"The liquor element boasts that it has billions of dollars with which to defeat Prohibition; that If it cannot break It down In the courts it w?ll make prohibition no offensive and the laxity in enforcement so notorious that the people will demand h return to the legalized suloon. Hardest Fight Ahead. "Advised. by able .counsel, led by Kllhu Hoot, they hope to make condi tions so Intolerable and the violations so flagrant tluit tho people of the country will become dlngiisted with the situation and will prefer liquor sold openly by leg.il action to tho un licensed reign of the 'blind tiger' and the 'bootlegger.' ? "No thlnktiiK man can doubt that Prohibition right now has Its hardest fight ahead of it. We have legislated the saloon out of business, but It is making h determined fight to come back. The liquor forces, driven to the last ditch, ?rp making the hardest fight of their Uvea. Renewed at tacks now are belna made in the courts to nullify the Prohibition laws "While these legal moves doubtlese will be checkmated by the able coun sel representing the drys, it cannot be done without gioit nxpen.se. ' If we ? re lo nee the work of years upheld and viudicatod we must provide the funds with which to bring it about.

"This campaign does not propose to Interfere with individuals; it It wag ing no war on tobacco; It la driving only toward saforcement of tho law already on tho statute book* and the enactment of other* that max be necessary to reinforce them. "J(t Is Intended primarily as" a cam* palgn of education. Literature to counteract the propaganda of the wets Is being disseminated, meetings will be bold aad dry candidates will be supported against those of the wets for every political office from presi dent downward. "Officers charged with enforcement of the ProhlbijUon laws will be an* couraged and upheld so long as they do their full duty and those who are lax will be vigorously opposed at the polls,UL-~? "In addition to the great work of law enforcement and combatting the liquor propaganda in this dountry there Is the greater task of carrying the war on liquor traffic into other countries. World Dry By 1930. "World Prohibition by 1990 Is the aim of the dry forces. "Routed from America, many of the distillers and brewers are planning to resume their business in China and other countries where the liquor traf fic still holdo sway. Already liquof runners are preparing to bring liqqor intv, this country by airplane from Cuba. Mexico and the West Indies. "Ah these countries and those of Europe nnd Central and South Amer Ira are calling to us for aid. We must nee that they aro not disappointed. They see what we have accomplished here and they are looking to us to allow them the way. "To successfully combat the effort* of the liquor interest at home, to heed the call for help from China and the other countries where the liquor In tercuts are seklng to become Intrench ed and also to carry Prohibition to the entire world by the time sot?1930? will require a large expenditure of funds. ' Necessity Is Obvious. 4*. "D. J. Gantt, . recently" placed In charge of Prohibition enforcement in the South, declares the government appropriation for this purpose for 1920 is woefully insufficient and that it will be Impossible for the federal gov ernment to take over all th* respon sibtlity; ~ "There Is no doubt that this cam paign for funds, with Its purposes clearly understood and the pressing necessity for its succees obvious, will receive the active support of a largo percentage of the people of the South. "It vitally concerns the buttings man from whosf employees the temp tation or strong drink has been re moved, nd It also vitally concerns the mothers of this country, whoso sons, now growing to manhood, will never know tlie debasing influence of the saloon."

Next time you ure Inclined to believe thai high prices Imve been mil by Ibt pow ers above to vex thin day and genera tiou iilon.', Just ponder upon thcst words written by John IT. Watson of New York city in 18-13, under the head log "Changes of Prices," in a bbok of hi* published In 1847: "It Is curious to observe the oluuige* which have occurred in the COUTsg of years, both lu the supply of common articles sold la the markets and In some cases In the great augmentation of prices?for instance. Mr. Brow* r, who has beeu quite a cbroulcle to iue, has told ine such facts as the follow ing, viz.: "He remembered well wlieu abund ance of the largest Qlue Point oysters could be bought, opened to your hand, for 2s a 100 such as would now bring from three to four dollars. Best sou bass were but 2d a pound, now at 8d. Sheephead sold at Od to Is 8d apiece, and will now bring $2. Rock flsli were plenty at one shilling apiece for good ones. Shad 8d apiece. They did not then practice the planting of oysters. Lobsters were not then brought to market. "Mr. Jacob Tabelee, who Is as old as 87, and of courso s$w earlier times than the other, has. T01d me a sheep head used to be sold at Od, and the best oysters' at Is a 100. In fact they did not stop to count them, but gave them in that proportion snd rate by the bushel; Rock fish at 3d a pouhd. Butter 8d to 9d. Beef by the quarter to winter 3d a pound, by the pl$ce 4d. Fowls about Od apiece. Wild fowls in great abundance. He has bought twenty pigeons in their season for one shilling; a goose was 2s. Oak wood was abundant at 2s the load. * Thus Mr. Watson of the early nine teenth century thinks longingly, of how easy it must hpve been to live when Brother Tabelee was young. He con tinues : ? "In 1763 the market price Of provi sions was established by law and pub* llshed In the Garette. Wondrous cheap they were, via: A cock turkey 4s, a hen turkey 2s Od, a duck Is, a quail l%d, a heath hen Is 8d, a teal Od, wild goose 2s, a brant Is 3d, snipe Id, oysters 2s a bushel, sheephead and sea bass three coppers per pound, milk per quart 4 coppers, clams Od a 100, cheese 4^d. ?Those celebrattnl 'Blue Points' were destroyed by an intended kind ness. A law was passed to exempt them from continual use, and by not being continually fished up they got embedded In the mud and wholly died out!" Mother's Gratitude. Somewhere in America there Is a nurse from overseas who wears a short strand of small, round pink beads. She calls It her "Croix de Guerre." Just before Chateau-Thler ry, when the refugees were pouring out of eastern France, a youug girl with big, dark eyes came with a sick baby to one of the hospitals behind the lines. During the first few weeks at the hospital the bnby whimpered, and wailed constantly, but with the nurse's unr&hlttlng care It gradually grew well and strong. The day the little mother was leav ing she sought out, the nurse whose untiring patience and kindness bad meant the return of her baby's health. .""This, mo'm*setle,M she satd, holding a string of pink beads In her out stretched hand, "I want you to have It; It Is the only thing I have left be* sides my baby, and you have saved him for me." "Just a tiny happening In the big story of the world war," says the Modern Hospital in relating the Inci dent, "but one which will long liva In the memory of the nurse whom It so closely touched."
