BAUGHMAN is STILL
AT HOT SPRINGS

John W. Baughman writes the
Democrat from Hot Springs saying
the weather there is fine and that
there are big crowds at that popular
resort. He says he met Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardner there and that they expect
to remain some time.
Mr.. Baughman sends clipping
about booze which he describes as
unusual" to say the least we are
of the opinion that our readers will
agree with him
Here it is:
"New York, Feb. 3.-Happy the
man who has volcano in his back
yard after July /. That is, if the
man is an old crony' of John Barley
corn. If you think you cannot get
along without old John, better beat
it to the best remaining hope of the
alcoholic volcano or a volcanic
neighborhood.
1t has been discovered that vol
canoes are veritable hotbeds of al
coholism. In Sweden they are man.
ufacturing alcohol in large quanti-
ties from lava.
Now we know what was wrong
with the poor volcanoes when they
acted that way. We used to think
Mont Pele for instance, was just nat
urally mean. Nothing to it. 1t is
such a nice mountain when it is So
Der, but once in a thousand years of
course, it does get full-and then
it's lighted up for fair. Afterwards
it gets so sick and then the fireworks.
All on account of alcohol, it must
be. For it is now scientifically es-
tablished that the lava put forth by
volcanoes is rich in alcohol, and the
Swedes are turning the seemingly
worthless lava of the mountains into
alcohol to run motorboats and auto
mobiles.
Lava moonshine has not been tried
yet, but along next summer certain
deserted places where nothing can
be produced on account of the lava
formation may feel a quickening Of
the spirit. There is large tract of
lava rock in Texas, about 100 miles
north of Ell Paso. 1t is in lonely,
little travelled, almost inaccessible
country, and moonshine detectives
would find the sharp rock outcrop-
pings very hard on feet and tenn
pers. 1t is estimated that there is
enough volcanic moonshine in these
Texas lava beds to supply genuine
Broadway New Years the year
around to the entire population of
the earth. But then, almost any in
genious citizen may find not far from
home some traces of one of those red
nights when some old volcano, now
resting in a drunkard's grave, got so
full that he literally burned up the
town. True, some of these old vol
canoes are apt to preach very sol
emn sermon to the lava hunter. They
lived while they were alive, but oh,
blooeyl how dead they are now
Old Mother Earth contains another
kind of hope for the disciple of ultra
wetness, too. 1t is the peat bed.
Score another for Sweden, boys

Perhaps little bit of feeling enters your heart once

Well why don't you do something?
Isn't it pure selfshness unwingness to make the nee

Wherever you are, there are persons in bad health

KIND and though humble your position may be there
are many things you might do to brighten these lives
