PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT

Washington. November, "a -
Prohibition enforcement occupied
the time of President Harding aud
his cabinet today to the exclusion
Of all other matters
The discussions, it WAS stated Of
ficically, did not concern modifica-
tions of the Volstead Act, but was
confined to the enforcement of that
&C.
The executive snl his advisers
were represented as feeling that
the question was Of vastly more
Importance than was gei eralIy CIV
e to j..
The interest of the Government,
a3ide from low enforcement, was
said to lie in II concern about the
undermining of the moral nense OF
the people by continued fragrant
aud too ready violation of stat
ntr
There was no fiual decision AS 10
just what steps were to be- taken,
but an official said there was the
thought that some appeal would
have to be made to the concience
driven, Government loving people
of the Uuited States.

HEARD AROUND TOWN
...BY OBSERVER.

II don't want to serve on any ju-
ryw So common u statement is
accepted rs part OF orr National
life. No one seems TO want 10 serve
ON a jury save tbe poor devil who,
as a professional inrymau," is sat-
isfsd with the few dollars day
that vocation" gives Elm.
And Judges often complain.
They say the public is a part of
the judiciary system and that the
public should be 40 interested in
the jury as is the Judge and the
court.
But did anyone ever hear of a
Judge trying to reform the out
worn, out-of-date, cumbersome and
illogical procedure which distin-
gushes the court of justice from
all other institutions et our country
of which makes a religion out of
efficiency.
Busy men-busiDess men, if you
please endeavor to shun jury SER
vice because they feel, for one
thing, that it is loss of time
They know that The work they will
thus do in month conld be done
in week if the conrt was proper
ly organized. They very natural
ly contrast the leisurely procedure
of q court ). the delays, continuau-
ces; trey contrast the laborious.
round about, redtaped method of
ordinary court practice with their
own direct-action methods-and
beg to be excused. Can you blame
them?
We have been taught to recog-
nize the jury system as the guar
antee of justice in this country,
but it works an Injustice when it
destroys time, labor aud efficiency
because of hidebOund slavery to
custom and to ancient legal tradi-
tion, which comes from an age
when time was OF little worth aud
efficiency a word not yet coined.
The jury system of today works
an iujnstice and very frequently it
is the means of defeating justice
because the defense is given more
challenges than the State. Ten
nessee is laggard in this respect.
Then, too, the Tennessee Judge
usually declines to exercise his pre-
rogative in choosing the jurymen
himself but leaves it to the attorn-
eys to wrangle over. More delay.
And the INSCRIPTIONS attorney is
given an opportunity to Fix the
jury" a term frequently heard in
recent years.
Ihe English handle such mat
ters much better than we do.
They brock no delay. When the
case is called the attorneys con-
nected with it know that it will 20
to trial. That is all there is to it.
No long delays. No combinations.
The participants must be prepared
for trial And the result is spe dy
action and justice obtains.

MIND HAS ITS LIMITATIONS
Impossible for Human Reason to At
tend to More Than One Thing
at Time.

It is quite possible for us to do two
or more things at once. In fact, most
Of us do 80 rather frequently. For
instance. a pianist reads the notes Of
piece of music and at the same time
plays the piano with his fingers.
Talking and knitting, again, is quite
a common double" while really ex-
traordinary cases of doing three. four
or even more things at once, have fire.
quently been seen on the stage. In
all these cases, however, the conscious
mind has only attended to one action,
and the other performances have been
automatic or subconscious.
The play ing Of the piano, or the knit.
ting has become so much a matter
Of habit us to be conducted without
conscious thought, while the music hall
performers who conduct seven or eight
complicated operations simultaneously
have practiced so often that they are
done mechanically.

, Work and Play.

The two principal things in life are
work and play. Everybody ought to
do both in proper proportions, sys-
tematicalIy, religiously. To fail to do
either Is perilous. To overdo one and
fail to do the other is foolish. Ex-
tremists do not know how to balance
these two obligations Alright. One per-
son believes in work, work, and more
work. He has too many irons in the
fire. He tries to do so much work
that no spreads his output over a
large area, and naturally it becomes
thin. The quantity gets the best Of
quality. This persons work soon be-
comes self-slavery. He drives his
tired, aching body when it ought to
seek diversion and relaxation. He
gets old prematurely. He wears out
before his time. Wearing out under
these conditions is about as bad as
rusting out under other conditions
Grit.

MOTHER TO BE GIVEN
SAME RIGHTS AS FATHER

The women of the state are much
interested in a bill to be submitted
to the legislature by the North Da-
kota Children's Code commission next
month, giving a mother equal rights
with father in control of their child
ren. The present law gives the father
control of the children, his claims
being, superior to those of the mother
The change proposed by the Code
commission is declared in line with
the general move to give women full
equality with men and is an import
ant step in the movement in North
Dakota. The proposed bill, amending
the present law, reads:
"a father and mother of a legiti-
mate, unmarried, minor child are en-
titled equally to its custody, services
and earnings, and that neither can
transfer such custody. services or
earnings to another person."

VALUE OF GOAT OVERLOOKED
English Newspaper Gives a Variety
Of Reasons Why the Animals
Should Be More Popular.

1t is diRcult to understand why goat
keeping has never attained wider pop
ularity in England. In many other
countries goats are looked upon as na-
tional assets, declares London Tit.
Bits.
In addition to being inexpensive to
buy, goats are exceedingly cheap to
keep. Their milk Is more rich, sweet
and creamy than cows milk, and,
above all, the animals are entirely free
from tuberculosis. The milk cannot,
therefore, convey the dreaded plague
to infants. 1t is estimated that Is per
cent Of cows are infected with the dis
ease. -
A good goat can be bought for about
SO. 1t should be kept tethered in q
field or garden. where it will easily find
food for itself, for goats eat almost
anything in the way of grass and vege.
tables, provided they are clean. Thin
porridge occasionally is also accepta-
BILE, while hay or grain may be given
at regular intervals-say, three times
day. Even at this rate the cost of
food for each goat should not be more
than few cents q day.
In unfavorable weather it is better
to keep goats under cover. An excel.
lent shed for this purpose can be made
at home at cost Of about five dollars
The annual yield Of milk is about 250
quarts from each goat, and this is
equal in food value to 400 pounds OF
butchers meat. Milking must be done
twice a day--in the morning and eve.
ming. . There are occasions when goats
like COWS, become dry, but by keeping
two or more regular supply should b
maintained.
Coats milk is especially suitable for
ailing Children. and is the best food for
adult invaliis who are compelled ia
take milk In it's raw state
Many people dislike goats because
Of an erroneous belief that they show
their bad tempers in forceful man
ner. While animals that are frequent
ly annoyed and irritated naturally
show resentment, goats which are
cared for kindly and looked after
properly are both docile and grateful.
