Summer Coves of Winter
From the Baltimore American.

\ In the Rocky mountains there is mnia
ture lake, perfect gem in marvel OF setting
known as Iceberg lake. Let those identity II
who may, and those describe it who can, il is
no part of this article to deal with Iceberg
lake other than as il affords a contrast for the
summer coves of winter That little opaeseeni
lake is in fact cove of winter thrust into the
very heart OF summer; for when the sun OF All
gust is shining and the temperature OF August
prevails there in that little lake pent about by
the majestic peaks and cliffs OF the great d.
vide are to be seen icebergs floating upon the
bosom of the turbulent water. Just outside the
area of the lake is parklike meadow OF nat
ura lawn and of wonderful wild flowers. Who
could suspect that the little lake nestles cove
like in the bosom of summer! Yet so it is.
Winter wages hercely and the stern sum
mons of the cold gathers the legions OF the
snow and battalions OF the frost and the on
tire landscape is bleak and forbidding. Then
there is break and the sun shines and the
warm stratas of air come from the south or
roll in from the far seas. The effect is imme-
date There is heard the song of bird, there
is seen bud with petals showing, and in pro-
tected spots strawberries may be in blossom.
These bits of summer are seen in the depth
of winter in suitable latitudes almost every win
ter They are coves of summer, where the fan
cies float at will, recreating the glories and the
beauties of the season Of flowers and Of cheer.
Miniatures of the season OF wonder and or
beauty. they present in tiny way the blue OF
the summer skies, lit by the golden glow tha.
is seen in the month of June, and with the vio-
let Of July evening tinting the edges OF the
clouds. They show the grass turning vernal
and the Towering out of some Of the more ven
turesome of the wild flowers Of the woodland.
The ferns uncoil their fronds and the mosses
become green and soft.
So the little lake far up in the northwest
corner of Montana and seen by many tourists
becomes symbol of the delightful exhibition
that summer can make in the gift of some of
its tints and colors and life and interest where
winter pauses in its harsh progress. Just an
interstice between the churlish blasts of win
of winter! Just 4 song note where was heard
no songster before! Yet music and melody rise
to the heart and rejoicing is felt because of the
temerity Of summer to inject bit of itself
Where winters cold must quickly stihe its
brief testimony to the ever living and ever
Frightening things of the season of earth's
glory

Gall for John y. Pershinp

Lincoln, Neb,, Jan. 2o.-To the
Editor of The Bee: General Perish
ing is the greatest exponent of the
| United States army. He worked and
earned the fame and honor which is
today being bestowed upon him.
General PershIng was selected from
the high ranking officers in 1917 to
lead the American expeditionary
forces because of his foresight and
ability 10 handle big things. He was
selected to lead a victorious army
and he did. The United States has
never vet. since history of this great
republic began, met defeat at the
hands of superior foe, and General
Pershing impressed the fact even
more SO upon the nations of the
world by the manner in which he
and his galoping 10000 Yanks'
went lover the top"
History has shown and proven
that struggle and distress follows
every, war, and what the United
States needs in the coming presiden-
tial election is another great leader.
General Pershing succeeded in
France, and is the logical man to
lead the nation now.
The writer volunteered in June,
1917. as a private. Was commits

are not read. for they are test dials.
Each dial has one hand and you
read it by taking the number that the
hand has Just passed and placing the
figures as 10 thousands, thousands,
and hundreds. In the hands shown
in the illustration, for example, the
10 thousand dial is between 3 and 4

reads $4,000. The thousand hand
reads 5000, and the hundred reads

S3l00. The meter runs continuously
and each months consumption is hg-
ured by subtracting last months
reading from this months. For in
stance, if it now reads 50, 100 and
read $500 last month, we have
used 800 cubic feet during the month.
Some meters have but one test dial
and others are sometimes marked
thousands, but you read them in the

Did you ever watch an old scls-

around him, for shears are always

Besides shears, there are knives,

many other little jobs which you
can easily do, and which will net

hardware dealer who sells it to you
will show you how to use it. If you
can get hold of one of the round
steel sharpeners which used to be
sold with carving sets, it will also
be useful. A file is the best thing
to sharper skates, and will often
do for shears. too.

Make it the width of lawnmower
and about two feet long. Moisten

SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
IN final FIGHT WITH LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Campaign Funds January When the National
Amendment Into Efect-An-Saoon League
for Finish the Job-World Dry by $780,

I'm the early stages of the fight for
IL national prohibition the states OF the
south took the lead and have main
tanned it in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in a death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun-
try.
AS a section the south was the first
to clear itself of the stain of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
in giving it's moral and financial sup
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country have
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
lea with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January l6.
And now the south is called upon to
take the lead in the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign under the direc-
ton of e. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which
comes as a logical and absolutely nec-
essary result of the enactment OF pro
hibition laws, both state and rational,
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"Finsh the Job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
fish the job" has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
of the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country. The speed and ef-
fectiveness with which this work is
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent of the CO.
operation of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing of the prohibition lIws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still vast
amount of work to be done before
the liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat-
ed out of business, it is making de-
termincd effort to come back, and it
is the purpose of the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign to see that ii
doesn't come back
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
to the constitution was passed we'll
meaning friends of Prohibition said
sour nation now is legally dry; the
cause of prohibition has triumphed ;
the fight is won and we are through
with it,"
The intensive campaign of the liqucl
intereuts to nullify Prohibition is the
answer Their propaganda organlza
ton has been eQualled only by that Of
the German government.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1920-01-15

Even the most casual reader Of the
news of the day realizes that Prohibit
ton has its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic is waging at the polls,
in the courts and in the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight in it's history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that is necessary is a
glance around you Reports are COM
ing daily of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous connections sold
under the guise of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called blind
tigers" were never so pronounced in
the history of the country as at the
present time. n
EIihu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev-
cry means in their power to make Pro
hibition a by-word and to make CON
ditions under Prohibition so intolera-
BILE and the violations of the law so
fragrant and the lack of law enforce
ment so notorious that the people will
become disguised with the situation
and demand a return to the licensed
saloon.
1t is the plan and purpose Of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, in
so far as America is concerned, to &C
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro-
hibition forces now will turn their at
tention to legislation against tobacco,
tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash R.
Broyles, chief justice of the Georgia
Court of Appeals, says:
THE agitation as to prohibition of
tobacco is camcuflage to handicap the
enforcement of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the eff
feet that the Anti-Saloon League is
backing an anti-tobacco campaign lis
entirely unfeunded."
The prohibition campaign asks moth
ing more nor less than enforcement
of the Prohibition laws already on the
statute books and the enactment OF
further legislation to strengthen them
| The campaign does not propose to

interfere with individuals. 1t is in
tended largely as a campaign of edu-
cation. Literature to counterfeit the
propaganda Of the vets, who are seek
ing to nullify the prohibition acts, is
being disseminated, meetings will be
held, and dry candidates will be sup
ported against the candidates Of the
vets fer every political office from
President downward.
In addition to enforcing Prohibition
in this country the aim Of the Anti
Saloon League is Worldwide Prohibi.
ton by 1880. To accomplish this the
Prohibition forces not only have to
combat the liquor forces already in.
trenched in Europe, Mexico, South
and Central America, China, Cuba
and other countries, but must fight the
additional influence of the American
distilllers who, driven from this coun-
try, are seeking footholds in other
lands
