MUDEROUS MOONSHINE.

"Moonshine" whiskey used to have a rather poetical association. It has yet, in the minds of some modern trip piers who sadly compare the boot leg" stuff they get with what they have heard of 'pure" whiskey made under the open sky among southern hills. From the Cordele (Ga.) Dis patch comes disillusionment.
 ''The man who will take a drink of 'moonshine' liquor whose making he did not superintend himself cares little about his term of years on this planet.
 "The writer of these lines in the good year 1920 looked into the dead faces of three men, every one of them heads of families, who gave their lives to wildcat liquor.
 These three dead men, their fun erals and flowers, their widows and orphans, and the toll of mothers and the little ones they left to struggle in the world-all these frightful things are preaching more powerful sermons against moonshine liquor than any eloquence of prohibition lecturers we have heard in years.'
 In what state one almost feels like saying, in what comunity-can this sad story not be duplicated Home brew, wood alcohol and deadly concotions of hundred kinds have taken heavy toll in the last year or two, and are taking it still. Even in Canada, which many Americans mis- takenly regord as a sort of alcoholic paradise, and which is now nearly all legally as dry as this country, tells the same story. A Candaian news paper remarked lately that "so for as the ordinary citizen is concerned, there is no pure whiskey in the world onw."
 As knowledge of this fact spreads it has, indeed, more effect than

METHOD OF LIVING MUST
 UNDERGO SOME CHANGES
By Clio Harper


 In the readiustment of industrial, financial and social conditions, which must follow falling prices of commo- dities and reduced wages, there must be some radical changes in the method of living which has become popular during the last few years of inflated values
 As the prices of farm products and industrial products fall, all wages and salaries must necessarily follow This fact is realized by all economists The general public, which IS, after all. a bigger factor in the situation than either the capitalist or the laborer, must have some consldera- tion. But the general public itself IS not wholly without fault. One of the greatest of these faults IS extrava- gance and improvidence. Come easy, go easy, has been the policy adopted by many. They have spent with the prodigality of prince, believing that the golden flood would continue forever But it has stopped. It has been damned at the source. Those who made princely salaries or wages during and immediately after the war, now find themselves looking for employment or willing to accept any work at living wage.
 One of the most striking illustra- tions of the orgy of spending and improvident use of money has come to light in Little Rock and it may be taken as typical of many cases throughout the country A white man who has been common laborer all his life, and his three sons, were em- ployed last year in work which yield ed then a daily income of $47,5O Intoxicated with their opulence, and it permanent no doubt, they proceeded to buy three automobiles, as they were compelled to have separ- ate cars to take them to their work They bought $15 silk shirts, S19 shoes and other attire in keeping with their desire to emulate the wealthy residents of the city. During this time they also loaded their table with luxuries, although they were living in a rented house. Then the slump came Now they have lost all their jobs. They cannot pay their rent. They are glad to get work at even $2 a day. In their back yard are two scrap piles, which year ago were cheap automobiles, and another is in a garage, held for repair charges, It is just such conditions as these that are bringing about more distress and financial difficulty than falling prices or industrial unrest.

A red-hot rivet dropped from ship undergoing regairs into oil-coated debris in the Mississippi River caused the ten-million dock fire at New Or leans in January, according to Geo. W. Booth, chiey engineer of the Nat ional of Fire underwriters. MT Booth states the reports that the fire was caused by an electric light wire was erroneous; that "There were no cleo tric wires anywhere near the scene of this fire" There is tendency to ex- plain any fire of mistery origin as due to defective wiring" or "an electric light wire" and this statement from an authority indicates that electricity is dlamed when fires are due to other causes.

