FIRST TO WEAR FINGER RING
Legend Makes Premetheus the Pioneer
of Custom That May Now Be
Called Universal.

The first finger ring Is supposed
to have been worn by Prometheus,
who stole fire from heaven that man
might warm himself and cook his
food. This act SO incenSed Jupiter
that the king Of gods condemned him
to be chained upon a rock where vul-
t,lres could constantly feast upon him.
The sentence was carried out, but
Prometheus was released. Then Jupiter
ordered that Prometheus wear LINK
of chain about his fiEger as remin-
der of the punishment. A fragment
of the rock to which he had been
chained was set in the ring, so that
he might still be regarded as being
bound to the rock.
The custom of wearing an engage
ment or wedding ring upon the third
finger is due to an ancient belief that
a nerve or vein directly connected
this finger with the heart, according
to writer In the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. Macrobius said: Because or
this nerve the newly betrothed places
the ring on this finger OF his be-
loved, as though it were representa-
ton of the heart" And just to show
that the practice is very old one,
Macrobius admitted having obtained
the facts from an Egyptian priest,
thus linking the belief with the dim
reaches of the past.

DO you APPRECIATE HIM?

The druggist is one Of the important
professional men in every community,
says Prof Earl Series, head Of the
state college pharmacy department.
The present invasion of the 'flu" con-
vinces one of that fact. No one in
town knows more about the number
of cases of sickenss than the druggist.
The family physician is known as the
silent partner in household good
health. The druggist not only fills
prescriptions frequently for a number
of physicians, but after through pres
sure of epidemics he must serve as
first aid.
The druggist serves in other ways.
Professor Series says: you ask the
man on the corner how to mix this
or that; what will take the spots off
sisters new dress; what TO put on
Johnnie's bruised finger, and then call
on him at any time of day or night
to fill an important prescription from
your family doctor Let me say right
here, that the filling of that prescrip-
tion is of just as great Importance to
you as the writing of it and should
be held in as high esteem by you.
your local druggist usually is the
first person to get behind merited
movements, sale of Red Cross stamps
or sale of tickets for local talent plays.
You leave your umbrella in his store
when it quits raining. You leave late
purchases from other stores with him
while you go to the movies, sometimes
forcing him out of courtesy to keep
open until you return.
"The druggist is perforce one of the
best friends you have. Furthermore,
the laws which control his business
have become a hrHdred-fold more
rigid, the service cemarded by the pub
lie is of a hr< her type, and his own
voluntary professional requirements
have advanced rapidly to the high
plane Of allied professions"

AVOID UNNECESSARY TAX

How a farmer who merely keeps a
record of receipts and expenses may
pay too much income tax, whereas if
he keeps an inventory record also he
will pay the correct amount, is ex-
planned briefly as follows by NJ. r.
Benedict, farm management specialist
of the State college extension division:
Mr. AS receipts for 1918 were
$500. His expenses were $4,000.
showing a net income Of $500 with no
tax. He did not haul his crop to mar.
ket in the fall, having $500 worth of
it on hand His real income therefore
was $4,000 instead of $500. In 1919
he marketed both the 1919 and 1918
crops, The total tax was $44S without
inventory methods because of the 8
per cent tax above what was taxable
at 4 per cent. By the inventory meth
cd the tax distributed over two years
would be $248, or a saving of $500
Farmers who wish to have this eX-
planned more in detail should apply
to their county agent or write to Mr..
Benedict

DANGER IN FOOD

Botulinus poisoning, which recently
killed six in one family in New York,
is caused by eating spoiled food in.
fected with the bacillus botulinus, say
the officials of the Bureau of Chem
istry, United States Department OF
Agriculture, who have investigated
this and other poisoning cases in con
nection with the enforcement of the
food and drugs act In the New York
case death was caused by botulinus
poison in ripe olives. The olives re-
naming in the bottle in this case had
an offensive OdOr. The same condi-
tion was found in the food in other
cases investigated by the department
All spoiled food does not contain this
poison, but any spoiled food, even
though the spoilage be slight, may
contain it, and for this reason, say
the officials, all food showing even the
slightest unnatural odor, unnatural
color, swelling of the container signs
Of gas, or any evidence of decompo-
sition whatever should be discarded

