Most of the “wet” agitation of the last twq years has centered itself around prop- aganda for the modification of the Vol- stead law so as to permit the sale of light wines and beer. To demand a modification of this sort while the prohibbition amend- ment is still a part of the constitution is plainly non-sensical. ‘As it stands at pres- ent the constitution prohibits and is in- tended to prohibit the sale or manufacture of -intoxicating or alcoholic liquors. Any contention that wine and beer do not come under this category is plain bunk, and any man who has ever drunk either wine or-beer knows it to be.such. For the opponents of prohibition to seek by all proper methods to bring about the repeal of the prohibition amendment is entirely legitimate. They have the same right to agitate for that purpose that the ‘advocates of prohibtiion had to seek to bring about the passage of the amendment but to ask congress to legalize the sale of wine or beer is to ask that-body to over- ride the constitution, a thing it has no more right or power to do than any other body ‘of - citizens. . There is one way, and one way only by “Which the traffic in wine and beer can be made legal. That is by the repeal or mod- _ ification. of the present constitutional pro-: visions.:It can’t be done simply by act.of congress.—Ex. | s | TAKE YOUR PROFIT How often you have heard a man say, “I'm sorry I din’t sell it when I had the chance.” Very llkely you have said it your- self. The few who were wise sold out in 1918 and 1919. The many who were,foolish bought all they could. The many invaribly buy when prices are ‘dearest. They always have and they always vall]. They buy when everybody else is buying. But ‘many people who could have sold their property in:1918 and1919, held on, they refused to sell. Had they been wise they would have " sold: every scrap of property they possess- ed- Then'in 1922 they could have bought it all back at half what they got for it. And this is just the point I'want. to make clear—that in business the main thing ig profit, not the process, what ever that may be. 'hat is, if a grocer can make more money by selling his shop than he can by selling his groceries, he should sell his shop. Too many men are suspicious when they are offered a high price. They think, “If it is worth as much as that to him, it is worth it to me, :But this ,is the wrong attitude. The omt is that you must take every .wise hance to' make a quick sure profit. ind, you are- £ - You have learnsd how to make ] by initiative, by’ 1king, by planni !?“ ) g advantage of the swing of val Life is short. The ‘future is' uncertain; therefore, don’t waste any of ‘the oppor- tunities of the present. . Be quicker to cash in. Every little bit added.to what you’ve got, makes just one little ‘bit’ more —Herbert N. Casson in Forbes Magazme L —t % WHAT THE RICHEST BABY DID ‘About twenty years ago the newspapers were full ‘of stories about “the richest baby ‘#in'the world,” says the Rock; Island Arg- us. At the age of nine weeks the child in- he ed $5 000 000 from his f&ther and ten days later he got another $5,000,000 from the estate of his father’s brother. Later on other millions poured in, and at the age of 4 he had a steam yacht a farm where chickens and milk were raised es- pecially for his consumption, two trained nurses, three maids, a personal physician a valet, and a governess. Now, acording to all the tradltlons of a rough and Spartan Democracy, this pam- wered baby' ought to have come to some -bad ’&nd for every one knows that the. only -~ Ways$o reach true greatness in .America is to béborn poor, to split rails, study Web- esteé}spellmg book 'by the light of a pine knofzand ‘wear blue jeans, one gallus and no_ stockings. ! < However, it is.a painful duty at _this poi confess that the baby of twenty lowship for travel and study in Harvard the honor_by plain hard work. it appears therefore, to be true that you cannot keep infancy in needless luxury, and perhaps on the whole that is the better American doctrine. ‘ CUT BRUSH-SOW-CLOVER “The salvation for the Northern Minne- sotg farmer,” says County Agent Dvoracek “is, cut brush and sow clover.” Perhaps no better advice has been giv- gestion is especially appropriate - in this section, because up here every farmer can do ‘this much at least. Some haven’t the means to pull the stumps and put the land under plow, but most all of them can cut brush and sow clover seed, It means food. for cattle and the cow is the farmer’s best friend. From the feed you grow on brushed land, your cattle will produce dairy products that in turn will produce cash. The cash will buy dynamite and dynamite will blow stumps and you can start an endless chain of active land clearing. —f WHAT DOES AMERICA NEED? Let’s find out and tell the world. Here’s your chance, Mr. and Mrs. Reader to tell what you think America needs. Perhaps'- you. noticed by Monday’s Pioneer that several hundred papers throughout the United States will participate in this great nation wide sensing of opinion on national issues. Write 200 words or less to the editor as to what you think America. needs. It will be published, with or without your name and sent in to the N: E. A. where letters from all parts of the country will be coni- piled and tabulated. A summary will be Fifecs pubhshed once a week of their findings. s G : A FREE COUNTRY Eugene V. Debs is telling the world that America i not a free country, because it ' puts a citizen.in jail for saying what he ‘thinks—and-then added that he was proud not to be a citizen and despised and de- fied its laws. The very fact that he got by with the above statement, seems to us that this is a pretty free country after all. . Had he uttered these words in any other country on the'globe, what wquld the result. have been? Eugene, you're too old to spank you’ve been a “martyr” after a_ fashion and you ought to know better than to con- tinue making an ass of your self. — ; THE GAS BUSINESS ’ Only occasionally does the public awak- en to the importance of the gas mdustry to the country at large, says Ga: Three hundred and ‘twenty-six ic feet of manufactured £2as' Wi the United States. That tremendous amount of gas passed through.9,291,000 meters for use in connection with 7,040,000 cooking appliances, 8,800,000 mantle bumers and 1,268,000 gas heaters.
