Many couples passed ielsnrely along
intent on one another. The woman
and her husband came toward them
from an opposite direction When they
arrived close to them they did not
offer TO get out into the street but in
stead maintained a tight ground. The
result vas severe bump which was
resented on the part Of the young
people. The little experience came
near being spoiled when one remem-
bered that the young folks had no
means OF knowing just how often the
older folks had been rudely jolted Off
the walk and so wore equally filled
with criticism on account Of the head
on collision.

I am requested to say word about
the many young couples this fine
spring weather who insist on taking
up al, the sidewalk as they saunter
down the street. It really is growing
difficult to pass along beside them
without stepping entirely off the walk
into the street. An acquaintance OF
mine said yesterday she determined
not to be pushed Off eyerytime and
she tells an amusing experience which
happened to her when she went out
that same evening. All went well for
awhile until she reached Main street.

The day is so remarkably beautiful

Lewis Reed, we'll known residents OF

stomach, kidney and liver complaints.
They have tried all kinds of medicines
without results until friend recon-
mended Nervlax. After trying cue
bottle they noted great improvements
in their condition and are highly
pleased with the results obtained. Mr..

suffered a general breakdown In
health. She suffered greatly with sas

time we have each taken a bottle. The
results were indeed amazing To both
of us. My wife can now eat her meals
with enjoyment and Is not bothered
with gas on her stomach aud we are
both relieved from constipation. The
dizzy spells have left us entirely while
we both enjoy our nights rest as we
have not done in years. We have Eeen

ETERNAL VIGILANCE is THE
PRICE OF PROHIBITION

A great many newspapers and peo-
pie seem to think that when the su-
preme court of the United States up
held the constitutionaliIy of the eigh-
teenth amendment and of the Vol
stead act the prohibition question was
settled forever. They are mistaken.
The decision outlawed the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicants, but will
not prevent it unless the law is Wig
orously enforced. The champions of
booze have not yet given up the
fight. They had influence enough
to keep any specific mention of pro-
hieition out of the republican ma
tional platform and are boasting that
they have votes enough to put a wet
plank in the democratic national
Platform. The anti-saloon league re-
fused to give its okeh to Senator
Harding, whom the republicans
nominated for president, and also re-
fused to give its okeh to Governor
Cox, who is regarded as one of the
most formidable aspirants for the
democratic nomination.
There is little danger that the
constitutional amendment providing
for national prohibition will ever be
repealed, but there is danger that
the Volstead act. which was passed
to place the amendment in force.
may be modified or emasculated by
congress. There is a widespread
clamor in many sections of the coun-
try especially in the large centers
OF population, that the provisions of
this law are too drastic. and should
DC modified so as to permit the
manufacture of beer and light wines
with a low alcoholic content. Sew
eral state legislatures passed acts
iegallzing the manufacture of such
beverages. The acts were nullified
by the supreme court decision and
the vets will now focus their cam
palgn on congress. If such modifica-
tlons are ever granted the effect of
Inc amendment will. to a large ex-
tent be annulled. Tho dispensers OF
booze have never hesitated to crowd
the limit in eyading the laws passed
anu the rules laid down tn regulate
their business It was this constant
practice OF stepping over the legal
Limitations imposed upon them

FROM BOTTOM UP

The program for the cooperative
marketing of cereal crops adopted
by the wheat conference held in Kan
sas City on April % at the call of
splendid ideal toward which to work
but nobody should expect that it will
be carried out within the next two
or three years. Cooperative mar
keting must grow from the bottom
up. 1t can not be organized from the
top town And growth takes time.
Patience, perseverance and faith in
the principle are the essentials to CO.
operative growth.
The Kansas City plan contem-
plates the organization of cereal pro-
ducers into local marketing associa-
tions, the bringing together of these
local associations into terminal mar
keting associations, by states and ter
minai markets, and finally organ
izing the terminal associations into
a great national association. Co
operative flour and cereal mills and
direct dealing with cooperative or
CARNATIONS of consumers are also in
Guided in the program.
Obviously such a large program
can not be carried out at once. The
committee can not wave a magic
wand and bring the completed sys-
tenn into being. In some states the
farmers cooperative elevators are
numerous enough and strong enough
to make a beginning in cooperative
terminal marketing. In other states
they are not. Where they are not,
the first step is to organize local as
sociations. And even where the
farmers elevators are strong enough
to engage in terminal marketing. it
will take time to get that movement
under way.
Since the foundations of a great
cooperative grain marketing system
must be laid in the different locali-
ties through the efforts of the farm
ers themselves, the best work the
committee in charge of the program
can do is to keep the idea before the
grain growers of the country and
urge that the successive steps to-
ward comprehensive marketing be
taken in each section of the coun-
try just as rapidly as possible.
How soon the day will come that
farmers will control their cereal pro-
ducts through cooperative market
ing agencies all the way to the con-
sumers depends finally upon the in
diyidual co-operators. 1t will be has
tened by each co-operator being
ready and willing to take the next
logical step in his community, state
or region, and the next and the next
as the way opens.-Nebraska Union
Farmer.

the wheat produced on the farms
covered by the survey, the price
would have to be about $3.50. 80
The great bulk of the 1919 wheat
crop was sold by the producers at
less than $2.26 per bushel 1t cost
$2.15 per bushel to produce it. The
average yield per acre the country
over is under 15 bushels. When one
figures what the net returns to the
wheat growers were he is forced to
the conclusion that if all the people
in the United States had been con-
tented with an equal margin of
profit, there would be no profiteers
because all would be philanthropists.
Many city newspapers and hun
dreds of thousands of city residents
now owe an humble apology to the
wheat growers of the United States.

which brought the saloons into dis
repute.
The liquor manufacturers and dis
pensers can not be expected to
change their habits and methods any
more easily than the leopard can
change his spots. If they are grant

ficials are elected who wink at the
violation or evasion of the prohibi-
ton laws, the eighteenth amend
ment will be a dead letter. Such
laws are liable to be passed and such
men elected to office unless the dry
forces remain constantly on guard
for at least another generation. BY
that time the benefits of the reform
will have been so conclusively dem
onstrated, and the hordes of drink
ers and former saloon keepers will
be so depleted in numbers, that ma
tional prohibition will be as firmly
established and as unalterable as the
laws of the Modes and Persians; but
until that time eternal vigilance will
be the price of dry United States.
