Poets Corner
ELECTION MEDICINE.

"Day by day in every way"
Our City Halls a joke,
All our money they have spent,
And now our purse is broke.
And SO each day in every way,
The fight grows more and more,
And now to each they will not speak
But turn and slam the door.
Too much raw meat / fear they eat,
For safety to each other,
When one cries out with a rancous
shout,
You're fired I'm not. You're another.
And now it's time for us to find
A cure for all their ills,
Instead of meat that they do eat
Some bitter ballot pills.
These ballots pills are hard to take
Their work is to perfection,
They'll cure this joke of day by day
After our spring election.

TEXAS NIGHT.

Oh listen, you can hear at night
The sweet gulf breeze assigning;
Oh, come with me, when darkness
sends
Days echoes all a-flying.
That / may show you how the stars
Hang lingering DER the pasture bars,
Like little, jewelled scimitars,
Beneath a Texas sky!
Far off sounds dismal coyotes wall,
Mystery everywhere!
While close at hand a night hawk
shrieks,
Whirring through still air;
In lazy bliss the cattle roam,
Contented meath the heavenly dome,
The ranchman's happy in his home,
Blessed by a Texas sky!
And oh, the wind brings happiness
To souls in peace a-living;
The warm moon beams on loving
hearts
That 20 through life a-giving;
On each small home blessings shed,
Contentment round about is spread,
And God looks down from overhead
Above a Texas sky!

A WORLD DAIRY MEET

The United States government through
President Harding has called an inter-
national conference at Washington for
the fall OF 1928 which is not attracting
general attention but which probably is
lar more important than the average
political conference of world powers.
This meeting is to consist OF an inter
national gathering of dairymen and al
lied interests such as breeders of fine
dairy stock, experts in sanitary control,
makers of dairy equipment and various
other branches Of this great industry.
1t may come as surprise to many peo-
pie to learn that the United States stands
at the head of the dairy industry where
formerly we were far down the list But
Our position is in volume only because
in the economic production Of milk, but
ter and cheese, we are outclassed by
several smaller and less-favored nations.
In the feeding and care OF Our dairy
animals we also have much to learn.
The value of milk in the human diet
is becoming recognized more and more
as are the difficulties of a pure milk
supply as we grow in population. That
we are going to materially increase Our
consumption of milk, butter, cheese and
other dairy products is apparent from the
data already available which shows that
we are consuming almost double the
amount of dairy products we once used.
But the ever increasing costs of produc-
ton and the still higher costs of dis
tribution in the larger cities mitigate
against the dairyman's financial SUCCESS
This is one Of the knotty problems to be
discussed at this conference as is the
lettering of the worlds dairy herds, es.
pecially those of the United States SC
that the yield per cow will be greater
with a proportionatc lower production
cost. The ideal dairy animal of today
produces as much milk and butter a:
two dairy animals of decade ago. II
fact no dairy cow is profitable that c; +
not excel the COW of few years ago
when feedstuffs were low and lands
were cheap.
The American people have been anC
probably always will be nation of mea
eaters. We cat more meat than an,
other people in the world. But that i
no reason why we can not rrofitabl,
combine dairy products with our menus
more than we are accustomed to doins
| now.
e The Department of Agriculture est
mates that in 1922 the American peopl
t ate 1888, 100000 pounds Of meats. Thi
a is equivalent to 1897 pounds for eacl
e iperson, large and small, in the country
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-03-18

This is per capita increase of more than
six pounds over the figures for 1921.
Much of the wonderful energy dis
played by the American in all lines of
endeavor is due to the fact that he is
so well fed, however non-meat eaters
may decry the statement. But it is
equally true that for many workers in
sedentary occupation. larger consump-
ton of dairy products would be highly
beneficial and the dairying business in
this country has wonderful future.
Such an international conference is of
especial interest to South Texas. This
region is destined eventually to be the
great dairying center of the country. To-
day several of the finest herds of dairy
animals in America are in South Texas.
We rapidly are encroaching upon the
dairying predominance of Illinois, Wis
cousin, Michigan, Iowa and other dairy
ing centers because of our open winters,
year-around green pastures, cheaper
lands and cheaper housings.
One of the greatest indications OF re-
turning world normally is to be found in
such conferences as the international
dairy conference in Washington. They
should all be given encouragement

