FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1930 PROHIBITION TROUBLES LAW MAKERS Prohibition is proving a nightmare to the lawmakers in Congress if one can .fudge the situation from a distance. The press almost daily has been carrying statements of prominent men touching on some particular phase of the controversy. Senator.Borah, who probably did more to aid in the elec­ tion o f Herbert Hoover for president, has now taken the critical role in offering*scathing criticism of the present administration and the enforcement plan in use. Senator Borah has a wonder­ fu l following not only in his home state o f Idaho, but the entire nation. His influence in Congress is exceeded by very few mem­ bers, He stands head and shoulders over fellow members as an orator and a clear thinker and never hesitates to say what he thinks. What he has to say is no doubt true and the prohibi­ tion, issue needs some,life injected in it. To hold President Hoover solely responsible is wrong and we find no place where Borah personally criticizes the President even though an attack is made on the administration. The President must work with the tools Congress has provided. Most of the prohibition ’en­ forcement agents owe their places to influence dictated by mem­ bers of the House and Senate. The'department has never been .free from political dictation but that is no fau lt°of President Hoover. ' • » A few .years back it was suggested that all enforcement agents be chosen by the department responsible for enforce­ ment but members of congress objected. Some of the leading so-called dry Senators openly challenged such a move. The present situation is due to /desire to control prohibition ap­ pointees and as congress as a whole is regarded “d ry /’ the dry. element must acknowledge the present ^enforcement plans were made b so-called drys and not the wets, Washington is regarded as one of the wettest spots in the nvifvir tin t oY^p-n+inir W pw Vm-k flif.v nv Chfoairn. Public country, not excepting Ne Yor City or icago •gatherings and most semi-public functions are wet and no effort has yet been made to keep them dry. Wet members of Con-, gress find pleasure in attending such gatherings and smile at • so-called enforcement. «J)ry congressmen that drink wet enjoy themselves an.d ma'ke no public ^utterance. Dry congressmen that do not drink attend these public affairs but say nothing publically. So-called dry congressmen bring liquor into the country following ocean' trips to some oasis under foreign gov­ ernment control. Enforcement along this line is a mockery and the salaried dry leaders come forward to defend a congressman that has voted dry in the past and happens to be a caught with a suit case or trunk of liquor at the port of entry on his return ■ ".home.' \ v . v x ■ Senator Borah will never be vei'y popular in official Wash­ ington from now on. He evidently is determined to force a show-down. The lobby element, that always has plenty of liquor, has attempted to control congress on various issues. ‘ Borah is a free lance and far beyond the reach of those who would threaten him. He is one that will go before his fellow countrymen with his cause. He cannot be dictated tooSay either drys or wets. To sum up the situation one must admit publically what manv would withold and that is we have not and never yet have s ad as much of prohibition as the paid dry leaders have led the' people to believe. It is so in each state, town and town­ ship. Dry political leaders have loaded the enforcement de­ partment with ex-bar-tenders and men that have been sopping Wet-all their lives. While preaching the doctrine of prohibition these same politicians have used these wet enforcement agents for political purposes, to advance their own cause. Ohio has experienced some very shameful things about her legislature in past years. More than once members .from dry .counties have been led down the isle while under the influence of liquor to cast their vote on some measure the dry element desired. There was no Borah in the Ohio Legislature and the only thing heard would be a few snickers among the wets. The remedy is entirely in the hands of the friends of the eighteenth amendment. What progress is to be made in the future must come from these friends. There are millions of honest believers in prohibition and there are thousands that are making a living preaching prohibition that never utter one word about the inside working of it. Their jobs are first and the public that has an honest conviction on this question and hope for success is being blinded so far as having the real truth revealed. While President Hoover must stand much of the stigma .he can go no farther than what our so-called dry Congress pro­ vides. . Senator Borah should turn his guns on his fellow mem- " bers and the infamous lobby that seeks to control all forms of ’ legislation. • . ‘ ; Loose and B rok en P la tes Made to F i t T ig h t By my latest improved methods I can make your old and broken Plates fit tight and look right a t very low cost to you.

