Winona, August ga study OF
the records of the municipal court
revealed that intoxication Nhas in
creased almost 300 percent since Jan
1, 1920, six months after war time
prohibition went Into effect on July
On July /. 1919, and for some time
following the wartime prohibition
law and later the Volstead law acted
as highly efficient cork for the bot
tie from which Winona together with
the rest of the United States, had
been imbibing according to the rec
ords, and the court was but rarely
visited by persons who had allowed
some of their leftover" stock to get
the better of them.
Steady Increase Shown
Then gradually the moonshiner
bootlegger team began to operate
here as in other parts of the coun-
try. and the number who were
brought up on charges of intoxication
increased, and has continued to In
crease until now almost every day
sees one or more such cases in court
In taking the figures from the
court records of the first six months
of the present year, only cases
where nothing but intoxication was
charged were used. Violations grow
ing out of intoxication, such as driv-
ing automobiles while intoxicated, ol
fighting and brawling were not in
cluded in the counnt, which might
otherwise have brought the percent,
age to 400 per cent.

Alexander WOoicott writes In the
North American Review that whatever
of bitterness and disappointment there
may be traced in the attitude toward
this country among certain French
people-and that bitterness is gro
tesquely exaggerated by some of the
uncomprehending tOurists-you find
none of it in the Aisne.

TRAILS ABOUND IN ROMANCE
Written Testimonial of the Trials and
Trumphs of the Men Who
Fashioned Them.

Nothing is more romantic than the
trail, remarks a writer in the Los An
geles Times. 1t is the artery Of trade
and life itself. On land it moves about
the bases of the mountains, out of the
lowlands, winding through the chapar-
raj, along the easy grades of the can
yons, never forcing it's way, but def
nitely avoiding the slippery rock face
and the poison oak; upward into the
fresh air that breathes through the
pass; on, through the pass and into
the unknown beyond, into the valley of
hearts desire it carries the laden mule
and the traveller with his pack.
Across the great deserts the trail is
q caravan route, seeking the shades of
cliff and avoiding the shifting dunes !;
stretching unerringly toward the next
water hole. 1t is the written testimo-
NAL of the trails and triumphs of the
men who have gone before. 1t Is the
only pathway of the devout pilgrim. as
of the warlike BedOuin. Every habita-
tion of man that has ever dominated
one of these great trails has made his
tory and has been In it's day a treasure

Trustworthiness Attracts.

If you can't be a genius you can
be safe and sane leader in your own
line You can make reliability your
motto and wrest from reluctant con-
ditions competence worthy of your
rating The majority of mortals are
not trustworthy. They do what at
tracts irrespective of what the results
may be. It's so easy to see the pot
of gold at the foot Of the rainbow
until you go after it. But promises
are variable quantities that require
sacrifices Of means or self to make
real. In the process much of the rosi-
hess loses its color and we find life
more commonplace than we dreamed.
So the honest seeker after place in
progress will try TO make good with
out leaning on fate. And by the
process of developing himself he will
often rise to the merit and reward
of genius. This is all nature offers
to men and they grow by using what
they have Grit.

taken as whole, is the most massive
range on the crust Of the earth. Its
average height above sea level is
greater than that of the Himalayas,
and although It's peaks are from 1000
to 5000 feet lower than Mount Ever

err than those of the Hlmalayas.
The eastern and western parts OF
this range were known before, but the
central and highest part, in Bongba,
was unexplored previous to Doctor
Hedin's visit. He crossed ten passes
in the range.
