CLAIMS CUCUMBER
RAISING CHAMPIONSHIP

The State Industrial School for

From a single acre the girls at the

picked three tons of picking cucum-

days picking would add between
200 and 800 pounds to the total
from the single acre.
The girls school will have an ex-

EUGENE G. MILLER
On the Modern Hotel

TNHE more intimate relation of host and
l. guest that one time distinguished the
hotel has given way to more distant and
businesslike relation, according to Eugene
G. Miller, prominent hotelman of this
city.
There has been a noticeable change, even
in the last ten years." said Mr.. Miller, but
the prevailing note is more reserved, more
matter of fact attitude on the part of the
public and a distinct absence of that good
fellowship spirit that at one time dis
tinguished the hostelry.
MANY events probably have conspred to
bring about this change, but there is no
question but that the greatest factor has
been the advent of prohibition.
'This has affected the hotel In many ways.
In the days gone by there was doubtless
small percentage of people who did not
conduct themselves as they should in public
places after drinking. But if any one
imagincs that this has been obviated by
prohibition he Is mistaken. frankly
can say that we have more trouble today
than we ever had before with this matter.
People who never knew the taste OF liquor
before are the ones largely affected and, when
the authorizations used are considered. It Is
small wonder that many people go of their
head
"At one time we could control this mat
ter. 1t was possible to ascertain when 10
call halt. But today they come with 1t
on their hip and concealed in every con-
ceivabe way. They are all ages, and doing
it on the sly rs they do, they consume more
than they would have in the old days. Inc
old story of not being allowed to do thing
and rebelling against it seems to be the
case, as most of the people are of the type
that would be absolutely above reproach.
Hotels Big Losers
"The sociabiity and good fellowship that
used to distinguish banquets are gone. The
come and get 1T over with attitude is one
of the most striking results. That pro-
hibition has been a great loss to the hotel,
Durdencd with great overhead, goes with
out saying.
'One recent development growing out OF
this condition has been the growth of the
cafeteria style of service. Quick service Is
the thing that many seem to want now.

foreign aid, and especially without assistance
from nation still functioning under the
hated principles of capitalism.
A few weeks will reveal the truth. Wal
ter I. Brown, European director of the
American Relief Administration, has al
ready reached Riga, and has been told by
Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet envoy, that
every American will be freed.
America can afford to allow the situation
to develop. II is Russia which must hurry
if hundreds Of thousands of lives are to be
saved, Where Lcnine, if he is really spar
ring for time, is in error. is in confusing
political questions with human necessities.
Right thinking Americans are not dwell
ing upon the possibilities of Soviet col
lapse because of the proposed relief invasion.
They are genuinely eager to stem the tide
of an appalling tragedy. Holding such opin =.
ions, however, they are perfectly justified
in stipulating the release of their own coun-
trymen.
That is consistent view Of the case and
cannot logically be construed as quibbling
over terms within sight of the imminent
death of a potentially great nation.
