Shoebill well at all and he didn't
quite know what made a Shoebill
pleased and what made him mad.
81 beg your pardon, Shoebill, il /
have offended YOU" Billie Brownie
said
Needn't beg pardon" said the
Shoebill, for I'm not offended. Old
Grandfather Shoebill used to say to
us back in our African home:
Don't get offended, Shoebills. 1t
only causes you to feel unhappy, and
being unhappy when you don't need to
be unhappy is waste of beautiful,
beautiful time
$50 / try to keep my grandfather's
advice in mind"
"I'm glad to be cheered up said
Billie Brownie, "as I've been little
sad today.
81 met tattle-tale child on my way
here and a tattle-tale child always
makes Brownie very sad"
"Tll tell you jolly story said
Shoebill. my beak is great, long
peak as you can see.
"Its somewhat the shape of shoe
as you can also see, and as you've
heard before. l mean that you know
that is the. reason why we have such
family name.
"Now l have jolly reason why !
think we got that name OF course it
is only my little reason and so don't
put it down as natural history.
"Whatever else I've told you is So
we do come from Africa and we're
named Shoebill because our beaks look
something like shoe. But when tell
you my own jolly reason it is only my
own little story to cheer you up.
II think that there came a time
when news even reached Africa about
the price of shoes.
Fathers were worried, mothers were
worried, everyone was worried.
1.-THE price of children's Shoes
they kept hearing it all the time and 1t
had sound they didn't like. So they
said, Let's all of us look like a shoe
and always have our shoe with us.
Then wen always have something to
show when people try to brighten us
with the price Of shoes for children.
ave won't need shoes of course,
but people may try to upset us by talk
ing about such things and We'll always
have shoe for every member OF the
family and bill at the same time
which belongs to us and which no one
can send in at the first of the month. !"
Billie Brownie laughed and the Shoe
bill winked his eye. II cheered you,
he said brightly.

For Fattening Cows

Silage. is the cheapest feed which
can be used for fattening cows. Two
or three pounds of cottonseed cake,
together with corn fodder, prairie hay,
or other roughage is recommended in

EARRINGS FOR WEAK
EYES

ITO CURE sore eyes or strengthen
\ weak eyes wear little, round,
gold earring in the pierced lobe OF the
ear. Up to within comparatively re-
cent date this superstition was uni
versal in the United States. 1t still
exists in some parts of the country
and especially holds its own among
sailors of the old school. AS women,
with intervals of abstentation decreed
by fashion, are accustomed to wear
earrings for the sake of ornamental
ton, it is to men that the superstition
principally applies as curative proc
eSs.
This superstition had it's origin In
the strong belief of the ancients in the
power of the senses to convey actual
tangible effects to the body. The SUI
perstition of the evil eye is an example
of what it was believed the power
of sight could do and there was, also
belief in the power of conveyance
resident in the sense of hearing. Many
myths show that the ear was regard,
ed as a portal through which might
enter the vital principle conveyed by
the sense Of hearing.
The crocodile cult of Egypt is q
notable example. The crocodile was
worshiped as a sun-god at Sebek and
from most ancient times It's image has
been regarded as charm against the
evil eye. AS the sense of sight, through
the evil eye, was the spiritual con,
veyer of mortal ills, so the sense OF
hearing was, in general, regarded as
the conveyer of beneficent and vitaliz-
ing influences. Sore eyes and weak
eyes were regarded as the results of q
glance from the evil eye. Herodotus

dhe Dhg Of Superstitions
Bp Il. lRulNG KING

writing in the Fourth century especial
ly mentions this belief. Now if,
through the eye came evil, through the
ear might come good to counterfeit 1t.
Therefore was attached to the ear as
a votive offering to the beneficent
spirit Of life the mystic symbol of the
ring, concerning the meaning of which
volumes have been written. Taking
into consideration the cult of the
crocodile it would appear that the
little gold rings inserted into the lobe
OF the ear for curative purposes were
originally intended to represent the
sun.

the court.
While ii is serious offense against the
law, and an olTense against good citizen
ship, yet il is not the purpose of the court
to inflict death penalty, and that is what
a substantial period of imprisonment
would be in this case, but it must be
enough to impress this particular defend
ant with the fact that he has been guilty
of serious offense against the laws of
the United States, and to notify others
similarly situated that they can not do
what he has done without mourning GRIM
inal liability.