MOTHERS DAY

A bright red rose for mother.
 If she fingers with us yet; A white one if she's laid away
 Meath rose and violet. What if the tear-drops ghsten
 And trickle down the cheek, They open up the treasures
 Of which we cannot speak; They take us back in memory
 Of the days when we were young When life was glad and happy,
 With one exultant song. And if we live forever
 In some fair land above, Our hearts will turn in gladness
 To home and mother-love. God spake her in existence,
 And shared with her his love That she might help to lead us
 In paths that end above. And so a toast to mother
 Who loves us, good or bad, The sweetest friend e'er given
 To lassie or lad

PASSING OF THE DUEL

Cervantes gave the last punch to chivalry that toppled it from it's horse by making fun of it. Every body read Don Quixote, laughed, and chivalry was done. Not even iron clothes could turn aside the shafts of ridicule. And perhaps what Cervant- es did for the age of iron shirts a French deputy, M. Levasseur, may be doing for the age of dueling which still continues in some parts of the world, even the very modern nation of France. The other day another deputy imagined he had been insulted by Levasseur and sent his seconds around to arrange a 'meetin" M. Levasseur showed the deputies two doubled up fists and announced that these were the weapons he would use as they were all that nature had giv- en him to fight with. The seconds went back to their principal and noth- ing more has been heard from the challenge.
 The bare fist, American style, may be mightier than the rapier or the dueling pistol. It may be that after a while French deputies can get up and in the heat of debate say almost as many things about each other as an American congressman can say about another and get away with it. And French is language that lends itself especially we'll to particular ization in the matter of insult. Many things can be said in French that, in translation, would mean nothing to any American, but which in the orig inal would make a Ffenchman see red
 Perhaps the French boxer Carpen- tier, who laid the champion of Eng land, the land of beef, low, with pun ches low with his gloved fist, and has something to do with preparing the French public to accept without pop ular distain the readiness of a deputy to fight with his fists to give "satis- faction" to another statesman who thought himself nisulted. Blows with the fist in other days were not gen tlemanly, althaugh it was perfectly gentlemanly to puncha hole in another mans chest with ball or steel Car pentier, by showing that a french man could meet the boxers of Eng land and conquer them, may have made it possible for a deputy to put ridicule on the code duello. Think of two elderly French statesmen, poss- ibly with flowing white whiskers or spade boards, trying to bring the clar- ct from each others nose or punch ing each others sentorial pauch, with seconds standing by ready to swing towel betwwen rounds. Then and there the duel would die.

HOW THEY SUCCEEDED
The Experience of a Colony oil

About a quarter of centuryiago D
colony of Polish settlers whoseI finan.
cial resources were extremely limited
contracted to purchase large tract
Of cutover landi in northern Wisconsin.
The price to be paid for the land
ranged from g$12 ito $50 an acie and
although the value of the forest prod.
ucts remaining on the land w4s con.
siderable, there was not an acre that
could be cultivated until clearing had
been made.
The colonists were poor people ;
none of them had enough money to
make full pas sment for his land; they
lacked teams, farm machinery, live
stock and implements. Not having
funds with which to bny lumber, they
put up log and pole shelters and COW
cred them with boughs to keep off the
rain.
Looked Like = Desperate Venture.
Predictions were freely made by
many persons-on the theory that they
were acquainted with all of the facts
relating 10 theZresonrces OF the colo
nists-that the experiment would prove
a failure and the settlers would be
starved out. - ~
But there were resources available
which the prophets Of, disaster had not
taken into account and which proved
to be the deciding factors In the battle
for success. Industry, Thrift and
Courage won the day. fitfg
In less than fifteen years this set
tlement became noted for Its prosper
ity. Good. substantial houses and
barns, fine teams, dairy COWS and mod
ern farm implements and machinery
furnished all the evidence required. to
prove that the experiment in home
building was all that could be desired.
Built $42,oo Church.
In the meantime they had built a
church aear the center OF the COM
munity which. was reported to have
cost $4,000.
But each individual colonist was
working for .prize--a home and. land
that wotlld support his fatiily In com;
fort and pass as an estate to his heirs.
T11is WAS an old world notfops which
had Its 'orlgin in country where the
winning Of a permanent home was a
dream seldom realized hy the poor
classes. To gain this prize they were
willing TO work bard, practice strict
economy. save the pennies Eand get
rich Slowly. s4sA "a sf
- They Are. No Longer Poor.
This is case where an entire COM
munity, the members Of which were
educated In the habits Of Thrift In the
old world, furnished an object lesson
to their neighbors. None of these colo
nists was a "Spender,,' Good Fel-
low or an Easy Mark" but they can
now buy anything they need and pay
