STEADY ADVANCE OF THE CAMEL GUARDS
The American ESSueN

To an impartial observer the fact that congress
by more than o-thirds vote submitted the 18th
amendment, that 40 of the as states ratified
amendment by large majorties in each case. and
the further fact that members of congress who may
be presumed know the wishes of their constitu-
ents have voted for enforcement measures by
almost three-to-one majority, should be sufficient
evidence that the people Of the United States desire
and satisfied with federal prohibition To this.
Of course may be added the further fact that be-
fore the amendment was ratified nearly three
fourths the states had, Of their Volt
ton. banished the liquor traffic from their Dor
ders aud that large in the remaining states
were dry
The liquor forces however, trying to make il
appear that OF sudden minority in this country
put prohibition TO the great surprise and dis
appon ment of the majority.
But added TO the evidence presented hereinbe-
fore is another interesting bit of evidence TO be
found in the chronology Of the temperance move
and compiled and covering the period from the
colonial days Of 1912 the present time. That
chronology shows that ever since the coionsts
tied on this continent there has been some move
ment toward prohibition and that in year and in

More Truth

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE LIMIT.
When bakers raised the price Of
bread.
And butchers raised the price or
beef,
A lot of words we left unsaid
Including crook" and blk" and
thief"
We merely stifled down a sigh
The things they kept upon their
shelves
Were things we simply had to buy,
And which we couldn't make our
selves
But when the BARRIERS of the land
Advance hair cut to a dollar
Well take "A firm, decided stand,
And make a loud and ringing
holler
We've stood for raises, goodness
On rents. and light. and coal and
such.
On shoes. and shirts and ties and
hose,
But dollar haircuts are too much.
Perhaps we1l let our hair grow
long.
Like Mr.. Percival Mackaye's,
And though we see the passing
throng
Inspect us with deriding eyes,
And think that we're a poet too,
(And that's an awful thought TO
harbor;)
It's something that we'd rather do
Than pay a dollar TO a barber.
Or we shall take the sugar bowl,
And place it firmly on our dome.
Like grandma did, dear kindly soul.
What time she clipped our hair.
back home,
And cut our tresses in the style
That in the dear departed days,
Made all our little playmates smile,
But anyway, well beat the raise!

MARCH 3. 1920.
THE COST OF HOLIDAYS.

narrow-visioned statistician, who apparently
considers human beings mere cogs in the indus
trial machine. has computed the loss in production
which results from the observance by workers OF
the legal holidays the Saturday half holidays
and has presented his findings "the high cost Of
loafng." II amounts 20 many billions of dollars But
# is not impressive.
I'm the FIRST place, to call cessation work tho
times speched "loafng" is a misnomer. The time
that ne spent in his calculations might have been
spent more usefully. If ne had reckoned the COS:
idle rich to do useful work his study might be
entitled to consideration.
Employers generally recognize that the refresh
nent the workers which comes from holidays
and haIf-hoidays increases their producing powers
and thus more ian compensates for the falling of
IN production when work ceases
Incessant work is not the chief end for which
be desirable il less work were necessary, so that
PEOPLE might give of their attention the
arts and sciences which develop sound minds in
sound bodies. The philosophers who have pictured
ideal states emphasized that labor being more
equally divided there was less for the individual
worklngman to do than under present economic
conditions.
the statistician presumably proposes to avoid by
abolishing holidays is not TO deprive the steady
workers OF their few periods of rest, but
pei idlers to go 20 work, and to encourage those
who employed to what they paid.

BUCK SHOT TOO SOON
Warden Moore Findo Violation Of
Fish and Game Laws.

There Is a hundred and fifty pound
buck hanging in Shanahan's market
on Main street that ought to still be
roaming the mountain in Glastonbury
as the annual hunting season does not
open until Monday at sunrise The
buck was found concealed in the loft
OF the shed adjoining the school
house near Fayyile ON the east road
to SALISBURY late Friday afternoon
by County Game Warden e. d. Moore
The warden, presumably, has an idea
how the buck found its way into the
loft but he is out of town today and
can not be interviewed. Perhaps he
wouldn't have much to say just now
II he were interrogated. 1t is a safe
bet that when the warden went deer
hunting Friday afternoon he knew
where his particular game was locat.
ed. He didn't even take gun and
yet he brought back the yenison and
1t was hog dressed at that
If some inside information" had
not reached the warden it would be
fairly safe to conclude that one of the
first deer to be killed next Monday
morning would have been a two-spike
buck and 1t would have been dropped
not far from the Fayville schoolhouse
just far enough away so that the
lucky (?) hunter would not have been
compelled to drag his prize too great
a distance AS it Is. some over anx-
ious nimrod is likely to drop into
municipal court in the near future
drop a hundred dollars and costs be-
fore he leaves.
The warden didn't accidentally
stumble upon that buck and 1t will
be surprising if he is not able to tell
the court just how it got into the
schoo house loft and also Just how il
happened to give up the ghost during
the week preceding the open season
