work in the particular project he has
selected. Then either a department
specialist from the college or the
county agent gets in personal touch
with the banker to assist him in an
advisory capacity.
Samples Of the project outlines are
given below to illustrate the details
OF the procedure the college takes in
accomplishing its plan.
College Provides Expert Advisers
In counties with no county agent a
list Of the banks desiring to carry on
a project is sent to a specialist at the
state college, according to the project
listed. For, instance, the banks desir-
ing to carry on the farm accounts
project are assigned to the farm man
agement specialist. those desiring to
carry on the legume project to the
agrOnomy specialist, those interested
in boys and girls club work to the
tunior extension specialist. and so
forth.
In counties that do have a county
agent a list of the banks and the prof.
ects in which each is interested is
sent to him with request that he get
in touch with the bankers and help
them in regard to the various projects.
The next step by the college is to
write to each banker on the list send
ing him project outlines and inform
ing him that the county agent or
specialist from the college will get in
touch with him. II there is no agent
in the county this letter reads as

ALbiino

The term AlbinO was originally ap-
piled by the Portuguese to those ne
grOes who were mOttled with white
spots; but it is now applied to any
who are born with red eyes and white
hair. 1t is from the Latin word, albus,
white. Albion, one of the names of
England, is derived from the same
word; and it is said to have been
given to the southern part Of the is
land by Julius Caesar in allusion to
the white cliffs skirting the south
eastern coast where ne landed on the
occasion of his first invasion in the

ENGLAND NEAR PROHIBITION
N. Y. Times in Copyright Story
Quotes Lord Stevenson as Say
ing Lloyd George Seriously
Considered World Prohibition

According to a copyright London cable
OF October % in the New York Tir.es, it
has been revealed for the first time by
Lord Stevenson, managing director of
John Walker and Son, distilers. that En-
gland came near following the example of
the United States during the war in intro
ducng prohibition. Lord Stevenson held
important official positions with the Min
istry of Munitions during the war.
According to his story, Lloyd George
declared that it was his intention to stop
dstillation and introduce prohibition for
the period of the war. Lord Stevenson
protested on the ground that TO stop dis
tillation would mean that there would be
no anaesthetcs for the wounded, no dis
tillation for the solution of TINT. and
no bread, "for," he said ut takes the dis
tillation of twenty-five million gallons of
spirits a year TO produce the yeast from
which the bread of this country is pro-
duced."
Zone would think" concluded Lord
Stevenson, that looking back on those
days the man who won the war would at
least recognize the debt he owed 10 the
Scotch whisk trade"
1t is at least refreshing to have this new
argument from the liquor interests in de
Tense of the liquor traflic--no whisky, no
bread. But in this country we have dis
covered that no whisky means bread for
many, especially little children whose
bread ration was most meager during the
days Of the licensed traffic.

Policy of Dealing With Traffic Beer Vodka
Thence O 4O-60 Per Cent
By William E. Johnson


enness and also to more complaints that
the low per cent of alcohol in the vodka
did not quench the fires of vodka thirst.
Because this low per cent vodka added
to the floods of wine and beer failed to
solve the problem of drunkenness, the
government year or SO ago raised the
alcoholic content of the vodka to so per
cent. This they did because, as they said,
prohibition" had proven a failure
Thirty Per Cent Vodka Not Enough
In the whirHgig of events, it developed
that 80 per cent vodka only added to the
existing drunkenness 1t did not satisfy
the drinker, who demanded more alcohol,
and it did not satisfy the friends of law
and order who wanted less of the drink
instead of more. This so per cent vodka,
like the former low per cent vodka, was
also government monopoly. The wise
men solemnly scratched their heads and
declared that all this aggregation of woe
was because of the failure of prohibi-
ton"
1t was this that led up to the present
policy that went into effect on October |.
Because of the alleged failure of prohi-
bition," 40 and 90 per cent vodka was
thrown wide open on the people and they
kept repeating that the whole thing was
because of failure of prohibition" Sixty
per cent vodka is stronger than was the
pre-war vodka.
Boiled to the bone, there has been no
failure of prohibition" in Russia. The
only success in dealing with the liquor
was the prohibition of the early days of
the war, especially in northern and west
ern Russia where the prohibition was
complete and enormously successful.
The only failure" of any liquor policy
in Russia has been the failure of the
light wine and beer regime and the
failure of the attempts at government
control of vodka.
Already, we read in the Moscow dis
patches of the great crops prevailing in
Russia this year, how the mujiks expect
to reap this year thereby profit of D.
000,000,000 roubles. Then we read Boil
shevik prophecies as to how about $780,
100000 of this vast profit will come back
into the Red Treasury in the form of
vodka profits, and this enormous sum will
thereby become available for making
trouble for the internal capitalist nations
of the world.
All this loose tallltalltalll about the
failure of prohibition" in Russia is on par
with claim that the Flood was caused
by the drunkenness of Noah, even though
had subsidized.
