What The Future MAY Bring.

Editor Register-In reply to the ar
ticle in your paper of October 10th,
headed ga Word to Voters" l can
say what our special session of Con-
gress has done for me. 1t has taken
away another blessing of personal lib
erty with its prohibition laws, and
soon there WILDE no more free Amer
lea or "land of the free" One pleas
ure after another is taken away from
the liberty-loving American people
by law because our law makers want
it SO.
In about 1880 we can pick up our
paper and read something like this:
"John Smith was sentenced to twenty
years for having whiskey in his pos
session." "Geo. Calvin was given
two years for taking his best girl out
walking after o'clock;n "Willie
Jones, aged IA, was brought in by Of
ficers charged with chewing gum lin
violation OF the law against che wing
gum, passed in 1925. He was turned
OYER to the Juvenile Court for trial."
s'Henry Hanks was arrested for play
ing his Victrola on Sunday, the same
being against the new reform laws
prohibiting music of all kinds on the
first day of the week; Jim Hooligan
was brought in for whistling on the
same day. Both were held for trial
under heavy bonds. The present
wave of crime must cease;" "Mr. and
Mrs. Prouty were arrested for dane
ing in their own home last Saturday
night. They neglected to pull down
the curtains and were caught in their
fagrant' violation of the law. The
case is particularly vicious in that they
allowed their children to be present.
Both are in jail awaiting trial." "A
report that lemonade had been served
at a swell society function last Thurs
day caused stir in police circles.
The party was raided, but no con-
demning lemon peel or glasses were
found. None Of the guests would
swear that lemonade had been served.
1t is difficult to prosecute cases of this
kind" ga man giving the name of
Jake Wise, which is doubtless an alias,
was arrested for laughing on the
street. He claimed that he didn't
know it was crime to be happy, but
the court holds that ignorance of the
law is no excuse. He was given 80
days in lail;n "Three boys were ar
rested yesterday, charged with having
q Jewsharp in their possession. Their
names are withheld on account of
their parents"

and motor truck to travel without
diffic ulty, at all seasons of the year to
any part of the country.
Only few years ago trans-con-
tinental highway adapted for the use
of the automobile and motor truck
seemed only a dream. We had read
of the proposed Lincoln Highway to
be built from coast to coast. Today it
is a reality, and the Dixie Highway
has also been completed from the
Great Lakes to the Sunny South. The
Pacific, Olympic, and other highways
of national Importance, are in process
of construction and it will only be a
matter of a short time until all of the
great trading centers and points Of
interest of our country can be reach
with ease with the automobile.
Admitting that wonderful progress
has been made in the building OF inn

it will be several years before the less
important roads will be graded ant

THE BOY SCOUTS

What TO do with a boy? Mankind
has no older problem, and no other by
and large that so often looks pro-
foundly baff,ag to the worried indi-
viduals who tly to solve it-with all
due respect for young persons of the
other sex. for children Of gentler
sex must on the whole be more tracta-
BILE.
One thing to do with boy is to put
him in the Boy Scouts.
That organization celebrated its
ninth anniversary the other day. Not
many young institutions have given SO
convincig a account of themselves. In
connection with the anniversary it
makes compelling appeal to the pub
lie.
It wants particularly more volun-
teer men leaders especially men who
have had military experience abroad.
That want should be promptly, copi-
ously, gladly met. There could hardly
again be conjuncture so favorable
for inpressing upon the very tissues
of boys consciousness vital page in
American history, and in the history
of democracy and of the world. In the
Scounts' martial atmosphere of drill,
uniform, march and camp the leader
ship and companionship of men of the
right sort from the battlefields of Eur
ope would fall upon the boys minds
like a seal on warm wax.
Every normal boy has right to
march, range and camp. 1t satisfies
deep, old instinct in him. The great
business of education is to build upon
the boys instincts and the girls. The
Boy Scouts is one of the soundest edu-
cational undertakings. Democracy

portunity which everybody should

dry, absolutely dry, or. "Stanger, you
simply can't get a drop in the whole

the county is the shortest road
to rapid development and set
Element Of our land.
Most everybody believes that
his particular line Of work or
business or whatever it might be
is as important as anything else
or perhaps the most important
and we are no exception to the
rule. The county press can be
of great benefit to the farmer if
properly conducted and made in
teresting and of educational
value. The American along
with other county papers has
endeav0red to be this By pub
fishing the farm news MS edited
by County Agent Corwin and we
shall be glad to continue this
work. However we wish to add
a word Of criticism here. With
all due respects 10 Mr.. Corwin,
realizing that he is one of the
busiest men in the county and
real little live wire. we believe
that his weekly news column
could have been bettered con-
siderable Of late. What the peo-
pie Of Pine County want is ar
tlcles written by Mr.. Corwin
himself not articles sent out by
t4le University or some other in
be they ever so good
they want something closer to
home some actual Pine County
experiences written in Mr.. Cor
wins own words. That kind Of
will do far more good
and will be read with much more
interest and enthusiasm.
This is written in the most
friendly spirit toward Mr.. Cor
win and we hope it will be nc.
ceptcd as such; it is only in the
interest al improving the Farm
Bureau service.
We believe that Mr.. Corwin
has had too much Of his time
taken up with individual help
and has therefore necessarily
neglected some of the bigger
things which can he of assist
ance to everybody. Just think
Vt how much good a real helpful
aud 'nstructing article in the
press of the county each week
can do. A man could chase all
over the county trying to tell
each individual and he wouldn't |
have accomplished rs much in a
month, and this press service is
given free o! charge.
Now. it is not that we are try
my to discredit individual serv-
Ice to the farmer no not at all |
We must have some of that |
and also many large meetings
addressed by the County Agent.
Only it strikes us that Mr.. Cor.
win could do less travelling and
yet accomplish more for the gen
cral good of Pine County farm
ers in another way.
The Farm Bureau service
could also be made more profit
able If more farmers would |
come out and express their views
on the service.
We all know that no man can
work we'll with too many bosses
hut he can be advised and we
are sure that Mr.. Corwin will be
only too glad to receive friendly
advice and criticism. for he is a
live wire and is not afraid Of
work. One line of work in which
it appears to us that our County
Agent has especially accomplish
ed much good is in the standardi-
zation of potatoes in Pine
County.
But above all he a member Of
the Pine County Farm Bureau