kissing our faces with impudent

Pickfords and the possibility that any
of them may have fractured the national
prohibition law, one may be able to get
little entertainment out of the phrase
"coast-wide conspiracy"
Just how many-or rather how few
persons are required to form a con-
spiracy? OF course one person is too
few" The minimum number is two.
Three, four, five, six, a hundred, five
hundred, a thousand, ten thousand
where will the line be drawn?
Legally, "coast-wide" might be in
terpreted in such way that only few
persons would be affected. One can
never foretell which way "the law will
jump-toward the rational or the alb
surd. But in the common acceptation
of the word its use in the connection in
which the federal prohibition agent EN-
ployed it would convey the idea that
nearly everybody on the Pacific coast
had entered into a compact to violate
the Volstead law.
Reason counsels against the ac-
ceptance of the statement, thus implied
by the government official, that thou
sands upon thousands of people in CAL
ifornia have actually plotted with each
other to violate the national prohibition
law. But this is not the first time
prohibition enforcement agent has re-
sorted to hyperbole-or just plain ex-
aggeration, though some people might
use the shorter, uglier word-in an at
tempt to gain popular support. This one,
like others of his kind, seems to have
overlooked one very simple matter: If
all the people of any section had con-
spired together to violate the law, there
would be nobody left to give any kind
of support, moral or physical, to any pro-
hibition agent.
AS matter Of fact, the people of Cal
ifornia, with the exception of those who,
like the bootleggers and moonshiners,
have got rich off prohibition, are in
dividually opposed to what the COM
planning enforcement agent stands for.
AS a matter of probability, those who
are opposed to prohibition are indepen-
IDENTIFY doing substantially the same
thing-the majority of them buying il
licit liquor as need or opportunity arises,
and the rest selling it for profit.
That just about describes the entire
countrys attitude toward the Volstead
act Each person opposed to national
prohibition has his own ideas about get
ting around the law; if those ideas hap
pen to be practically the same as the ideas
of other citizens on the same subject,
then the American people as a whole
might be said to be conspirators against
the Volstead act, if conspiracy" is given
the definition invited by the California
agents apparent application of the word.
When the people as whole conspire
against anything governmental, what be-
comes of that thing?

GERMANY FAILS AGAIN

The European situation, in so far as
( it may be dependent upon the German
governments attitude toward repara-
tons, seems to be on the point of ameli-
Grafton and possibly of radical change.
But in reality any change that might be
made would depend in last analysis
! upon not only the attitude, but also the
motives, of the French. In short, there
are various factors, and one cannot be
sure than any of them is determinative.
However, it is interesting to study the
elements of the situation in their appar-
emily new alignment. Upon doing so,
one may be impressed most by the indi-
cation that the Germans gained from the
world war little knowledge of human
nature. For help in combating or max
ing unsuccessful the French occupation
of the Ruhr region, the Germans seem
to have been relying upon a method of
appeal which, after brief period of Sue
cess, failed utterly to fulfill their re-
quirements in the recent conflict
+ Since the French entered the Ruhr,
the Germans have been telling each other
and trying to tell the world, that they
are the only truthful, deserving, peace
full, trustworthy, productive people on
earth. The German people as whole
have been standing solidly back of the
Cuno government in its policy of "pas-
sive resistance" to the invaders. They
seem to have thought that Great Britain
or the United States, or possibly both
Of those countries, would intervene, kick
France out and settle the reparations dis
pute in accordance with Germany's own
estimate Of her ability to pay.
When German government officials
4 saw that nothing of the kind was likely
to materialize, they saw, apparently that
they were in an awkward position. They
had the backing of the people to such
an extent for the policy of passive re-
sistance" that they might not be able
to undertake any other program.
Recently, however, it was reported
that the Cuno government was ready
to talk turkey" on Preparations if all
of the Allies would listen. The German
premier has no desire to talk to the
French alone. But if the others would
gather round and be attentive he would
present proposition whose acceptance
he would have the world believe, would
solve the reparations problem conclu-
sivcly.
So, the German government admits
that its effort to gain the sympathy OF
the world has failed. Its next task NAV
be to convince the German people of that
fact. 1t would be an extremely hard
job, because the Germans seem to be
II deficient in that faculty which enable:
one to realize what sort of impression
4 he is creating upon others.
But even if the German people should
cry out that they were ready to under
take the payment of all reparation:
claims the French might not consent t.
listen to proposals-unless, perchance
the invaders should realize that they hac
adopted an Improbable method of col
4 lection. In the end the French ma,
reach that conclusion, unless they en-
tered the Ruhr region with the purpos
of remaining there regardless of whethe
Germany did or did not pay.
