WILKESBORO ADOPTS DRASTIC
RESOLUTION IN LIQUOR FIGHT

The following resolution adopted
by the Board of Town Commissioners
of Wilkesboro, shows that the officials
there are on the job as regards reg
uIation of the liquor traffic: }
Be it resolved by the Board of
Commissioners of the town of Wilkes
boro, in meeting assembled on Mon
day night, December 3, 1928 that
whereas intoxicating liquors are be-
ing sold around the town of Wilkes
boro, and boys from the ages of ten
and older have been under the in
;fiuence of liquor by reason thereof.
That the mayor OF this town require
every person found in the corporate
limits under the influence Of intoxicat
ing liquors or in the possession of any
quantity thereof, to make such dis
closure of where he procured said
liquor that a conviction be had Of
the retailer, and upon the failure
of any party to do so, the said may
or is directed to commit said party
to the common Jail of Wilkes County
until he sdoes furnish such proof.
The said mayor is further directed
to freely use the, common Jail Of
Wilkes County in breaking up the
liquor traffic and the use thereof.
The purpose of this board is to
stop drunkenness in this town and
the sale of liquor to any of its in
habitants or to persons coming in
to said town.
All members of said board voting
AYE" upon said resolution, it is de-
clal - carried by the mayor. NJ,
Charles G. Gilreath, Mayor.
L. B. Dula, Secy. .44
d AS mayor Of this town | shall fol
low this resolution to the letter., re-
gardless of standing in society or any
other consideration or condition.
further wish to warn the parents of
the town of Wilkesboro, that the gov
ernment of the town, with all that
it can do, cannot take the place OF
parent, and if it is left to raise
the boys of the town, they cannot
hope to escape common Jail, because
this is our only. means of punish
ment. .,5.ss.
Considerable force at home and
complete diligence on .the part Of
the parent, to know the whereabout:
of the boy who is under the age o1
21 is the only way to safeguard theil
present and future happiness ant
worth to society.
It is not for the good of any bo!
under 21 years Of age to romp thu
! streets at all hours Of night and tt
sit around in gangs at grocery store
and if parents do not know they arr
there, they do know they are not a
home, and if they cannot enforce
parental discipline enough to breal
up this condition, if they will tele
phone the mayor, the policeman will
deliver the boy home in good orde
, and in cue time.
We say this because within tn
last week young boys in the bes
families in the town have been unde
the influence of liquor.
Respectfully,
CHAS. G. GILREATH, Mayor

THE SURVIVAL OF GOOD.

! !" HE world stage seems to be place where
| great struggle is going on between two
= mighty forces-good and evil. To the super
fetal judgment evil seems to be predominant II
that struggle. Evil seems to be greater power
than good. 1t seems to win the fight too often In
his own experiences this superficial observer sees
that it is easier to give way to evil than to good;
that evil seems to be more insistent and impor-
tunate than good; that temptation seems more
powerful than resistance to temptation.
Especially in times like these, when terrible
war has ravaged and destroyed, leaving train
of evils in it's wake, does it seen that evil is a
greater power than good.
Is it so? Or is it only seeming?
There does seem always to be great deal of
evil in the world. The primitive man found him.
self surrounded by terrors. Storm, earthquake,
savage beasts, human enemies, hunger and cold
pelted him with miseries, And to them he added
countless other dangers-spirits, ghosts, gods of
evil The whispering leaves peopled his sur
roundings with hidden terrors. Pillage, murder,
war, famine, disease and death seemed to ring
him around with perils.
Yet he survived. Little by little his descend
ants discovered that good many of these ter
rors were imaginary. His descendant of today,
does not fear tenth as many things as he did.
Yet even his descendant of today fears too many
things that he need not fear, and will not fear
when he knows more than he knows now.
Good seems to have to encounter many OBJ
stacles and discouragements. 1t seems to be the
under dog in this fight. Yet good survives, and
evils pass away. Good grows, and evils dwindle
The evils that have been conquered give as
surance, to those who have confidence, in the
ultimate destruction of ALL evil.
If good were as weak compared with evil as it
has seemed to be, it would have been destroyed
long ago. That it has not been destroyed, that
despite all obstacles and discouragements it keeps
on gaining, shows that good is mightier power
than humanity tends to believe it to be-
Good prevails through those who have con-
fdence and belief in it strong enough to stand
against evil; and wherever those who believe
in good have that courage and face evil down, it
vanishes. With all evil, it is as it was with the
first man who came out from among his neigh
bors, all covering in fear of the mysterious
noises in the spirit-lled forests around them and
by walking bravely into these mysteries was able
to proves their nothingness. Good survives be-
cause good, despite all seeming, is more powerful
than evil. And its power is proved by those who
gain confidence enough in it to trust to it.-Du
luth Herald.

