The sending of neckwear and 9th

abuses of the mailing privileges tina

Fairweather, of Greensboro, N. C
received package of this kind an
if people who are trying to destro,

for goods would follow his example
they would be doing their communit,

The sale of neckwear and othe1

magazine carried a story of con
Germ only two years old that is sell
ing million dollars worth of neck
wear annually by using Uncle Sam
as selling agent. Reports from
correspondents state that this form
of merchandising is on the increase
in many states.
From Greensboro, North Carolina,
comes-a story of snappy comeback,

Greensboro and several hundred 9TH

Col. Fairbrother opened the pack

Waving the question as to whe-

your part to send a man four neck

them, will say that they are here in

The Scent stamp is also here and
you can have it if you come per-

Mr.. DarrOW to
the Rescue Again

Declaring that the worlds greatest
art, literature and works of genius
have been proudced by the inspiration
of drink, Clarence barrow asked in a
recent anti-prohibition argument in
New York, "What kind of a poem do
you suppose you would get out of
glass of ice water?"
We don't know, but we know the
kind you can get out of glass of
hooch, and if Mr.. barrow has read
the ballads of Monsieur Villon, poet,
homicide and thief, he knows the one
we mean.
But does Mr.. barrow seriously Of
fer as an argument against prohibi-
ton a statement that has had no sup
port, we believe, since the time when,
century ago, Lord Macaulay's
aspiring apothecary's clerks used to
turn down their shirt collars, rumple
their hair and drink hook and soda at
5 o'clock in the morning to catch the
Byronic inspiration
Byron wrote some good poetry and
great deal that was bad; he had
high gifts, but only school boy mis-
led by foolish legend and the more
foolish Byron pose could ever suppose
Byron was poet because he was
drunkard. He was poet in spite of
being drunkard, and he would have
been a greater poet if he had not sot-
ted himself to death at Sc.
What, we wonder, had Wordsworth
been drinking when he wrote his '4In-
timations of Immortality" If Mr..
barrow is right, and assuming this
ode to be literature, Wordsworth's
hand cropping for the bottle poured
another drink before producing these
lines:
Our birth is but sleep and a for
getting;
The soul that rises with US, our
life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar.
A thought clearly alcoholic. That
is evident as the ode proceeds. "Hic'
