DENMARK SOON
TO GET CHANGE TO
VOTE ON DRY LAW
Prohibitionists, "Overwhelm
ed With Success" In Nor
way, Lay Plans to Extend
Their Operations.
By CnWanal ServlcaC
Copenhagen, Nov. 22. Since a
large majority of the Norwegian
people voted for prohibiting the sale
of liquor, Denmark, too, will soon
l ave a chance,- to decide the drink
question by 'popular vote. The
"drys" demand a referendum and
King Barleycorn's fate will be de
cided at the ballot box. Advocates
of prohibition are preparing for an
energetic campaign, assisted by
"dry" organizations in Norway
which are taking a lively interest
in their neighbor's sobriety.
Norwegian prohibitionists are still
"overwhelmed with success." Their
. sanguine hopes - were surpassed
wnen tne people s verdict was re
corded. As a matter of fact the
prohibitionists originally opposed
the referendum. They preferred to
rely upon the Storthing, the national
legislature, which has put a ban on
liquor as a war measure. The
"wets," however, who wanted to lift
the war restrictions forced the fight
ing and now they reeret it.
The fight for and against prohibi
tion overshadowed all other issues
Although all the cities vofed heav
ily against the dry proposition,
the rural districts rolled up .large
majorities for it. The press, which
generally favored the wets, de
plores the apparent cleavage be
tween the urban and rural popula
tion. Ihristiama, the capital, cast
7'J,UUO "wet" and 13,500 "dry" votes,
City folks claim the peasants distill
their own liquor on their farms and
i ' i . t. t . .
re merely icaious oi me uroanues
who can afford to pay for their
drinks. ,
The new law adopted by the ceo
pie prohibit the tale 'and manufac
ture or all intoxicating beverages
containing more than 12 per cent
alcohol. - This includes whiskies. and
strong wines. The "drys" never
thought of putting the ban on beer
and light wines. I he wets were
in favor of the Swedish system, un
der which the consumption of
strong drink is rationed, each per
son being entitled to a certain al
lowance of drink, prescribed by law.

Revolt Against Morals
PrevaOs In England
London, Not. 22. "Except in the
nguttt tense you cannot call Eng
land a Christian cosntry," Bishop
Gora, recently leading speaker at the
English church conference, told the
International News Service today.
"It is not only that in every class
those who positively hold the Chris
tian faith, are in a minority, but there
it a . widespread revolt against the
principles of Christian morality.
"The demand for free divorce, the
open acquiescence in immorality as
inevitable; the widespread justifica
tion of what is euphematically called
birth control, are evidence of this.
"I would not be astonished to see
the reign of anti-Christ, or many
'anti-Christs, in our modern world.
But the divine message will still
prove victorious.
"We live in a day when the facul
ty of criticism has greatly outrun the
faculty of construction. We cannot
anticipate any widespread revival of
religion. Men in general are not
seeking first the kingdom of God,
although they are interested in the
idea, which is a very different thing.
Neither our nation nor the other
nations have shown the least dispo-
sition'to take seriously to heart the
lessons of the war. The schemes
and projects of people are very
often lacking in wisdom and depth,
and the ablest men of our genera
tion, for the most part, seem to have
lost the faculty for a decisive faith."
Harvard President Would
Aid German'Professor, If
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 22. Pres
ident Lowell, of Harvard, is willing
to help Professor Keiol, of Ger
many, get his books and instruments
which have been taken from him by
France, but ,
Mr. LowaH's letter to Prof. Franz
Keibel of the University of Koe
nisrsberg, Germany, follows:
8My Dear Sir Your letter of
August 18 has come complaining
that your books, instruments and
other private scientific property
havt been restrained by the French
government at Strasibourg, and
asking me to use my influence to
procure their return.
"If you can prove to me that you
protested against the burning of the
library at Louvain and that you en
deavored to secure protection and
such treatment as you now request
for the professort of the universities
in the Belgium and French territory
occupied by the Germans, then I
will exert any influence that I may
possess to procure the return of
your personal scientific property.
"Very truly yours,
' "A.iAWRENCE LOWELL."
Cold' Storage Company
To Heat Historic Hall
Boston, Nov. 22. Historic Fan
eull Hall is to be heated by a cold
storage company. Mayor Peters an
nounces the awarding of a contract,
without advertising, to the Eastern
Cold Storage Co., to heat the ball
for three years at a cost of $3,000
per year. He stated that their was
no other concern with which the
city, might make a contract. There
are no heating facilities in the hall.
University Course Plans
To Cut Cost of Christmas
Berkeley, Cal, Nov.. 22. An ex
. tension course by the University
of California plans to reduce the
high cost of Christmas.
Women are enrolling in the
applied arts course here for that pur
pose. The work includes the mak
ing of all manner, of Christmas
knick-knacks, door furnishings,
house furnishings, picture , frames
and the like, all with the idea of re
ducing the "high cost of Christmas."
