effect, YOU were mean to drag us
out just when we were having Il
good time. Why couldn't you have
waited until we got tired and were
ready to go anyhow? Also, let's do
it by education because that will
take longer and put off the evil days
Of sinlessness until after we, person

Again, some are against liquor
but not against gambling. Others
are against bawdy houses, but weak
on liquor and gambling enforcement.
SO when we attempted to strictly
enforce all the vice laws, we were
bound to ALLEVIATE most of the popu-
lation and leave practically no
hackers.
Vice will never be conquered en-
tirley, I grant, but if we do not Keep
fighting it all the time it will spread
rapidly, finally get out of control
and do to us, as a race, unmeasur-
able harm.
Kept on Hammering
So we kept everlastingly at it
hammering and hammering, driving
and driving, and raiding and raiding
We soon discovered that our work
was effective by the measures that
saloon keepers and owners of speak
easies took to prevent raids and
seizures.
When we first started, all saloons
and such places kept their liquor
under the bar or in a closet. 1t was
merely hidden fl ON sight. AS our
raiding continued, new methods Of
secreting liquor were discovered.
Our men would go into a saloon
find it filed with DRINKS, and yet be
unable to discover the hiding place
Of the liquor cheer" 1t would take
hours, sometimes, to locate a secret
pipe connection leading to an
upper floor, the basement or even
an adjoining house, where the
liquor was stored Generally saloon
keepers would fix tank deep in the
basement, cement it in, and then
pipe the liquor up to a hidden spigot
secreted in a wall that would not be
revealed until a secret panel was
opened. Sometimes a gas jet would
be converted into a spigot; the leg
Of a table or something else would
be so used. It was difficult TO locate
booze. because Of such devices. Very
little supply was kept n the places,
because every saloon-keeper knew
that he would certainly be raided
and regularly.
Secret Stairways
Gambling houses adopted means
to foil raiders, by delaying their
entrance sufficiently long to permit
the owners. managers and frequent
ers to escape by secret exits. Secret
stairways were built in, hidden door.
ways were constructed, huge iron
gates were installed and other plans,
many Of them rather ingenious,
We're discovered.
Breweries, too. In one place, later
padlocked through our raiding, 1t
was faNnd that an entire wall, be.
tween the brewery warehouse and
adjoining garage. had been taken
out, rebuilt and so arranged that, at
the press Of a button, it would move
out OF the way to permit a truck
laden with been to pass out from the
brewery premises into the garage
and, through another passage, to a
street a block away from the
brewery entrance.

CAPTAIN BLOOD.

captain BLOOD" is the most
popular Of all of Rafael Sabatini's ro-
mances. Eleven editions. more than
300, 900 copies have been sold in less than
two years, and the story has been read
by more than TO- 600, 600 subscribers to
newspapers which have published the
story in serial form.
DIR. FRANK CRANE, one of the
most widely read and quoted writer's of
the day paid Sabatini's Captain Blood"
a wonderful tribute in a recent editorial.
Among other things he said:-
When a man recommends anything
he likes to lis friends, he is in danger
of being a nuisance, whether the parti-
cular thing is a kind of smoking tobac-
CO, a necktie, a brand of religion or a
new book. At the same time, when
one strikes something which pleases
him immensely, it does no. seem to be
quite fair to keep it to himself. To
come across a book that takes one ty
storm, holds him, fascinates him ard
gives him that rare intoxication that
meets the inmost passion, is an event.