CORRUPTING YOUTH

Now, what will occur sooner or later is
this: parents who complacently read in
the papers that the bootleggcrS are busy,
and who naturally assume that it only
means that the old time boozers are get
ting their liquor Gas matter of fact few
people strenuously object to that are
going to catapult out of their easy chairs
and explode a yell of wrath that will
shake Washington when they learn that
it is not the old time boozers, but their
young sons and daughters that are get
ting liquor. And when that starts, the
bootleggers can kiss their graft goodbye.
1t will all be over.
The compiacence of America means
that it has not yet caught on to this an
cient ipdecency of the liquor business
the corruption of youth. When the
American people learn what is going on,
prohibition will be no longer joke. and
prohibition enforcement will become a
cruel steel trap-The Dearborn indie

LIQUOR AT HOME

As long as liquor is kept in the home,
SO long will it show up in the possession
OF youngsters at dances and other social
affairs. The youngster knows it is wrong
and unlawful for him TO take liquor to a
dance, but he reasons that it is no more
unlawful for him TO do that than it is for
his father to patronize bootleggers or OPP
crate an illicit still. He argues that he is
no more law-breaker than his "old
man." and the latter in showdown
hasn't leg left to stand on. When liq-
uor is gotten out of the homes in Amer
lean communities it will not show up so
plcntifully in the possession of school
boys at dances and parties. Responsible
ity for this thing may as we'll be placed
right where it belongs--in the home.
There is the place to hunt for the expla-
nation of the mystery as to how high
school boys get their booze.-Farmer

LAWS CAN BE ENFORCED
springfield Journal

Those who have been contending
that the liquor laws can not be en-
forced and that the public does not
believe in them, would be impress
ed by what takes place daily in the
federal court in this city. As fast
as those indicted for offenses can
get up to the bar of justice they
enter their plea of guilty and take
the consequences, which almost in
variably include a sentence to jail.
Two or three have had the temerity
to stand trial but the jury promptly
has returned verdict of guilty.
The government has its cases
ready and in good shape. Public
sentiment that operates through
such juries as the federal court is
fortunate i'll having, expresses it
self in favor of law enforcement
without respect to specific statutes.
When there is will and desire to
enforce the law, officials find it not
so difficult and are amazed at the
body of public opinion that en-
dorses enforcement.

to convict him of the crime OF conspiracy,
but where an institution becomes notori-
Gus as an unlawful institution, where the
person conducting the institution goes
into court and pleads guilty to violating
the prohibition laws and that fact is
known to the owner of the property,
where he goes into the property and sees
the law being violated, the mere fact that
he is only the landlord of the tenant docs
not protect him from criminal liability.
In all these cases of this character, the
element. of intent is very material ele
ment.
The law is that where two or more per-
sons conspire, confederate or agree to-
gether to commit an ofense against the
laws of the United States, they are con-
spirators. The mere fact that one only
furnishes the property for the use of the
one who is to dispense the liquor in vio-
1ation of the law, does not shield him.
He is as much part of the conspiracy
as the man that takes out the soft drink
parlor license, buys the white-mule, and
sells it to drunkards. And the sooner
that fact becomes known TO all property
owners, the sooner their property wilt be
safe, and the sooner they will be free
from liability of going to the federal
pcnitentiary.

is concerned
This is the first case of this kind that
has been presented here. The govern

be sufficient to punish this defendant, and

STAMP 1T OUT

Here is the way we look at the whole
bootlegging business: 1t is a cinch that if
a man is accused of bootlegging he is
either innocent or guilty. In the event he
is innocent he should be turned loose with
out undue delay. But, and on the other
hand, if he is guilty, we believe he should
receive everything court or jury has
within its power to give him. This is the
only way this dastardly business can be
stamped out.-Albion Democrat.

paddock SURPRISE AWAITS
SOME

In not few instances landlords have
suffered considerable financial loss through
law-breaking tenants; for the landlord is
presumed to know the use to which his
property is put, and if it is employed for
bootlegging purposes he need not be sur
priscd if some day he finds himself as
we'll as his tenants or occupants wholly
barred by injunction proceedings.--la
