Natures Little Joke

apples" he says, ARE neither flavor

ing nor cooking" He might have said
more. IIe might have told of the re-
proachful looks cast on you by a hog
or COW when You, give 1t a Ben Davis.
Some one must have had an awful
crouch to call this thing AFTER a man
OF that name. The Ben Davis is a
deceptive looking vegetable. In color
and shape it resembles a flne apple.

Mrs. Pinkham's Picture
Forwarded To Lady AStOr

A New Years greeting Of more
than ordinary interest was received
by Miss Rasamond Connor of this
city last Wednesday. This was in the
form of a card bearing the words,
with best wishes from Lord ana
Lady Astor." The card had on the
front picture of the Houses of Par
lament. England and in one corner
the picture of Idly Astor was in
serted.
Miss Conner. as a delegate from
the Augusta League of Women

held last spring in Baltimore. Md.
and while there she met Lady Astor
and had an opportunity to hear obth
Lord and Lady Astor speak.

reference to the. governors silence,
and referring that to a committee
for consideration. But these pro-
posals were voted down and the
draft was adopted as introduced by
Rev. A. Il. Conrad. A moment later,
on a motion to amend, DR.. Conrad
agreed to change the reference to
the governors silence from repre-
hensible" to 'regrettable."
The resolutions follow:
1.-THE Evangelical Alliance .deplores
the scandalous condition in this
state. with respect to the enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Amendment.
We regard this deplorabIe condition
as largely due to the indifference of
an inefficiency at the central office
and the inaction of men appointed
to prevent illicit liquor selling. We
are prepared to inquire whether
Commissioner Hayes is not subver-
sive to every interest of this state
and whether he should not promptly
be retired from his present position.
I'VE insist that a man of courage
and aggressiveness, with vigorous
personality and invincibe determin-
alton, be appointed to take the place
OF Mr.. Elmer Z. Potter.
I'VE regret that this most import
ant of all matters before the Massa-
chusetts public, namely. law enforce
ment of the prohibition act, should
have been ignored by Governor Cox
in his recent inaugural and we regard
such silence as regrettable.
I'VE urge the Anti-Saloon League
not to be content with a policy of
wiStful waiting and slow educational
programme so in0ffensive to the Ii
quor traffickers while outrageous and
constant violations of the prohibitory
law demand an active and uncom-
promising campaign of arraignment
and law enforcement. and we urge
the contraction of effort in securing
effective enforcement officials.
1--WE believe it is high time the
Christian citizens combine to put an
end to the orgy of law violation and
demand the appointment of officials
who will rigidly, relentlessly and
righteously enforce prohibition as
provided by the constitution of the
United States.
I'VE know and everybody knows
that the eighteenth amendment can
be enforced if men with brain,
Drawn and a will to perform their
duty are placed in position to do

The Earth Inside

be confirmed by later Investigations.
According to this expert. the STEADY

little beyond that depth. Combined
with the fact that mathematlclans

Thinkers are specializing upon the
The effect upon the Negro race OF all
the movement toward industry and
lrpanization.
The Negro, it is pointed out, in
creases numerically only on Southern
farms. Elsewhere the deaths out
number births. The City Club OF At
anita presents figures Oh Negro death
rates as follows:
Northern farms, Negro death rate,
"a per 100 births.
Southern cities, death rate, 127 per
100 births.
Northern cities, death rate, 115 per
Southern farms, death rate, 66 per
100 births.
Commentators upon census returns
point out that the proportion Of Negro
population to White population is
gradually decreasing even though the
Negro population shows an increase
In 1890 the Negro population com
prised about one-fifth of the popula-
ton of the country Today the Ne
groes number ten million but are only
one-tenth of the total population. BY
the year 1000 it is estimated the Ne
gro population will less than one
twentieth of the total population.
These figures are pertinent when
one considers the race problem
They point to it's ultimate solution
without violence.

City Man Pays
Bulk of Taxes.

The city resident in Wisconsin pays
more taxes than the farmer, the re-
port of the state tax commission is
sued Tuesday shows.
The report, based upon comparative
facts gathered by the commission
shows that the true value Of city
property in Wisconsin is but As per
cent of the total value of all property
IN the state, but that cities bear So
per cent of the total taxes.
The commission figures set the true
value of rural property at $2,224,247.-
1O7 and the true value OF city prop
erty at $3.50, 485, 735. City property
is shown to have been taxed for $44,
&21, 787 while rural property was
taxed for $32,284,597.
Thomas E. Lyons, chairman Of the
tax commission, says that Wisconsin
farmers are not overtaxed when their
state is compared with that of the
city resident, but explains that the
farmers business is not paying at
present and says it is this situation
which gives rise to the complaint Of
The farmers.
The average rate assessed in rural
communities has been It'll mills. In
cities the average rate is 2703 mills.
BE it said, however, that while the CITY
man pays more taxes than the farmer,
his Improvements are more consider
able and he benefits proportionately.

The Governments Attitude on
Home Cider Making.

Prohibition Director Roy A. Haynes
in a letter to Representative John P.
Hill of Maryland, indicates that the
government intends taking no drastic
stand against the making of cider and
fruit juices by farmers.
Mr. Haynes first quotes the regula-
lions in regard to cider and fruit
juices and adds:
while it is, of course, both the duty
and intention of this unit to prevent
the use of cider and fruit juice manu-
featuring privilege from being per-
verified to the manufacture of intOXi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes,
nevertheless, the prevailing customs
and practices in the manufacture of
this simple domestic article are such
that it is believed that to attempt to
fix a definite prohibited percentage
of alcoholic strength, which was APP
parently not the intention of congress,
would have the effect to confuse, him
der and delay the plain farmers of the
country in the enjoyment OF a long
enjoyed right and one which it is be-
lieved congress never intended should
be denied"
Mr.. Hill, leader of the vets in con-
gress, is permitting some once innoc-
uous grape juice to ferment in his Gel
lar In due time this will develop
wine of something like II to IA per
cent alcoholic content. Mr.. Hill wants
Director Haynes to tell him when the
fermentation of his grape juice shall
cease and who will get it. He has Of
ficially notified the prohibition officers
of what he is doing and is having
chemist mike frequent analysis OF
the wine and he will send these re-
ports to Washington from time 10
time
Mr. Hill insists he is not defying
the law He is merely letting nature
take it's course and is craving infor
nation and guidance from the nation
al capital.
In any case the statement of Mr..
Haynes clears UP a point in which
many if not most, farmers are inter-
ested in Our personal belief is that
when the manufacture of drinks con-
tanning a mild amount of alcohol be-
gins and ends in the home the problem
is as well settled as it ever will be
and we'll settled indeed.
