AGAINST THE PRoFITEERs

We read in the papers that they ART
still after the profteers. Some in
ventor having a grudge against the
bootblacks has invented shoe-shin
ing machine which shines two shoes
at the same time and all for a nickle
All you have. to do is to drop the
money in the slot, put your feet in
position and get the shine. You not
only save a nickle, that is you do in
such places as Abbeville where they
charge a dime, but you save a lot of
valuable time, because you get two
shoes shired in the time it formerly
took to shine one.
Likely we will have one of these
machines in Abbeville shortly unless
he shine-boys decide to head off the
machine by themselves shining shoes
for a nickle. They cannot, of course,
shine two shoes at once unless there
is partnership arrangement, but
time is not as valuable now as money,
and we can afford to wait.

BOOZE BY WIRELESS

Chicago, April 2.-Booze by wire

Yep. It's the latest method in Chi

Mr.. Clyne received a complaint

who said he intercepted a wireless
flashed from the old Twenty-seeond
street district to haywood recently,
1t was:
"Mike Costello did not get his
booze on time last Thursday night.
If this happens again payment vii!

DRY LAWS OF STATE
ARE STILL IN FORCE
Volstead Act Does Not Repeal State
Law; Supreme Court Holds
In Decision.

Columbia, 8. c., April l.--ihat
tie Volstead act does not repeal or
slpersede the State prohibition laws
is the opinion Of the South Carolina
supreme court in an opinion by
Chief justice Gary, handed down
Friday. The case is that Of the state
against Bill Hartley, Of Balnwell
county, convicted on the charge OF
manufacturing and having in his
possession liquor unlawfully.
The case was appealed by Hartley
on the ground that the statutes OF
this state In regard to the lnanufac-
ture, sale and transportation Of In
toxicating liquors were repealed by
the eighteenth amendment TO the
constitution Of United States.
Chief Justice Gary's opinion holds
that the second section Of the amend
rnent to the effect that Congress
and the several states shall have con
current power to enforce this article
by appropriate legislation" cannot
be made effective by the several
states. "Unless they enact statutes
making the manufacture, sale and
transportation Of intoxicating
liquors for beverages purposes an
offense against the laws OF this
State. The amendment contemplates
independent legislation both on the
part Of congress and the several
states; and the constitutionality Of
state statute must be determined
as one by a resort to the provisions
Of the amendment"
There is nothing in the amend.
ment indicating an intention to re-
peal or supersede the legislation OF
the several states" says the opinion
of the court" whenever the enforce
ment of such legislation would aid
carrying into effect the provision Of
the amendment"
Under this ruling Of the supreme
court the first opinion on such case
since enactment Of the National Vol.
stead law, a prohibition defendant is
liable to prosecution under both
State and Federal statutes, and
liable to punishment under both for
the one offense..

BRITISH STROKE
NOT DIsoRDERLY
Proceeds Without Incident In Eon-
don-Mires To Be Flooded.

London, April 3.-No serious dis
orders have occurred yet in the
great mining strike, although a
number Of the coal mines have been
left by the pump men-and engineers
to be flooded, and the men are said
to be displaying an uglier temper,
especially in South Wales. Fears are
expressed that there may be much
wider withdrawal of the enginemen
and pumpmen and the government
is taking all necessary precautions.
It is expected that on Monday or
ders will be issued for the drastic
rationing of coal for lighting pur-
poses, householders being reduced to
one hundredweight weekly and fac
tories and business concerns to so
per cent. of their normal consump-
ton.
Food supplies are ample for the
present, according to the board of
trade and there is no anxiety on this
score unless breakdown is trans
port occurs.
Long statements were sent out to-
day for publication by the new chan
cellor of the exehequor, Sir Robert
Stevenson Horne, in behalf Of the
government, and by Arthur Hender-
son and Frank Hodges for the min
ers, justifying the opposing atti-
tudes, The miners' representatives
accuse the government Of heedlessly
precipitating the crisis Of premature
removal of control over the indus
try. ''''* .. -@'.'.
= The chancellor ignores this point
and bases his statement upon the
impossibility of asking taxpayers to
shoulder further burdens in order
to subsidize the coal industry or of
submitting to intimidation aimed at
forcing the government to agree to
such subsidy.

THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL

If we are to have new high school
building, by all means let US get a
new location for it and build it where
1t may be seen and where it will be a
credit to the people Of the city. Of
course if the prices asked for lots are
80 high that lot cannot be purchas-
ed, and if lands near the present high
school building may be purchased at
a small figure, the board of trustees
might listen to the economy argu
ment.
But we are building a school which
will stand perhaps for forty years, In
that time the building ON the, present
: high school lot will have become de-
lapidated. 1t cannot be made to pre-
sent very good appearance even
now. To build new building costing
seventy-fve thousand dollars at the
rear Of the present building would
be hiding our light, to some extent at
least, under bushel.
But there is a more potent argu-
fnent still against building on the
present lot. We cannot secure suffic-
tent land at the present location to
have tennis courts, baseball = :

Sugar Factory Is
Ready To Operate
the Middle of October and
lime Product Guaranteed

In summing up the industries
that have had marked effect In
steadying the local conditions
through the infusion of new money,
the sugar factory Is frequently over
looked, or at all events not given
the credit due. TO those who are in
closer touch with the community In
come the circulation of Lahontan
Valley Sugar Company checks at
regular intervals there Is a distinct
realization that very considerable
sum of money is being directed into
trade channels from this source.
This is new, or outside money In the
strietest sense of the word and it
should be source of qualification
to the citizens of Fallon that this
substantial institution is once more
back with us with a determination
to become an established entity
However, the farmers OF this val
ley should bear in mind that 1t is
only their cooperation that the fac
tory can succeed. Ii we are to have
an established industry in this COM
munity that can be relied upon to
furnish certain market for beets,
someone must raise the beets. Ex-
perienee has demonstrated that the
best crops are those planted on land
that has been plowed in the fall, as
it takes much less water for irriga-
tion and early planting produces the
best crop.
After all, the sugar factory will
assume just that Importance In the
industrial scheme of the community
that the farmers elect to make 1t.
The men who are backing 1t finan-
ctally have proven their faith in the
possibilities of this valley for sugar
beet culture by advancing appreci-
able sums both in factory repairs
and changes and in seed and crop
cultivation. Their success Is inex-
tricably bound up with the success
of the beet raiser. AS in all new
ventures there is certain to be mis-
takes, disappointments and draw
backs. But the prosperity of other
sections where the sugar factory has
demonstrated that no crop produced
by the farmer is as certain, as de-
pendable or more profitable.
Manager Hinze informs the STAN
dard that the changes and improve
ments In the factory will all be fin
ished in time for the fall run which
will begin about the middle of Oc-
tober
There is a disposition on the part
of the people of the State to Buy
at home," and a market for the out
put is already assured. Mr.. Hinze
says that fine grade of granulated
sugar will be turned out that will
bear comparison with the best that
is produced anywhere In the United
States.
