Charter Member The i.elans League of Home Dailies Its wonderful how rapidly you can build up a snug sum If you join a savings dub and regularly deposit a certain amount each week. It has been the basis for many a fortune. Reports from Detroit say there was more drinking there on New eve than any time since the 1 Volstead act became a law, lint less violations of law, which is an- ■ oilier problem we give up. Senator Borah seems to have 1 discovered that Mr. Hoover's 1 statement that “prohibition is a * noble experiment,” was just anoth- • ii ciever campaign statement by f a propagandist who can propagand. f g" ■■ You can pay your subscription t to the Daily Democrat any time it t is convenient the next couple of 1 months but the sooner you do it, I ll\i better we will feel and the more effort we can put on getting out a newsy newspaper. -• To the youngster the next Christ- i nips and New Years seems a long, ldtig way off in the future but we i older folks realize it will speed ; around almost before we get a good breath. So there is no time to lose if we are going to make this a better year than last. Home congressman has had the nerve to introduce a "light wine and beer" measure in congress, it is not expected to get far but it will line up the wets and drys and is probably just the starter. You may expect to hear of similar bills now In each congress for years to come.

More than six thousand people shook hands with President and Mrs. Hoover on New Years day and they probably still feel the effects of It, that is the Hoovers. X bow and a howdy would do just as well, but so many folk 3 wish tln» honor of having grr.sped the hands of the chief and hits wife. While there are no cases of “Pinal meningitis here it is well lo be careful for there arc a num1W of epidemics in the state and the ruses this year are even more fa'aj than usual. A gargle of salt water, a tablespoonful to a pint of water Is recommended with liberal use of an atomizer to kill the jferms. ' l; >K business is wise. They plan to spend more for advertising the next few months than ever before In history. Realizing that a slump in oil they advertise to keep up production and after they have done that they will continue to advertise to hold it. The merchants In every community could follow their plan with advantages In the wuy of profit. Senator Smoot has introduced an act in the United States senate to give the food and drug department arbitrary control over all advertising of food and drug articles. Just what business II is of Smoots what is advertised or by whom so long as it is passable under the

“fake advertising" act, has not been made public but there Is probably a ' uigrer lu the wood pile’’ somewhere. From Detroit comes the suggestion that traffic caaulatles can be lessened by flooding the streets and permitting the water to freeze. Seems silly but this guy proves by the fact that during seven days when the streets of Detroit were sheets of ice there was not a casualty, due to tile fact that both drivers and pedestrians were careful and if it works in Detroit it will work any where In the world. A scientist Ht the recent Des Moines convention arose and solemnly announced that the “revolt of youth.” usually begins during the high school age. At that point, he said, a young person begins to be irked by authority, and takes up arms against it. This conclusion, he added, was gained as a result of studies made of some thousands of public school and college youngsters. Maybe it's all very scientific, but we insist that the gentleman doesn't know what lie's talking about. The revolt of youth begins just as soon as the youth in question is able to crawl around the floor. If you've ever tried (o get a dish of spinach down a child of three who didn't want to eat it, or tried to induce a toddler to go np to bed when that toddler had otter ideas on the subject, you'd know at once what we mean. — Frankfort Morning Times.

According to the results of a survey conducted by the home L-ei <'i*usuu»M4t partm£Ut of one of the nation's largest business houses, farm boys and girls are more satisfied with their lot than are any other young people in the world. Three-quarters of a million young persons residing on farms were questioned as to their plans foi file future. Ninety-three per cent of the girls, replied they intended to remain the country and over SO per cent of the boys had made plans for careers in the rural districts. The information coming out of this survey is widely at variance with what has been quite generally believed in recent years—namely, that the farms were being deserted by youth at such a rate that within no great length or time the rural sections would be only sparsely populated. There are plenty of statistics to suppoit tiie reports of the movement of population from city to country.— Houston Post-Dispatch.