The disorder of fowls known as
"crop bound" or impacted crop is an
overdistended and paralyzed condi-
ton of the crop, generally caused by
overeating or by swallowing coarse
and indigestible substances, such as
feathers or tough vegetation. The
first symptom is loss of appetite or
an effort of the bird to swallow with
out being able to do so. If permitted
to continue, the conditions become
aggrevagated, the breathing difficult,
and death may result.
The contents of the crop, which are
more or less firmly packed, may
sometimes be removed by forcing the
bird to swallow a teaspoon or more
of sweet oil, then massaging the low
er part of the gullet if it contains
food, or, if not, the part of the crop
nearest to the gullet, until part Of
the contents is softened and may be
pressed toward the head. This is
made easier by holding the birds
head downward. By continued ma
nipulation the greater part of the ma
terial may be removed. The bird
should not be permitted to eat for
several hours after it is relieved.
If this treatment fails, with
sharp knife make an opening in the
crop not more than one inch in
length. Thru this opening remove the
contents, using for this purpose a
coffeespoon, a buttonhook, small for
ceps, bent wire, or other suitable,
instrument. Then wash out the crop
with clean, warm water. Close the
opening with or A stitches in the
wall of the crop and an equal number
In the skin. Tie each stitch separate
ly. Coarse white silk thread is best
for the purpose. If this is not at
hand, ordinary white cotton thread
may be used. For day or two feed
or milk and raw egg beaten together
and gradually change to soft mash.

There is considerable talk about
Dempsey's staging comeback. An
impression seems to prevail that on
the night he met Tunney he was in a
sort of mental haze.
Just why this was SO, it is not ex-
planned. There were those however,
before the fight who predicted the
champion would miss the guiding
mind of Kearns his former manager,
when Tunney stepped into the ring
and Kerns has always claimed, he
taught Dempsey all he knew and
guided him in all his fights. Dempsey
saddle could not "get going" and
perhaps it was because he had no one
to tell him where to go.
It is quite likely Dempsey will be-
gin once more near the bottom, and
may work himself bach to champ
ionship form under a grinding hand
similar to that of Kearns, or, per-
haps, of Kearns himself.

AGRICULTURE

A record short crop of tomatoes
the shortest since 1921-is being har-
vested this season on Maryland's
Eastern Shore. The area set out for
canning is estimated at $4,000 acres,
say IS per cent of the 1925 area, while
yields are. reported ranging from one
to a little over tons per acre, vary
perhaps 21s tons. Gamers estimates
of the pack this year range variously
from 100000 cases IS, to 1925, 900,
with the majority opinion favoring a.
bout 100000 cases.
On August 18th stands were for
the most part good, and some grow
.crs said they left little to be desired.
But heavy rains set in on that date
over period lasting the better part
of two weeks. The vines were pros
trated, the blossoms mostly washed
off, and the fruit in numerous fields
began to rot on the ground. Hot sun
shine followed for a while and scald-
ing ensued. At the close of Septem-
Der there is very little fruit, green or
otherwise, to be found on the vines.
Growers say that even with favorable
weather during October the vines can
not stage a comeback" because there
is nothing to come back on the vines.
High prices prevailing for raw
stock, ranging from 40 to 70 cts. per
5-8 bushel basket, IS to 60 cents be-
ing the most usual price ;and Gamers
say that tomatoes are difficult to get
at those prices. Growers can be seen
working over their picked fields in an
endeavor to gather the last available
tomato, so as to take advantage of the
high prices offering.

Government price-fixing seems to
be success in non-competitive indus
tries, such as railway transportation,
electricity, gas, telephone, etc.; but in
a highly competitive industry like ag-
'ricuiture, professor of rural eco
nomics in large Eastern university
says there are two fatal objections to
it: First, it will not work; second, it
is always done for the consumer as
against the producer. He says:
Government price-fxing for agri-
cultural products would work, if at
the same time the government regu-
lated wages, profits ,middlemen's
margins, production of all commodi-
ties and rationing Of all consumers. In
short, if the population We're enlisted
in one vast army, directed and ra-
toned, price-fixing would work, but
otherwise not. If the price is fixed
on the wheat the farmer sells, then
he cannot keep on producing wheat
it wages or the cost of harvesting
machinery rise, or if the cost of other
material he buys rises. So the next
step would be the fixation of other
prices and yet other prices.
"The United States government fix
ed the price of wheat but once, and
then it was to benefit consumers, not
producers. The government might, in
an emergency, fix some agricultural
prices for the purpose of elevating
such prices. Such action would inevi-
tably and speedily lead to outcry from
city consumers.
"The farmer who favors any form
of governmental price-fixing is work.
ing against his own interests. He is
putting his head into a noose."