PICKARD M ANY happenings contributed to making the year J929 highly in­ teresting to the observers of human- events, and at times exciting for some of the participants therein. First In In­ ternational Importance were the long Strides taken toward the establishment of peace and amity throughout the world. These were the unprecendented visit of Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain to .President Hoover, followed by the announcement that under their, administrations the two great English-speaking nations would co-operute to prevent war, and by the invitation ta France, Italy and Japan to participate with the United States and Britain in another conference for naval limitation; the formal accept­ ance of {lie Kellogg-Brland pact by nearly all nations; the readjustment of German reparations by the Young commission, the liquidation of other World war problems and the, begin* ‘ning of Uie evacuation of the Rhine­ land by the allies. 1 Mars was almost Idle throughout tlie year. The onlj^ serious armed conflicts were the “unofficial” war in Manchuria between the Chinese and Russian; the perennial civil war-In China; a bloody but futile rebellion In Mexico, and a bitter struggle for the throne of Afghanistan. An upris­ ing of Arabs against Jews in Pales­ tine cost many lives but was speed­ ily quelled by the British. lu the Unitqd States the most talked-of •event was the collapse In the autumn of inflated stock prices on the exchanges, which took from a host of amateur speculators paper profits' of many billions of dollars. The calamitous depression that might have resulted was averted when Pres­ ident Hoover called into conference tiie leaders of Industry, finance and labor and obtained their pledges to support his program for continued and increasing prosperity. At the same time Secretary\of' the Treasury Mellon announced that the adminis­ tration would recommend that cor­ poration and individual Income tax rates for 1929 be reduced by 1, per ceut, nnd this plan was supported by leaders of both parties and acted on with celerity by congress in Decem­ ber, Tn' its special session during the summer congress enacted a farm re­ lief law and a federal farm board acting- under its provisions was soon in operation with ample funds to aid the agriculturists. The house also pnssejj a tariff bill, raising many of the rates; but the senate, controlled by a coalition of Democrats and,rad­ ical Republicans, re-wrote the meas- ”ure on other lines and the controver­ sy went over to the regular session that dpened on December 2. INTERNATIONAL D W HEN Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, after doing a little Job of revis­ ing 'the public finances of Santo Do­ mingo, went to England ns American ambassador, he immediately began conversations with' Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald with a view of clearing up the differences between the United States und Great Britain concerning limitation of naval-arma­ ment and preparing the way for an­ other conference of the chief naval powers. The two statesmen found agreement easy, and early in October Mr. MacDonald came over to discuss that and allied questions with Presi­ dent Hoover. Their conversations were equally satisfactory and they announced that the two nations would renounce war with each other nnd co­ operate to preserve peace throughout the world, The spirit of good will in­ fused all their utterances, and even the suspicious French were reassured when both Mr, Hoover and Mr, Mac­ Donald declared this Anglo-American entente was not designed to take the leust advantage of any other nation. "The ground thus being made ready, ' France. Italy, and Japan were invited to participate in a conference in Lon­ don in January for the purpose of ex­ tending and supplementing the Wash­ ington treaty of 1922. They were told that the British and American govern­ ments still desired the abolition of the submarine but recognized that, no ’ final settlement on this subject could be reached except In conference with the other naval powers. President Hoover named, fts Amer­ ican delegates to the <. inference, Sec­ retary of State Stlmson, Secretary of the Navy Adams, Ambassadors Dawes. Morrow and Gibson, and Senators Itecd of Pennsylvania nnd Robison of Arkansas. Adjustment of Reparations. German reparations were readjust­ ed by the commission of International expertsf headed by Owen D. Young'of the United Stutes, nnd the plan of­ fered was accepted by fill nations con­ cerned, though Germany professed to be disappointed .with It, and Great Britain would not accept the division of payments at ilrst suggested. The Germans were consoled by the result­ ing evacuation of the Rhineland long before the time set by the treaty of Versullie'S. Withdrawals from two of the occupied zones was completed late in the year, and by the middle NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estates of Julia C. Hlom-tl de­ ceased, W.

WRIGHT, Probate Judge of said County. in aa optimistic moo$ pr@sen.ted to the representatives of 28 European countries his plan for a federation of the continental powers, asking that it be submitted to their governments. It was received politely and widely dis­ cussed. Russia and China, disputing over the control and management of the Chinese Eastern railway, came to blows along the Manchurian, borders, and though there was no declaration of war, the fighting* continued for months. The Russians were the ag­ gressors, making frequent raids into Chinese territory and destroying a number,of towns. “White’* Russians In Manchuria were especially the ob­ jects of their attacks. Finally, late in November, China appealed to the powers to persuade Russia to abide by the Kellogg-Brland pact, which both Russia and, China had signed. President Hoover led the way In re- \ sponse to this request, but meanwhile negotiations bad begun between Mos­ cow and the provincial government of Manchuria, and Moscow resented the American note as unnecessary and “not o friendly action.” Italy and th« Vatican at Peace. , Early In February negotiations for the resumption of friendly relations between Italy and the Vatican were completed and a treaty was signed by which Italy recognized the full sovereignty of the pope and the quar­ rel which had lasted 50 years was ended. The separation of church and state In Italy was made official, and the Vatican, with Borne adjacent land given the status of an Independent state. It was called “Vatican City” and Plus XJ promulgated a constitu­ tion for it. One other old qukrrel was settled amicably, through this efforts of Pres­ ident Hoover. This was the Tacna- Arlcn dispute between .Chile-and Pern. The territory was divided and every one was satisfied except Bolivia, which had hoped for an outlet to the sea, ■■■."