Peoria Ex-Distiners
Are Buying Corn
to Make Sugar

Press dispatches yesterday carried
a report that three OF the largest dis
tillcries in Peoria have already com
pleted arrangements for converting
the plants, with moderate expenditure,
into corn sugar factories. A new
process will be used which will add
considerably to the sugar supply and
will as consequence bring down the
price of sugar.
This will use up the corn which farm
crs have been growing for the dis
tllcries, and thus remove another ar
gument against Prohibition.
Industry can always be depended
upon to adjust itself to conditions.
Any change is contemplated with
alarm by conservatives, but the alarm
is seldom justified, and in nine cases
out of ten the change proves for the
better in he end.-Springfeld News
Record.

Laws, Public Sentiment
and Prohibition

1t Is an Interesting feature OF the
relatively small chorus which is busy
singing the impossbiity OF enforcing
the provisions OF the Prohibition
amendment that it is those who least
wish to have the new law put into
effect thai arc loudest in their lamcn-
tation OF the inability OF the governs
ment to achieve it.
1t is public sentiment that secures
laws and it is public sentiment that
causes their enforcement. If the
count of votes tells anything in the
history OF the ratification of the fed
cral amendment it is this thing, that
the people OF the United States. not
the government as an organization,
have forced Prohibition upon the ma
ton. II it had been the government
which had tried to force Prohibition
upon an unwilling people the result
might be the wholesale refusal To obey
the law that is predicted for the new
amendment. But with the people in
large majority behind the amendment
there is little reason to fear any con-
spicuous disposition to seek to cvade
the law-Evanston Ncws-IndeX.

BOOZE And AUTOS

says one motor car builder who is
also bit of philosopher;
"Old John Barleycorn is getting
ready to take the count By ncxt July
he'll be groggy and by January l.
1920, the average citizen will not be
able to fill thimble What will this
mean for the automobile industry? A
great deal, viz:
|. There will be few motor car ac-
cidents, because rum has been at the
bottom of most disasters.
= There will be fewer arrests for
speeding, because it is rum that makes
the auto go.
IS. The pest of the roadhouscs and
their bars will be removed thereby
enhancing touring for those who
don't care for barroom lettering and
the pursuits thereof
q. Billions of dollars spent for
booze will be available for other pur-
chases. The motor car industry will
benefit by this.
$. There will be more alcohol to put
into anti-freeze mixtures-not for the
human system, but the automobiles
system.-Chicago Tribune.

PROHIBITION WILL
PROHIBIT

Prohibition will prohibit, or the
criminals who violate it will find
homes in our pcnitentiaries. Prohibi-
ton will prohibit because the majority
of the people of the United States
favor it, and there arc many who,
while not favoring Prohibition, do
favor the enforcement of law. The
Bolshevists whose emblem is the red
flag and whose spirit is alcohol will
discover that their spirit has been
taken from them, and their emblem
without spirit is meaningless. After
the first throes of the dying spirit OF
alcohol, which has ruled America for
years, has passed, Prohibition will
prove panacea for Bolshevism, for
Bolshevism is nurtured at the breast
of poverty and crime which through
all time has sprung i'll a majority de-
gree from the degrading effects of
system" ."-Chicago Tribune.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

Suppose right now the Anti Saloon
League here in Ohio and throughout
the country should disband, what
would the result be? Inside of "a
hours the liquor camp would be the
busiest place between the two oceans.
Wet propaganda would food the state
and nation Plans would at once be
formulated, looking to the undermin-
ing of dry sentiment and the repeal
of dry laws. Who would plan to meet
the hired attorneys of the vets in the
courts? Whose business would it be
to see that proper legislation is en-
acted and defended How would dry
sentiment be Systematically sustained?

