In Thursdays dailies was a report
of a pastor" in Salt Lake who made
a speech before company of the
American Legion in which he said
Prohibition was forced onto this
country when the boys were over in
Europe, and that the crime wave and
labor disturbances in the United
States arc due TO this and other blue
laws" He said mouth full. While
here we have low prices and discon-
tent in other places it is different.
For instance, in Dublin, Ireland,
the drunkenness" city in the world,
there is peace and quiet and every
body is happy and eontented. In fact
this tranquility exists all over Eng

WATER RENT HIGH BUT
1T INSURES A CROP

We think the water and mainten-
anee charges are high in the Meridian
country, but we should remember
that the water insures a crop, Farm
ers in the Dakotas, for instance, are
putting in their seed with no guaran-
tee but that there will be repetition
of the crop failure OF the past three
years. Farming in an irrigated
country has its advantages, for even
crop with a demoralized market 10
better than no crop at all.