This week Redwood Falls has the privilege Of
playing host to the State Historical Society at
its annual meeting. That the Society was will
ing to bring this meeting to Redwood Falls is
proof that we have in this locality much Of his
torical interest. Because they are close at hand
we are apt to think little of the historical fea-
lures and to give them small place in our con-
sideration. From this meeting, general ses-
sions of which are all open to the public, it is
to be hoped that residents of this section of the
state may get such information as will be real
inspiration for further study and further interest
in matters historical. Seed for Redwood County
Historical Society was sown at the Farm Bu-
reau picnic last week. That it will bear real
fruit in the form of flourishing and serious
intentioned organization is our sincere hope.
Minnesota has a wonderful and interesting his
tory and the Minnesota Valley is the scene of
the very best parts of the States story. In ord
er that this story may be preserved for future
generations it is seemly that everyone should
give what assistance he can. Attending sessions
and getting your interest aroused is one of the
best ways of starting. hi

CUT ALFALFA AS THE
NEW SHOOTS APPEAR

"Under average weather conditions
alfalfa should be cut when the new
shoots begin to appear at the crown
says A. c. Army of the farm crops
section, University Farm. These
shoots are yellowish white in color
and may be easily seen at the base
of the alfalfa plant. If the weather
has been very dry for a time previous
to the date the crop would usually
be cut, the appearance of these new
shoots will be delayed more than the
development of the crop itself. Un-
der such conditions it is well to watch
the stage of blossom and cut when
approximately one-tenth of the fow-
ers have appeared. Delay in cutting
the first or second crop makes the
subsequent crops cut the same year
later. Alfalfa may be narrowed with
a spring tooth harrow or other similar
implemets Immediately after the first
or the second crop has been removed
This narrowing aids in keeping down
grasses that ruin the stands of al
falfa."

CURING THE BOOTLEGGER.

7 UDGE JOHN F. McGee of Winona, Minn, en-
tertains no sentimental consideration for
II bootleggers. He understands thoroughly that
when one stands at his bar, he has most con-
temptible specimen to deal with, and he acts ac-
cordngly. He has been giving these lawbreakers
the limit of fines and adding long Jail sentences,
until he has the breed thoroughly alarmed. He
finds in large number of cases the bootlegger
is foreigner, and he has given the following
orders to his assistant United States attorney:
! want you to take steps under the prohibition
act to close every place where violations have
taken place, for the accustomed one year and one
day. In cases where the defendant is not citi-
zen, you will take steps Immediately with officers
of the Department of Justice to that he is
deported an undesirable alien. Iwant to teach
the owners of property where ofenses have been
committed to have more care in renting their
property-and more respect for the prohibition
laws.
Sooner or later other courts will have to adopt
the severe policy. So long as nominal
fine is imposed, the bootlegger has but little fear
of the courts. He can recoup his slight losses
in few hours. 1t is not until profits vanish
and the prison looms that he will listen to rea-
In this connection the action of the jury in
The Gary Qnd.) bootlegging case, where fifty
TWO liquor violaters, including the mayor cf the
city and other municipal officers and chief cti-
2ens were sentenced to prison, deserves the high
est praise. 1t will be some time before Gary
becomes safe haven for bootleggers When the
example of Judge McGee and the Gary jury be-