■ Elihu Root’s -formula for adhesion of the United States to the Court of International Justice, commonly known as the World court, was ac­ cepted by the League of Nations and the court itself. *It satisfies In the main the reservation long ago made by the senate, but It will be necessary for that body to pass on the matter again. The protocol was signed in December on behalf qf president Hoo­ ver by J, P. Moffat, American charge d’affaires at Berne, Switzerland. FOREIGN p ltlME Minister Stanley Baldwin’s * British government grew steadily weaker through^wb first part of the year because of unemployment, hous- . tog, pensions, taxes and a dozen other domestic problems which It could not meet to the satisfaction of the nation. David Lloyd George put the rejuve- noted Liberal party In the. limelight with ample promises, and the Labor- Ites looked forward to:the general elec­ tions of May 30 with a confidence that was fairly justified. When the ballots were counted It was found that the Conservatives had been*badly defeated, so Baldwin and hfs cabinet resigned. No one party had secured a dear*ma­ jority in- the house of commons, but the Laborites were strongest There­ fore Ramsay MacDonald was given the post of prime minister and proceeded to form a pew government The port­ folio of minister of labor was given to Miss Margaret Bondfleld, the first woman to enter a British cabinet She was one of fourteen women elected to parliament Arthur Henderson was put at the head of the foreign office. • The Liberals had elected fifty-nine members and held the balance of pow­ er, They virtually agreed to support the Labor government so long as the policies It put forward were not too socialistic; and It was freely predicted that Mr. MacDonald’s chief .troubles would come from the radical members of his party. His plans for the al­ leviation of unemployment were almost upset in July when the great cotton In­ dustry was tied up by -a strike that Involved GOO,000 operatives and closed 1,800 mills In the Lancashire area. The prime minister took an active personal part in the settlement of this trouble. He also made progress toward ending the old disputes between the coal mine operators and their employees, Francs Reasonably Prosperous, France had a fairly prosperous year, her people fattening on big crops, reparations and American tourists and amusing themselves as always with the game of politics. Premier Poincare continued In office, despite ill health, untii he bad secured the ratification of the war debt agreements with the United States and Great Britain, This action was taken by the parliament on July 26, and M. Poincare, who had so ‘ long and So well served his country, immediately resigned, Aristide Briand, veteran cabinet member, Was made premier, ami ns the Radical Socialists refused to participate, he made no changes In the ministers. Under his rule repressive measures against the Uommunists Were continued with vigor, and their meetings "of protest were broken up by the police. Through the summer unemployment was almost or failing to cool the milk property, 1 says Prof. L. H. Burgwald of the de-i partment of dairy technology of the j Ohio tate University. “A little care J on the part of the farmer would avoid' this loss,” says Professor Burgwald. “Milk is an ideal rqediqm for the growth of bacteria, All that the bac­ teria require when, introduced into the milk, is the proper temperature, and they will multiply very rapidly. In growing they break down the milk sugar in the milk and convert it into lactic acid which in turn sours the milk. But the bacteria will grow very slowly, if at ail, a t a temperature be- low 50 degrees Fahrenheit. “Milk coming from the normally healthy cow "is practically free from bacteria, so when large numbers of bacteria are found means either that they have been introduced after milking, through the use of unclean utensils, or that the milk has not been promptly and properly-cooled, and the bacteria have multiplied very rapidly. “The public judges thq^ quality of the milk by the length of time which it will.keep sweet. The milk plant has to use, some test which will determine advance how long the milk .will m keep sweet. This test takes the form of a -bacteria count under a compound microscope, an. alcohol test, or . a methylene blue test. The blue color of the milk caused by the addition of methylene blue dye, disappears more or less quickly, according to the tfum-. ber of bacteria present. The micro­ scopic test,'however, an actual count of the bacteria present, is the one most commonly used.” Shorts and Middlings Entries will close February 1, 1930, for that year's Ton-Litter and Pork- Production projects sponsored by the Agricultural Extension Service of the Ohio State University. Ohid, in the opinion of W. W. Pad- dock, professor of horticulture at the Ohio State University, has a valuable asset in the hundreds of bushels of walnuts which are allowed to go to waste in the state, nearly every fall. : Plowing seven or eight inches deep >n infested convstalk land, is neces­ sary if the stalks are to be covered well enough to ruin the hopes of the borers next spring. Says Sam; Snow and cold waves wbuld be welcome in hell, and -Kell is welcome to them. Despite a decrease of 5 per cent in total crop production, 1929 crops were worth 85 million dollars more than last year’s., says the crop reporting board of the United States Depart­ ment of Agrciulture. “UNTAMED” GIVES JOAN CRAWFORD UNUSUAL ROLE Great dramatic strength is given '‘Untamed”. M-G-M all-talking pic­ ture which shows at the Regent Thea­ tre, Springfield for one week starting Saturday January 4th, because of the contrast between the first locale in- the Central American jpnglq|| and the later scenes in the center of fashion­ able New York. Joan Crawford has the strongest and most effective role yet given her as "Bingo" Dowling, the daughter of an oil prospector who is eighteen be- ore she leaves the jungles for blase Manhatten. It is her first all-talking picture. You sympathize at all times with th is'g irl’s bewilderment over'modern conventions. She falls in love at first sight with the first white young man she sees on a north bound ship, and can’t understand why he or her guard­ ians should worry because she is rich, and the boy hasn’t a cent, This situation, aided by the heavy- handed methods of gruff old Ben Murchison, her guardian, rushes on, gathering dramatic, steam until the explosion finally occurs with almost tragic results. N. * I t is a very well handled story of the “modern youth” variety.
