HOzU Can I SAGE Money?

Wise buying means economy.
The way to buy wisely is to read the
advertisements.
BECAUSE advertised products good products
BECAUSE merchants tell you their bargains through adj
vertisements.
BECAUSE almost opportunity offered through
advertisement.
BECAUSE practically every unusual buy is advertised.
BECAUSE you time and trouble by choosing what you
want and where to get from the advertisements instead Of
hunting all over town.
How can | save money? BY reading
the advertisements.
Not today only.
But every day.
You'll save money by keeping up with
every opportunity to get full value in buy
buying reading the advertisements
regularly.

as "sound Money and "The full
dinner pail,' and other promises that
had a personal appeal, the Democrats
wouldn't be so sanguine. They
haven't figured on what the women
might do. But they are assuming that
denunciation of the saloons, prohibi-
ton of whiskey and the fixing of a lib
eral percentage of alcohol for light
wines and beer would win even the
feminine vote or at least split it.
But would southern congressman
vote for a liberalization of the laws
relating to prohibition. They have al
ways stood with the dry forces. Would
it do any good to vote for Democrat
ic President if southern congressman
reverted to their prohibition views on
this? Those Democrats with dry lean
ings who say it couldn't be done and
those who are confident the southern
Democrats would be able to square
themselves with their communities by
insisting that state laws would protect
the South whilst the southern Demo
crat was in duty bound to assist his
northern brother in carrying out q
campaign pledge. Southern Democrats
have surrendered on their states rights
doctrine to the northern wing Of dem
ocracy for the sake of harmony 1t is
an open question whether they would
favor liberalization of the federal dry
| laws

See No States to Be Gained BY In

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Prohi-
bition has made its way into the STRAIT
egy chamber of the political parties
with the prospect that the Democrats,
at least, viii consider seriously insert
ing damp plank in their platform.
The leaders here are against the sa-
loon, against whiskey, against a re-
peal of the federal prohibition amend
ment but in favor of liberal intcrpre-
taticn of the laws and a less drastic
enforcement act so that light wines
and beers may be made in the home
or bought like any other article of
food provided the beverages do not
contain too much alcohol Congress I'M
der the amendment to the constitution
can define what is Intoxicating or nom
intoxicating by determining the per
cent Of alcohol that it is permissible
to use. At present the law reads one
half Of one per cent Democratic lead
ers think this is absurd and that the
country would not suffer the evils of
wetness which the anti-saloon league
preached so vigorously if the percent
age were doubled or even trebbled the
present amount.
But the interesting phase of the
question is the consideration given to
a damp plank as a vote getter in the
next election. Could the Democrats
carry the county by it? | present to-
days table of states which several
Democrats Of prominence have worked
out and which they think could be
carried with a strong candidate on
a platform containing declarations of
Ia liberal character in the matter of
laws relative to Intoxicating liquors
1t will be noted that in the first group
are states of the so-called solid South
with certain border states, thus:

BIG TREES HoNoRED.
Nominated for Place in "Hall Of Fame
for Trees.'

WASHINGTON, March l0.-"The great
tree on Boston common" and ''The Green
Tree hoteP' at LIE Claire, Iowa, the most
famous tree on the Mississippi river were
today nominated for place in the ''Hall
of Fame for trees being compiled by the
american Forestry association.
The Great tree on Boston common is
nominated by j. Collins Warren, of Bos-
ton, who sends complete history of the
tree which was blown down in a storm
February 10, 1918, the centennial of the
year in which the colonists gathered
around the tree and started for Lexington
to give battle to the British
The Green Tree hotel at lie Claire
Iowa, is nominated by j. B. Barnes, who
as a boy, played leap frog beneath the
branches of this tree with one Willie Cody
afterward known to fame as Buffalo Bill
The historic elm is known on the Miss
issippi river because to the river men, re
ports Mr.. Barnes, lit was the waiting
place of men out of a job and looking
for a trip. Therefore they give it the
name OF The Green Tree hotel" 1t il
considered to be 100 years old
Other nominations for the hall of Fame
include the DeSota Oak at Tampa, Flor
| ida, from which DeSota started for tn,
Mississippi and the West; the Octopus ire

! by Meade Ferguson as the largest an,
oldest tree in the state; the two oaks a

The foregoing total of 187 would,
not, however, be enough to win as 266
is required
Of course, the Democrats are basing
oil these figures on the assumption that
"a strong candidate will be nomi-
mated They would hardly be able to
run Herbert Hoover on a wet platform
as he is thoroughly dry. 1t would have
to be what is called a ''liberal' plank
IN order to tempt \. Mitchell Palmer.
who is prohibition advocate. But if
Mr.. Hoover were nominated. maybe
the Democrats wouldn / feel the neces-
sity of a damp plank They might be
disposed to let it be fought out in in
| dividual congressional districts where
the Volstead law would be attacked.
| Representative Ware, a Republican. has
! already announced that he would ask
/ for reelection on wet platform So
| have many Democrats Thus individ-
ual congressman might be fighting for
liberal Interpretation of the liquor
laws without regard to the top of the
ticket.
As for the Republicans, the handicap
of the solid South would prevent them
from inserting wet plank in the Re
publican national platform They
| would not gain southern votes by be-
ing wet and they might lose certain
Republican states in the West So the
Democratic leaders have figured it out
that the only chance of making it an
issue on the presidential ticket rests
with them. They point to sentiment
in New York state, Rhode Island, Ohio.
and the recent victory of Governor Ed
wards in New Jersey, as an index of
what might be expected in presiden-
tial campaign in which prohibition was
an issue. They can always count on
the South The question is really how
many wet states are there in the North
which when combined with the solid
South makes a Democratic victory pos
sible The foregoing tabulation shows
one combination based purely on the
supposition that the liquor controversy
would transcend all other questions
all other ills of the Wilson administra-
ton or promises of the Republican
party. If it were not for the effective
use by the Republicans of such slogans
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-03-10
would surely keep them Democratic
But TO continue with the table:

Combining these two groups of 175
and l0l, the grand total would be 276,
which IS 10 more votes than are need
ed to elect a President of the United
States.
But even if the four eastern states
we're not assured, the Democratic wet
advocates point to carefully worked
out list of doubtful states from which
they would expect to acquire enough
votes to make up for any losses in
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey
and Ohio in that combination. These
so-ealled doubtful states are as fol-
lows:

Electoral

The Democrats here by no means
toneede any of the above states but
for the sake of conservatism they put
the above list in the doubtful column.
As for states that might not be carried
if the wet issue were injected the fol
lowing states would be conceded to the
Republicans:

In France, eats are specially trained
for government use To fit them for
service among military stores they are

they are promoted to shore billet.

From the above group, It is true,
came the chief support for the prohibit
tion amendment but as between a wet
and dry issue and voting the Republi-
can ticket, the Negro problem is count
ed upon to keep the South safely Dem
ocratic. The South, moreover, has had
state laws on the liquor question long
before the federal amendment was
adopted.
As for Missouri, Maryland and Ken

to become Republican, the Democratic
strategists say that liquor questions
