The farmers who have employed eff

them that a voluntary organization is

the army together. There are about
500 girls in the army and most of them
want to remain on the land. The ulti-
mate aim of many is farm of their

EVERYWHERE the girls have won
friends. OF only because of their good
work but by their splendid bearings IN

ed recently with the Distinguished SER
vice bar, which is to the land army

If all the merchants are like two

BLOW AT LIQUOR.
Federal Judge at Chicago UphoIds War
Time Prohibition.

lTne FrOnlpltlOn.
The liquor interests were given an
other setbac. last Monday when Judge
George A. Carpenter handed down a
decision in the United States district
court in Chicago which held that the
wartime prohibition act and the Vol
stead enforcement act were constitu-
tional. Judge Carpenter announced
that Louis Fitzhenry, Of Peoria, Ill.,,
had concurred in the decision.
Under the fifth amendment to the
constitution, which provides that leg
islation restricting personal liberties
Of individuals may be passed If the
community as whole is benefited,
Judge Carpenter held that congress
was empowered to pass the two acts
involved in the case.
He held the acts constitutional be-
cause "demobilizatlon Of industries
mobilized by the war was not yet COM
plete, and that the country was still
in a state of war regardless Of Cen
eral Pershing's statement that army
rehabilitation was complete and de-
spite the presidents veto Of the Vol
stead act indicating that the war was
over"
Referring to the national prohibi-
ton act Judge Carpenter, in his de-
cision, said:
IF the state Of Kansas, under its
police power had the right to prohibit
the manufacture and sale Of ardent
spirits, so had each one Of the other
Al states in the union. If all the states
had the right, granting that the fed
eral government, under the constitu-
ton, while prosecuting the war, was
entitled to exercise police power nee
essary and proper for the efficient car
rying on of the war, there Is no rea-
son. why the central government could
not provide against the manufacture
Of the states, and that without COM
pensation to the owners and dealers"
The judge further caio:
Congress had the power before the
18th amendment was passed to make
police regulations in the aid Of war.
This amendment certainly did not de-
stroy that right. II that amendment
had been passed in January, 1917, with
the one year Of grace for the liquor
interests to readjust themselves and
their business, could anyone in reason
contend that congress had not the
power in April, 1917 to prohibit the
manufacture, sale or even use of ard
ent spirits?
81 cannot agree with the decision
of Judge, Brown of Rhode Island that
the 18th amendment necessitates the
declaring of war and national prohi-
bition acts unconstitutional.
What congress has done is inEthe
interest of public welfare and public
morals If plaihtiff, not entitled to
compensation, the prohibition laws be-
ing valid, may sell and distribute their
product among the people of the coun-
try, the damage to the general welfare
has been done and never can be un-
done. If the action Of congress was
wise, and so we must assume it to be,
believing the prohibition acts to be
lawful, even were the question here
involved doubtful, we would have to
resolve the doubt in favor of the gov
ernment."

The Columbia Record of Wednes-
day has a story Of an attempt to hold
up Capt. J. Roy Pennell, state high
way engineer, on the road to Savan-
nah at about 10 o'clock last Sunday
night. The captain was hurying to
catch a train. At a turn in the road.
ahead of him he saw two naked men,
wearing black overcoats. They held
up their hands as a signal to stop.
He kept right on. The men were
standing directly in front OF him an"
seemed inclined to stay where thev
were. One of the men jumped aside
and the other was knocked down. The
captain put on all the gas his car
would take and ran for it as fast as
he could. He ducked in the expecta-
ton of being followed by shot, but
there was no shooting.
