TAG DAY

Since the founding of the library
by them in 1916, the Current Event
club each year has put on a tag day
for the benefit of the library book
fund.
This spring they have chosen
May 10 and 20 for this community
donation; Friday will be for the
schools and Saturday for the down
town districts.
Tag day gives a chance to the
people of the county to show their
appreciation Of the service that is
extended to them tho the library
tax is levied only within the city
limits. /
The tag day money always is ex-
pended only after a careful study of
book reviews and lists as compiled
by the foremost librarians and pub
fishers Of the United States, so that
every dime given counts for worth
while books.

side public house was a place of

side public house was a place of
sustenance and comfort, a human
need that might be wanted at any
hour. It vas in the same class as q
life-bOat or emergency ambulance.
Under the old common law the inn
keeper must supply meat and drink
at any hour. If he was asleep, the
traveller might wake him. And in
those days meat and drink were re-
garded in the same light.
Note how great the change is. In
modern life in England there is
nothing that you dare wake up a
man for except gasoline. The mere
fact that you need a drink is no
longer held to entitle you to break
his rest.
In London especially one feels the
full force of the Closing regula-
ton. The bars open and shut at in
tervals like daisies blinking at the
sun. And, like the flowers, at even
ing they close their petals with the
darkness.
A City Of Dreadful Night
In London they have already
adopted the deadly words and
phrases of the prohibitionist, such
as "alcohol," liquor traffic." and SO
on, and already the sale Of spirits
stops absolutely at about II o'clock
at night.
This means that after theatre
hours London is a "city Of dreadful
night" The people from the theatres
scuttle to their homes.. The lights
are extinguished in the windows.
The streets darken. Here and there
a belatd taxi still moves. At mid
night the place is deserted. At / a..
m. the lingering footballs echo in the
empty street. Here and there a
restaurant on a fashionable street
makes a poor p~retense of keeping
open. for after-dinner parties. Odd
people, the shivering wrecks of
theatre parties, are huddled here
and there. A gloomy waiter lays a
sardine On the table. The guests
charge their glasses with lithia
water or citrate Of magnesia. They
eat the sardine and vanish into the
night. Not even Oshkosh, Wis, or
M~iddlebury, VT, is quieter than is
the night life Of London.
1t may, no doubt, be a wise thing
to go to bed early. 1t is a terrible
thing to 60 to bed by Act of Parlia-
ment.
All Of which means that the peo-
pie of England are not facing the
prohibition question fairly and
squarely.
II they see no harm in CONSUMING
alcohol" they ought to say so and
let their code of regulations reflect
the fact. But the CLOSING" and reg
ulating' and Squeezing" Of the
liquor traffic" without any out
spoken protest means letting the
whole case 60 by default.
Under these circumstances an or
ganized and active minority can al
ways win and impose its will upon
the crowd.-Coypright 1922 by P. F.

platform is not a thing to be disre-
garded. It might kill him. Nor is
it altogether safe for a chairman
himself, a man already in middle
life, to be exposed to a current of
cold air.
In this case, therefore. the chair
man suggested that he thought 1t
might be "prudent"-that was his
word, "prudent"-if l should take a
small drop of whisky before encount-
ering the draft. In return l told him
that l could not think of his accom-
panying me to the platform unless
he would let me insist on his taking
also a very reasonable precaution.
Whisky taken on these terms not
only feels like a duty, but it tastes
better.
In the same way I find that in
Scotland it is very often necessary to
take something to drink on purely
meteorological grounds. TIL e
weather simply cannot be trusted. A
many may find that on going out
into the weather. he is overwhelmed
by a heavy log or an avalanche Of
snow or a driving storm. of rain.
In such a 49, a mere drop of
whisky might save his life. 1t would
be folloy not to take it.
Seventeen Scotch Reasons
Again, coming in out Of the
weather" is a thing not to be trifed
with. A person coming in unpre-
pared and unprotected might be
seized with angina pectoris or ap-
pendicitis and die upon the spot. No
reasonable person would refuse the
simple precaution of taking a small
drop Immediately after his entry.
I find that, classified all together,
there r seventeen reasons ad-
vanced in Scotland for taking
| whisky.
They run as follows: Reason one:
Because it is raining. Two: Because
1t is not raining. Three: Because
you are just going out into the
weather. Four: Because you have
just come in from the weather. Five
or, no, I forget the ones that came
after that. But / remember that
reason number seventeen Is: "Be-
cause it Gamma do We ony harm"
On the whole, reason seventeen is
the best.
Put in other words, this means
that the Scotch make use Of whisky
with dignity and without shame, and
they never call 1t alcohol.
Signs Of a Drought
In England the case is different.
Already the English are showing the
first signs that indicate the possible
approach Of prohibition. Already
all over England there are weird
regulations about the closing hours
Of the public houses. They open and
close according to the varying regu-
lations Of the municipality.
In some places they open at six
in the morning close down for an
hour from nine till ten, open then
till noon, shut for ten minutes, and
so on; in some places they are open
in the morning and closed in the
evening; in other places they open in
the evening and close in the morn
ing.
The ancient idea was that q way.

GROvELAND's CELEBRATION

Groveland celebrated the closing
of it's schools Thursday with a COM
bined field day and literary pro-
gram on the lawn at the school
grounds, beginning at 1890 in the
morning and continuing with ball
games and athletics during the
afternoon.
A feast was spread at noon, and
the community enjoyed a good So
cial time. Professor Buchanan and
his larger pupils, backed by the
community at large, made this gala
day an event long to be remembered.
Further accounts Of it will be pub.
lished next week.

Counsels Before Hls Elevation
TO the Pspai Throne

after he was elevated to the cardinal

Chlesa.
Educated ut CapronIcnn college ana
the Academy OF Ecclesiastlcs, he was
ordained to the priesthood In 1873
He was taken to Madrid. Spain. by
Cardinal Rampolla. and for four years
was secretary OF The nuncIntuSe llu

sultor OF the holy office and In 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment

He was made n cardinal In May. 1914
Saddened BY Horrors Of War.
Pope Benedict was much affected By
the horrors and sorrow OF the World
war and many times tried to bring
about peace negotiations. Germany's
violation OF Belgum's neutrality filled
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking OF the Lusltania, he telegraph
ed the German emperor telling his
adherence OF the deed
Pope Benedict's first appeal for
peace was issued one week after his
coronation. The appeal failed to bring
results. as did also his lhder plan for
Christmas truce In January and In
July, 1919. he again tried 10 bring
about peace negotiations. In March,
1916, he repeated his attempts and in
May Of the same yenr suggested that
America should act as conclllator be-
tween the warning nations. His note
TO President Wilson TO this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were involved
In diplomatic crisis. The Vatican APP

The Pope's most memorable appeal
for peace was issued In his own hand
writing on August 3. 1917. and asked
belligerent rulers 10 end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were issued In behalf OF weaker ma
tlOns.
Just before the conference President
Wilson had private conference with
Pope Benedict AT the Vatican In which
many questions Of social and inter
national nature were discussed.

Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope, who issued a
message congratulntIng the principals
