Six Months ... ‘Three Months - OFFICIAL C6UNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —_— RURAL MOVIES SOON A REALITY. ‘A few years ago it was an exceptional occurrence to have a meeting of all the members of a com unity. Perhaps at a school entertainment or a Christmas efitertainment the com- munity would turn out in fairly good numbers because the ¥ children were going to be there and every proud parent wanted to see his boy and girl on the platform.” These nelg}lporhood meetings were very few, however. Today the conditions are very different. There are many contributing influences which have brought this about. 8 de 2 Agricultural county agents have helped much in arranging meetings for the neigborhood and providing speakers for them. i Consolidated schools are furnishing assembly places where the whole neighborhood may gather. There is still a wide field where the consolidated school, or even the public schools, will, in the near future, fill a long felt need in the community. It will be but a short time until individual electric light plants will be installed 'in all rural farms and schools and with the advent of electricity will come the possibility of moving pictures in the community. It will not be'necessary to gq to the city to see them. And. for real entertainment and educational work there are few things that are as good as good moving pictures. One may travel to the four corners of the earth with them. A good film s}mwing the best up-to-date methods 6f agriculture would have a tre- mendous value in the rural community. ) We predict that in a very short time such community entertainments will be realities. e O——— s WET AND DRY WAR NOT GVER. Some people arc continually wondering why there is so much contraband booze floating around a country that has adopted national prohibition. i They shouldn’t wonder. The answer is very simple. . Money—influence—human "nature. 4 ' The world was not made in an hour, and neither can it be revolutionized in a day. Since the infantile days of the republic the warfare be- tween the wets and the drys has been waging with undimin- ished fury. It will continue to be waged for many years to come. , 5 Millions of men have become accustomed from long habit to their daily drink of intoxicating liquor. Oftimes it hgs been many drinks a day. 'To deprive them of it is like taking opium away from a dope fiend. . Many men will go to any lengths or expense in order to secure the liquor their system craves, and others will run any risk in order to ‘wet rich quickly in supplying it. Some officials are honestly endeavoring to .enforce the law, while olther are antenable to “influence,” are more politic- ally “politic,” and are plainly side stepping their sworn duty. To completely suppress the contraband liquor traffic would require an army of prohibition agents as large as the American expeditionary force, and another army to watch the agents. A lot of little fellows in the illicit trade will be convicted and punished, but the really big fellows—the brains and top- notchers—will more likely go free, at least as long as a certain stamp of public officials place the value of the vote above that of country.

CAMPIGNING WITH ', GOVERNOR JAMES COX ; By Herbert Walker v (United Press ‘Staff Correspondent with Governor Cox) Weather men as a rule must be democrats. During the first two months of Governor Cox’s vigorous stump campaigning, only twice -was rain encountered, although the nom- inee travelled from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. 'Having the weatherman on his side was a big as- set, as approximately 75 per cent of the Democratic candidate’s speeches were made in the open air. e rain of the first two months came at Spokane and afain at Seattle and Tacoma, local democrats there hastening to explain that the rain season was just beginning. Snow was ehcountered in Wyoming, but it did not interfere with meetings, as all there were scheduled for indoors. Not once during all his travel and speeches has Governor Cox departed from his practice of wearing a plain business suit. ‘He has attended fash- ionable dinners and receptions where full dress suits have been in evidence, but the governor doesn’t have one in his traveling wardrobe. “And I'don’t intend to,” he said. The same principle applies .to the food which the Democratic candidate eg, according to John Stephen- n, chef of the private car, “Feder- al”, used by Cox on all his tours. “He wants plain simple food, and has told me to leave off all the fancy frills,” the chef said. ‘“‘Rice pudding is one of his favorite desserts, but the engineers seem to be prejudiced against this dish. .Twice I have.lost a pan full of pudding because the train took a curve tpo fast. The governor’s standard Dbreakfast con- sists of fruit, cereat eggs with ham or.bacon, toast and coffee.” Cox attributes his good health in large measure to his practice of eat- ing simple foou. When he attended banquets he invariably passed up the fancy food. 0 _“As a result,” he said, “I felt fine during all my 'travels.’” * ! 1f Governor Cox is elected presi- deut, dentists from the Atlantic to the Pacific may hang out this sign: ‘“The President’s Dentist.” Just' before the Governor started his western tour, he broke off a tooth on the seed of a blue plum. It could ndt befixed before his train left, and as a resut, “the damage” had to be big swing around the circle. Chi- cago, St. Paul, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, lLos Angeles, Omaha, and.

At Wichita, his dentist took some of the gloom of a dental visit by telling the Gov- ernor he had “flopped from Harding to Cox.” | “\What's Your Hurry?” 2t10-25 EDUCATIONIN U. S.

But Spur is the only cigdrette— note that word only—that has the crimped seam. No moisture as when you roll a cigarette—no paste as used by other ‘makers. Crimping makes Spur dfiw easier, bum slower, taste better. Looking at _crimped. not pasted Whats all thisitalk about Crimping? a Spur will give you the idea—and smoking one will give you the result. - And of course everybody knows that Spurs are blended from choice’ Turkish, fine Burley and other home- grown tobaccos.
