ASKS

abSentmindednesS today caused
Frank Smyer, Ell Centre traffic Of
ficer, to issue a reminder to mo-
torists that the spring has no eff
feet on traffic regulations.
In line with the reminder, Smyer
set forth a group of simple rules,
asking the cooperation of motor
lists in seeing that they are OBJ
served They are:

the block in any business district
at any time.

street in business district at any
time.

MORE ROOSEVELTTSH

NEWS that the White House is furn-
~ ishing luncheons to the members of
the Roosevelt family at a cost of seven
cents per person, will be interesting to
millions of housewives throughout the
country.
Publication of one of the luncheon
menus is of even greater interest.
Stuffed eggs, with tomato sauce,
mashed potatoes, bread, prune pudding
and coffee as luncheon menu certainly
sounds appetizing and filling. It's
added attraction of economy is certainly
to be considered one of its strongest as
sets.
But can anyone tell us where this
Roosevelt influence" is going to end?
Franklin D. seems to have the country
sewed up in his favor through develop
ments of the past two weeks. Now Mrs
Roosevelt seems about to gather in the
housewives of the nation under the
Roosevelt banner Between the two OF
them they are not missing any tricks.
The most alarming thing, from polit-
ical standpoint, is that everyone seems
to like it. From the way Republican ed
itors and leaders have been singing
Rooseveltian praises, it would seem that
if the tomahawk comes it must come
from the Democratic ranks.

ested in humane work, took out
life memberships as their share in

wishes, remain to start the humane
officer in his work

| les. He will come back to the val
ley at any time the local group
feels the need Of his services. This

Oh, Margaret Sanger!
Everything's all right. You may

Your baby Gland has decided to eat

The Gland is the youngest mem

The mother died when the Gland
was born, whereupon the baby
wouldn't eat. After a lot of coax

which really isn't very much for

TEMPERANCE DESIRABLE

C1GN1NG of the Cullen bill today by
- President Roosevelt, assures the sale
of beer and wine of 80 per cent alco-
holic content starting April T.
While rock-ribbed dry adherents see
in the move the beginning of period of
debauchery, the great majority of the
American people can undoubtedly be
trusted to use their new license with
common sense.
The best form of common sense is to
use every means at hand to promote
temperance. Prohibition has failed.
Over a decade of attempting to enforce
it has convinced the nation that it can
not succeed
But temperance can succeed. AT least
it can succeed to greater degree than
prohibition. If people generally will
frown on excessive drinking, and if they
will back up the courts in imposing Sc
we're punishment on those guilty of
drunkenness, it will eventually make the
latter extremely unpopular.
Temperance advocates will find much
support among those who have hereto
fore been classed as vets. Supporting
that standard has never meant that all
those who do so countenance excessive
drinking. On the contrary many are as
strongly opposed to it as is the most
ardent dry.
There is no good reason why the Am
erican people cannot handle wine and
beer as sanely as do the people of other
nations. They can do SC if they will,
and one of the best means to make them
do so is to insist upon temperance.
