A Safe Stimulant

Coffee, as we all know gets plenty of attention
from cranks and savants, mostly the former, and a
large proportion of them are advocating some sub
stitute which possesses all the characteristics
which coffee does not, and none that it does possess
The majority of the ardent advocates are agitated
about the caffein which coffee contains to a greater
or lesser degree and which is a quality of that bev-
erage as indispensable to its perfection as fat glob.
ules are to milk. Caffeinless coffee is on a par with
SKINNED milk, and no one likes either as a steady
diet.
As is usually the case the anti.coffee drinking
enthusiasts mistake the shadow for the substance.
Theirs is the duty to inject the reform which shall
prevent the frazzled nerves from swapping asunder.
and they do not hesitate to place coffee "fiends"
on parity with drug addicts. Caffein they say is a
drug, but so are calomel, EPSON salts and castor
oil drugs, because the Pharmacopoeia saws so in
every country, except Persia and the Caucasus
where castor oil is used as a food. The fact that
tastes differ in this respect at least does not alter
the fact The same holds for the caffein in coffee
as a beverage, it is an accidental and to say the
least an advantageous quality. We take the bever.

There is considerable satisfaction in knowing

Pump Irrigation

PINE BLUFTs.-within the las,
fortnight three different groups OF
men have been in the Pine Bluffs dis.
trict looking into the possibilities OF
pump irrigation here.
All three groups have visited the
C. A. Grey plant near town and also
the Earl C. waxham farm west OF
town. Earl has no pumping system,
but has announced hat he will equip
his place with a modern plant before
time to irrigate next seasons alfalfa
crop.
The interest shown by these men
some OF them from the Fort Collins
district, is gratifying. Outside capt.

The Press Freedom

A decision recently rendered by the supreme
court OF New York will have a far-reaching infu.
ence upon the freedom of the press.
The Buffalo Evening News published matter
which the council of that city alleged annoyed and
harassed certain officials. The city council moved
Tor an order directing editors of the paper to an.
pear and answer regarding articles concerning GER.
tain conditions of the city.
Justice Marcus refused the writ, saying: at I'm
strongly impressed with the view that IL would be
unwise TO heckle and annoy the press. If every
article subjected them to an examination that
would harass and annoy them, whenever the sub.
Ject matter was unpleasant by way of criticism
OF officials, the public would lose much, even rec.
ognizing the license oftentimes used"
The press is not TO be denied the right Of criti.
Ching public officials. A community can have no
better security than a newspaper which watches
the acts of public officers and holds them strictly
accountable for all they do.
The newspapers guard our liberties and protect
our pockctbooks. The public owes them a great deal
and the courts, interpreting the constitution, do
well to recognize this fact.

DESTROY DRY GRASS
Fire Department Heads Warn oI
Danger Because of Drought.

"Get rid of dry weeds and grass. "
This is the advice offered property
owners by Fire Chief Sarran and in
which Fire and Police Commissioner
Wright heartily concurs.
Because of the extended drought,
dry weeds, grass and brush, say these
officials. present a menace to every
home in San Antonio. Dry grass and
weeds have in the past records reveal,
caused the destruction of more than
one home and both Commissioner
Wright and Chief Sarran are anxious
to avoid fire loss from this source.
Commissioner Wright suggests that
where weeds are on vacant lots that
adjoin built-up property. they should
be cut down for at least D or G feet
from the fence.
weeds and grass are so dry ut
present that few people realize how
quickly they become ignited from the
smallest spark" said the commission
or. whenever house is burning fly
ing brands fall into patches of dry
grass or weeds. Only recently firemen
have been forced to leave the scene OF
fire to check the spread of flames
in grass or weeds that threatened other
dwellings in the community
And to insure against the danger
of setting house afire by burning dry
grass and weeds, Chief Sarran an
nounced Monday that he would detail
firemen to burn them when such a re-
quest is made.

Sarran. "is for the property owner tC

Speed Now for F'irpO.

Atlantic City, \. j., Aug. 21.-Lufs
Angel Firpo is in excellent physical
condition. He believes he has master
ed the art of getting all his strength
behind his blows and he has shown an
ability TO absorb great deal OF heavy
punching. Now he wants speed.
Today he started on n training pro-
gram in which every item calls for
speed.
The iaunt on the road was the long
est and most strenuous he has taken.
He was out at 6 o'clock. bundled in
n gaudily colored sweater and a rak-
ish gray cap and carrying a stick.
Joe McCann and Natalie Pera and the
Black Ghost of Joplin were along
with him. They started off in n walk,
increased to dog trot and then
started speeding. Six miles OF this
and Luis Angel pulled up. smiling and
breathing easily, awaiting his sparring
mates who were a quarter of a mile be-
hind him. The afternoon program, in
addition 10 some bag punching and
weight pulling. called for as many
rounds of sparring as the small corps
of punch-catchers could stand. But all
of the sparrers are-told to do some
speeding up.
