JOHN BARLEY CORN KNOCKED OUT Tin- United States Supreme Court has been the hope and expectation of the whiskey men ever since the prohibition bill became a law. "It is unconstitutional, it deprh es a man of rirrht to say what he shall drink, it takes the liberty away Irion tin citizen, but the Supreme Court will knock it out and we will be allowed to make and drink whiskey or any other old tiling when we ft el like it." This has been the attitude of the distillers, the brewers and the whiskey dealers, backed by the advice of their lawyers. "Just wait until the biyh court of last resort speaks and then you will see Kinj; Alcohol put back on bis throne." Well, the hi.if court has spoken and has spoken loudly and plainly so that the issue is settled forever. The unanimous decision of the court was to the effect that the enforcement act is the law of the land and must be uoi'yiMi. Seven suits were brought by seven different parties, most of them biir distillers from Kentuoky, Xcw .Jersey, Missouri, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin and all of them were knocked out. One of the l?i<r lawyers from Chicago said when the decision came down: "The fij;ht is lost. The avenue of the courts is now exhausted." SUMMER SCHOOL FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS The University of South Carolina announces the reopening of it Summer School, June 2d to July 27. This school was established in 11)11 to meet the specific needs of 1 i?11 school teachers and teachers of hijrh school subjects in graded schools. This school, during the four res-ions prior to the war, attracted a body of earnest men and women who came for work and did it, and who also have expressed satisfaction in finding courses of study adjusted to their requirements. The aim of the school will continueto hi' tnat of the four piecedinjr sessions, which was stated so well by its former director S'lm. i inti-mli?nt Hand, as follows: "The aim is to give training in the subject in.Hi r which i ;.rli cliooi teachers have to teach, t?? a<l<) to tin teacher's slock of schola. Is ,? in thesi subjects, and to make -e r- study of the high school pupil. No teacher can teach any subject up to the limit of his own knowledge of it, nov can lie teach any subject well mil.I he knows it from the teacher's angle . f i ion and from the pupil's angle of vision. Some high school teacheis fail he cause they are not master.; <>f their subjects; others fail !? -cause lliey do not understand the undclying principles of teaching; still others fail hecau ? they know little or nothing of hoys and girls of the high school aire." The high -chool nas a distinct place and function in the educational scheme of the State, consequently it has distinct problem , the solution of which calls for wide information, careful study, and clear judgment To determine the eojn- and function of the liijrh school, to articulate it with the elementary school and the college, and to adjust it. to the pupil ami society challenge the resource of the liighe-t educational statesman ship. Kvcry high a h ?< 1 principtil must deal with every one of the e question, and every high school teacher must deal with \t lea some of them. The University ummcr school undertakes to a a t the prin cipals and teachers in their tasks. V/HONGLY N A.MF.I) Seeing in an esteemed exchange this headline. "Joan of Arc Dead" decided to read the article by this wise editor, that we might add to our meaner store of knowledge, when a remarkal l<* discovery was made. This "Joan of Arc" was a hen and she had laid 1,004 eggs in her few years of life. Of course she i- dead, dead as Hector. No hen could sai i e such a record. Hut she ought to have heen named MacdufT. In Atlanta the Ogle:-by (Jroccry Company has been fined .<2,000 for violating the Lever act by profiteering in sugar. The firm v/as found guilty on four courts by a jury in the Federal court. New York is the world's biggest city. The last census has the figures round about 8,000,000, while London's latest, census, 1017, gives it only 4,70(5,883. An exchange has an article headed "What the Socialist Want." That's eurny. They want the earth. j 1 LJ|J|i -ffWHM'P'M J w >1 "IJIM The enrolling committees should not fail to insist that every citizen who can write his name at all in any way, (even it be merely scribbled) write it himself. Superintendent .1. A. Knight has addressed a letter to the various enrolling committees of the county to see to this. When the books close Superintendent Swearingen will count the names of those who "make their mark" as illiterates. This is not a fair test, but it is about the only one that can form a basis in calculating the illiterates in any county. Many a man has his name written, when he really could write his own signature, for the reason that he has accustomed himself to writing with a pencil and cannot write as easily with a pen, and many a man nas nau nis name write-?) because he forgot his glasses. It makes no difference what the reason may be; if you do not write your name Superintendent of Education, Swcaringen will count you an illiterate. The selection of Mr. Harding as Republican candidate for President is a most satisfactory one?to the Democrats. Secretary Tumulty, when informed of the selection of Harding as Republican standard bearer, waxed poetical, paraphrased Shakespeare with the remark, "Alas, poor Harding." South Carolina and Georgia are engaged in a legal contest to decide as to the ownership of some islands in the Savannah river. The II. S. Supreme Court has the matter before it and a special commissioner, Mr. Charles Douglass, a Washington attorney, has been appointed to take testimony in the matter. Georgia claims that its boundary goes to low water mark on the east ide of the river. South Carolina holds that her control reaches to the middle of the stream. GERARD DECRIES PLATFORM While Plains, N. V., June !">? speaking before several hundred Westchester County Democratic women in conference here today, James W. Gerard, former \mbassador to Germany, condemned the Republican platform on the League of Nations, terming it a "straddle." Mr. Gerard spoke at length on the need of tht- League usin means of pre venting \va?\ asserting tliat I ho Democratic National Convention should include a plank declaring for it in its iriginal form.

Iiif.i IOWA HAS ICE MINES They Are Located In Caves Nea Dccorah and Edgcwood Many towns in the upper Mississip pi valley dependent for their in on the Winter harvest which tlx northern Mississippi yields are cxpe rieneiiitf acute ice shortage these day: l>ecause of last season's crop failure Not so the two northeastern lowt town of Dccorah aixl Kdtfcwoot i here are three or four places in tlx United States where Winter and Sum iner e;el all mixed up and nature put: up ice in duly and August instead oJ in January. Dccorah, Iowa, and lhx hy's I'arl:, near Edjtwuler, Iowa, art two of them. There are ice mines al both places. Ilisid. the eaves are walls of ice Picnic parties at lJixby's I'ark anj Sunday may be seen freezing ict cream at tlx* mouth of the ice mine The ice has been chopped in chunk: from the cave with an avc whicli i; kept there handy fur the purpose. 1 he Decorah ice cave is much thi larger of the two.

Science has been busy for some tim explaining these iee mines. Kdwin Ss Halch, of Philadelphia, who has nuuf a particular study of them, state that, according; to the theory evolv ed hy invetijrators, the formation o lie caverns is such that the coli air of Winter does not pern Irate am settle in (hem until late in the Spring at the time when the water froi " Spring thaws is seeping through th walls and roof. The water meeting th ' cold air freezes, and days frozen al 1 Summer. The Decorah ice cave remains jus ^ as nature made it, up anions tin heel 1 | lint? rocks of the upper Iowa Kiver a i ' hat point.

On entering th ' j ctivc, it is necessary to use a (lasb ' j light, as the winding pu.^sagt are en M rely cut oil' from the light that en tors the cave opening. There is evi deuce that Indians knew of the ie cave and brought vension to it i Summer. The ice mine at I'ixby's Par was discovered in late years. A mine ran a shaft into the hillside in th ' park, thinking there was lead in th 1 rocks. The lead was not found, bu ' the opening he had blasted in th ' rocks was discovered the followini ' season, after the mine had been aban 1 doneil, to be walled with ice.
