THE DRAGON
By DR.. Frank Crane

In the folk lore of almost every country
there is a tale of some dragon or other
monster who takes toll of the fa1rest or
comelest youth of the country.
This is the imaginative form in which
the child mind Of the race impersonateo
those dark and sinister forces that prey
upon life.
For the sheepfold there are the raven
ing wolves; for the traveller In the forest
there are the venomous snakes and the
swift panthers; for nations there are the
marauding barbarians; for orderly society
there are the assassins and thugs; around
every peaceful enclosure or life there glow
the jungle eyes Of cruelty.
But of all the monsters OF the world,
none can excel the drug habit in the eff
cheney of horror.
The world has recently been shocked by
the death of young, handsome and popu-
lar movie actor in Los Angeles.
He had health, beauty, wealth and ex-
traordinary talent. The drug habit robbed
him of these one by one and finally took
life itself.
The two particular demons were NOR
phine and whisky.
The almost insuperable difficulty in saw
ing any man from the drug habit is per-
SOnal liberty. Wnen he mas ceased 10 pc a
child we can no longer control him. We
cannot restrain him from his vice, and yet
he does not cease to have power to hurt
us. The only way to cure drug taker
is to get him to cure himself.
The world, however, is waking up to the
fact that it can reduce the of human
misery by controlling the supply of noxious
drugs. Such dangerous things as opium,
heroin, cocaine, and the like, have for some
time been severely restricted by law, and
public sentiment is rather solidly behind
such law.
The effort, however, to restrain similarly
the sale of alcohol has come up against a
tradition as old as civilization, a noxious
custom that has been glorified in literature,
a vast cancer that has roots centuries old.
AS this article is being written there is
a rum fleet Of fifteen or twenty vessels in
the Atlantic ocean standing outside of the
three-mile limit. From this fleet boats are
sneaking in to the coast.
Some of the most brilliant minds of the
country are doing their best to bring the
prohibitory law against alcohol into disre-
pute.
The conscience and common sense of the
United States have declared against the
public sale of alcohol as being the most
dangerous because the most insidious of the
drug enemies Of life.
On the one hand are the arguments of
conviviaity, of tradition, of personal liberty
and of immense investment. Opposed to
all this however, humanity may simply
stand by the coffin of Wallace Reid, the
latest and most conspicuous prey of the
minotaur, and say: This Is my answer"

GO ON
BY BERTON BRALEY


" EEP on a little longer,
II Though the game seems gone,
1t makes your spirit stronger
If you just keep on;
What il you're sick and stale, you're
Not all gone, | guess,
Keep on, it's thus that failure
Often brings success.
Keep on a little longer
Why should you admit
That anybodys stronger
Than yourself-and quit?
Although your peps diminished
Why, the wise guy knows,
The game is never finished
Till the whistle blows.
When eyry bone and snew
Seems to fail you, flat.
There's Something Else that's in you
Which is more than that;
There's a spirit that is stronger,
With a vigor strange.
Keep on a, little longer
And the luck may change!

Just Among Ourselves

TrHE article by DIR. Soule in last Satur-
days Tri-Weekly, declaring that Geor-
gia farmers should plant to produce
between 100000 and 100000 bales of
cotton this year, has stirred up a tremen-
dous amount of interest in the state. One
big manufacturer writes asking for 1000
reprints of it.
It is hardly necessary for US to say that
we approve of everything DR.. Soule said
Otherwise we would have expressed our diff
ference of opinion with him.
But we do insist that every reader should
give thought to ALL of the things DR.. Soule
said
He made it plain and emphatic that the
foodstuffs that he will need during the year.
Second, that he should plant no more cot,
ton than he can cultivate properly.
Third, that he should prepare his soil
with extreme thoroughness.
Fourth that he should fertilize to the ez-
tent of his ability and the lands need,
F1Llu IudC AO SAOuA0 OOIoih SOON 0SSN'
And in this connection, we call your atten-
ton to a remarkable report in this issue on
different seeds which have been proved out
on the farm of the state college.
Sixth, that he should fight the boil weevil
increasingly to the extent of his ability.
Seventh, that he should sell his cotton
operative association, thus obtaining correct
grading and stapling and an average price
for his cotton.
Every one of those things is of VITAL i'm
portance. Do not overlook any one of them.
If you do, do not blame this paper or DR.,
soule for giving bad advice.
The advice is all right. The fault will be
your own.

DRY of David. He had been lying in
rough bunk in the mountain cabin, and Da-
vid beside him on a wooden box had been
bending forward and feeling his pulse. He
had felt very weak and utterly inert, and
he knew now that he had been very i'll.
The cabin had been a small and lonely one,
with snowpeaks not far above it, and it
had been very cold. During the day
woman kept up the fire. Her name was
Maggie and she moved about the cabin like
thin ghost. At night she slept in lean

man who seemed to know him well-John
Donaldson, he learned was his name-was
Maggies husband, and every so often he
came, about dawn, and brought food and
supplies.

surveyed last spring, is expected to
start soon. Farmers and Sites res
idents have organized to build sec
ton of the road, and will contribute
labor and money toward the work.
The county board, also, will be asked
to cooperate
The proposed new grade comprises
a series of switchbacks, and will cross
tbe old road at several different places.
Because of the route taken, it VIII
not BIO necessary TO complete the en-
tire project before it can be used,
but sections can be built and traf1c
over the completed road can be d.
verified to sections of the old grade
until the entire work is finished.
Will Start at River
It is planned to shortly commence
construction at the South Fork Of the
Clearwater river and build upward to
a point on the old road above what is
known as the Jack pines, thus elimln-
ating the steepest pull on the grade.

near the planning mill, and runs seven
and half miles to the head of Wall

grade of less than percent.
While no definite step toward financ-
ing this road has been taken, it is
pointed out that the Woodland High
way district can bond up to $4,000
and sentiment of residents Of the dis
trict is said to favor voting a bond
ISSUE for building the road, which
would be of benefit to the Woodland