The sheer, stark courage of the
men and women who settled in
the great American7 desert and
made it bloom like the Garden of
Eden comes rushing over one as he
sees the great stretches of Nebraska
land and remembers that the first
white comers visited them lest than
a hundred years ago.
The table, the irrigated districts
and the sandhills all have their
problems, but perhaps the hardest
of all are those of the last named,
tne land of the short grass, as the
writers of books have heea pleased
:o can it.
soon on a chill, dull morning.
ere the sun has decided to rise,
lrom the musty, fusty murk of a
steam coach, perhaps the ignorant
eastener may , term the sand hills
barren and use the word bleak, but
the more fool he. Other lands make
a more blatant appeal for affection
The sandhills wait to be wooed
They will present the softest, sweet
est colors in the world through the
changing seasons, to their lovers
The very prettiest curves of
rounded hilltops are theirs. The
most delicate charm of all nature
is here in the gentle shadowing of
cloud on the surface of mother
earth. Delight for the wielder of
tne pencil, pure joy for the man
with the paint box.
The Experimental Farm.
Here the very attractive town of
Valentine, in fact right tightaagainst
lA - A 1 -1 - 1 T i I
its eastern border lies Nebraska
University Experimental farm. Of
course if you are'one'of those an
tique creatures who care nothinar for
agriculture and expect your potatoes
to oe brought by some miraculous
process straight out of nothingness
to your table and your plate, just
past this story .by. But we assure
you something will be misssed if
yon pass the land of this story by in
similar disdain.
The university farm at Valentine
should be called the "Farm of
Hone." and the pleasant young
couple, who, as superintendent and
wife, are just beginning to take up
the task of conquering the dragon
of the sandhills are assuredly
worth your attention. The portion
of the farm where the buildings are
placed is as level as if some rolling
machine managed by giants had
purposely smoothed it. If the super
intendent takes you in his Ford over
the fields and back away from the
town towards the river, vou will
finds the lfnd decends and at its
eastern border is of the type the
scientists mention , when they
speak of subirrigated land.
Long, Hard Fight.
The sandhills refuse to be con
quered in a day or a - year. Had
Hercules lived in this land and this
aee thev would have been consid
ered worthy task for his undertak
ing They ring out now a clear,
cold challenge, and there are men
and women' who are mAre than
ready to take up" the call. Through
the dunes of Cherry county the
beautiful Niobrara "flows swiftly and
ttrongly, for very truth, a if it were
flaunting the laxy hills for their
slothfulness in producing crops an4
supporting men.
There 'are at least a dozen things
to make the city of Valentine and
the university farm well worth the
visitors while. Not tar to tne
north is the Rosebud agency, where
the Indians live, and of whom the
earliest settlers tell tales to curdle
the blood. Not far away is the na
tional forest, where the united
States government is visibly con
ouerinir the dragon by systemati
cally planting trees, and more trees.
Man's ingenuity will make this
stretch of sandhills one of the fairr
est spots in all the states some day.
Just mark this prophecy.
The Game, Reserve.
Beyond the university farm east
ward lies the national game re
serve where the early wild creatures
of this region are allowed to live
their lives unharmed by the murder
ous hand of man. Here you may
see a herd of native buffalo, a wilder
colony of elks, and the many birds
that like to spend a season in Ne
braska are sure of shelter. In this
vicinity stood old Fort Niobrara,
built at an outlook point against
the Rosebuds to the north.
But what about the university
farm? It dates from 1910 when 40
acres adjacent to the town of Valen
tine were donated by citizen! ol
Cherry county as a site for the
farm buildings. Five years later five
acres were purchased from the
United Statet government for ex
perimental farm purposes. This had
been a part of the Fort Niobrara
reserve. There are six main build
ings and tome smaller sheds. Four
are constructed of concrete blocks.
The fisheries on the Minnecaduza
are one-half mile from the farm.
which lies in a bend of the WioDrara.
This latter comes from the west
and half circles the farm, flowing
for a time almost northward. The
Minnecaduza flows almost due east
to join the Niobrara and the -farm
lies in a pocket between the two.
Blow-Outs a Problem.
One of the problems to be solved
on the university farm is that of
the blow-outs which the winds
make,' fairly scooping out great un
manageable holes in the earth. This
aside from the questin of mois
ture is one of the chief problems of
the farm. The farmer assures us
that the problem is solvable. ' A
top dressing of straw or manure or
the mere allowing of the growth
of weeds will materially assist
When small grain is planted allow
ing the stubble to stand all winter
is a preventive.
The farmer in the sand hills must
everlastingly try to get jas much
organic matter as he cart into the
soil. This is not so simple as it
seems to those who live in the
black soils area of the state. Or
ganic matter there soon rots and
does its duty by the soil, but in
the and hill country the absence
of decay is a handicap, for organic
matter just stays dry and clean in
the soil and does not rot to become
a part of its earthy bed. In the
sand hill country they must not
plow in too much vegetation. Thus
the green crop manure of other
regiont are impracticable.
Dairy and Silo.
The farm hat a dairy barn that
will accommodate 30 head of cattle.
