Those who advocate more restrictive laws as a cure seem to fail to realize that nothing sound can be built on a shaky foundation* A multitude of authorities have attempted to point out the daws in our legal system, our prison system and the like —but for the most part they have spoken to deaf ears. Our much vaunted American efficiency is apparently impotent in the matter of prime correction. AS TO MOTORACCIDENTS We read an interesting articlfe in a motor trade paper a few days ago that gave a vivid review o f legislation in various states governing license for motor car drivers and financial responsibility. The results were anything but what is being claimed for a proposed law in Ohio. ' s ’ In fact it is evident we need a federal plan for motor control. The Ohio proposal is nothing more than a scheme devised by designing politicians to further build a political ma • chine at the expense o f motor car drivers. This is going to be a bad year for forcing individuals to dig into their pockets to get fifty cents to pay some official for a slip to be called a driv — er*s license; ‘ With car licenses and gasoline consumption drop- ‘ ping at a terrific rate' one wonders how automobile club officials can be dupped in supporting such a scheme to pinch fifty cents a year from each driver of a car. With Governor White aboljsh- ing offices to reduce the cost o f state government, it is not likely a new system for more offices can be set up.

A s an example to others he distributed pas­ teurised milk, including milk properly modified fo r young infants, in the poor districts o f New York. His influence 1 b felt in foreign coun­ tries as well as here, Because o f his work pasteurization o f milk and care­ ful handling and bottling are now en­ forced by law, and, thanka to Mr. Straus, the death rate among infants in New York has been cut down 50 per cent, ' i WICKERSHAM REPORT OF LITTLE VALUE The long Waited Wickersham report on prohibition and law enforcement has been made public and is ho*surprise to those who have followed the situation. After all it reveals nothing more than what most every citizen knows. What recommenda­ tions are made will not likely have much influence on Congress The report is nothing more than the individual opinion o f the members of the commission. Two of the eleven advocate out­ right repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment; four urge changes in clause; five favor further test. As to sale of liquors by in­ dividual states and open saloons, the majority are opposed, it is not likely the report will be hailed with any degree of delight by either wets or drys. Dry leaders over the country will no doubt be startled to hear of Senator Borah’s changed views as he has long been an advocate of prohibition. He now contends that repeal or no. repeal of the eighteenth amendment was the issue and demands that it be taken to the people again for an­ other expression by popular vote. Mr, Straus was one o f three broth­ ers, all distinguished fo r good citizen­ ship and public spirit. His brother Isador, whose heroic death on. the Titanic will be long re membered, represented bis state in congress,-.and was one o f the three greatest merchants produced1 by the United States thus fur. A monument in New York city was erected in his honor. Oscar Straus, the youngest brother, represented this country as ambassador. to Turkey at-Constant!' nople, and was in . the cabinet o f Theodore Roosevelt. ' • _ Nathan Straus, literally saved, the lives o f millions o f children. His memory will be enshrined in the hearts o f mothers all over the world.

