 That greyhound racing has be- come dangerous nuisance:
 That the modern girl is showing too much Of her ''bony" knees in her feverish excitement to keep up with the times;
 That fishing is not what it was in his younger days; and
 That bathers are too careless and each should have a rope tied around his waist before entering the water.

 You see, we are not selfish.
 l Good Butter men will ap- preciate, we are sure, this little boost that we are giv- ing their product, but we hope at the same time that all of them will be as con- scientious and as earnest about serving grocers with Quality Butter as we are in serving them with Quality Bread.
 And are we not putting a practical thought in your mind to be always sure to use good butter with good bread?
 And are we not doing the fair thing by the grocers who are always so loyal to us in the distribution of our Quality Bread?
 We believe that every grocer, consistently selling good bread and good butter is well on his way toward establishing a fine reputa- tion in his community as a reliable business man, al- ways looking after the best interests of the public.

canal and Hudson River. He said
the canal never would be a pay
ing proposition until it became
part of such a waterway.
The governor reiterated his Oft
expressed views on prohibition. He
declared the legislature of 1919 made
grave mistake when it ratified
the prohibition amendment without
first submitting it to vote OF the
people OF the State. He said:
As to Prohibition
"The great mistake of the legis-
lature of 1919 in failing to submit
this question to popular refer
endum is the direct cause of the I'M
rest, uneasiness and dissatisfaction
apparent In a large portion of the
State 1t has gone further and been
the prime cause of creating a dis
respect for the law among citizens
who give the limit of obedience to
every other regulatory statute ever
enacted in the State or Nation"
Defending the right of persons or
organizatio to oppose the prohibit
ton amendment, the governor said.
THE theory of Democratic consti-
tutionaI government having for its
liberties of the people cannot permit
intolerance to the point where one
group denies or attempts TO deny TO
the other the right of freedom OF
speech and freedom of expression"
Looks to Capital
The governor had this to say about
State enforcement of prohibitions:
Under our form of government,
and guided by the Supreme Court Of
the United States, the question of
the Eighteenth Amendment and the
sustaining legislation is removed
from the States and is focused upon
the national legislation at Washing
ton. Gradually our people are begin
ming to realize that there, and only
there, can any change in the present
status be made"