Colleges have right to discuss in the class
room the various economic systems of the day,
Socialism and COMMUNISM among others. A
young divinity student who was shielded from
all knowledge of sin, or young medical stu
dent who was kept in the dark about loath-
some diseases, or young law student who was
sheltered from all discussion of such crimes as
murder, would be poorly equipped for his pro-
fession. To understand Socialism is not to be
Ia Socialist Nor is man who is progressive
who is forward-minded, who hates shams anc
believes in justice, by these facts Socialist. By
all means let us guard against radicalism, but
don't let us get shrieking Mysteries over it,
Philadelphia Ledger.
Sounds like good sense to US. There is ten
dency to get uselessly "het up" over college
courses and things. Ignorance isn't always
bliss, and knowledge is a real protection.

t;on is the twelve-hour day enforced in the steel
industry? If it can be abandoned only at the
nrice of increasing the cost of steel to the con-
sumner. let it first be shown that every effort to
substitute machinery for the more exacting and
laborious forms of human labor has been serious
" made. But even if the consumers had to pay
in dollars little more for steel, that would be
fundamentally better, and in the end cheaper,
than that they should get it at lower price IN
dollars through the sacrifice by great body OF
workers of all that goes to make life worth hv-
ing and the REIMBURSEMENT of most that helps
to make man good citizen.-Christian Science

WE GROW NOT OLD.

We grow not old We are but children yet
Even when Time his whitened crown has sown
We suffer tense-then quickly we forget,
Barter the now for future JOY unknown.
I've lived, I've loved, I've suffered; these have
made
Times little span from Aprils spring to spring
I've staked and won; I've staked and lost and
paid,
And with it all lifes such blessed thing.
We grow not old While winds of Age are blow
ing
We build new walls, where castles stood before;
With Hope we go, the seeds of joy bestowing,
AS if we stood at Lies unopened door.

ured after the first crop is removed /,
the first cutting should be made just
before or as soon as the buds appear
This is before any flowers are visible.
1t should be cut at height of from
six to eight iches in order that suffi-
cient number of buds may be left on
the stems to grow and produce the
next crop. Cutting after the crop is
in bloom or lower than six TO eight
inches usually results in a very con-
siderable killing of the plants, often
practically all except those around
the edge of the field. Trials are be-
ing made of clipping back sweet clover
at various dates and heights TO delay
the first crop until the usual hay
cutting time which is usually the last
week in June or the first week in
July. What can be accomplished in
this way is not yet known.-A. C..

THE TWELVE HOUR DAY.

" HE renewed attack of the Council of Chur-
ches, in which are included not merely
evangelical Protestant churches but Ro-
man Catholic and Jewish, upon the twelve hour
day in the mills of the United States Steel Cor
poration, cannot be ignored by the directors CT
that great institution 1t declares truthfully that
the recent report of the American Iron and Steel
Institute in opposition to cutting down the twelve
hour day at this moment Skaters public con-
fidence that was inspired by the creation of the
committee year ago at the request of the Presi-
dent of the United States" This statement on
behalf of an, organization representing to such
high degree the moral forces of the Nation should
not merely attract the attention of the president
OF the steel corporation, but of the President of
the United States as we'll.
1t is all very well, and wholly proper, to defer
in some degree to the superior knowledge of the
technicalities of operating great productive in
dustries possessed by their officials. But it can
not be forgotten that those officials consider the
matter mainly from the standpoint of immediate
expense, and with direct and often excessive, con
sideration of the interests of their stockholders
The time is past in all civilized countries when
the interests of stockholders take precedence over
the rights and immunities of men, The dol
lar in the dividend statement shall not count for
more than the good health, the happiness, and
the morale of the workers who make that dollar
possible.
So great an organization as the United States
Steel Corporation performs distinctly public
function, receives public support, and is charged
with certain public responsibilities One of those
responsibilities is that it shall not degrade the
morale of its workers below the standard o1
twentieth-century civilization.
None of the excuses for the twelve-hour day
thus far set forth is convincing. If it is com
PEELED only by labor shortage, why was it main
tanned with precisely as much insistence three
years ago, when there was great surplus of un
employed labor? If, as Judge Gary hints, it is
made necessary in order to meet foreign compe.