THEN AND NOW

Twenty-Five years ago the
Anti-Saloon League was an in
significant organization, un-
known except in the immediate
neighborhood of its inception.
Today it "crystallizes" public
sentiment, translates this into
law and with microscopic vision
sees that the law is enforced.
From few church workers in
Ohio the number of voters who
are willing to lend their inhu-
ence and cooperation to fight
the Leagues battles has in
creased to many millions.-New

CHOLERA KILLS
FEWER HOGS

According to records of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
for the thirteen months from April
1, 1918. to April 80, 1919, hog choi-
era killed 2,815,004 hogs, valued at
$50, 042 ,688.16, in the United States
This is the lowest loss by numbers
for similar period in the live stock
history OF the United States, but on
account of the high price of hogs the
monetary loss was heavy. For ex-
ample, during the year ending March
81, 1913, hogs numbering 6.064,470
and worth s5S.s33,653 died from
cholera while the next year the dis
ease took 6,s04.S2O hogs worth s67,-
6s7,461.
! Department experiments show that
timeliness in vaccinating hogs against
cholera is all important. When ex-
posed hogs were vaccinated, while
still apparently healthy, losses am
ounted TO only per cent. but when
vaccination was deferred until the
animals showed external signs OF
sickness. losses averaged nearly 20
per cent. This shows that the man
who puts off the preventive treat
ment until his hogs are sick with
cholera stands only about one chance
in seven of preventing fatal results.
1t is important, also, to maintain hog
yards and barns in clean and sani-
tary condition.

ROAD BUILDING Is
IN FULL SWING

Since early in 1919 there has been
a steady increase each month in the
Federal aid business in the Bureau
Of Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. States
in all sections OF the country are fill
ing their project and receiving allot-
ments. The road building era is in
full swing and it would seem that
the end is not yet All indications
point to greater records in the month
Immediately to come.
Based on complete reports from
A of the states cash expenditures on
the rural roads and bridges of the
United States for the calendar year
1918 amounted TO S2S6.09S,193. To
this should be added the value of
statute aud convict labor which can
not be fixed with any great degree OF
accuracy but probably amounted TO
not less than $4,000, 900, thus max
ing the grand total expenditures for
the year $500. 900 900. This total
is made up of the actual expendi-
lures for such items as labor, mater
ials, supervision and administration
directly connected with the construc-
ton, improvement and upkeep OF
public roads and bridges outside the
limits OF incorporated towns and cit
les and does not include any item
for sinking fund payments or re.
demption and interest on road and
bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unpre.
cedented condition In practically all
lines OF highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion in the amount of heav,
truck traffic on public roads and ar
unprecedented shortage in regard Il
road materials, labor and ready
funds, but also decided increase IN
maintenance work, which was, how
ever, partially offset by decreas,
in the amount OF new construction.

SHEEP AND LAMBS
MAKE RECORD

July receipts OF 457,619 sheep and
lambs were the largest on record for
that month at the Chicago Union
Stock Yards, exceeding by / ,906 an
imals the former record of July 1912.
according TO the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture This years
run exceeds that of July, 1918, by
.117,277 animals. The increase is at
tributed to the mild weather and
favorable spring which resulted in an
increase in the number of marketable
lambs and also to the fact that ear
lier lambing and marketing are be-
ing practiced. Drought conditions in
the northwest range district and the
late start Of Tennessee and Kentucky
lambs marketer also were factors in
swelling the July receipts.

WHAT THE DEPAR TMENT
OF AGRICULTURE
is DOING

ment in the highway field in 1918
was the tremendous increase in mo-
tor truck traffic. Five years ago
heavy motor trucks were few in num-
Der and limited practically entirely
to the paved streets OF larger cities.
These vehicles now comprise proba-
bly, to 5 per cent OF the grand to-
tai of all motor vehicles and are to
be found wherever traffic conditions
permit profitable use. But very few
roads We're designed TO carry any
large volume of this class of trafIlc
Consequently the cost of adequate
maintenance was increased greatly
during the year In many places the
damage due to the incessant pound
ing Of these fast and heavy vehicles
was so great as to require complete
reconstruction.
