by sheer power of genius holds

longing TO Italy.
The other famous Italian trans
formation was Lucullus, who re-
versed the D'Amunzio program.
At first he was a great Roman
fighter, greater, perhaps, than
Caesar, who envied and initiated
him. Then he suddenly dropped
glory and fighting and took to the
high living by which alone he 10
remembered. Read about him in
Ferrero's five volumes. You will
like the Greek girl that made
Lucullus rebuild Greek cities.
Anthony Fokker, Hollander, who
manufactured the best airplanes
used In the war, predicts a trip to
Europe. across the ocean, in one
day. This is laughed at now. II
will be laughed at again one hun
dred years from now when people
will cross the ocean in three hours
and wonder how a one-day cross
ing could ever seem remarkable.
Scientists" you know, said To-
comotives would necessarily be q
failure because the human heart
could not endure continuous travel
as rapidly as twenty miles an
our.

we'll County Pure Bred Short Horn

A circular letter, issued by j. Ed.
Peery, secretaly-treasurer of the Pure
Bred Association, urges a large at
tendance of members and of citizens
who are interested in better farming
advantages. He stresses the impor-
tance of the county agent as follows
1.-The county agent very successful
ly organized this association and has
been vital factor in carrying on the
work. He has also organized other
successful organizations to better the
farmers in many ways, and has been
of inestimable value to the farmers
in seed problems, caring for sick
stock, vaccinating cattle, and many
other problems for the advancement
of the farmers cause and better agri-
culture, the foundation of the coun-
try's prosperity. We believe his SER
vices are vital to the future success
of all this work. We must stand 10y
ally together in this work. In greater
unity is the farmers only hope for
the future"

The Pastors Asked To Help.

The pastors are requested to take
hand in settling and disposing OF
the Prohibition Campaign in this
town, at their service next Sunday
Each pastor is requested to speak a
word of endorsement at the close of
his service, when pledge cards will
be distributed, and a contribution
raised tor the fund. This seems the
best if not the only way to dispose
of the matter, as no one has been
found who is able at this time to
undertake the forming of an organi-
zation to make canvass Of the town
An effort will be made to reach the
churches i'll the county in the same
way. We are all friends of prohibi-
ton, endorse it, and will show our
faith by our work.
The above stated plan was agreed
upon in q small conference held OH
Tuesday, as the only plan in sight
that seemed at all feasible. Either
this or throw up and drop the whole
business, which is unthinkable at
this time.

CARE YOU ALL DONE?"

The Anti-Saloon leaders of the
State have made recently three un-
successful attempts to interest the
clJizcns of TINS community III the
orlve to raise fund for the enforce
ment of the prohibiulon laws of the
State. Are the citizens Of the town in
different? Are we "slackers," shirk-
ing responsibility The town and en-
tire county made u spirited and sue
cessfu campaign against the open
saloon, but seem to think, Judging
from appearances, that it is all over.
Everybody knows that any law not
enforced is not only useless but
worse than useless, dead letter,
weakening and demoralizing from be-
ginning to end. There is feeling
among the people that it is all over,
that the manufacture and sale of
liquor is practically eliminated by the
18th amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution, and this being the case
there is nothing for us to do further
And this would be true if the law
was approved heartily by all the
states. If the prohibition laws had
behind it an universal sentiment of
endorsement there would be no furth-
er need Of a prohibition commissioner
or prohibition officers in the states
to enforce the law. The laws would
be enforced or observed entire. But
listen, Mr.. Indifferent Citizen: There
are number of states, viz: New
York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
New Jersey, Wisconsin and number
of other states, that have wet organ
izations defying and fighting national
prohibition. Our own state lacks q
whole lot of being "dry." The noun
tain sections, and some Eastern, as
well, are full of moonshinrs and boot
leggers.
Whether or not Mr.. Peters is the
right man in the right place is fol-
others who know, to say, but that
his office and organization is necess.
sary to the enforcement of the Law
is beyond question.
Shall we stand by the officer.
whose business is to enforce the law
against a gang of outlaws, more
dangerous to our homes and civili
zation than the Bolsheviki, /. w. w
or even German tyranny. care yo,
all done?" What is your verdict?

er than words of sympathy by offer
ing to assist us in any way, even
from financial stand point. II is a
source of great pleasure to US to say
that we have been SO placed, altho
we have had quite a calamity, we
do not feel that we need any financial
assistance.
With the goods we have saved and
the insurance we have, the greatest
loss to us will be that we will be
necessarily out Of business short
while. We, however, are preparing to
begin in temporary quarters within
about 80 days, and the machinery we
are buying is all of greater capacity
than what we have been using, and
will make our output very much
larger.
