Peoples Voice

Editor Times'-"After Prohibition,
What?"
This is the subject Of an editorial
in your paper of April Is, 1881. The
editorial does not answer the ques-
ton. The question implies that pro-
hibition will come to an end. OF
course it is assumed that this means
the prohibition law, for in reality
there has been no prohibition.
While the implication may be
questioned, let us say, for the sake
of answering the question, that the
law will be repealed and that the
eighteenth constitutional amend
ment is null and void.
Since there could be no restrain
ing influence in such annulment, 1t
can be stated definitely and truth
fully that after prohibition there
will be a period of great rejoicing
and revelry on the part of soeiety's
Sewer" and the wickedness which
now, wrongfully, is attributed to the
prohibition law will increase in its
vilenesS until it has reached the
point where the dormant power
within the people will awake, arise,
and perform the acts necessary to
redeem and reasSure our liberty and
freedom which are now being
pressed.
Therefore, after prohibition, If
things are permitted to drift along
as they are now, there will be per-
iod leading to intolerance and then
MORE PROHIBITION and BET
TER ENFORCEMENT.
But it may not be necessary to
experience such period Of rampant
violence and if you are interested
in a dissertation Of the principles
Of TRUTH as applied to the present
prohibition middle, I will send you
a copy for your perusal. They may
be helpful.

Reduction Only Remedy

THE farm board, while denying
Il any intention of dumping it's
wheat, takes occasion to remind
farmers that it will not buy anv
more this year. That also is an
other way of saying that they must
look out for themselves. and that.
If they won't reduce on their own
initiative, wheat prices are likely to
be low.
No matter who speaks on this
subject, crop reduction appears to
be the one and only remedy.
That's fine for people who don't
depend on crops, but it is not so
fine for farmer who barely can
make living out of what he raises
on 160 acres and who is politely in
formed that it should be cut to 100.
All things considered, reduction
OF acreage means nothing but the
reduction of farmers. With six or
seven million people unemployed in
our cities, what are we going to do
with these farmers driven off the
land?

That Greenwich Village which is

Children, as I understand it, gen.
orally are born with an aperture
at the top of the skull or at least a
soft place through which ideas may
filter. But in time the bony struc-
tUlre there solidif1es and becomes an
alright container.
So it should be with mental and
spiritual development. The mind
that is forever open comes at last
to rust and decay.
You can't leave your ideas out
doors in all sorts of weather like
castiron deer. Sooner Or later, for
good or i'll, each one Of us should
come to slogans and snug harbors.
I value very little the person who
goes through his span without even
tually reaching something he can
be for. But this allegiance is Of
little worth unless it comes after a
long life Of inquiry and questioning.

BATTLE OF ARRAS
April %

I'M April %, 1917, the Battle Of
~ Arras, which was begun on
April 9, entered its second phase.
On this day English, Welsh, and
Scottish troops made fresh assaults
upon the German line east of Arras.
The Germans were prepared to meet
the attack and had intrenched
themselves firmly with new bat
terieS and machine guns
German snipers had been placed
all about in shell holes, with or
ders to pick off the British officers
and men as soon as the attack
started.
After stubborn resistance by the
enemy, the allied force made some
progress. As Philip Gibbs, war cor
respondent on the scene, described
it:
ut was only to be expected that
this second phase of the Battle of
Arras should be extremely hard.
For the British it is battle to the
death.
Fighting is in progress at all
points attained by the troops, and
there is the ebb and flow of men
beaten back for a while by the in
tensity Of the fire, but attacking
again and getting forward"

Among other reasons for putting

We are running hundreds Of

The theory is that most of them
have been chastened to such extent
as to resume their places in society,
and society is being reminded con-
stantly of its obligation to rein
state them.
Intelligence suggests that society
has no other course, that it must
give these people chance, that the
theory of reformation is meaning
less, unless it does.

its share, how can ordinary people

DEFORE the Royal Society of
Id Medicine, Captain Martin Flack
of the British Air Forces recently
compared airSickness and seasick-
ness.
These conditions have certain
common factors. In both cases
there seems to be some relationship
to the mechanism of the internal
ear, some disturbance in the rela-
tionship of sensation in the eyes,
the internal ear and the muscle,
some effects due to stuffy atmos-
phere, smells and lack of adequate
ventilation, some disturbance due
to apprehension or nervousness, and
some response because of the gen
eral lack of tone Of abdominal
muscles of the individual affected.
AirsickneSs still is so recent a
complaint that adequate studies of
the condition have not been made.
Thus no statistics are available as
to the number Of sick passengers
arriving at various airports, or peo-
pie travelling under more or less the
same air conditions in different
types of machines.

