tween men and women. Ii will
take a powerful, we'll written con-
stitujonal amendment to change 1t
between now and next Christmas.
This does not mean, however.
that it will never be changed. or
that the single standard will never
exist. 1t will come In time. And
women will bring 1t about by their
influence on children, ending
polygamy, public an private, and
other immoralities in the future,
as, in the past, they have ended
cannibalism and other abomina-
tons.
1t might reasonably be suggest
ed, however, that even in the line
of morals mans forpower of di-
gestion is limited. This country
spent forty thousand million dol
lars to help Europe. We are still
digesting our latest virtue, pro-
hibtion, which some find indigest-
IDLE because of their imperfection.
1t might be crowding things a
little to add the single standard
this year.
However, nothing is impossible;
the constitutional standard of
drinks, two parts hydrogen, one
part oxygen, will help along the
moral single standard, for one vir-
tue helps another, as one kind of
wickedness encourages another.
The remarkable thing is that
there was so little drunkenness
when prohibition was made part of
the Constitution. In Jefferson's
days whiskey killed half of the
people. Another remarkable thing
is that there is now so little i'm
morality, taking the country as a
whole. For pure, unadulterated,
double-standard foolishness you
could not now equal Solomon any
where on earth. Yet he was in his
day the wisest man. What must
the others have been?

years (preferably) the period of the
rotation) on lined and unlimed plots
8. To measure the value of the
lime in realizing results from invest
ments in seeds sown (applied to such
seeds as clovers, alfalfa, etc., by
comparing the relative returns in
yields on lined and unlimed plots
a. To gather practical information
of local nature for use at farmers
meetings, in publications, in news
articles, and in other ways, to definite
ly point out the money returns re-
sulting from the use of lime.