With this a lot of experiments as to
feeding and the rest wilt, be tried
out for the benefit of the district.
There is a silo which has a ctpacity
of 400 tons. Nothing but corn has
as yet been tested in this. Rubra
Cornucopia Mercedes is the queen
of-the herd.- She is of Holstein
breed. She jt carefully watched and
her record will be looked after with
scientific exactness. It it hoped in
time to raise a desirable herd, the
members of which may be disposed
of in the community. Poland China
hogs are being tried on the farm.
Many Test Crops.
Experiments will be made with
test crops, of rye, corn and alfalfa.
Valentine lies at the north limit of
the corn belt, so that corn is hot a
profitable crop. Rye in the sand does
the best of the winter small grains.
Rotation as usually practiced ;s dif
ficult for some of the crops leave
the ground bare duringth winter
and this must be avoided in the sand
hills. One of the great needs is to
get grasses to grow on the places
where, as yet, nothing has been pro
duced. If these- can be grown there
will be at least native hay and the
soil will all the time be growing
richer so as to lead the .way for
other crops.
Try Out Trees.
Some attempt has been made on
the university farm with trees
mere is a small orcnard whicn is
plodding on. The Russian olives
planted for wind breaking qualities
are doing fairly well. But special
varieties, perhaps imported from
distant regions' and perhaps grafts
with native stocks, will probably
have to be employed. There Ss no
need to say that a country which
can produce native wild grapes and
plums, sand cherries and buffalo
berries is hopeless as a fruit coun
try. Some time the sand hills will
produce their fair share of luscious
fruit, but the early yielding, sorts
will not be good for the frost will
tco often catch them.
Dry farming is no longer a purely
experimental subject. It- has suc
ceeded . elsewhere and it will here.
Scientists are taking data secured
by experimental farming in Utah
as having considerable bearing on
conditions in western Nebraska. The
growing of small grains is increas
ing.
It will take courage, hard work
and tremendous hopefulness", to
gether with intense study to redeem
the sand hills to the highest agri
cultural service but the present
superintendent hW all this and to
spare.
Well Bred Girl Wants to
Pay Her Escort's Expenses
New .York, Nov. 22. An adver
tisement, which, according to the
advertising department of 'Columbia
university daily newspaper, the
Spectator, is the legitimate appeal
of a young woman, appered in a
recent issue of the paper over the.
address "B 36 Spectator." The ad
reads: "Are you bound by conven
tion? A Columbia girl from out of
tewn, cultured, well bred and fairly
good 'c oking wishes to make the ac
quaintance of several men in order'

tional and is willing to meet the
men half way by paying all ex
penses. Strictly confidential."
Several hundred students are patiently-awaiting
a reply, for the ad
was well answered.

THE DRUGLESS ROAD TO HEALTH
An educational treatise on the modern science of
. Chiropractic-" Its relation to the human machine
Chiropractic is Correct Mechanics
v
The Chiropractor takes as his fundamental belief,
the theory that a normal, healthful person is a
human machine in -good alignment. That so
long as it is in perfect alignment, all organs of the
human body will function properly, the machine
will run smoothly and health will continue.
It Has been conceded by all science that the spinal
cord, in its own casing, so to speak, is the base
of all locomotion, the crank shaft of the human
body. Leading direcy from the spinal column are
the nerves,. direct from the brain, which send qut
the tiny messengers called "life," controlling all
impulse, all thought, all action. .It is these nerves
which carry the messages of stress or pain of any
part of the body which may affect the general
health. 1
The bones of the spine, called vertebrae, are mov
' able: Because of some stress or blow, or accident,
the vertebrae may be slightly misplaced, causing

HPHE chiropractor applies to the human body
the same principles of correct rrfechanics that the finished
artisaiapplies to the bodies of steel that comprise the power
ful machines which are chained to do man's bidding.
It is only when some part of the machinery gets rusty, or
out of correct alignment that the rest of the body suffers
from the weakness of the afflicted part. The failure of
that one cog in the human machine throws the whole
body out of gear, which, if allowed to remain, with the
passing of time, causes the wreckage of. the whole ma
chine. Thus is the human body likened to a body of steel. ; ,
This is the Age of the Chiropractor
XJE believes that the human body must be kept
A in perfect order; that the proper way to give relief to the
whole machine is to see that every part of the body does -its
normal, healthy, functioning work. ;
unnatural pressure on the delicate and life-giving .
nerves which in turn carry a'message of ill health-,
to trie organ of the body which it controls. - " '
Correct mechanical adjustment of these verte-.
brae, the misalignment of which the highly trained
Chiropractor can recognize instantly, results in
relief to the afflicted part through the release of
the nerve from pressure.,.
CHIROPRACTIC, then,-simply means the
healthy, normal functioning of every part of the
human machine. The CHIROPRACTOrt simply
aids nature by finding and removing the CAUSE
OF ILL HEALTH, leaving nature to its ordained
.work of curing he bop!y and keeping it healthy.
