Pictures and Prohibition.

There are probably very few who
viii attempt to deny that the saloon
.-ccper was responsible largely for
prohibition. He ovcrstepped the laws
50 frequently and was so conspicuous
as a leader of organized evil that
society finally wiped out his trade to
be rid Of him.
TIE motion picture producers who
are serving up cheap sex stories an
who are crowding the market with
these wares until it is hard TO find a
picture house that does not faunt sug-
gestive Autographs, are due to go
the way of the saloonkeeper. The
public will tire of their salaciousness
and the result will be the passage o.
censorship laws of such severity that
the picture business will have to be
rebuilt
The liquor business never listened
to warnings until TOO late. 1t made
the mistake of thinking that the only
people who favored cleanliness were
the people it sneered at as reform
ers." 1t forgot that man does not
need to be a reformer to be Secent

INTERESTING HEIRLOOM REACHES
JOHNSONTUS FROM HOLLAND HOME

J. j. B. Johnsonius received from
Holland this week, an heirloom of
which he is justly proud, and which
many of his friends will be interested
to see 1t is handsome Jan Steen
lainting, which has been in the
possession oil Mr.. Johnsonius' family
in Holland since 1880 Upon the
division of property following the
death of his mother in 1913, this
raster painting fell to Mr.. John
sonius, but he was afraid to try to
have it shipped into this country
until after the war, and it has been
on its journey here for several
months, and tied up in New York
since December owing to the amount
oi red tape attached to bringing a
foreign masterpiece into America.
This canvas by the distinguished
Dutch subject-painter, is "a Letter

polished wood The picture is of
course very valuable, outside the
sentimental attachment, which Mr..
Johnsonius feels for it.
Jan Havicksz Steen the painter of
this picture, born the son of a
llewer at Leiden in 1926, is said
10 surpass all Ditch figure painters
except of course Rembrandt, in his
wide range of subjects and his dra-
matte portraiture. His pictures of
children are delightful. He gave
the same artistic touch to elegant
interiors of wealthy homes and fine
houses that he did to lovely taverns
or Dutch cottages. His works are
full of humor, and often depict the
comedy of human life in happy
tolerance or gentle satire. He paint
ed religious subjects, card parties,
marriage feasts, doctors at the bed
SIDE of patients, the poor or rich
with equal success. His pictures are
famous for their clearness and trans.
rarency of coloring, correctness of
drawing, and apparent freedom of
touch. He painted few portraits.
The best known oil his paintings is
perhaps "The Music Master which

Another ToWn Gets
Ahead of Our City

notwithstanding the "howl' that
is going up from the ranks of few
non-pr -progressives in Paris, who are
opposing a bond issue for streets,
schools, parks, light extension, etc,
to the effect that the bonds cannot
be sold at a reasonable figure, de-
yclopments daily are to the con-
trary.
The little city Of Lawrenceburg,
Tenn, recently voted 100000
bond issue for street purposes, fol
loving an enabling act in the general
assembly just adjourned. They have
now sold one-half the issue, or
$50, 900 worth of the bonds to Cald-
we'll & Co, Nashville brokers, at 100
cents on the dollar. A report in the
Nashville Tennessean last Saturday
said that "a number of buyers
throughout the country answered
the bids"
1t might also be well to state that
according to the last general report
O; the Federal Reserve Bank, as is
sued from st. Louis, buyers are seek
ins municipal bonds and not the
bonds seeking the buyers.
1t would also not be amiss to men
tion that when the bond sisue was
voted on at Lawrenceburg last month
there was only ONE lone vote
against it, pretty much in the same
as the bond issue will go
over in Paris whenever it is
launched.

X-Ray Treatment
BY Local Surgeon

Dr. Milton c. Virgins is having
this week a new XRay
rnachine that is complete in every
detail, and of the type of machine
used in the large clinics throughout
the famous northern and eastern
hospital centers.
The machine that Dr. Virgins is

Mfg. Co.. and is the class of machine
used in the Mayo institute at
Rochester, Mimi, and the Johns
Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore. Dr.
Virgins is making a careful study
OF photography and with this inn
proved equipment will be able to
treat any local skin affection, in ad
dition to making x-Ray photographs
from any position. The machine is
being erected by Willis H. Hefner,

phis, the southern distributors of
this improved machine. He expects
