OBERCO, ORGANIC, MINERAL
COMBINATION FOR FEEDERS
AND MIXERS!!!

This new product of G. Ober &
Sons Co., is purely a mineral COM
bination and does not contain Pro-
tein. It has been shown that GER
tain quantities of organic minerals
are necessary to maintain healthy
cattle and fowls, if heavy milk and
egg production is to be expected of
them. This mineral mixture helps
to replace in their bodies, what the
strain of heavy production depletes.
1t is also very good for hogs and
all young and growing stock. This
product is not expensive and should
be used by all mixers and feeders.
1t is for sale, straight or in mashes,

DRY AMENDMENT WILL STAY

There is a surprisingly large vote against the
Eighteenth Amendment in current newspaper polls
This leads some ardent ants look for the actual re-
peal of the dry amendment.
1t might just as we'll be understood that such
hopes futile. Whatever may happen to the VOL
stead Act there is very little prospect of abolshng
the prohibition principle placed in the Constitution
within any period interesting the present generation
Many voters and disputants oddly to over
look the fundamental difference between the dry
amendment and the dry enforcement law. The latter
may be repealed modified by Congress at pleasure,
y ordinary procedure and ma jority of the Sem
ate and House. The former can be repealed or mod-
~ fled only by the process which placed the amend
s.ment in the Constitution.
Thus to abolish the dry amendment would require
a two-thirds vote by the House and Senate, submls
sion the and approval by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states.
Most of the states frankly dry before the
amendment adopted. 1t is likely that most of
them especially those in the West and South still have
dry ajortes. Only Is dry states needed to block
repeal of the amendment. Anyone who thinks 80
states are ready to vote wet doesn't know the United
States.
Modification of the Vostead Act is something
else. We may it modified in the near future. But
