AN APPEAL.
To the Citizens of America.

To the Citizens of America.
One year of Prohibition has
brought more laughter to children
and more smiles to women than any
other legislation.
It has turned almshouses and
breweries into factories, jails into
corncribs, and brought their in
mates forward into the great indus
trial army
1t has added untold billions to the
nations wealth, transferred money
from the saloon tills to savings banks
and newly erected homes.
The Eighteenth Amendment has
increased farm and city values,
quickened industry and brought to
the United States the greatest era OF
prosperity ever known.
The pro-liquor element is dong it.

That the use Of rice for potatoes, a

That the use of rice for potatoes, a
substitution already made by many
thrifty housewives, could be even
more widely adopted with profit, is a
suggestion of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, prompted
by the present high prices of pota-
toes. The Department. food special
lists point out that potatoes are ap-
proximately four-fiths water and one
fifth food material, whereas in rice,
as well as in most other grains, the
proportions are practically reversed.
Under normal conditions the prices
of these two commodities usually are
such as to somewhere nearly equalize
the two from the standpoint of food
cost.

Expenditures, no matter how Law
ish, by those who have earned what
they spend for the products of labor
of others, cannot be responsible for
the high cost of living. II. all ex-
penditure were of that nature. then
no one could consume more than he
produced. But since many get I'M
earned incomes, and are consequent
ly exempt from need of production,
their expenditures give a color OF
truth to the doctrine that lavish ex-
penditures cause high prices. But it
is really not the spending, but the
manner in which the income is OBJ
tanned that is responsible.

At least $4,000 farmers in the
United States own motor trucks
which they use on their farms. This
is shown by a preliminary survey of
the ownership and use of motor
trucks by farmers undertaken by the
Office of Farm Management and the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department. of Agri-
culture. The data secured by this
inquiry answer many questions which
have been asked repeatedly in recent
years regarding the extent to which
motor vehicles are used for farm
hauling.

Spend Vacation On the Farm.

With shortage of farm labor as
acute as in 1918, Secretary of Agri7
culture Meredith has issued an ap
peal to city men, college students
and others who can do SO to spend
their vacations working on farms,
particularly as helpers in the harvest
fields. Reports to the Department
from practically every State indicate
that the supply of hired farm labor
is only about 70 per cent. normal,
compared with "a per cent. normal a
year ago. Secretary Meredith feels
that the situation must be relieved
if food production is to be brought
to a satisfactory point. If the farm
fails, the world starves.

HEAVY PENALTY FOR
FRAUD At PRIMARY.
Voting Out Of Your Party is
Perjury in the Eyes Of
the Law.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, May 49,
Members Of the different political par
ties can not assist in the nomination
Of another political faith in the prl'
mary election ON May Is without be-
coming liable for prosecution for per-
jury, according to the opinion OF At
torney General E. T. England as ex-
pressed IN answer to inquiry from A.
R. Sheppard, candidate for assessor
Of Kanawha county.
Before voting their primary ballots,
voters must make oath the Attorney
General said, that they are qualified
voters Of the party whose ballot they
wish to cast, such oath being required
to preserve the integrity OF the primary
ballot.
Commissioners of election may also
require affidavits from voters whose
party affiliation is under question, ac-
cording to Attorney General England s
opintoH. and such affidavits are re-
quired to be given by the commission
ers of election to the circuit clerk Tor
transmittal to the grand Jury. A pen
atty of not less than one or more than
three years In the penitentiary Is i'm
posed for making false affidavits.
The voters signature on the affirma-
ton book of the political party whose
ballot he is casting is in itself an oath
that he is affiliated with that party
and will be considered as an affidavit,
but the commissioners OF election, if
they so desire, may require additional
affidavits, he said.

Andrew Dickey Was Among
Those Present at PO-
lice Court 3D..

Andrew Dicky was fined $40 this
morning before Mayor Conaway ON
charge of being drunk ad disorderly
last light at the Hippodrome theatre.
He was reported to have had quite
too much to say On 1he subject OF
the W. w. and was eSitby the mayor
that it would be to his advantage to
keep quiet on that subject amons
good American citizens. He had IN
his possession large sized bottle OF
"a de quinine hair tonic Of the
Vogue" variety and said he had al
ready drank bottle before he was
taken out of the theatre by Chief
Moran.
G. Hunter, colored %as fined IS for
loafing for the second time in the B.
& o. yards. Officer Breedlove
brought him before the mayor. The
colored fellow said he was looking
for a place to sleep and was told by
the mayor to find one elsewhere as
the next time a robbery was commit
ted about the yard the blame would
likely be placed on him II ne tre-
Quented it extensively.
Chief of Police Porterfield Of Riv-
esville whose trial was to have taken
place yesterday at five O'clock for
feited his bond of 500 and failed to
appear. 1t has noe been decided by
the mayor what the next step will be
in connection with this violator of the
new city ordinance which states that
a ma must serve ten day iah SEN
tece and pay fine besides for driv-
ing q car while intoxicated.
w. C. Heston appeared for trial this
morning with three witnesses in the
auto accident which occurred two days
ago when Heston ran into the car of
Hugh Snodgrass and broke a fender.
After all the testimony was in, in
spite Of Heston's claim that he could
not aToid humping the car as he saw
no hand raised in front, he was fined
$40 for reckless ad imprudent driv-
ing. The mayor was influenced doubt
less by the fact that earlier in the day
Heston had driven the same truck out
b Ices Run and had Knocked man
into ditch there. Hesto said he was
teachig some girls how to run a car.
