Moonshine at Country Dances.

The Herald is informed by keepers
of country dances that moonshine IS
brought in and sold by outsiders. AS
a rule the moonshine car parks d
short distance away from the dance
hall and peddling begins. Young men.
and sometimes, young women, make
periodic trips to take shot OF
hootch." In general the situation IS
the most demoralizing and dangerous
we ever heard of. Many of these
dances are not 1T for respectable
Young man or girl to attend.
The matter can be regulated but II
will take action by the county ooarG
to do it. The county authorities can
not act unless means are provided.
The county board now has power TO
do this. The menace is SO great that
legislation has been passed to meet
it. 1t exists not only here but every
whore in the state.

Blind Mems Eyes.


Herbert Geisler, 18-year-old Chlca-
go boy. blind since the age OF hve'
graduates at the head OF his hlgn
school class. His four-yeaT average
is 81 percent and the principal OF the
John Marshall school says Herbert
has the highest standing every ac-
credited to any graduate OF the
school. IL,
Herbert's achievement wins him a
5000 scholarship at Chicago Unlver-
sity. where he enrolls next fall as a
law student. He is president OF the
senior class and was member OF the
debating team that defeated Buffalo,
n. Y, high school last spring.
A devoted sister, Carol, aged "a
employed in the day time, was Her
bert's "eyes" at night. While others
slept or pursued pleasure this poor
blind boy toiled upwards through the
night.
Rich in a mighty determination to
excel. A marvellous power OF con-
centration is given to the blind. They
attain that efficiency possible to all
OF us if the eye did not constantly
lure us to attractive, but heetlng
things.

RICHARD LLOYD N 4
Make Others Happy
SAYS

One of the human fauacies that is not without It's virtue - :e
belief that we need something more than that which we have 10 he
happy. It is this unrest, this seeking for the more perfec, thing, that
brings us into such happiness IS we may know.
Happiness is the reward of duty. Duty is doing. The turtle may
be content but nobody thinks of him as being a creature of happiness
Yet in fancy we often speak of the happy birds because happiness
results from action. The peacock knows he is some bird, but the
alligator has a slumIeHng notion that he is a poor fish. We think of
the running brook a happy, but never so Of the stagnant pool.
Action must bear the test Of sober judgment; we ourselves must
be ale TO approve our conduct to find happiness.
The happy life goes from service to service, not from idle pleasure
to idle pleasure.
He who sets out to find happiness is pretty sure to fail 1t is
not a pursuit in itself. 1t comes a. the pay for service.
The most idle and in the end the most miserable life is the life
that seeks nothing but pleasure. Pleasure is good only a a recreation.
Happiness is so unconsciOusly a part Of the truly busy life that
we often fail to recognize it until it is gone. One seldom hears this
is a happy time; one often hears "those were happy times" We are
more prone to remember happiness than to prize it when we have it.
He finds most happiness who labOrs most to make others happy.
It is others who bring us our happiness. Wears the authors of our
happiness only as we may make others wish us to be happy.
Only through surmOuntng difficulties. through triumph Ove dis
appointment and defeat, through making the wrong right do we come
to know happiness. Without the biting frost we would never know
the glory Of the warmth Of the summer sun.

PAY NO HEED TO FORECASTS
OF NEXT WINTERS WEATHER

No credence should be given to
newspaper predictions of weather con-
ditions for long periods in the future,
even though such forecasts purport to
come from the Government. A case in
point is a recent prediction in a Boston
newspaper to the effect that the "com-
ing winter will be the coolest and
snowiest winter in history" in New
England.
The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture alb
solutely disclaims any responsibility
for such a statement. The bureau does
not attempt to issue predictions even
of a general character for weeks OF
months in advance. The subject OF
f~orecasting for seasons or consider
able periods ahead has long engaged
the attention of meteorological scien'
fists, but thus far no laws of sequence:
have been discovered whereby long.
range forecasts of a reliable char
acter can be made.
Reputable meteorologists through
out the world agree that the scienc'
has not advanced to the point where
it can be done.

FARM TENANCY INCREASING

Farm tenancy in the United
States increased only 1 per cent dur
ing the last decade, contrary to the
general belief that agricultural lands
were rapidly passing out of the hands
Of the owrer-operators into the hands
of tenants, Judging by a report of the
Institute for research in Land Eco
Monies and Public Utilities. This
body, directed by DR.. Richard T. Ely,
is organized specifically to conduct
research in land problems. Basing
its conclusions on 1920 census figures,
the institute concludes that "an in
crease in tenancy can be expected in
the normal development Of a nation,
a fact neglected by many who look
: upon tenant farming as something
| absolutely undesirable.
