eff as is declared by its enemies,
the Nonpartisan League has proved a
failure in North Dakota, then all that
is needed is to show that fact and the
organization will make little head

lent however in my opinion merely to
condemn the Nonpartisan League on
account of what Townley may or may
not have done. Opposition to the or
ganization to be permanently effec-
tive must show that it is based on a
wrong economic theory. The leader
ship may be bad but that can be
changed. Of course if the leadership
is bad and the organization refuses
to change it, that would be a va1ic
reason for opposing it. but finally it
will live or die its merits or lack
of merit. 1 hope the discussion will
be open, far and thorough If that
course is followed I have no fear

TO AVOID STALK POISON

Knowing that the so-caIled corn
stalk disease is caused by the forma-
ton of prussic acid due to the freez-
ing of the sap, the only remedy is to
neutralize the poison. The best way
to do this is to feed some roughness
before turning the cattle out on the
stalks. Never turn them out with
empty stomach A hay is best and
will ward off all danger. There is
need to feed them corn they will
get enough of that anyway Be sure
to give them plenty of water and salt.
Here is a cure for cornsta1k disease:
Death to cattle from eating corn
stalks may be prevented by giving
one pint of salt containing three
tablespoons of turpentine. This
| should be dissolved in three pints of
| warm water and given in drenching
| bottle. Even after the animal is
| down and unable to walk it can be re
| lieved in 80 minutes and in the end
permanently cured. After the drench
rub half pint of turpentine the
animal just behind the shoulders
on both sides and then along the neck
veins to the brisket. This will probably
| react the nervous system The salt
| will Immediately penetrate the dry
| husks in the stomach. While turpen-
| tine entering the blood will counter
act the nerve trouble produced by the
| husks therein.-A. R. Wells in Good

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE IN
KANSAS

From the information at hand The
World does not believe the workings
and principles of the non-partisan
league are practical and for the best
interests of the people of the state of
Kansas, but we believe the people
should be informed upon it before ex-
element or violence is engaged in.
As good an article as we have been
able to find in the form of advice on
the subject comes from the pen of
Tom McNeal in the last issue of the
Kansas Farmer and Mail and Breeze.
1t is as follows:
EfThere has been great deal of ex-
element out at Salina and in the vi
entity for the past week or two on
account of the Non-partisan League

TRUE ATHLETICS

In our games here at High School
we notice that our students do all
the roofing for the home team and APP
parently do not recognize a brilliant
play pulled off by the opposing team.
That is not the true spirit of the
gamer Besides wanting the large
end of the score it is well to applaud
the nice clean plays of an opposing
team, good cheer and show that we
are not selfish and that we recognizc
a good play whether it is done by one
of the home team or a member of the
visiting team. The principles of ath-
1etics is to build up a clean, moral,
manly student body, one of the high
est type of manhood and womanhood-
We can always appreciate it better
when our home teams pull down the
big end of the score 1t means we
know how to play the Quinter
Advocate.

GETTING RID OF RUM.

1.-THE way to get rid of the rum in the country is
to drink it, said certain congressman during one
of the Volstead debates and it begins to look a.
though he right. So long there is any ten
dollar quart liquor in hiding there will be those
who will risk Jail to sell it. So long there is any
considerable taste for whisky, there will be those
who will pay the price.
The booze habit long time In forming, and
it will not be broken in a day. The men who have
a liking for liquor will continue to banker for 1t
probably long they live but year by year theiS
number will become less. Only few young men are
acquiring the drinking habit where before the
days of prohibition millions of them were cultvating
a taste for alcoholic beverages.
Ten years hence great majority Of the habitual
drinkers will have passed beyond and the number
of those who have the desire for drink to extent
that will prompt them to buy at smuggers prices
or risk the poison of the moonshine stuff will be
proportion-fewer.
It's long, hard game. this enforcement OF the
prohibition amendment, but let nobody think for
moment that the temper of the people Is toward
return of the saloon. AS evidence as to how they
feel on this subject may be found in the defeat OF
practically every political candidate who has recent
~ run on an out-and-out wet platform.

of himself in the performance.
1t could not be otherwise; formal speech, how
ever brief made to the attentive ears of an Import

bility nor dignity when wrestling with the French
tongue and doubtless he now wishes. with his fell

Scarcely any foreign writer had such an advance

came and tried to speak English. None could IN
derstand him. Respect became Impotence, impa-
tience became indignation, and almost rdicule. The
Maeterlinck popularity dwindled and the Belgian
mystic dropped from the public eye.
This should be lesson, and a sound one, to less
er men, Pershing is an army officer OF high rank,
and good one he symbolizes to foreign eyes the
American military service. If his audience could
not understand his English. 1t appears they must
have had equal difficulty interpreting his French,
so all things being equal he could have saved his own
dignity by simply impressive gratitude expressed

We choose to regard ourselves invincibe-as
miracle men. We exalt wrath because it gave
courage to strike. Like liquor, anger nerves
to do that from which our fear would otherwise
deter We come to regard 1t as a virtue.
Brave men need not the impetus of wrath to
nerve them to meet obstacles or fight battles 1t
is towards weapon, used in place of brave

Anger blinds us until we cannot see where we

he held the egg beater right close
to the nose of the Wolf and turned

those unfortunate children who
would otherwise have no Christmas
candies, nuts and toys, and the
many Christmas trees and mistle-

show that the Christmas spirit is
abroad in the mountains and is
lowering over the camp. Truly it is
more blessed to give than to receive,
and makes one happier.
And yet others have been
thoughtful of us, and 1t brings Joy
to ones heart to know that others
are trying to make him happy. We
have received gifts and best wishes
to make the day a success, and the
new buildings going up show that
these wishes are for our permanent
esod. AS truly as ever a maiden
was, we have been wooed by those
who love us. and as truly have we
been won.

from town to spend Christmas with
us, and this one day in the year we
will spend lavishly.

trouble borrowing pudding any
where today, and she will be so
disappointed if she can't give
some to her animal lady friends. I
know what I'll do; I'll make her
a pudding myself"
Uncle Wiggily was not afraid to
do anything. Down he went to the
kitchen to make Christmas pud-
ding. He knew something about
buildings. He knew you had to put
INTO them sugar, milk, eggs and
other things.

are the other things?" Uncle wig

He twinkled his pink nose and
Topped his ears up and down.

and sugar together and then I'll

gar in big yellow bowl, stirring
them with the g-beater, when,
all at once, the door opened.
