KAHOKIA MOUND
IN GOOD STATE
OF PRESERVATION

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The great Kahokia
mound, one of the most famous exam
pies OF the mound builders work ex-
tant, lying near the city of East st.
Louis. has become the property Of the
state of Illinois. Preserved from the
lnroads of vandals and amateur exca-
yators by the vigilance of the Ramey
family, hereditary owners of the
mound, it is still in much the same
condition as it was when white men
hrst saw it, and it will now be perma-
nently protected as state park.
The state paid the owners S52.119
for tract of la acres, including the
great mound itself and several lesser
mounds near by. A traditional name
Tor the ancient earthwork is the
monks mound During early French
days in Louisiana territory COM
munlty of Trappists settled there and
built their monastery on top of the
artificial hill. Monks and monastery
have long ago disappeared, but the
name stuck long after they had de-
parted.

opinion about the matter?

opinion about the matter?
A. We think the difference in your
ages is too great for you TO entertain
the marriage proposition, and think
it will be for your own welfare if you
get away from this circumstances
@. Does it relieve the pain any for
person to "holler" when they have
a tooth pulled?
A. No, unless it is ''holler" tooth
that is being pulled.
@. What makes the hands seem
older than the rest of the body? How
can | keep my face smooth?
; A. Using soap on the hands so Of
ten takes the fat out and wrinkles
and harshens the skin. Parts of the
body less exposed have the velvet
softness of childhood even with old
people. 1t is good plan to not use
soap on the face oftener than once q
day. Use cold water and exercise.
Question: was born on June 26,
1882 What day of the week was that
and tell me my horoscope, please?
Answer-June &c, 1882, was on Mon
day. Those born on this date are not
likely to be brilliant, but they are
"safe people"-the kind their friends
and neighbors trust. At times they
are inclined to be hot-tempered, often
impatient They have excellent mem
cries and a keen eye for the beauti-
full. The men make good mechanics.
while the women make excellent
housekeepers. In love they usually
have great affection, which in the men
is physical, and the women it is aes-
thetic and spiritual.
Question: was born on June 3d.
1885. Give day of the week born and
horoscope, please.
Answer-June 80, 1885, was on
Tuesday Thoes born on this date
are usually distinctly literary and ar
tistic which stands out above all else
in the delineation of their character
They are self-reliant and have a very
strong will. They are generally sue
cessful in anything they undertake.
They have a clear vision of life ana
things generally, and are usually
quite popular in the set with which
they move They have keen sense
of humor and are full of fun. They
would make good actors and actress
ses if their talents were properly APP
piled and trained. They usually have
good singing voices which deserve
cultivation

HEARS ORGAN BROADCAST
FROM CLEVELAND STATION

Public Auditorium, Cleveland, Ohio.
Oct. Is, 1925.
Mr.. A. L. Sherman,
Lancaster, Wis,
Dear Mr.. Sherman:
Knowing that you and a number of
your Lancaster friends are radio en-
thusiasts, it just occurred to me that
you might be listening in on the first
Sunday night Civic program broadcast
by WEAR from the Cleveland public
auditorium.
1t is my privilege to be one of the
visible" audience and although the
music is being played particularly for
the Invisible radio audience, it is only
slightly different from regular pro-
gram and it is interesting to hear and
to see it from the inside"
During the organ recital portion of
the program the organist operated the
pipe organ and the announcer sat at
his station before a separate micro
phone. The stage remained lighted
throughout the performance but dur
ing each selection the lights in the
main hall were dimmed to give a sub
dued and vari-colored effect.
have often wondered when '1isten-
ing in" what the announcer did in be-
tween times and it is just as I thought
and that is, not much of anything but
wait until the selection is finished.
Occasionally he moved the main mi
crophone to more favorable position
before the members of the quartet but
usually he merely sat at his station
and listened or disappeared back of
the scenery probably to notify other
performers to be ready.
1t is remarkable to note the undiv-
lded attention of the audience and of
course their generous applause reg
listers on the radio together with the
other parts of the program Although
the auditorium seats over 1000 per-
sons there are only about 1000 scat
tered throughout the hall but it would
be impossible to estimate the number
or extent of the radio audience.
After the first organ recital a quar-
tet sang several selections and then a
large American flag, originally made
in Canada and presented by the Ro-
tary club of Toronto to the Rotary
club of Cleveland was in turn pre-
sented to the city of Cleveland. City
Manager Hopkins accepted in behalf of
the city. This flag is the largest l
have ever seen and although I do not
know the dimensions an idea of its
size may be gained from the fact that
two stripes equal the height of tall
man.
After the flag presentation the or
ganist again played and in the mean
time chairs and music stands were ar
ranged on the stage for the next
group of performers.
Since my vacation I have been at
work in Cleveland and vicinity but
am leaving on the midnight sleeper
tonight for Pittsburg for a few weeks
so hope to see keenan, Bennett while
there. On recent trip to Salem, O.,
l saw Clarence Markert for short
time and l understand he is now in
Cincinnati
If there is any chance that l may
be permanently located in the near
future | will subscribe for the Herald
but due to frequent changes of ad-
dress l must still depend upon seeing
copy from home occasionally.
With kindest regards to all, I re-
main,
Yours sincerely,
EDWIN H. KNOBEL.