It is left to the decision o f President Hoover as to distribution o f the wheat. The farm hoard controlling this wheat purchased with govemment money would be given credit with the average cost o f the wheat. \ In view of the failure of the farm hoard, plan to stabilise the price o f wheat and the government eventually being forced to stand a great los^ when the wheat was .sold before another crop goes into the market, stiqh a movement has a good chance o f not only aiding the wheat market, but relieving suffering among those in need o f public aid. The wheat situation is not ’ encouraging to American farmers due to an over production the world over and anything this government can do towards increasing consumption o f our own wheat will at least indirectly uphold the present market price. . A FIVE DAY WEEK Agitation is being made these days by many interests, espe­ cially the big labor interests, to place,in existence the five-day a week schedule for working, leaving two days for leisure; Thomas A. Edison, several yeara_ago_predicted-that-this prac­ tice would be adopted eventually by business. Yet,Mr. Edison, himself* would scarcely take time out to sleep. The tendency for years, with the deyelopment-of jabor- savingmachineiy, has been toward shorter working hours; with the result that the average American has more leisure time than ever before in history. _ ____ _________ _ ___ _________ Xefsure time can be made a blessing or a curse. If leisure time is employed— at least a part of it—in self-improvement and harmless recreation, shorter working days and weeks will be a progressive step. But if leisure time is not devoted to healthful exercise and mental development, no good can come of it. Most any man who is serving a sentence in a penal institu­ tion could supply substantiating evidence. In the vast majority of cases, the law violator and all types of offenders against society have too much leisure time. Leisure time must be put to good use. It must be utilized in developing character and doing constructive things that will benefit the individual and make him a better citizen. If every moment of leisure time is wasted in pleasure-seek­ ing and in creating expensive habits, that are not in keeping with one’s income, the present-day tendency toward shorter hours will become a curse instead of a benefit, as intended. — Jackson Herald. THE BOILED DOWN POINTS ON WICKERSHAM FINDINGS WASHINGTON.—The following is the condensed report o f the law enforcement commission in a nutshell: The majority report opposed outright repeal o f the eighteenth amendment. Two o f the member* favored it. Light wines and beer were discarded by the commission as a whole, Four o f the commissioners urged this legislation. ' * The majority report favored a further trial for prohibition. Five members concurred in their individual reports. V As a group, the commission opposed entry o f the federal or state governments into the liquor business. One member proposed a plan to this end, however, and five more urged its consideration. A majority agreed there has been "no adequate observance or enforcement” o f prohibition, and that machinery to this end remains inadequate. ' ' - 1 , AU agreed enforcement should be strengthened. Some believed this strengthening should hold only until the amendment Is repealed or revised. ‘HERALDWANT AND SALE IDS PAT Farmers o f Saskatchewan have for­ mulated >a "charter o f liberty.” They threaten “ a co-operative common­ wealth within the British empire. That has h Russian sonnd. ' The demand a basic price fo r wheat to cover the cost o f production, retro­ active to the. first o f last August. That sounds like Uncle Sam. They would abolish grain ex­ changes and all speculation in farm products. And they would have the government crop insurance, “guaran­ teeing. all farmers’ production against all natural risks.” That sounds like heaven. . . Also the farmers ask'an arrange­ ment that would regulate the cost o f things bought by fanners to It the selling price o f commodities that the farmer produces. . Where does, Russia get the money? Her. annual budget it 016,500,000,000, much bigger than ours, biggest in the worldLi*iid she bus a surplus o f 0760,- 000,000, while we face a deficit. The .Swedish Krupp works receive from Russia an* order for military supplies amounting to 014,500,000 and Germany has just shipped into Russia thirty carloads o f machinery and equipment fo r a large ammonia fa c­ tory, one o f several such' shipments sent by Germany to Russia within the last few years. German engineers and, chemists will erect and supervise the factories, which can be used and prob­ ably a^e intended, to manufacture ’erhaps we underestimate Russia. The allies may have made a mistake disarming Ger­ many and making he_r worthless as..« buffer between Russia and western Europe.

RICHARDS. Mayor. Attest: JOHN O. McCORKinX. Clerk. Fencing small irregular fields is an expensive operation, according to J. I, Falconer, chairman o f the department of-rural economics at-the-Ohio-State University, who finds that for most kinds o f general farming the fields should be at least 40 rods long. Rectangular fields and small fielc|p require more fencing per acre than square or large fields. With fields o f the same shape, he states, the larger the field, the fewer rods o f fence to the acre are required to enclose it, and a proportionally smaller area o f till­ able land is occupied by fences. A square field o f 1 acre would require 50 rods o f fence; one o f 20 acres, 11.3 rods o f fence per acre; while a square field o f 40 acres could be fenced witli 8 rods o f fence per acre. If the width o f land occupied by fences in the one acre and 40 acre field were uniform, the amount o f waste land due to fences would be more than six times as mbch in the 1-acre field as in the , 40-acre field, Falconer says. A square field o f ten acres requires 160 rods o f fence; a rectangular field of 10 acres, 28 by .56 rods, requires MONEY PAID WHEN WEIGHED Every American should see all of this wide, beautiful country, West. East, North and South, going by one railroad and returning b y another, and without fail making one trip through the Panama canal. The pessimist especially should see his country, from the giant trees of Washington and Oregon in the North­ west, to the palm trees and sand beaches o f Florida. - A trip from the Atlantic to the Pa­ cific means only three night* on the train now, and the comfort o f modern travel is unbelievable—solid trains o f steel cars, running smoothly, with ev­ ery comfort o f a first-class hotel, and the additional pleasure o f going some* where and seeing the world as you go. You sympathise with the turtle be­ cause he cannot go far. But at least he goes as far as he can. You feel sorry for the Texas “ tick,” brushed from a cow, and unable in his whole lifetime to crawl more than two oi* three feet in search o f another cow’s leg to start in'business again. Don’t be a turtle or a Texas tick. Travel, see your country.
