PROHIBITION AND THE PRESS

A southern editorial writer believes
that violation Of the prohibition laws
is no more fitting a subject for jests.
than is the crime Of burglary, and that
newspapers are partly responsible for.
the difficulty in enforcing these laws.
He says: W. III N s
"Those who aspire to see the pre-
hibition laws enforced will hold the
daily newspapers, and especially the
makers Of comic strips, responsible
for great deal Of the trouble that
exists at present. s@5l 's
e 1T is difficult to pick up a great
daily newspaper in which, upon some
page, you will not find some jest sr.
some picture which has for its motif
|a thrust at the prohibition nalsws. The
spirit underlying a great numberrof
the comics is the delight to Be -
tained from the surTeptitious manu-
facture and consumption q alcoholic
liquors." .55S 4: :s,-sN1s. ~

STARKWEATHER
(Starkweather Times)

Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Matson and
children and Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hat
ten and children came up from Devils
Lake Sunday for short visit at the
T. NJ. Reed home. Mrs. Hatten and
children remained here for few days
while the others in the party returned
home Sunday evening.
The past week has been one of the
hardest on fingers in the history of
the local community. Sausage grind
esr played a prominent part in the as
saule made upon the digits while one
washing machine claimed a victim.
The first victim of the accidents
was Mrs. Clyde Book, living north
west of Starkweather. Mrs. Book was
engaged in making sausage last Fri
day and just as she was completing
her work the second finger on her left
hand was draw. into the machine and
badly injured.
Donald Chirstens, nine year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Christens, liv-
ing southeast of Starkweather, got
his finger into washing machine
last Saturday. The finger wss badly
lacerated and it will probly be neces-
sary to remove it.
J. S. Reed, brother T. M. Reed, was
the third victim. Mr.. Reed was max
ing sausage at local meat market
Monday, when he got his hand too far
into the machine. The second finger
on his left hand was so badly crushed
that it had to be removed,
As has been the custom for the past
few years, Starkweather will have a
community Christmas tree and pro-
gram again this year. At a meeting
of the permanent committee held Mon
day evening, the date for the affair
was set for Friday evening, Dec. %.
The community Christmas tree and
program has proven to be very pop
ular in the past. Instead of several
different Christmas programs by
several different organizations, all the
affairs have been combined into one,
and in previous years they have work.

Here's a bit of characteristic humor
from North Dakota's poet laureate. 1t

fitted for family and party reading at

Pindar Peel of PAssamquoddy
Made some birthday apple toddy
An gets snubbed by everybody

He put apple brandy in it,,
Put hot water in t. thin it;
Stood an hour t stir an spin it,
Timed it to tn very minute.
Watched it with tn tenderest feelin' ,
Knowed it would be soothin', healin' ,
Grated in some orange peelin',
Toddy, say! That was real 'un.

Sent bid to everybody :
To jine him in apple toddy

1t had big baked apples fioatin',
In it, an was notin',
Nutmeg smell, and Peel was totin',
Glasses round and jest a-gloatin'.
Ezry Beggs was thar, an Struthers,
Homer Blake an Job Caruthers;
Treadwell Pew an his two brothers,
Me an half dozen others.
We set thar while a-gassin',
Crackin' jokes an neighbor-sassin',
An while toddy was a-passin',
Ye sh'd hear tn tongues unfasten.
Me nor Job ner anybody
Ever drunk sech apple toddy,
Made all-wool without no shoddy
In tn days O. Passemquoddy.
Never see sech sly, deceivin',
Stuff as that-past all believin',
Put the real kibosh on grievin',
Loosed up tongue-tied fellers even.

BY JOHN RAYMOND
THE ALcHEM1sT's DREAM

Through the literature of the an
clients runs the absorbing story of the
alchemist's patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garret and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper" And more than hat,
by means Of this magic elixir. in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man of four score into .
prattling child.
Certainly. chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marxels.
The philosophers stone still is an un-
known quantity to science, buried. per-
haps, with the pot Of gold at the rain
bows end. and the elixir Of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain to find 1t III. the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished Won
ders by the utilization Of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
