OHIO WORRIED ABOUT PROH1 BITION* LAW Columbus, O., May 19.?Just whi is going to happen to the liqour trai fic in Ohio after May 27 when th prohibition amendment to the stat constitution, adopted last autumi becomes effective, is a problem tha is bothering state and local official; The state faces the situation c having a dry constitution but n statues to enforce it. The Genen Assembly enacted enforcement mea ures but they must run the gauntk of a referendum next November b( fore they can become operative an should the voters disapprove of thei there will be no particular author ty by which to enforce prohibitioi it is said. Anti-Saloon league off cials say they have not given u hope of obtaining some legislatio that will be effective May 27. Most of the saloon keepers ai planning to quit business May 2 and they may have to retire eve before that date. The license yearo saloon keepers expires May 24. Xon has applied for renewal of licens and the time for making applicatio has passed. The Ohio Home Kule Associatior the "wet" organization, is planninj its campaign to defeat the enforce ment bills next November. It has al so started a referendum on the res olution ratifying the national pro hibition amendment, but this is be ing resisted in the courts by the An ti-Saloon League. o Last War Loan Oversubscribed The fifth and last uonular wa loan of the United States has beer oversubscribed. Although the ap proximate total subscription will no be known for a week or more fig ures already available show tha' the American people responded gen erously to the appeal to "finish th< job." Like all of its predecessors, th< Victory Liberty Loan suddenly jumped on the last day of the cam paign above the mark set as it limit. The day brought an avalancht of subscriptions which banks couh could not attempt to count until thi'i week. None of Saturdays's harvesi was included in the total of $3,849, 638,000 subscriptions officially tabu lated by the treasury and official: would not be surprised to see th< final figures to go nearly $6,000, 000,000. Only $4,500,000,000 will b< accepted. Saturday night Secretary Glass is sted this statement. While the of ficial reports to the treasury de partment show only $3,849,633,00( subscribed up to noon on Saturday unofficial advices from the severa districts indicate that without an\ rJoiibt thp Virtorv Libertv Loan i: 4 ? * .

"Thus for the fifth time the country has met the call of the treasury department for the funds requiret and the great Liberty Loan organi zation has once again proved its metle." 1 o - Leter from Belgium Musson, Belgium, April 28, 1919 Dear friend Just a few lines this morning as i sit waiting for my time to come t< take my post as guard which is noi " * * /V - 1, Out one nour irom now; us v v tmi now. Am getting along fine. "We art having some fair weather, som< snow and rain now, although, th< farming class of people seem to b< trying very hard to make anothe: crop this year, and I don't thinl that a good crop would hurt then at all, for you see they have hat four years of, well, what I'd call it <a terrible time. You sure can tell i too by looking at the poor Belgian', here in this little town. "Musson,' is a little war wrecked village witl a very small population. They sun seem to be very kind hearted.

Wheat The average cost of producing wheat in the winter wheat area, including Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was $1,522 in 1918,1 according to averages compiled by the International Farm congress in session in Kansas City from 300 representative farmers. This figure does not include damage from hail, cost of insurance or delivery to grain elevators or mills. The present cost of raising wheat is said to be 50 per cent, higher than before the war. Estimates of agricultural colleges place me cost 01 raising <n prices ranging from $1,565 to $1,913 a bushel for 1918, including cost of hauling to elevators. Mr. Kettering Says:? DELCO-LIGHT is the physical manifestation of a thought. Never cuss a Gasoline Engine. Cuss the Designer. DELCO-LIGHT ran 2000 hours before the first plant was sold. All things are manufactured by man for man's comfort and needs? If men were twice as large as tney are, chairs would be made just double their present size. So long as man is willing to debase his ideals for the dollars he can make, we shall have wars. Commercialism "don't go" in DKLCO-LIGHTING. "Speed" cobnts for nothing, in making a success. If you are on the; wrong road, the faster you go, the i farther you will get from the desir- J ed object. The chief thing is to "get! right"?then "stay right". i We shall go out of business rather, ?- -ii -t ' than design or manuiacmre cueap apparatus. DELCO-LIGHT is practically a "custom-made" plant. It is cut to fit the needs of the Farmer. Ask J. V. CARTER, Lake City for a demonstration.
