Substituting a Dry Marine.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Apparently there involved in the matter of
banishing liquor from the vessels owned by the u
S. Shipping Board the question of subsidy for the
American Merchant Marine. In the hour of the dry
victory Chairman Lasker, of that body declared that
the opinion of the Attorney General had the
prohibition obstacle to this largesse from the Gov
eminent and now from the holy of holes, as it were
comes confirmation of this condition.
One of the leaders of the religious lobby at Wash
ington is Deets Pickett Secretary of the Methodist
Church Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals. whose commission is so generous and whose
ambition is large that he is found somewhere OF
some place in great deal the secular legislation
at the capital. Mr.. Pickett is quoted making this
announcement in line with Chairman Lasker's DECLARE
ton that opposition the subsidy by the organized
prohibitionsts had been withdrawn:
1--WE feel it obligation on the part of the
churches to to it that the American vessels have
such advantages will compensate for the disad
vantages in competing with foreign line ships which
carry liquor. We will advocate that the churches oil
America get behind the American Merchant Marine tc
show that prohibition marine can be made to pay
Immediately the question arises whether one oil
these advantages is to be payment of millions of dol
lars of the public money to the owners of American
owned vessels not because OF the general good it will
cause but to make up Losses occasoned by an Am
erican Governmental policy. If the last, then it il

Why Congressional Deficits Grow.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER. }

Notwithstanding the fact that President Harding
dsapproved the bonus bill because of the untoward
condition of the country's finances the Congressmen
whom he rebuked thereby seem to have learned a
lesson from that praisewcrthy action.
There has just been issued a gross piece of de-
cepon called special edition of the Congressional
Record, volume of So pages This is filled with
speeches purpCrtng to have been delivered during the
session of Congress. In reality it is made up of
articles written in many instances ter the adjourn
men OF that body The right of publication is gained
through leave obtained from the House to extend in
the Record remarks pending bills This is pure
y imaginary proceeding
Without exception these fictitious speeches are
upon political matters in dispute between the politi-
clans OF both parties Where the mischief is done the
taxpayers, however is to be found in the fact that
thousands of copies of these delivered utterances
will be printed and free through the mails for
committees.

1t has been our observation that
no Dad ever cares to make pal

The Japanese have invented a wa
ter-proof paper that can be washed
with soap and water frequently with
out injuring it. But what the girls
of today want is for some one to
invent a complexion that can stand
that kind of treatment.
A sensible girl may not always be
the most attractive to a young man,
but she is the kind he can live with
long enough to celebrate his golden
wedding.
Our idea of a soft job would be
one in which we were not any more
overworked than the consciences
and brains of a lot of people we
know. But we would hate to be as
overworked as the tongues of those
very same folks.

It would save an awful lot of wear
and tear on the massive brains OF
our great sleuths-who are excellent
at getting clues, but not much on
getting anything else-if soulmates
wouldn't go out and get murdered
the way they do.
The sad part about it is lot of
men who wouldn't take a million dol

mates five bucks for new bonnets.

Children may have lot of trouble

have any at quickly acquiring work

A man may object to this self
service down town. but he'll want to
raise the roof and break UP the fur

neck to wait on him when he gets

We never have seen one of these

TRULY WONDERFUL WELL

AS each day goes by it becomes
more apparent how superbly efficient
the new well and air lift pump are.
and how grateful the citizens of Viro-
qua should be to our mayor and coun-
ell and city engineer for the excellent
judgment they have displayed in SCI
lection of machinery and the general
supervision of the work.
The superior efficiency of the pump
can best be comprehended by giving
the record of its performance on Tues
day. Both the pump and the COM
pressor were started at eight o'clock
a. m. and shut down at two p. m.
In these six hours. the pump not only
took care of the regular consumption
Of water users but put ten feet of
water in the standpipe and fifteen feet
of water in the reservoir besides.
This, translated into gallons of water,
means that the new we'll and air lift
pump and compressor delivered 300
gallons per minute over and above
consumption And just what this
means in increased water capacity
over the old arrangement can best be
appreciated when we realize that the
three old wells pumping to utmost
eapacity could produce only a little
over 200 gallons per minute. Or put
it in another way, the water capacity
has been more than doubled mot even
considering the body of water held in
reserve in the reservoir, and because
of which the city is assured of re-
duction of fire insurance rates), and
this is accomplished with the economy
of one well and pumping outfit in
s+aod of thrpp az fornariV
And as a reward for this duty, well
performed, our city officials are being
suedl oh, death, where is thy sting!
