Two million five hundred thous-
aud individuals drank, in defiance
of the prohibition law last year, it
WAS revealed in survey of two
years Of Nation wide prohibition
by prohibition headquarters at
Washington Saturday night. The
survey also showed:
The 100000 drinkers paid $780,
100000 for their booze.
Those drinking now are only fif-
teen per cent of the number who
drank before prohibition.
The drink bill of the Nation has
decreased over $2,000,000,000.
The death rate of insurance pol
icyholders has decreased nearly
one per cent, largely because of
prohibition.
"The chief cause of non-enforce-
ment was the appointment of wet
officials and smuggling" said Com
missioner Roy A. Haynes in his
comment on the figures. "This 10
being corrected by the appoint
ment of sympathetic officials and
the serving of notices on foreign
countries that their flags are being
used to protet smugglers."
The reports showed that there
were approximately twenty million
drinkers in the United States be-
fore the country went dry. Of the
2,5000,000 who remain, about l.
100000 drink occasionally, and l.
O00,O00 drink as much or more
than they ever did.
This shows that 17,500,000 per-
sons have quit drinking because of
or at least following-the enact
ment of the eighteenth amendment.
Those who remain are consum-
ing five per cent of the liquor that
was formerly consumed.
Before prohibition the Nations
drink bill averaged $2,500,000,000
yearly. AS only about $500,000,000
worth of liquor was consumed last
year, the bill has been decreased
over S2,000,000,0O0.
Insurance company reports-re-
porting in thirtv-seven leading
companies-shows the death rate
for the first ten months of the year
decreased from 9 g to 824. Bank
ing fgurers show more people were
prosperous. This resulted in more
people owning automobiles, and
there was an increase of Is per
cent deaths from automobiles.

JUNCTION TERMINALS
ARE IN OPERATION

Operation of the new terminals
and shops Of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railway at
Hollow Rock Junction, which be-
gan Sunday, is expected to result
in asaving of as much as $4,000
a month in operating costs to the
railroad. The cost of the new ter
minals, which will not be entirely
completed until spring, will be
about 100000, says the Memphis
News Scimitar.
The large savings expected from
the new terminal will result from
a reduction of time lost at the juno
tion, where the main lines of the
Nashville and the Paducah and
Memphis divisions of the railroad
cross, and from the consolidation
there of the terminal now located
at Lexington, Tenn, the terminal
formerly maintained at Martin,
Tenn. ad large part of the shop
forces now at Paducah, KY.
Besides the railroad improve
ments at the junction, a consider
able town has sprung up on the
hill above the railroad yards. The
railroad is assisting it's employees in
financing the building of homes in
this town and already there are 40
attractive bungalows there, owned
by the men who live in them. Be-
sides this, the railroad has built a
hotel, which will have 40 rooms
when an addition now under con-
struction is completed. Good
streets, electric lights and water
ere also provided. A church has
been built and a high school is pro-
jected.
Travellers familiar with the sta
ton at Hollow Rock Junction will
have difficulty in recognizing the
place. For many years trains from
Nashville, Memphis, Hickman and
Paducah have met at the junction
twice each morning and evening.
They will now meet in new pas
senger station, with ample track
age, and with long umbrella sheds
between the tracks to protect pas
sengers from the weather in max
ing transfers from train to train.
There is also new freight sta
tion, with transfer platforms and
tracks. Local freights come into
the junction each afternoon from
four directions. Under the new
arrangement freight handling
crews will work at night transfer
ing less than carload shipments to
the proper cars on local trains 60
ing out early in the morning. De-
lay in handling package freight at
the junction will be eliminated.

