SOFT DRINK men,
WITH HUGE LINES,
DELUGE RETAILERS

Next year is expected to be easy
pickin's for the soft drink makers.
They're figuring on the prospects that
yay. With all America dry and Cuba
a long way on. they have a monopoly.
and they know it. and they are MAX
ing provision for twice as great
trade in soft drinks as has ever been
possible before.
There is evidence Of this to be seen
in many ways. In the first place,
wholesale houses are receiving calls
from a constant string Of soft drink
statesmen. They want to sell in larger
amounts than ever before and have
a greater variety Of drinks. Every
day new drink Is born. Every day
q new concotion Is peddled. Where
they seem to have merit they will be
backed up by a strong advirtising
campaign. Wholesalers are putting in
conservative orders. In most Of the
cases it seems the part Of wisdom
to wait and see what the demand
viii be. z 81
stand.bys Sell We'll.
On the old stand-bys, however. the
wholesale houses feel safe in
contracting for large amounts. There
are certain well known drinks that
have lasted longer than a single
season. certain fake wines and near
beers that help little to remind
the consumer Of old times.
These are being bought in larger
quantities. The others are largely
speculative. They are made up large
~ of combinations of standard flavors
with a little acid, juice and carbonated
water.
Some Of the influx Of new drinks
Is due to the new lines Of goods put
out by breweries and wineries. A
salesman presented new wine made
in an eastern winery. Instead of fer
mentation and malt, 1t was made OF
the Juice of grapes In combination
with carbonated water.
Peorfa's great distilleries have be-
come the center for the extensive man
ufacture of a sacchnrine substance
technically known as "levol" which is
sold all over the country in the place
Of sugar in the baking Of bread and
pastry. .
The brewers take the starch OF
grain as the basis of its manufacture,
instead Of the starch of corn as is
the case in glucose.

LANSING INCIDENT

in seven years. But their frame of
mind on the Lansing episode was one
of helplessness and bewilderment.
Their attitude was analogous to that
of the hero-worshipping fans who
have admired all season long the bril-
liant playing of a fielder only to see
him throw the telling game in the
worlds series by dropping the ball in
the ninth inning with three men on
base. They have memories Of bril-
liant past performance and their cha
grin is mingled with disappointment
Of the keenest sort.
Pity is Predominant.
It Is curious indeed that much Of the
feeling Is that Of pity. People wonder
why the president wasn't stopped by
someone in the inner circle from pass
ing out the Lansing letter. People
suspect even that the presidents out
burst on the Fiume question Is piQue
and temper. 1 find here in Washing
ton little echo Of that.
Foreign diplomats say that the ef-
feet Of the dismissal of Lansing was
I to create an impression in Europe that
tho president was suffering from the
Itedium of a long illness and now they
believe his threat to withdraw the
treaty is part and parcel of the cir
cumstances surrounding his illness. 1t
would be tragic il Europe began dis
counting American action because of
the indisposition Of the president, real
or imaginary.
But out in the country, away from
Washington, there really isn't much
interest in the Fiume question. 1t is
| little too involved and intricate for
the average man to understand with
out study, and he is far too busy at
| tending to his domestic troubles to
read up on the quarrel with the Jugo.
Slavs.
Average Man Interested.
The expulsion Of Lansing from the
cabinet is something he can under
stand. He never knew much about
Lansing. If one wants to discover
how important a cabinet Job is as a
rule, let him ask somebody outside of
Washington to give the names of half
the members of the cabinet of this or
any other president. 1t wasn't sym.
pathy for Lansing or even a passing
. concern about the secretary Of states
differences Of opinion with his superior
officer that occasioned the outburst
on the part Of the average man. 1t
| was merely that his credulity was
: taxed by the first sentence in Mr..
Wilson's letter which asked us It

simple set Of circumstances, easy
to grasp.
Ask "Why the Up-Roar."
People remembered that when the
president got sick, the cabinet did
meet. They don't understand yet why

