A quarter of a century ago Polarine was the favorite
oil of Nebraska motorists. Today it lubricates more
trucks, tractors and passenger cars than any other
brand of oil for these reasons.

new regulations just the same, with jnot be forced upon the states and
communities that do not want it.
That dream of perfection is out of
the question, and the commission
would only be laughed at did it pro
pose it. Prohibition has already been
carried to a point where it is de
feating itself. To cany it beyond
that point would be only to add to
its self-defeat. The rising tide of
terrorization reached its crest and
exploded in the Jones law. Any plan
to force prohibition upon great seg
ments of the population which do
not want it is fantastic, as was the
suggestion of Dr. Clarence True Wil
son that the Government use for this
purpose the army and navy.
Mr. Hoovers commission can
therefore only propose modification.
It has no other choice. If the coun
try cannot agree to that, it can only
fall back upon nullification. Nulli
fication would place the Eighteenth
amendment in tne same category
with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments. A great many people
believe this is what will happen, and
there is impressive evidence to sup
port that view. It is useless to tell
the prohibition leaders that they are
forcing nullification upon the coun
try. Their answer is that if it tomes
to this the wets and not they will
be responsible, a sufficient index to
what has come to be a state of mind.
Mr. Wickershana's proposal can hope
for nothing better from them than
those jeers by which it is being greet
ed.
Nothing could better illustrate the
impasse at which the United States
has arrived in the matter of prohibi
tion. Mr. Hoover seems to believe
that the states have a responsibility
to enact prohibition laws to enforce
the Eighteenth amendment, but there
is no power that can make them do
so if they do not feel such a respon
sibility. As they have no obligation
to enforce the .Eighteenth amend
ment,, they have no power to au
thorize what the Eighteenth amend
ment forbids. The whole difficulty
of a constructive suggestion lies here.
It is what Mr. Wickersham has in
mind. To bring about a working
agreement by which New York and
Maryland would co-operate with the

THE ST0CKINGLESS FAD
NATURE TO THE HELP
OP FARM
RELIEI
President Hoover's Farm Relief
Board was inaugurated as an active
working body. Its great mission as
set forth by the President in a brief
.'address, will be to adjust farm pro
duction to the country's agricultural
needs and to set up a permanent ma
chinery for the marketing of farm
products. Congress has appronriated
$500,000,000 for its use "splendid
resources," as Mr. Hoover well' calls
the huge fund.
Meantime, natural forces are
kindly working to relieve the board
of much of Its initial relief work.
When some weeks ago wheat was
down around a dollar a bushel in
Chicago, under the pressure of a
large carry-over from last year's crop.
It began to look as if the board would
have to dip into that $500,000,000
heavily to lift and "stabilize" the
wheat market.
Now a great crop scare Is develop
ing. Severe drouth is doing wide
spread damage In the spring wheat
region of our own Northwest and
Canada. Estimated production, es
pecially in Canada, is falling by tens
of millions of bushels daily. Crop
conditions in the other chief wheat
exporting countries of Argentina and
Australia are at the same time re
ported poor.
The world's wheat markets are ac
cordingly heading skyward. In Chi
cago the priee is up 40 cents a bushel
or more since six weeks ago, and
still soaring. Other grain prices are
also favorably affected. Thero will
be less wheat to sell and export than
expected, but the higher prices will
doubtless more than make good the
loss in crop quantity, as is usually
the case.
Every cloud has its silver lining.
A New York thief has cheerfully ac
cepted 'a sentence of twelve to fifty
years in prison because it will give
him an opportunity to cultivate his
art as a cartoonist and painter. He
will not be the first prisoner who
has turned his imprisonment into an
opportunity to make something
worthwhile of his life.
