Medical Prescriptions
Prohibition Issue.

/ The American Medical Association
meeting in Chicago last week, passed
a resolution calling for legislation to
repeal those sections of the prohibit
ton act which limit the amount of al
cohol physicians may legally pre-
scribe. But a few dissenting votes
were cast.
Medical opinion stands about fifty
fifty on the use Of alcohol in healing.
| 1t is generally conceded that alcohol
being practically pure carbon is as
simulated quicker than any other
agent and furnishes a stimulant with
out bad after effect better than any
other remedial agent. Considered as a
drug it has its place along with other
drugs in the pharmacopoeia. Except
for one thing it would stay there with
little wrangling over it.
That one thing is this: Alcohol's
very power to stimulate quickly lends
to the abusive use of it. We believe
that small amount of alcohol often
does a deal of good We believe also
that alcohol taken as a tonic or mild
form of beverage does no particular
harm. And we positively believe also
that taken in over-doses and made a
structive of soul and body and an ut
ter curse.
Opinions differ on the eXpediency,
wisdom and morality of prohibition.
We all have our views and these views
vary. But on one thing we are all
united That is this: Prohibition if
prohibition is to be should be thor
ough and sweeping. We want either a
reconsideration of the Volstead act
and modification of the law or fur
Their Tightening. Hypocritical half
measures will not do and do not COM
mand respect so essential to any law
enforcement.
1t is idle to assume that preScrip-
ton whiskey is dispensed to cure dis
ease. Probably not one case out of
one hundred actually takes the med
icine" for medicinal purposes. And it
is apparent also that full purse
able to pay the rather stiff fees de-
manded determine whether or not one
gets a pint rather than morality, law
or ethics surrounding prohibition and
it's enforcement. If it is wrong to
buy ''hootch" of a bootlegger it is
equally wrong to buy pint of a drug
gist even though the method be legal.
There can be no doubt about the NOR
ality of that.
And the prohibition law is incon
sistent when it allows the issuance of
wines for sacramento purposes. We
do not question the right of people
to use wine if they see fit but we can
not see the consistency of the laws
stand in the matter. If it wrong one

The Story of
a Tree.

/ lIccs
Few men are there who do not love
| trees. In fact, in some way or another
we feel a great kinship with trees
And why should we not? The tree is
mans big brother 1t shelters him
warns him, clothes him, lights him.
| fires him. The tree in some form or
another enters into almost every hu-
man activity.
And then beyond all these practical
things the tree appeals to our souls.
It's grace, it's beauty, its purity, its
chastened serenity against the sky
line fill the world for us. We exult
in our hearts when we look at beau
tiful tree And when we plant seed
ling, nurture it, cultivate it, protect
and watch it grow strong and beautl-
full to shelter us in our old days we
feel as though we were helping God.
We say this reverently, utterly SO.
So here is a story of tree. 1t was
told by the president of the Rotary
club of Elyria, o., in introducing a
noted speaker on conservation topics.
He said:
81 have the most wonderful tree in
the world at my house. Some Is years
ago I had little boy who was then
three years of age. In the early fall
he would go out and gather the buck
eyes
We suppose he meant horse chest
nuts as there are very few buckeyes
in the Buckeye state. He went on:
"The little fellow would gather the
buckeyes, sometimes by pocketsful
and sometimes by basketful and bring
them in and play with them. One day
he took sick. The next day he was
better, so he went out as usual and
brought in just one large fine buck
eye and played with it.: and the next
day he died.
After little pause the president of
the club said:
IT took that large fine buckeye and
carried it with me all the long win
ter. I took it out every little while
and looked at it and was reminded
of him. And when the springtime
came, l went out and planted it down
under his little sandpile. Later the
sand was taken away and the buck
eye sprouted and came up, a healthy
little plant. Then I built fence
around it to protect it, and I called
the boys of the neighborhood together
and told them the story. asked them
to help me protect this tree. l told
them they might break anything else
I had, the windows in the house, my
automobile or anything else, but
please don't break this tree. They
have respected that request, and the
tree stands there today, Is years old,
a healthy young specimen and the
most wonderful tree in the world"
The thought occurs to us when we
read this pathetic story that the living
tree he referred to is monument not
alone to the little boy who died, but
also a monument to a fathers love.

was guaranteed to save 20 per cent
on fuel. Then he put in special spark
plugs that were guaranteed to save

special rear axle that was also guar

The Value of
a County Fair.

