EDWARDS LEADS
FICHTSFOR VETS
How New Jersey Cover
nor Is Conducting
War on Drys

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. THE bat
tie in New Jersey, led by Governor
Edward l. Edwards for state rights
as against constitutional prohibition,
is being fought along two lines: An
effort to induce the legislature to con-
test the validity of the 18th amend
ment in the United Staes Supreme
court and to enact state law per-
uniting the sale in New Jersey of bev-
erages containing more than one
half of one per cent of alcohol.
Steps necessary to fight the prohi-
bition amendment in the Supreme
court have been considered in con-
terences between the new governor
and the state attorney general. Two
bills have. been introduced in the
legislature, one to permit the sale of
beverages with four per cent of alco-
hol content and the other five per
cent.
Governor Edwards was elected on
an issue of personal liberty" He
gave pledge in his campaign to in
sist on the right of the people of New
Jersey to say how they should live.
His attempt to fulfill that pledge has
made this state one Of the few re-
naming battle-ground for the right of
man to buy drink and has attract
ed attention throughout the country,
The governor, in attempting to as
sert and maintain the sovereign rights
of the state as against federal consti-
tutional prohibition, must deal with
a legislature controlled by the repub-
lican party, while he is a democrat
New Jersey not only failed to ratify
the federal prohibition amendment
! together with Rhode Island and Con.
necticut, but went further than any
other state in the union, and its legis.
lature absolutely rejected the amend
ment. The governor has urged the
legislature to refrain in its present
session from now giving it's ratifica
ton.
Although Governor Edwards holds
liberal personal views concerning the
use OF intoXicants, his friends says
that he has not taken a drink of in,

Edwards is a man of action rather
than an orator, but, in his campaign
made an impression in his speeches
by directnes sand frankness. He is
considered a staunch party organiza-
ton man, of more than average bust
ness ability, tolerant and loyal; a
home-loving man, one whose greatest
pleasure in life is in playing games
with his little grandchildren. His
home is in Jersey City He is Sc
years old, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Jersey City, served for
six years as state controller in which
office ne established a "pay-as-you-
go" Policy for New Jersey, and for
about one year was state senator. He
is married and has one son, Captain
Edward |, Edwards, Jr., who served
overseas in the war, and daughter.
He is a vestryman of st. Pauls Epis-
copal church of Jersey City.

that health depends entirely upon

The oxygen, which Is absolutely

The cells of the body contain Ia
different cell-salts-and the abb

symptoms-just as lack of water

These cell-salts attract and re-

MoNDELL A PRACTICAL FARMER
Also an Expert i'm Land Matters and
Gladly Gives Assistance to Land
Holders of lle State.

Congressman Frank w. Mondell.
whose efforts in behalf of all public
land entrymen who need assistance ut
for the asking. and are efforts of the
sort that invariably bring results, vas
n Wyoming farmer himself some 80
years ago. AT that time he owned and
large dry farm in the territory now in
cluded in Weston County. and his ex-
periences in that connection nave made
him the lifelong friend of the public
land entryman.
Later on Mr.. Mondell spent two
years in Washington as assistant COM
missioner of the general land office,
where he learned first-hand the policies
and administrative processes of the
land department. Hence it is easily
understood why the Wyoming congress-
man is able to accomplish more for the
Wyoming homesteader than any other
half-dOzen men in the national capital.
AS evidence of Mr.. Mondell's interest
in the agricultural development of lis
state, the following is quoted from an
address delivered by him at IL settlers
picnic recently held in the eastern part
of the state:
THE greatest satisfaction which one
gets out of public life is that which
comes from the opportunity to help and
assist those who are engaged in the ar
duous work of developing the
of IL country, establishing new homes.
and laying the foundations of a new
Wyoming.
providence seems to try the very
soul of Il new settler. The man who
sticks it out earns all he gets. but he
generally secures n fair reward. Agri-
culture. once practiced only in IA limited
way in Wyoming, has become one of her
prime industries. We should ~irrigate

the dry farmer has IA great and impor-
tant work to perform. For a dry farm
er stockman The opportunities look
very encouraging. as by the produc-
ton of forage crops where possible.
the took carrying capacity of our lands
is vastly increased.
Il congratulate o upon the SPLEEN
did crops you have produced. and
upon the hopeful outlook for the future.

THE TEACHING OF THRIFT.

Is your child's candy worth more
than his education? 1t may not be
worth more. but it is costing more.
The American School Journal says
ssh. 100000 was spent on the public
schools last year. while the tax experts
at Washington say $95O,O0O.00O was
spent on candy in the same time, Il diff
creme of 100 millions in favor Of can
dy. Did you imagine it?
Believing this proportion to be unfair
TO the children of America, the Govern
ment Savings Organization of the
Treasury Department is launching a
saving campaign in every school house,
Il campaign of education and actual
saving. Where schools prefer to have
banks handle the school savings ac-
counts this is to be done, but in a great
majority of cas,.s .te Thrift Stamp and
the War Savings St:ine are the media

of savings. Teachers are asked to
teach thrift as a part of the school
course.
The Tenth District has carried a cam
paign this summer TO teachers at sum
mer schools and teachers Institutes.
reminding them hat their success in
increasing their salaries will depend
largely pom their ability to show in
dollars and cents how real a service
they can render their communities by
making more conservative young citi-
zens out of the children in their care.
Expenditures for luXuries are being
used to show the need of teaching saw
ing in schools. While America raised
81 billion dollars in war loans, it spent
% billions in luXurieS last year. The
Tenth District raised in all its war
loans $40 million dollars. ten million
less than the national expenditure for
candy last year. Cigarettes cost 500
million in h same time. as also did
admissions and dues and tobacco and
snuff. Cereal beverages brought IL
millions more last year than Kansas
raised in all Liberty Loans. and Kan
sas was Ii banner state in the district.

LOOKING FOR KICK" IN LOCO.
Unknown Force That Makes Horses
Wild and Crazes Cattle Baffl-
ing to Scientists.

In an effort to get to the active
principle" of the loco weed. the sub
stance that makes wild horses wilder
and cattle walk calmly over the brink
of IL cliff and shy from an irrigation
ditch, DIR. Emil Starr. IL prominent
western chemist. is said to be conduct
ing a series of experiments OF which he
has been working for months.
An abundance of loco weed has
been collected and every substance and
element is being eliminated in an eff
fort to get dow TO the real kick. .
DIR. Starr is making IL serious effort
to locate the active principle of the
growth. which for 30 years has baffl-
ed scientists. He has taken a big col
lection of the white weed and boiled
it down until it has been possible to
pulveriZe the remaining substance.
This has been treated chemically to
eliminate all gums. sugar and other
substances which have been known to
be in loco.
scientists have tried every known
method of getting the active principle
says DIR. Starr. They have taken the
extract and tried incubation and sim,
liar methods without avail. Our prob.
lem is to locate the active principle
if it can be found. and after locating
it. test it to determine exactly what il
is. Also, if possible, we will try to tie.
termine that there is no active prin.
