BEUbAH, Mt View. Wyo.: a reader
from Idaho has kindly sent n poem en-
titled Forty Years Ago" and wonders
II by any chance 1t might be the one
you wish. He quotes this from mem
DRY and says there are several more
stanzas. Perhaps some one else may
remember the others.
I've wandered to the village, Tom,
I've Sat beneath the tree
Upon the schoolhouse playground
That sheltered you and me.
But none were left to greet me, Tom.
And few were left to know
Who played with us upon the green
There forty years ago.
The grass was Just as green, dear Tom.
Barefooted boys at play
Were sporting just as we did then
With spirits just as gay.
But the master sleeps upon the Hill
Which coated DER with snow
offered us sliding place
There forty years ago.

TELLING US WHAT WE KNOW

B. c. Forbes of the leading students of business in

exchange to visit the Northwest When he left New York

e arrived in St. Paul he tersely said that if the bears
should make the trip to the Northwest they would all on
ahe "bull" side of the market.
One peek at this ngoratng country would break the
hardest pessimst in the world Mr.. Forbes said
Mr. Forbes statement is reinforcement of the view
taken recently by Roger W. Babson noted business student
who declared the Northwest in the best shape OF any
section to weather business difficulties.
At this time when there both pessmsts and optmists
expressing their views might view the vast resources
.of the Northwest and recall the statement OF the late
Perpon Morgan who declared he bear on the
Omitted States.
Mr. Forbes gives to the Northwest fresh view of the
situation and Utilities irI the future.
The time in which the farmer is able to turn his work
-nto cash period of few months This uneconOmic
situation he will have to be remeded and this be
:done largely through diversified farming

power is available for development.
The Pacific northwest has half the timber in the United
States.
The dairy industry climate SOIL fuel and other natural
resources of the Northwest made it stand among the
:seciOns of the country. -
To any living in the Northwest there perhaps moth
fling in the statemetof Mr. Forbes for the confidence
the future which he has induced most people in
sthe Northwest long begin it's development But is
interesting to receive from the lips of New Yorker real
appreciation of the wealth and possibilities of the section

WHAT YOU EAT

Do people acquire the characteristics of what they eat:
Yes according to scientific theory supported by
vegetarans. lot of have the notion lurking in
the back of for instance the popular belief
that feeding steak to prize fighter make him ferociouy
aggressive =,
Possibly this theory will explain the sad resigned facial
expressions of many of the patrons of the buttemk
bars.
On the other hand last night in restaurant observed
fra appearing little ndustrousy attacking
huge steak French fries salad, pie and the like. Over in
the sat big bruiser of picture of health He
was eating crackers and milk.
Considerable sensation has recently been caused
the worlds anthropologsts by F. Aritages book which
presents the theory that racial characteristics deter
mined by the diet consumed over many generations.
Armitage claims that racial augmentation colorng
controlled bv the of salt habitually consumed with
food His theory is that the dark could bleach them
considerably by eating salt for many gener
atoms Z
And on Armage arguing that all the physical char
acterscs peculiar to the various and natonaes
are the result of ancestors diet.
If he's right the eventual absence of alcohol from the
American diet may work startling changes in
descendants appearances.

What's Going on in
The World
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.
NEA Service Writer

Prohibition, the drys say, has fail
ed. Yes, the drys. The vets say
SO, too, Of course. But they never
said SO more emphatically than it
was said at the meeting the dry
leaders held in Washington to de-
eide what to do.
According to the dry Investigators
who reported to the meeting:
Drink conditions were improving
in the wet days just before prohibi-
ton; with prohibition, they slumped
and have been getting worse ever
since.
WherelTbey Differ.
81 But the. dtys don't favor aban-
dOning prohibition.
Vets say it can't be enforced be-
cause the country doesn't want it.
Drys say the country does, want
it; the reason it isn't enforced is,
officials don't try. They blame poll
tics. That isl they say in many
places endorsements in the hands of
vets who get their jobs through po-
litial pull.
Governor Pinch6t's Plan.
!, Pinchot.of Pennsylvania is most
outspoken among the dry governors.
He puts it up Is President Coolidge
to take personal charge" of en-
forcement. ~
Let George Do It.
Strangely, Pinchot's supporters
are governors Of wet Smith,
New York; Richie, Maryland; SA-
ger, New Jersey: Cox, Massachusetts,;
Morrison. North Carolina; Blaine,
Wisconsin,: Parker, Louisiana. Their
attitude is-iS's . federal law. let
the federal government enforce it, if
it can.
Governor Allen of Kansas is typi-
cal of the drys. He says his stat.
doesn't expect the president to be a
policeman: If the states are other
wise helpless, let them use the mill
tia. But as for military force, adds
Governor Hinkle. New Mexico. the
whole army and navy can't enforce
whst the>people don't want. Z,
The drys urge law punishinE
liquor buyers, as well as bootleggers.
What Coolidge Asks.
President Coolidge doesn't seem to
want the "buck" passed to him. H.
pledges the federal government to do
its part, but wants more co-opera-
tion from the states.
Germany and France. II.
: Chancellor Stresemannf abruptly
announces Germany hereby stops
paying anything more to France. He
held of, he says, because he wanted
to prove first that France isn't after
payments. but Germany's ruin. He
declares he's proved this, by uneon-
dtional'y surrendering In the Ruhr,
giving France everything she asked,
but It hasn't Helped any. Now that