w. C. T. us Are
"Die HardS."

Two hundred w. G. r. us in state
convention at Superior heard with a
stunned silence the remarks of Supt.
Paul r. Spencer of the Superior pub
lie schools who urged modification of
the prohibition law on the grounds
that if a large portion of the people
cannot be convinced that sacrifice of
personal liberty is necessary for the
common good the law must be
changed-not change human nature.
Spencer followed numerous speakers
extolling prohibition and he had his
courage with him to face convention
of opposite belief with an array of
facts and argument. Most people re-
main silent in the face of majority
even though they disagree. Yes Mr..
Spencer had nerve"
The modification advocate said the
idea of personal liberty was first root
ed in Americans when the Pilgrims
came to this country; that it FREEDOM
mated in the forming of the federal
constitution and that the new idea of
sacrificing personal rights for the
good of the public did not come until
about 1890.
GAS long as people do not believe it
necessary 10 IIlC puU1lS 5OOo IAoI IAAOy
give up their personal rights, you
may make up your mind that some
modification of this law is necessary,
Spencer concluded.
The Herald does not wish to be in
terpreted as ridiculing or having dis
respect for the w. c. T. U. These
ladies are worthy members of society
who have sincerely and courageously
fought for what they thought was
right. And this battle went on for
years. When liquor interests seemed
thoroughly enthroned the w. Z: L: U.
kept the faith and held the battle line
Under present conditions we do not
agree with them in standing for alb
solute and nationwide prohibition but
this difference is purely intellectual
and we have a great respect and feel
ing of good will for the membership
in our acquaintance.

Glasgow College Boys
Also Getting Playful

LONDON-Another fight between
students of Glasgow university over
the election of a rector took place
Saturday with unprecedented violence.
Twenty thousand rotten eggs, ac-
cumulated during the whole year,
were thrown by 1000 partisans of
Austen Chamberlain, G. K. Chester
ton and Sidney Webb. Besides the
eggs, decayed fruit and bad vege-
tables and -four were hurled about
Many free-for-all fights occurred and
some of the victims were treated in
the hospitals.
Chamberlain, the Tory candidate,
won the election with 1,642 votes
against 968 for the Liberal Chester
ton, who was supported by the ora
torical poets and novelists during the
canvass. The Labor candidate, Webb,
was bad third, with 285 votes. The
goods fought, too, but their battle was
staged elsewhere to avoid the missiles.

Eight Years For
t.I,ifers" Not Enough,

EX.-Gov. Harry l.. Davis of Ohio in
recent magazine article tells Of bis
trials and tribulations in the difficn1+
office of state executive of a huge
commonwealth. Pressure of all kinds
is brought upon governor to pardon
malefactors. Frequently the means
are successful.
The case of George Losteiner is
cited. Losteiner had a long record If
crime but was in the pen only once
in 1916. Getting out he committed two
murders and participated in robberies
totalling 100000. He was conyicted
and "sent up for life Since then
large funds have been raised by Los
teiner's underworld friends to get him
out. They are sworn to do this hut
to date their efforts have been unsuc~
cessful.
Gov. Davis says the average time
for "a lifer" in Ohio is only eight
years, which, by the way, is the aver
age time for all the states. 1t is not
enough.

