes a more
natural and healthy life for women

"The lower number of women sent
IN hospitals for the insane is not maj
nroof of the lower tendency CT Wo-
men to insanity. 1t may result IN part
from the greater ease of controllIhg

FEDERAL FORCES
WILL SIT ON The Lid
BEING Modified TO ENFORCE
PROHIBITION. FLYING SQUAD
RON IN EACH DISTRICT.

The battle to make the United
States alcohol-tight under the en-
forcement act for war time and con-
stitutional prohibition began last
week, when an army of more than
10000 officials sprang to attention
under the leadership of John F. Kra-
mer, newly appointed federal prohi-
: bition commissioner.
The task of perfecting the tempo
rary machinery, set up on Oct. 18th
when the enforcement act went into
effect over President Wilson's veto,
has been perfected Department com
missioners have been named to act
as chief lieutenants to the commits
sioner. Forty-eight state commission
ers will be named from day to day.
1t is also planned to add to the per-
sonnet of the big force of inspectors
or "dry" law detectives, who will be
organized into flying squadrons with
headquarters in each of the nine de-
partments.
Army Ready to Act.
Under tactics now mapped out for
the prohibition army, the flying
souadrons will be in readiness to
swoop down on any sectors where
| bootleggers are operating. This
army is backed by 100000 appro-
priated by congress to enforce the
| law during the first year of national
prohibition. Reinforcements Will be
available July 1, 1920, according 10
officials of the internal revenue bu-
reau, who assert that congress then
will make new appropriation. OIL
Gals plan to ask for $4,OOO,OOO for
the second fiscal year.
These prohibition officials fully
understand that the law now is beng
violated openly in many sections OF
the country where, they are told, llq-
uor is being sold even in ice cream
parlors. That bootleggers are work
ing almost unmolested in many sec
tons of the country also is admitted.
The Powerful Machine.
Commissioner Kramer has a pow
, erful machine that will assist HIM IN
keeping the lid clamped tightly on
"booze." He has the assistance OF
100 federal executives, "a internal
revenue collectors, 800 deputy col
lectors. 800 federal district attorneys
and their assistants, who Will con-
duct prosecutions.
Commissioner Kramer is confident
that the enforcement act will be rig,
idlv enforced. He said the United
States is going to be "dry," instead
of "half dry" or make-believe dry.
Headquarters in Washington.
Following a conference with gov
eminent officials Commissioner Kra-
mer went to Washington, where ne
established headquarters in the treas
! ury building. His position will pay
IS7.5OO a year. The Ohio lawyer VIII
be directly responsible to the internal
revenue bureau in enforcing prohlbl-
! ton. RI
Commissioner Kramer, who is 80
wears old, is a product of an OHIO

when you first reported for duty with
the regiment, the records established

your many deeds of valor and kind

Vlded refreshments Tor ABOUT twice as
many guests as were present, so the
problem of what to do with the re-
mainder of the delicious doughnuts
nuts themselves though they were lit
tie heavier than the holes therein.
1t always takes woman to solve
a difficult problem and Mrs. Burts
cheerfully offered to eat the remain
ing doughnuts. The lieutenant could
MT permit a woman to perform this
difficult task unaided and frankly stat
ed his belief that it was a "folorn
hope, but never being known to re-
treat since he joined the army, he Of
;fered to eat them himself.
+ Right then and there Mrs. Burts
challenged the lieutenant, saying she
could eat more than he could and
would drink the leftover pitcher of
cream besides.
The lieutenant accepted the chal-
lenge, provided the one who ate the
most doughnuts was to have the pitch
er of cream, and the two tackled the
pile with glare of defiance.
When the contest was ended it was
found that Mrs. Burts had eaten sew
enteen doughnuts while the lieutenant
had taken care of three times that
many and there was more on the plat
ter. He then took the pitcher of
cream and calmly departed for home
and supper.
1t has been suggested that the lieu
tenant missed many meals while do
ing advance signal work with the Am
erican army in France, and he was
just making up for lost time.
In the putting contest we are told
that Mrs. l. J. Belcher showed the
most ability as putter but became
careless at the last and thereby lost
the prize for herself and Mr.. Louden.
That shows that you must not relax
until the prize is won, the final stroke
often being the one that wins.
On Friday an elderly gentleman was
observed off in one corner taking a
lesson, and we understand he promises
to become a good golfer, though he is
now 73 years of age. Golfng is good
for the old and young and the more
you play the better you will like it.
Just think of Ernest Meres becom-
ing an expert. He admits it himself,
but he says he is expert on chopping
wood and he wanted to borrow the
golf teachers pet club thinking that
would make him expert at swatting
the pill, However, the teacher Slipped
him club, not his pet club, and Mr.
Meres didn't know the difference. W.
are told Mr.. Meres is amphibious, o.
was it ambidextrous? Anyway, HI
can swat the pill equally we'll left
