taken a tack which they hope will swing
sentiment toward them. They do not
urge the return of the saloon-they insist
it will not come back. They do not base
their campaign on the question of re-
pealing the 18th amendment, but they
are concentrating on the Yolstead law,
hoping to exhibit certain of its provisions
as too extreme and Inconsistent with the
intent of the 18th amendment. The OBJ
iectiye is the return of light wines and
beer, though the anti-prohibition forces
are by no means united on that point.
The drys. of course, see no way by which
the Volstead law can be modified to per-
nit light wines and beer without being
unconstitutional, as they insist that to
increase the alcoholic content of bever-
ages now sold merely would fly in the face
of the experience of dry states before the
18th Amendment was adopted when one
half of one per cent of alcohol was an
accepted principle of prohibition legisla-
ton The '.drys,' however, are not hay
ing it all their own way. This election
for congress is the first in which prohl-
bition issue can be fought out without
being encumbered by national presidential
questions and party platforms It's the
first time since tile 18th amendment was
adopted that the returned soldier, who is
said to be against prohibition, will have
a chance to register protest. The prep
arationS being made by the dryS are the
best evidence of the revival or survival
of the prohibition issue.

The Druggist Tried
1t On Himself
A Well Known Pharmacist
Thought He Would See
What Cerizane Was
Good For And 1t
Cured His Cold

Mr.. Z. w. Keyes has been for thirty
Eve years resident of AuburndaIe, Mas
sachusetts, where he is well-known drug
gist. Suddenly, through exposure, he
found himself coughing severely; a dry,
hard cough, with the customary sore throat
and hoarseness. He feared ne might have
pneumonia He was pretty well ac-
quainted with the different cough medi-
cines in his store, but he says, II knew the
reputation of Cerizane, and knew that
the Winsol goods had been made for years,
with the first thought being quality, so
when / suddenly found myself in such had
shape, | took down a bottle of Cerizane,
and took few doses. Its effect was very
agreeable indeed, and | speedily felt i'm
nrovement Before bottle was taken
my cough had stopped, my temperature
had become normal and was fully on the
road to recovery. | do not hesitate to
recommend Cerizane Cough Balsam to
my customers.
What Mr. Keyes says about Cerizane
IS true. It'has been made for ninety-fve
rears by the Wilson family of Boston. 1t
has helped millions and hurt none. 1t
contains no chloroform, narcotics or other
harmful drugs.
Cerizane may be had Of any druggist.

bOr0-Yellow BanGs BOrdered With
Black to Mark Roads.

ference in Boston. Eight Of these routes
pass through Vermont. State Highway
Commissioner T. W. Dix said yesterday
that the authority for having the poles
marked must come through the highway
board and the board of control. The
routes would then be included i'll auto
mobile route books. Whether a state
book would be put out or not, Mr.. Dix
gould not say.
Besides the bands, which will be
placed on the second pole in each direc-
tion from intersections, the route num-
bers viii be marked on the side of the
pole facing the intersection. Interstate
routes will be numbered form | to 90,
and routes within this state will be
numbered starting at 100.
The purpose of laying out the routes
is to guide both local and tourist traf-
fic along good roads to their destlna-
lions. Some of the routes will connect
with roads in states outside New Eng
land and with the Canadian roads. and
the new England system may link mp
with routes going the length and breadth
of the country.

contemplated at present is %. OF these,

TH1iUing Cooperative
Glove Factory in Chicago

The gloves were introduced largely by
railroad employees, who sold them on a
commission basis while on their regular
runs, to cooperative stores, and to indi-
vidual consumers.
The association was organized by
striking members of Local Is an 4, In
ternational Glove Workers organiza-
tions, and incorporated under the Roch-
dale plan. The stockholders at their
last meeting decided to pay six per cent
interest on shares, the maximum rate
provided under the bylaws, but to de.

the profits to education of workers, hold
ing the rest as a reserve fund. 1t Is
proposed to conduct a course of lecturers

FOOLISHNESS NOT

Chicago Commission Finds Criminals
About Same Intelligence as
Other People.

CHICAGO. March 22-The impor-
lance of feeblemindednesS as a source
of crime has been overrated, according
to the committee on origin of crime of
the Chicago crime commission. Intel
ligence tests similar to those used in
the army are declared by the committee
to Indicate that the level of intelligence
among first offenders is not greatly diff
ferent from that which prevailed among
drafted men during the World war.
Holding that crime is a reflection of
character rather than of mentality the
committee renews recommendations that

The committee also finds that offend

RUN SWEDISH FARM
BY ELECTRICITY.
One-Third Of Cultivated
Area of Country Subject
to Electric Power
GET ENERGY FROM
LARGE STATIONS

In Seine Sections Farmers Generate
Own Power-EIectrically Driven Ma
chinery Cheaper than Steam, Horse
Power or Hand Labor.
STOCKHOLM. March -. - Flee
tricity has conquered third of the
entire cultivated area of Sweden ac-
cording to the latest official reports.
If Sweden continues electrifying at
the present rate. it viii be only a few
years till almost the whole country will
be run by electricity.
Most of the farms within the elcctri-
fed area are now tapping the new
source of energy, and nearly all the
power used in the daily labor on these
farms is derived from the high-powcr
lines which span whole sections of the
COUNTRY
Large power stations deliver most of
the electric energy used in the rural
communities; but in many places the
farmers themselves have installed tur-
bines and built private power stations
Harvesting for this purpose swift
streams and small waterfalls on their
own properties. Those enterprises, how
ever, are generally cooperative
4 great deal of the most arduous farm
labor is performed by electrically
driven machinery at cost far below the
cost of machines propelled by steam or
horse power or of hand labor Water
is pumped for cattle by electricity
threShing machines are driven by cleo
trio current. timber is sawed by motor
power. and farm hands are no longer or
dered to cut firewood by hand because
it is cheaper to have even that labor
done by electricity. Candles have al
most disappeared.
In many eases grain is dried and
cleared by being passed through electri-
cally-driven hot-air tanning machines. II
is not uncommon to find on the larger
estates electric elevators which lift en-
tire wagon loads of hay or grain and
dump them where desired in the barns.
One Swedish estate owner has in
stalled an electrically operated irriga-
ton system whereby a large field can be
watered in times of drought. 1t is now
only a matter of a short time till plows
and harrows win be propelled by cleo
trio power.

GIVES BIRTH TO FIVE CALVES
Pure Bred Jersey in Saskatchewan
Breaks Record of Previous Year.

REGINA. Sask.. March 22.--A pure
bred Jersey, owned by Hollis Williams
farmer at Estlin, Sask., has just given
birth to five calves. all normal, weigh
ing about 50 pounds each. This same
COW last year gave birth to three nor
NAL calves.
The latest performance is somewhat
detracted from. in the fact that none
of this years litter of calves lived. This
was due to the mother COW taking fright
at a train Il few days before birth and
running over a mile, according to q
statement of the man in charge of VIII
iams's animals at the farm.