OohFohClon nelu ab Mempnl5 the
committee on resolutions submit
ted the following resolutions:
Whereas, present conditions
plainly point to the necessity for
a-continuance of the acreage reduc-
tion policy which saved thu South
this year; and
Whereas, there is grave danger
that cotton growers will be tempt
ed by the present price of cotton
to disregard the rules of safe and
sane farming thereby inviting a re-
turn of the disastrous financial and
economic conditions which prevail
cd during l920-2l; therefore,
Be it resolved, >. that the farmers,
bankers and merchants represent
ing the various agricultural and
commercial interests of the South,
assembled in convention at Mom-
phis, urge and insist that the farm
ers, bankers and merchants of the
South unite their efforts to secure
the following crop plan for the cot
ton country in 1922:
l. That every farm produce the
feed stuffs necessary to care for the
stock on the farm and that the
acreage planted to feed be based
on the minimum production of al
bad year and not on the maximum
production of a good year.
2, That every farmer be urged
to make an independent home liv-
ing through utilizing the products
of at least one COW, one SOW, one
rooster and two dozen hens and by
producing on his farm all food
stuffs that soil and climatic condi-
hons will permit.
3. That farmers after alloting
ample acreage to feed stuffs and
food stuffs plant that cotton acre.
age that can be properly and eco
nomically cultivated, but under no
circumstances and in no instance
shall the total cultivated acreage
planted to cotton exceed that plant
ed in 1921.
4. That banker, credit merchants
and land owners be urged to insist
ON this plan and pledge their aid
in securing it's adoption by giving
liberal credits to assist needy farm
ers to purchase cows, sows and hens
aud grow food and feed crops and
by cooperating with farmers and
farm organizations in every possi-
BILE way to procure a fair cash
market for all farm crops and pro-
duce as well as cotton. That the
newspapers of the South be re-
duested to endorse this plan and to
give it the widest publicity and
that all organizations of farmers
be urged to endorse it and to insist
upon it's adoption by their men,
bers.
5. That to insure the accomplish
,nent of the purposes and aims Of
the foregoing resolutions an exec
utive committee to be composed of
the following: Leon Sternberger,

Travel in Labrador.

There was still plenty to see at Ma
tashQuan, and took a long walk,
chiefly In stunted spruces and In the
bog-the barrens or tundras of Labra-
dor--which occupies so much of the
country In the sub-Arctic and Arctic
zones. Audubon says in his journey ::
ITO tread over the spongy moss Of
Labrador Is task beyond conception
until tried; at every step the foot
sinks In deep, soft cushion which
closes over it, and it requires good
deal Of exertion to pull it up again.
Where this moss happens to be over
q marsh, then you sink a couple OF
feet deep every step you take; to
reach bare rock is delightful, and quite
n relief" In another place he says:
1--WE crossed savannah Of many
miles in extent; in many places the
soil seemed to wave under US, and we
expected at each step to go through
the superficial moss carpet. ~
These descriptions are very accurate.
/ should compare the labor to that Of
walking In deep, wet snow.

sIeepino sickness Is CATCHING.

Sudden hysterical laughter is one
of the symptoms of sleeping sickness.
according to Professors Meter and
Sicard who recently addressed the
Paris Medical society on the subject.
After studying scores of cases Of sleep
ing sickness they have discovered the
lethargy is followed by uncomfortable
spells of laughter, this suggesting that
the baciIli are still active. Some cases
of this illness have been succeeded by
fits of sobbing, hiccoughs and signs,
but the most typical symptom of the
last stages of the malady is incessant
hilarity. Inasmuch as the malady is
contagious 1t certainly is safer not to
approach anyone who is laughing too
heartily.

that there never was such person as

Erich Raspe, librarian, who after
committing robbery at Cassel ran
away to London in ITS, where he
wrote 1.-THE Adventures Of Baron Mum

inal manuscript. 1t was time when
wild and vivid flights of the i'm

and there was no effort made to give
fiction the semblance of truth, so the
adventures were read with avidity,
and the word Munchausen became the
synonym for palpable falsehood.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL Is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up in the garnet, maybe chest
full of 'em, but then 1t was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, n. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's adj
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street In the address. 1t helps you.
