PRESIDENT COLLEGE ON
PROHIBITION

Under the orderly processes OF
our fundamental institutions the
Constitution was lately amended
providing for national prohibition.
The Congress passed an act for its
enforcement, and similar acts have
been provided by most of the States
It is the law of the land. 1t is the
duty of all who come under its
jurisdiction to observe the spirit OF
that law, and it is the duty OF the
Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department to enforce it.
Action to prevent smuggling, illegal
transportation in interstate com,
merce, abuse in the use of permits,
and existence of sources of supply
for illegal traffic is almost entirely
imposed upon the Federal govern
ment. Through treaties with foreign
governments and increased activities
of the coast guard, revenue agents,
district attorneys, and enforcement
agents effort is being made to pre-
vent these violations. But the Con-
stitution also puts concurrent duty
on the States. We need their active
and energetic cooperation, the
vigilant action of their police, and
the jurisdiction of their courts to as
sist in enforcement. l request of
the people observance, of the public
officers continuing efforts for en-
forcement, and Of the Congress
favorable action on the budget rec
ommendation for the continuance OF
this work.

milk, food experts say, is the most

the problem by inventing evaporated

the richness of ordinary market milk.
many housewives dilute 1t half and
half with water for cooking purposes.
Keeping longer than ordinary milk,
there is no waste from souring. Then,
too, 1t is cheaper.
Savings also can be made on meat.

cost more. The shoulder, breast and

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
BANS TIP SHEETS

1t is reported that the Post Office
Department has taken action to ban
from the mails the operations OF
more than six hundred men selling
tips on the races. The Department
is to be commended. These tip
sheets are not only worthless but
constitute a direct incitment to
gambling and react unfavorably
upon the social safety.
In 1918 there were only LIZ tracks
in operation for fiat racing in North
America. About AS such tracks
are now in use in the United States
and five new tracks are being built.
1t is- conservative estimate that
$500, 100000 annually is being bet
on the races Handbooks number
hundred in single cities and their
operations directly result in de-
falcations, embezzlements, suicides
and broken homes. Mr.. H. N.
Pringle, who has made~a special
study Of the subject, has compiled a
list of hundreds of highway rob-
berries, assertions, divorces, en-
bezzlements, forgeries, larcenies and
murders, indisputably attributable to
race track betting. In the city OF
New York alone tip sheets are sold
at $4,000 news stands. In Wash
ington, the posted race reports are
studied by throngs OF young men.
One advertisement of tipster reads
'.Parlez all you can beg, borrow or
steal on these two winners" Their
worthless advice is sold at prices
ranging from soc to $1,000 and at
least one brings price of $500.
Over the long route their customers
never win.
Business interests in Cleveland
and other cities have been aroused
to the necessity of taking measures
to protect the banks and cash tills
of their cities by action against the
handbooks. Public spirited news
papers in various communities are
giving their support to exposures
of the rottenness and fraud of race
gambling.
Legislation was proposed several
years ago to bar from the mails all
race gambling odds and information.
It received the approval OF scores of
police officials in all parts of the
United States. Unfortunately, it
was opposed by reputable newspaper
men who seemed to think that it
would tend to make more perilous
the already uncertain business, OF
running a newspaper and its spon-
sors were not willing to push it in
the face of opposition honestly Of
fered. In view of the present situa-
ton, is it not now time to re-
examine this legislation in order to
see if it's good social purpose can not
be realized without menace to the
legitimate business OF gathering and
publishing news ?

NEW PRESIDENT OF FARM
BUREAU

Maryland farmers, particularly
those who are Farm Bureau MEM
bers, will be interested in knowing
something about Sam H. Thompson,
Sthe newly elected president OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
who succeeds 0. E. Bradfute.
The December issue OF the Hill
nois Agricultural Association, official
organ of the Illinois Farm Bureau
Federation, gives an interesting ac-
count of the life and work of Presi-
dent Thompson from which the fol-
lowing is gathered.
Sam H. Thompson, recently
elected president of the. American
Farm Bureau Federation, is a pro-
duct of the state of Illinois. He has
come up from the ranks through the
Farm Bureau organization.
He has always been. a leader IN
his community: president of the
Adams County Farm Bureau; ex-
ecutive committeeman of the Illinois
Agricultural Association; chairman
of the legislative and finance com
mittees; president of the Illinois
Agricultural Association; director OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton; a member of its finance com
mittee and today succeeds to the
Office of president of the national
Farm Bureau organization. great
tribute to his sterling qualities and
his fidelity to the various trusts that
have been imposed in him"
Back in 1915 Mr.. Thompson be-
came interested in the Farm Bureau
work and Immediately he became
strong advocate of farmers organ
izing as a means of self protection
and since that time has worked
almost necessarily and indefat1gably
for the full contamination OF this
plan.
e. P. Cohill, former president OF
the Maryland Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, in arecent address, paid this
tribute to Mr.. Thompson: Il have
known Mr.. Thompson for years and
will vouch for his ability and
earnestness. Under his guidance l
believe our organization will go for
ward to even greater triumphs.
sxmmediately after his election, Mr..
Thompson made the following state
ment:
81 hope and trust l can serve
humbly enough so l will always De
close to the folks back home on the
farms. l want to promise you men
and women who represent the states
which make up this great fedora
ton. that from now on my view
s point is primarily a national one.
1t is my duty now, in corporation
with the new board OF directors 10
act in the best interests OF all the
farmers in America"

MUCH SEED CORN FOR 1926
INJURED BY FALL
FREEZES

1t is not likely that there will be
any widespread shortage of seed
corn in the spring of 1926, but it is
extremely likely says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
that many individual farmers and
even some entire communities will
find that the seed corn on which they
had counted will not grow. Tests
already made of many lots of seed
in the. Corn Belt. indicate that tho
terminating power of much OF the
corn was injured by the low tenn
peratures which occurred in Octo
Der before corn had dried out
thoroughly The safe thing to do
says the department, is to find out
now whether or not the seed VIII

planting.