She Married an Averaqe Man
BY ZOE BECKLE,

1t seemed a strange thing that when
we lived in New York, supposed to be
a regular modern Babylon containing
scarcely such thing as a faithful
husband, no jealousies ever tormented
me Even that wretched episode with
Fanny Frisbie brought out only my
pity. But here in quiet rural village
the dread thing has seized upon me.
Perhaps l have talked too much with
Agatha Pardoe. Agatha is a matri-

in throwing out hints and warnings of
danger. I certainly should not be

Poker Players, Come On,
'Fess Up to Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam wants to know how much
you won at poker last year. "None OF

you're mistaken! Taxable income for

Profits made in violation Of laws and

Annual Farmers Meet

The annual FARMERS meeting will
be held at the College of Agricul-
ture the first four days in Febru-
airy. Preparations are already under
way to make this the best that has
ever been held in the State of Ken
lucky. Lectures and demonstra-
tons will be given in home eco
Monies, tractors, beef cattle, sheep,
hogs, poultry, dairy, horticulture,
plant disease, soils, crops, farm ims
PIGMENTS and management and mar
keting. Able speakers will be
brought in to speak on these various
phases of agriculture and demon
strations will be conducted wher-
ever possible. Last year John Cos
ling, from st. Louis, gave a demon
stration in the cutting and dress
ing of meat. The farmers were given
an opportunity to estimate how much
meat the pure-bred, grade and the
scrub steer would dress. These
steers were slaughtered and the far
mers were given an opportunity to
see exactly how the various animals
dressed out. Demonstrations or
similar nature will be given. this
year and the livestock associations
will be given an opportunity to hold
their regular annual meetings, hav-
ing some out of State speaker to
address them and banquet will be
given in the evening.
One feature of this coming far
mers' week that will be especially
popular will be the tractor schooi,
in which a four-days' course in the
care and management of tractors
will be given. The various prin-
ciples of the tractor will be discuss
ed and then the farmers win be
given an actual opportunity Of
studying the various makes of trac-'
tors and observe what the lecturer
has been telling him by having the
machine there to inspect, as some s
or 10 different makes of tractors
will be used in this demonstration.

Will Our Women be
Manufacturers Of Men?

In the construction Of a new and
better world following the great
World War, it is fortunate that
America has equal suffrage as help
from the very start. We look for
ward eagerly and hopefully to the
feminine voice in public affairs be-
cause we feel that voice will have
a God-like as well as constructive
part in these new things that shall
be.
IF there are women who think that
the chief concern Of their vote and
voice in the future is to be woman
herself, we hasten to ask them If
they are not wrong! There is no
need for a strictly woman's party.
Nothing can now stop our Ameri-
can women from getting their
rights to the full and overlooking.
They need not trouble themselves
about that. Therefore, we invite all
women to consider the following four
words as high ideal and purpose:
The Manufacture of Men.
The manufacturer of men as well

The Golden Rule
In Your Business

Some years ago Willis /. King,
vice president of the Jones & Laugh
lin Company, one of the greatest steel
concerns of America, in an address
before the American Iron and Steel
Institute, took as his subject, "The
Golden Rule in Business"
Mr.. King claimed that in every
business relation, whether dealing
with customers, competitors or en-
ployes, it was possible to follow the
Golden Rule as the surest guide in all
business dealings. His address was
enthusiastically received by the hun
dreds Of leaders in the iron and
steel industry who were present.
Since that meeting there has been
a widespread development of the
thought that in all human relations
men should strive to put into prac-
tice the divine command to do unto
others as we would that they should
do unto us. But what a revolution
in human affairs would be inaugu-
rated if all men practiced that doc
trine!
If all employers would honestly
put themselves mentally in the place
Of their employees and then study the
meaning of that command, there
would be a mighty change for the
better.
If all employees would put them
selves in their employers place and
endeavor fully to carry out that
teaching, there would be no slack
ening, no inefficiency, and no effort
to browbeat and bulldoze other men
who did not belong to their particu-
lar union.
If all buyers and sellers would
faithfully do unto each other as they
would wish others to do unto them
under similar circumstances, homes
ty would everywhere prevail, ana the
worlds business would move for
ward to a higher and nobler plane,
with larger prosperity for all.
No man is living a true life; no
man is doing his full duty to him
self and his fellowmen as employer,
or employee, as buyer or seller, who
cannot conscientiously say that to
the very best of his knowledge he is
seeking TO carry out this supreme
rule Of human conduct.
No man is thoroughly honest at
heart who is not willing to examine
himself to see if his motives square
with this divine comand, which is
just as binding as those which say.
