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.

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:

ever}' district making a determine<
effort to gather in every possible
subscrption before midnight.
"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

- 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.
If 1 could sell my experiences tha
I've had over here I would not d<
so for money, and I sure would hat
to take all this over again, but if i
needed to be done again, as it wa
needed before, I would do my par
with a will, for no one ever get
tired of doing what is right. I
seemed that every body of the A
E. F. tried to do their part, yet som
were not able to do what they want
ed to do. I'm sure proud of being
member of the A. E. F.
Are you still a member of th
Ked Cross? The Red Cross has sur
been a great benefit to the boysove
here. A Red Cross officer came 01
here at Musson a few days ago, h
brought us eight boys out here,
cartoons of chewing gum, 3 or
cartoons of cigarettes also brougl
one cartoon, (48 cans), of America
peach jam, and lots of magazines 1
read.

Cost Of Raisin? 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.
MEAT PRICES REDUCED
From this date my prices on fresh
beef will be reduced as follows:
Choice steak 35c per pound
Roast beef 30c per pound
Stew beef 25c per pound
Soup meet 10c per pound
