PRESS COMMENT
Hunting The Home Brewer

Home-brewing grows more per-
ilous all the time. If the man who
"makes his own avoids blowing
up the house or poisoning himself
or getting into trouble with the
local police, Uncle Sam is likely to
catch him sooner or later. Uncle
is now getting after the law-break-
ers more holly than even, and he
wants it explicitly understood that
the home brewer is among them.
Not only will the amateur brew
er himself not be tolerated, but
according to the latest ruling he
will not be able to buy brewing or
distilling outfits. Stores selling
such devices are to be closed up;
likewise factories making them, or
making recognizable parts of them
Materials too, frankly intended for
such illicit use are outlawed.
When Uncle Sam gets so much
in earnest, and local authorities
show an increasing willingness to
help him, the home brewers
might as well give up. 1t never
was worth while anyway.-Bur-
lington News.

EDITORIAL
THE HUNTING SEASON

While the growing scarcity of
game has made hunting less at
tractive, yet many men travel
many miles for a little sport in the
woods, and the automobile makes
distant hunting grounds more ac-
cesible.
A good many people nowadays
do not approve of hunting. They
would prefer to see wild animals
and birds permitted to enjoy their
free life unmolested. Still hunting
is SO deep rooted an instinct, in
herlted from so many generations
of primitive ancestors, that it will
be common practice for many
years. If it is legitimate to k II
a sheep for her luscious mutton
chops, it must be equally legiti-
mate to kill a deer or wild duck
for use as food.
Hunting takes men out of the
wearisome routine of their daily
life, frightening up their wits by
the necessity of matching Their
brains against the instinct of wild
life. Most men return to their
work refreshed by hunting trip,
with the strength of the hills and
the restfulness of the woods Civ
ing tonic to their previously
weary steps.

Educational Problems

Education can not be poured in
to the human mind. 1t has to be
self-acquired, whether it be by a
Lincoln using his burned stick be-
fore fireplace, or by the modern
youth guided by the best profess
sors in our best universities. Ed
ucation is, always has been and al
ways will be an individual problem,
and when all is said and done, all
that an educational system can
contribute toward real education is
the awakening of the desire to
learn and then to direct that de-
sire to learn and then to direct
desire along the most profitable
channels.
The best place to get a proper
conception of our educational
problems is to go directly back to
our early days; to study the his
tory Of our early times and the
men and women who accomplished
so much with so little to do with.
That is the side of history that
should be stressed in the schools
this week-and in the homes as
well. Our history is an enhancing
as a novel and is as full of meat
as a nut. The more we know of
our past the better will we live
and develop in the future.-St.
Adams Messenger.