SEES MOVIES AND
SAYS MURDER is
NO CRIME IN u. S.

LONDON" America is a place
where you can shoot as many people
as you like without getting into trou-
ble,' wrote an English schoolboy who
had obtained all his impressions of
the United States from American
films, according to DR.. Joseph Bridges,
education officer for Willesden, speak
ing at film luncheon here.
DR.. Bridges said his criticism of
motion pictures from the viewpoint of
the student was their American set
ting. Even the school was depicted on
the films as a place into which people
rushed to murder the school mistress.
T. G. Elder, managing director of
Stoll Film Studios, said films from
which millions of eastern people are
getting their first Impressions of Eu-
ropean civilization were mostly Amer
lean, in which the Englishman is in
variably depicted as cad, crook, or
a coward.

Dry Chief Hints Armed
Forces May Be Called

WASHINGTON D. C.-Use of the
armed forces of the United States to
enforce prohibition if the time comes
when the criminal element, backed by
the liquor crowd, cannot be handled
by the civil authorities, was predicted
by Wayne E. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti-Saloon League of Am
erica.
Mr. Wheeler made his prediction in
a written statement issued Immediate
ly after he left the White House,
where he conferred with President
Coolidge.
"The civil power should be ade-
quate to meet every condition" Mr..
Wheeler stated. But if the criminal
element, now boldly encouraged by
the liquor crowd to violate the law,
cannot be handled by the civil author
tiles, no one can doubt the example of
George Washington in calling out the
army to deal with the whisky rebel
lion of 1898 will be followed by what
ever President occupies the White
House."

Machines Do Not

Let us not make the mistake of as
Stunning that because we own radios,
prayer pianos, talking machines, mo-
Tor cars and SO on, ride on airships
ana ocean liners and live in comfort
able homes surrounded by books, pic
lures, good furniture and other refine
ments that we are better human beings
IMAM our ancestors. 1t may exactly
the reverse.
Inc older, more arduous periods
produced great types. The environ
ment, harsh as it may have been, stiff
tened character as well as body. 1t
brought forth great art and great abiI-
ity.
The evil this age has to fight is not
hardship, not poverty 1t is material
Ism, the worship of money. And this
can be and is more corrosive to the
soul of man than any other thing.
A highly developed machine age
makes life pleasanter and easier.
There is no proof that it makes an in
dly1dual any better, finer or more able
In fact the direct proof seems to lie
quite the other way

England'S
Troubles.

Lloyd George, in a recent statement,
points out that England pays billion
and half dollars a year for drink and
has a million and a half men on the
dole, or government unemployment in
surance. The inference plainly is that
money spent for drink would provide
each man on the dole with thousand
dollars a year and remove the burden
from the backs of those who bear 1t.
This is all very well only it would
MT work out that way.
In the first place the figures are
misleading John Bull receives two
thirds of every dollar spent for drink.
He collects it as tax and you bet he
collects it. A bottle of whiskey costs
the consumer three dollars. The gov
eminent gets two dollars. The distil-
Ter, distributor and saloon man must
be content with a profit out of their
one-third of the split Even with liz
uor relatively high there is little IL
licit distilling. A bootlegger gets two
years in Jail and a $4,000 fine. Few
bootleggers.
And another thing-one would be
foolish to assume that one-th1rd or the
billion and a half now spent for drink
would be returned to industry If pro-
hibition obtained. Some of it would
be. A good deal of it would go other
ways. No one would voluntarily turn
his spending money over to the gov
eminent to relieve even so important
an evil as unemployment.
AS we see it the trouble with Eng
land is overcrowding and nothing else.
Put 100000 people instead of 10000 in
to Grant county and we would have
the proportional square mile ratio OF
population which pertains in England.
The remarkable thing, therefore, is not
the English lower standard of living
as compared to us but they are able
to live at ALL Here the same density
of people would result in sweeping
starvation in short order.
Take ten million English out of

ness man but the shopkeeper, the
clerk and laborer in America today
appear more prosperous than ever be-
fore, according to Sir Robert Horne,
who sailed Saturday for England. Sir
Robert was formerly chancellor of the

II have visited this country several

general prosperity which is quite OBJ
