There was a time when their Installa?

In the original sense, however, was I
demonstrated recently by one employer

to get down there for a lnte dinner. 1

In the morning what he had rung up.
"For a few days I thought It wns
working fine. He was a good clerk j
and 1 thought he was honest. Then
when 1 got to thinking about It 1 de- j

"Then I decided to try a little !
scheme. Just before I left I rang up
$2.T5 on the register and put nothing

That Is the lumnmry 6f opinions]
regpreased by Ottawa officials as to
the* situation regarding smuggling ol
liquor from Canada to the I'nited
States. F?rther, high officials of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police say
that Whil^ they, are doing in their
power to chock Infractions of the fed- |
eral law? in this respect, it is really]
n?r the American authorites to see
that honor does not. reach the thirsty
souls beyond ihe imaginary line ;5,uou
milei Icftlg.
The situation apparently is that
from three provinces in particular
there is a lar^e trade in boOtlegglng
to the United States. These are Ontar?
io, Quebec Und British Columbia At
the same time a (respectable quantity)
of fiery liquor is finding its way
across from ih< Maritime Province!
and frotn Manitoba.
'At Windsor and in t lie surround
thg districts the Mounted Police are
carrying on a constant campaign j
against the illegal liquor vendors, and
many have been hauled into ,court '
and condemned to pay fines from

tion from "Windsor and district Inti?
mates to the authorities here that
some farmers in that vicinity have
found it more profitable to smuggle
liquor across ihe border than to farm,
ami have let their farms run to weed::

Under these conditions, Canadian po?
lice authorities admit that i: is pra<
llcally impossible to enrorce the

The chief reason for the difficult

cial of the Koyal Canadian Mounted

tion tin tarrying out of all federal

Way back n the golden days?- & I
When 1 was a Child, t
I one time used a bad word. f
My mother heard it. {
i v ;is very, very worry?
She heard it.
She said I ha I blacii c m d
My tongue and lips by
Using the said "bad" word,
And that Bhc would have to
Wa h them with soap and water;
1?
Be got a wash cloth
And lathered it with Some of
Her homemade lye soap.
Bbe 'I'd What she started
Out to do.
i thank <b>d that l had
A mother who was
Woman enough to
Administer this heroic treatment
When shr did?like she did.
I am now an old man:
l .'m being boWed by the weight
or the years,
v11?t oo mj head Father Time
|m sprinkling hi.", snow,
Bui this act of love and
Bcvotlon rematna fresh in memory.
\nd though ahe crossed
'i ;.<? invisible line many,
Many years ago, l feel that
My mother shaped my life.
My conduct, in a large degree,
Ify this one set,
M III.iv be tll.it if
The lye soap treatment
Was more) freely
Administered lodo4 -
The streets of Sumter
Would b<? ;i safer place for
Gentlemen and ladles to walk
And tho atmosphere Ihereof
W ould not be contaminated
By I lo-; senseless, disgusting
