Since the sale of whiskey lias been made illegal and a violation of the law, handling of it is a matter which concerns all good and law-a biding citizens. Every man and woman recognizes it one of the greatest evils and one that should he suppressed as much as possible. Public sentiment is more united on this question than any other question confronting us at this time. 'v* This is not a problem to he solved by fanatics and demagogus.but by all good, level-headed citizens united for the good of society and for the protection of our homes, our hoys and young men. The fanatic too often goes to extremes which weakens the cause advocated and the demagogue attempts to work on the enthusiasm of the over zealous, if by so doing lie can accomplish his ends although when brought to the real test exposes his insincerity. '►s The only way by which blind tigers and violators of the prohibi tion law can be stopped is by strictly enforcing the iawagainst selling and handling intoxicating liquors. - This cannot he successfully done without grand juries and all good citizens finding the offenders so they may be brought before the bar of justice and the courts imposing penalties that will deter vio lators. It is impossible to stop this trafic if you have favorites to shield while anxious? to have others prosecuted. What the country needs is real consistent, well balanced men pnd women to use their influence, give their aid and support in find ing the violators and help have the law enforced. The Harrow Times in an editorial headed “A Deplorable Condi tion”, in its issue of October Ist, 1918, called the attention of its read ers to the state of affairs confronting us and the disregard for the pro hibition law. For the benefit of those who so soon forget, and for those who failed to read it, we take the liberty of quoting below a part of this editorial. The Times painfully regrets to do or say anything of a nature to bring our town or county in the lime-light as to their moral status, but duty forces us to state emphatically, that a deplorable condition of affairs confronts us calling for the strongest condemnation of all good citizens. Disregard for the state prohibition law, the increasing blind tigers and violators of this law make it imperative on the courts and law-abiding citizens that something he done. It is becoming so public and the elfectsof it so noticeable it cannot be hid, and not only are the people of this county calling attention to it more and more, but the people of the adjoining counties. Harrow county cannot afford to let these charges of gross violation of law go unnoticed longer without great de triment to our future standing as a community. And the on ly way to stop it is by united effort and strict enforcement of the law. Many communities are making tjiis complaint and it is not confined to any one section of the county. If blind tigers are allowed to go on and keep increasing in number, we will have some tragedies that will not only shock us, but the state at large. This editorial was written Oct. Ist, 1918, to try and arouse the conscience of our citizens and did not affect the circulation of the Har row Times, as over 300 new subscribers have been added since itspub- Jication.

ICE CREAM Since remote antiquity, man has found pleasure in the eating of frozen sub stances. The Bible speaks of the people of Palestine appreciating the refrshing qualities of snow in harvest time. The ancient Jews, Greeks and Homans were accustomed to its use for the cooling of beverages. Alexander the Great relished a substance much like our sherbets today, frozen with snow brought from a mountain top by a swift running slave. But about the first real ice cream ever made was placed before Louis XIV, King of Frnnce, by his chef, who used cream in the ice of his invention, and thereby made ice cream. In our own country ice cream became popular before the Revolution. The manufacturer of this dainty obtained a high price in those days as the recipe was kept a close secret. The first advertisement of ice cream in this country appeared in a New York paper dated June 8, 1786. and rends: “Ladies and Gentlemen may be supplied with iee cream every day at the City Tavern by their humble servant Joseph Crowe.” The article furnished by the humble Joseph was surely a luxury as it cost a dollar a quart. Ice Cream is not only one of the most delicious of sweets, enjoyed by old and young, but it is also a very nutritious food. It has several times the food value of candies; a quart is worth nearly as mueh ns three pounds of beef steak. Because it is so nutritious and so easily digested physicians recommend it to invalids and convalescent patients; athletes in training eat it; and, if home made so that you know it is pure and free from harmful adulterations, it. is the best of food for growing girls and boys. Children tire bound to have it and if not given to them at home where it can be made absolutely pure they will buy it on the street from doubtful sources. 1 manufacture Ice Cream of all kinds, for any occasion—on just a fc-*C hours’ notice.
