The Curse of Drink in United States
Each minute, day and niRht, there
is spent for drink over f:i,000. (60
minutes X '2 A hours X ;:5 days X
$3,000 1s $ 1 ,576,800,000, the estimate
oi 'The American Grocer," the rec
op n I zed authority, for HMO is $l,5!l!i.
000,000). Each six minutes, day and
nisiht, there is born in the United
S'ates a sweet and innocent boy or
girl who is destined to fill a drunk
aril's grave. (60 minutes divided by
6 is 10 X 24 hours X Nt days Is
87.600, a number less than the best
estimates of deaths directly due to
drink).

Prohibition Helps Business
'Put on one side the license mon
ey; then put on the other side the
cost of crime, the cost of poverty
ami sickness, and the debit side is
ten times greater than the credit
side in any license state in the
Vnton."
A Glimpse Into Kansas' Ledger
Figures may be uninteresting, but
ieii they are studied carefully
are more convincing than general
statements of facts. ('. V. Trick-
ett, special assistant attorney gener
al of Kansas, .said recently in his
address on "OUT Greatest Enemy,"
as reported la the Atchison Church
V alitor: "A saloon is either ft good
thing or a bad thing. If it Ik a
good thing the records of the state
will show it. There are :;,::00,000 in
.Missouri and 1,690.000 in Kansus. If
the saloon has made more money
for Missouri, your cities should show
it in improvements. There are a
number of cities in Missouri of more
than 5,000 Inhabitants without pav
ed streets. I defy anyone to find a
city of 1,500 population in Kansas
wtileh does not have paved streets
and an electric light plant.
"A short, time ago 1 got the rec
ords of Jefferson City and found
that the tax rolls showed the total
assessed property in Missouri is
$1,650,000,000. In Kansas, where we
have had prohibition for thirty
years, the amount is $2,750,000,000.
In. thirty years from the poorest
state in the country, it has come
to be the richest. A few years ago,
during the panic, Kansas banks sent
$50,000,000 to the east, bus Missou
ri did not send a dollar. Kansas
has organized more banks in the
last five years than any other state.
In Missouri there is one motor car
for every 100 fanners, one for ev
ery thirty-five in Iowa, and one for
every five In Kansas.
"Kansas has paid proportionately
twice as much for education as has
Missouri.
"One dollar and forty-eight cents
was the amount per capita spent
by. Kansas for luiucr in the last ten
years, while the figures in Missouri
reached $24.
"Think of it, in the last twenty
years I: has spent $1,600,000,000 for
liquor, an amount equal to its tax
able property. In that time Kansas
has spent but $50,000,000."
Majority for Hobson
The liquor interests provided a
bundant fundi to defeat the nomina
tion, as congressman for Alabama
of Rldb u id P. flotnon. who has
proven Mich a valiant fOS to the
"great destroyer," but th.'ir efforts
were in vain, the majority for the
"hero cf the Merrimac" being the
largest ever given In that district.
Thij Btftok and WhUe of Things
When Charles B. Allen, who for
seven te n ytars has served the po
lice department of Kalamazoo, Mich
and is now chief of police of that
city, was visiting in Wichita, Kan
gas, says the Kansas Issue, he re
marked to the editor cf one of the
papers, "I wish that every man who
betlevea it impossible to run a city
without. saloons would ccine to Wich
ita and look the situation ever as I
did last night. We have thirty-eight
saloons In Kalaaiazco. and it is dif
ficult to find them fiee freni Ujiuak.-
en men. You may line violations
of prohibitory law, but we have
constant violations of the license
law. The liquet seller will violate
the law wherever he is. In Kala
mazoo It Is a constant fight to keep
him in line, even with the liberal
law we have in force for him. One
of the important duties cf my office
has to do with women who ocaae ;o
me for protection against some sa
loon man who is keeping their hus
bands drunk. I believe It is safe to
say Phat ninety per cent of the la
borers cash their pay checks In sa
loons. Then they stay there and
spend their money for drink that
shoirld go to their families." "I've
been visiting In Kansas several
weeks," continued Chief Allen, "and
notwithstanding the fact that your
prohibitory laws are sometimes vio
lated, you are better off t halt you
would be with a license law. You
) ave made a criminal out of the
liquor seller, and you can control
him with the criminal laws. You
can s'nd h:m to prison tor seiiin 1
whisky to members of your family.
Ml we can do in Kalair.axoo is to
sue htm tor damage rr take awny
his lfcense. In Kansas you've got
the whisky dealer on the run. I'p
there 'he helps to run us."
Liquor Arithmetic
"Boy at the head of the class.
uhat are we pnyl'ng for liquor ftft ,i
nation?"
"$noo.ooo,000 annually."
"Step to the blackboard, my boy
First take a rule and measure this
Rter dollar. HoW thick is It?"
"Nearly an eighth of an inch."
"Well, sir, how many of them can
you put in ftfl inch: .
"Between eight and nine."
"Give the benefit of the doubt;

it take to pile these $900,000,000 in?"
"loo.ooo.OOo inches."
"Mow many feet would that
s,:;:::!.:::::: feet."
"How many reds in that?"
"505.O5O rods."
"How many miles In that?"
"tJUti miles."

the State f blizzard which proved to
he the worst that had been vpeii
in i tl in Nebraska for a number ot
rears The snow was piled high in the
cits and the wagon roads were
blocked It was impossible for any
trp'ns to start on time The southern
Burlington train was not able to make
a atagle point the first day. the Union
Pacific and the eastern Burlington
practically abandoned the foroaoou'l
work and the Northwestern was from
one to three hpurs behind schedule ft
day The vaRon roads pore such that
in so.ne places they were Impassible.
While In o'hers the only way the faun

ride n I'orsehack.

The speakers first gave I little ni

stating that the conditions in the

been known up to the present time
The audience were next told that
the would not belter themselves by
ordering seed com from outside tin-
Mate, Im cause the seed In other torn
growing siatis was no better and in
ftOme places worse Next they were
told If they did order seed from out
side, and even got seed that would
grow, they would probably be dlaap
pointed In the yield, for experiments
have shown that imported seed did
not do so well as local grown teed
They were even advised not to get
seed very far iway from home In their
own stale That even a distance of
forty miles might make quite a differ
em ! in their yield They were told
that they COUld get seed out of their
own cribs If they would select the
smaller ears with the shallower ker
nels of the flintier type rathei than
the large mra With the deep kernels
Tests of seed sent Into the station and
made at short courses and varMUS
corn shows showed a much larger per
