Sfimtancr lNota lOouiiucted by the National Uoroaus Christian Ttmpcrannj Union I “THE NATION DRY NEXT JULY." With prohibition for the period of the war and thereafter until the termi nation of demobilization, and prohi bition by federal amendment in effect early in 1920 (as seems sure), it may be said that John Rarleycnrn will lie, after July Ist, 1919, forever banished from these United States. So far from wishing him onto other and less fa vored lands, the temperance hosts are already engaged in a world-wide offen sive which will make him an outcast from every corner of the earth —the “man without a country”—no üblding place on sea or land. As for that particular unit of the temperance army, the National W. C. T. U., its occupation will not be gone after it has reached the goal of nation al constitutional prohibition. This point is clearly set forth in an ofllciul letter sent by Miss Annn A. Gordon, president, to every state W. C. T. U. We quote: “Some of our friends not close stu dents of the temperance reform, aro short sighted enough to say that with the securing of nation-wide prohlbftion through ratification of the federal amendment, the work of the W. C. T. U. will be accomplished and our ac tivities should be directed into other channels. On the contrary, we believe we may rightly claim that our greatest constructive work will then begin. Our educational propaganda under the new conditions of nation-wide prohibition will become even more necessary than in llie past. All our educational lines of work Hint concern young people und boys and girls should at once re ceive our whole-hearted, vigorous at tention. The children of today must hold the firohibitory law tomorrow. The appetite for alcoholic liquors and the avarice of the would-be liquor deal er will not become extinct when tills nation-wide law becomes operative. Locally we shall continue to lie In of fensive and defensive struggles with the direst foe of the child and the home; our best efforts will be needed to help establish substitutes for the saloon and to aid in the election of officials committed to the new law and to its strict enforcement. Our pro gram of social service after the pro hibition law goes into effect will have new and vital fontures and we should l>e alert in our preparedness. With added time and funds at our command, our fascinating and compelling lines of service among foreign-speaking peo ple; on behalf of moral education; child welfare; the welfare of women in industry; the education of women voters; anti-narcotics, anti-vice and many other important departments, can lie pushed with new zeal and help fulness. True to its character as a pi oneer the W. C. T. U. will forgo ahead In the social service activities of the new dry nation and in its mighty na tional and international program,” LIQUID LOGIC. The American soldiers are learning from their French and British com rades to love wine and beer in France, without which no civilized soldier can and will fight, much less gain victories. And “when Johnny comes marching homo” he’ll sound the death knell to parson-made American prohibition.— Brewers’ Journal. The liquor journals would have the people believe that success of Ameri can arms In France is due to booze 1 These boys were trained in canton ments in the United States surrounded by dry zones, were prohibited from buying or receiving as n gift. Intoxi cating liquors. Total abstainers, ev eryone of them, and after they arrived in France strong liquor was denied them and even the use of light wines and beer discouraged by declaration of their commander in chief. And yet the booze Journals of America, by some strange process of reasoning, figure it out that It is booze that Inspired them to victory over the beer-drinking Hun. Great is the logic of booze makers and booze apologists.—American Issue. NO RUM RATION In bis new book on “The Warfare of Today,” Lieutenant Colonel Azun, of the French army, testifies: “I nin not in favor of the practice of dis tributing alcohol before going to the attack. I have never given It out to my men, and I have never regretted this policy; they have always done bet ter without It. I suppose that a cer tain number of soldiers, nfftytod by alcohol, without being actually drunk, lose their sense of danger; they then expose their lives uselessly In a way they would not do had they all their wits about them. Probably It is Just to remove this anxiety that they ask for alcohol. In my opinion nlcohol is not needed for troops with u finely tempered morale.” SALOON BUILDINGS TO BECOME APARTMENTS New York brewers owning saloon properties are reported by the New York Journal to be preparing to turn them Into small tenements. It is said the ylan is looked upon by the govern ment and city officials as very prac ticable and patriotic. “An unthinkable thing has happen ed,” says the Texas Advance. “Prohi bition has nearly ruined our rescue mission in Houston. Since the saloon-' went out there Is nobody to rescue.” THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford Motor Company have instructed us to sell the genuine Ford Parts to any and every reliable Garage who will pledge their use in the repair of Ford cars.

Flanigan & Flanigan Phone 129 Winder. Ga, Who Benefits By High Prices? You feel that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers’ profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the new cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by higher prices and higher income. We are all living on a high priced scale. One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan tity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