A country fair, from its primary
standpoint, meant an exhibition of
livestock, grains, plants, culinary and
other household arts, needlework and
so on. In fact it meant a "punkin
show" and the patrons were we'll
pleased.
Later on various forms of enter
tainment were added. Horse racing,
harness and saddle, held attention for
years. No better form of entertain
ment was ever introduced The visitor
viewed the fat sheep, swine and cat
tie, wandered while on the tan-bark
of the exhibition hall and then hiked
to the old-fashioned grand" stand.
Sitting on the pine boards he watched
the horses perform.
In the nineties bicycle racing came
into vogue and was an added feature
of the country fairs. 1t proved excel
lent sport also. Still later came motor
cycle racing, fairly successful, and an
attempt at auto racing which was not
at all adapted for a small track.
The carnival with its attendant smut
shows and cheap con games of vari-
Gus kinds came in the last few years.
They served to degrade the fair and to
disgust the better class of patrons.
Tried and found wanting, the carnival
show has been ruled from the fair
grounds of the state and any fair al
lowing show of that class may lose
its state aid
This matter of country fairs is now
being gone into exhaustively Speak
ing of the lapse in the country fair
Prof. A w. Hopkins of the college of
agriculture says:
"The value of the county fair plants
in this state is Appropriated at over
S1,557 100000. That represents the
buildings, grounds, and all of the con-
veniences on these grounds, and forms
another great item in the county fair.
All of this capital is tied up in an in
stitution that is only used four days
to week in the year. We may well
ask ourselves, does it pay?
Right here is where we would feel
the responsibility resting upon our
shoulders. Are we doing our share to
make this profitable investment for
our country? Do we have that county
consciousness or the self-respect and
pride that we should have in our home
county? If we have not then this is
great challenge to come out of the
ether and make our county fair a
paying investment and an inspiration
TO ourselves and to our neighbors."

Unthinking Cruelty.
Concentration.


At the National Editorial Conven-
ton in Oklahoma City couple of
weeks ago the man who received first
prize for having the best editorials
and the best appearing paper in gen
eraI was blind man. He has been
blind for years. While competitors
were whining around about hard luck
and difficulties of their business this
blind man went ahead making one of
the worlds best newspapers.
II is probable that being blind he
had time to concentrate on the things
he wanted to do and the thoughts he
wanted to work out without being dis
tracted by a lot of petty things con-
stantly coming before the eyes of
all those who can see.
No one would willingly lose his eye
sight to gain in concentration powers
although it is on record that Greek
philosopher did that very thing and
counted the sacrifice we'll made But
we can get a lesson from this, never
theless. To think around subjects and
get a clear view from all sides we
cultivate our powers of concentration.
We gain by this because we gain a
power over ideas, and ideas, not mill
tary forces, rule the world.

Fear.

teHTs
DR.. Sadler in the Psychology of
Faith and Fear" tells us that which
Shakespeare said: "It is not in the
stars but in ourselves that we are
underlings." The purpose of the great
minds is to lift the mass of us out of
cowardly and superstitious thinking.
and render us masters instead of
creatures of destiny.
The things most of us shudder about
when we think of them never happen
And the things most of us are afraid
Of are bogies.
1t takes nearly lifetime to find the
truth but it comes to nearly all in the
course of time We realize that worry
doesn't pay and that things have a
certain habit of inevitability which
makes fretting rather futile And we
Danish fear, depending on the work
ings of better plan than ours to ar
range the course of things.
In his younger days the writer spent
good deal of wasted time worrying
over business. We used to worry about
debt and we used to worry about what
would happen to the office in case of
fire, illness of the boss or his force, or
shutdown or some other disaster
that would put us fiat on our backs.
These spectres in the back of the
mind exist no longer for us. The of

decimated by illness of any man can

the best we can and if destiny is too
strong for our plans we will control