NATIONAL DRY AMENDMENT

In commenting on the fact that As
prohibition amendment (New Jersey,
Connecticut and Rhode Island have
not ratifed), William H. Anderson,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, according to a report from
New York, said:
"An important thing to remember
is the fact that, while no referendum
on national prohibition was taken for
the reason that there was no way one
could be held, the dry amendment
was ratified exactly as all others have
been. Nine-tenths of the area and al
most twothirds Of the population Of
the United States were dry under
state and local action before prohibi-
ton became part Of the nations or
ganic law.
"The false charge is made that pro-
hbition was put over on the country
while American soldiers were fighting
in France The truth is that in Decem-
Der, 1914, the question was voted on in
congress and received a majority in
the lower house, but not the necessary
tWo-thirds required That fact made
it an issue Then, in the elections Of
1916, more than six months before an
American soldier had gone overseas,
republican and democratic candidates
committed to prohibition were elected
in many cases by these soldiers to con-
gress.
Prohibition was consummated ny
the moral element of American citi-
zenship, including the business ele-
ment, which recognized that alcohol,
even when moderately used, lessened
efficiency. The railroads were the first
to recognize this and as early as 1896
the Reading railroad ordered the dis
mssal of engineers or firemen who fire.
quented saloons. The Lackawana and
other roads adopted similar restric-
tions later. Life insurance actuaries
in their mortality figuers for 'moder-
ate drinkers clinched the argument
for abstinence in the business and
commercial world.
"The anti-liquor war in the United
States began in 1912 when the Mary
land colony passed law Furnishing
drunkenness by a fine of 100 pounds Of
tobacco. The long and uphill fight is
ended. Ohio is the only state that has
in its constitution provision that the
legislature must submit to referen-
dunn ratification of any amendment to
the Federal constitution. Even il the
vets win in Ohio that will not affect
the other states in two Of which the
Supreme courts have decided against
referendum"

DEATH FROM PNEUMONIA

Arthur Richard Bergh who was
brought to the Red Cross emergency
hospital with pneumonia on Monday,
February 2, died there at 6 o'clock
on Saturday evening following. About
a week before he was brought to the
hospital he had become very i'll and
when brought to the hospital the ply
sician in charge Of his case held little
hope of his recovery. The patient
was placed in a room entirely separ
ate from all all other patients and re-
ceived every care and attention pos
sible, but without avail.
Mr. Bergh was born December 4
1885, in Republican county, Kansas
and later came with his parents to
this county Since the death of his
parents several years ago he made
his home most of the time with his
sister, Mrs George Williamson, who
now with her husband occupy the DR.

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN FARMER

A woman farmer, Mrs. J. B. Bacon,
clears 100000 per year growing alfalfa
on her 1,000-acre ranch in Nebraska,
according to story circulating in the
farm press Of the country. She has
no stock Of any kind on her farm, not
even horses. All her hay-making ma
chinery is power driven. She stacks
the hay on the farm and sells it to
ranchmen who bring their cattle to
the farm and feed it there, thus re.
tanning the fertility of the land She
personally supervises all the work Of
cutting and stacking the hay, driving
about the ranch in a car during the
busy season. After the crop is sold
she leaves the place in charge of a
superintendent and spends her win
ters in New York City or in Europe,
where she is said to enjoy the fash
ionable life of the cities and to dress
and act her part with the best of such
society.

"The boys and girls are the finest

ing the farm bureau members to State

more the kind of training for citizen
ship which boys and girls get in the
very nature of farm life, the type of
cooperation which you cannot find
duplicated in any other life that we
know anything about. 1t would be
a good idea for farm bureaus to select
boys and girls to spend a week at the
college with their parents for an OPP
portunity of getting into touch with
the various phases of agriculture"

to the farm bureau. Farm women
have vital interest, she said, in three
outstanding problems, rural health

culture have apparently demonstrated
that bookkeeping grapes can be sue

This industry, in connection with the

rhe EOenin0 World
COLUMBUS, o., May T.
THERE have been many evi-
dences of the extravagant
use Of money in this State
in the past few weeks. and now
the Republican candidates or their
managers are trying to outdo
each other In charges OF corrup-
tlon. II there has been any diff
ference, It is not one OF morals.
On the other hand II is marked
only by the contrast Of figures.
The funds in the main came from
the same kind OF sources, and for
the same purpose
The primary system was devised
to bring about the nearest pos
sible expression OF public thought
with reference to candidates. 1t
goes without saying that some
money can be expended legiti-
mately, but question whether
any one who has observed the
events in this State recently will
deny that the primary cleo
ton result has been considerably
influenced by the expenditure of
money.
One does not have to make very
deep analysis in order to learn
just why 1t is that the Republican
leaders and the managers Of sew
eral Of the Presidential candidates
find 1t easy TO get money.
Thousands Of cheek books have
responded to a far seeing and a
selfish6 purpose. They yielded
large contributions under the be-
lief that . Governmental policy
can be bought which will insure
industrial peace by force.
II any one believes that the
bayonet instead OF the common
standards of justice Is to obtain
in this sort of thing, he is due
for very rude awakening.