The North Atlantic

IRON a consideration Of mineral
L distribution, Professor Ieith
comes to the conclusion that there is
little possibility of the industrial SUI
premacy of the United States and
western Europe being challenged
seriously by the rise of some of the
nations of the earth, which now are
induStrially backward.
Countries bordering the north
Atlantic, particularly the United
States and western Europe, are the
fortunate possessors of essential
minerals in amounts and combina-
tons necessary for industrial
strength" he writes.
"Other parts of the world, not
withstanding popular beliefs to the
contrary, are not so fortunate. Their
mineral industries must continue to
be subordinate or tributary to those
Of the north Atlantic countries.
'The thrust Of exploitation Of
world minerals has emanated from
the north Atlantic, and will con-
tinue to do so. Against this thrust,
other regions are mainly in a de-
fensive position.
Great commercial units of north
Atlantic countries, some of them of
international scope, have acquired
control Of vast sections of the min
eral industry and have come into
conflict with other units similarly
engaged.
Several minerals have become
commercially monopolized and 9TH
ers are well on their way toward this
stage"

civilizations with a vast amount of
detailed information. His book is

GARDEN SOIL

The new home owner, preparing for
the first time to make a garden on his
new property, may be pretty much dis
couraged at the prospect. The soil in
this general locality is apt to be a heavy
reddish yellow clay and outwardly not
very promising. Right at the start it
may be said that remarkable changes
can be wrought in the texture, color
and producing capacity Of just such
soils in very few seasons II manure
is available. it is the best material for
modifying the soil Not fresh, strawy
manure but we'll rotted material that
has partly broken down. With enough
manure, the soil may be brought into
fine garden condition in one or two
seasons.
In the absence Of manure, it becomes
necessary to fall back on green manures,
that Is, plants grown for turning under,
such as oats, cowpeas, crimson clover
and Winter rye and on commercial
fertilizer. The fertilizer promotes q
strong growth Of cover crops which,
when buried in the soil, takes the place
of animal manures to a certain extent.

NEW VEGETABLES

The following item released by the
press service of the Department of
Agriculture may not have direct in
terest to the home gardener, but is
Of interest in showing to what extent
our list of edible plants might be en-
larged If necessity demanded:
Alfalfa shoots are tasty as green's
and make cheap and welcome addi-
ton to the diet in early Spring, the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture says. They are particularly APP
petizing when cooked with a trace Of
oil or butter, or a piece of fat meat,
bacon rind or ham bone. All greens
should be cooked no longer than neces-
sary to make them tender. This Spring,
especially, many persons will be looking
for opportunities to increase their food
supplies.
Wv. r. Beattie, extension horticul-
turist OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture, points out that in addi-
ton to alfalfa many wild plants,
sprouting at the first sign Of Spring,
will provide excellent fare. Vacant
fields, roadsides, thin woods and barn
yards will soon be dotted with poke
weed. lambs quarter, wild mustard,
dandelions, shepherds purse and horse
radish. Field cresS or bitter creSs is
almost as common in old fields and
close to stream banks, watercress is
plantiful in spring branches and the
marsh marigold or cowslip in sWarnpy
places in the Northern States. In the
North Central States it is a common
practice to make pot herbs of the early
leaves Of sour dock and the early shoots
OF hops and common nettle. The young,
tender shoots of burdock are sometimes
used as salad served raw with salad
dressing. Some of these plants lend
themselves well to mixtures. Water
cress fltS in almost any combination.
Onions may be forced in a warm
