DON'T BE A FOOL! Bottles, labels, even government stamps, no longer mean anything. All are counterfeited and used to disguise poison. Words mean nothing since the bootI?gger is a rascal and yc.ur frivnd may be deceived. The private ttocks are about gone. Anything offered jou as liquor, no matter where or by whom, is likely to be o recent origin, bogus, adulterated, prisonous, dangerous. The poisons are of many kinds, some quick acting, some slow. Touch the stuff and you may lese your health, your mind, your sight, your life, three or four years hence if not now. The only safety lies in leaving it strictly alcne. It is not a quest iou of whether you "believe in prohibition." It has nothing to do with principals, morals, law or politics. It is a matter of plain, common sense. Don't be a fcol, advises the Cleveland Press. '

JOHN BULL GETTING NERVOUS. The vigorous policy of Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board in meeting foreign competition on thesea is having its effect. Dispatches frcm London indicate that British shipping interests are much perturbed over the situation. .The announced desire of president Harding to secure legislation from congress autborizinz the payment of a subsidy to American ship owners, coupled with the prcposal to convert scrapped American battleships into commercial vessels, has brought home to the British the need of additional aid fiora their government if they wish to maintain their present standing in maritime commerce. It is reported that the mayors of several English rlties have taken the matter up among themselves, and tare proposed the construction of transatlantic liners of 3 3 knots speed that wouid make the crossing in three days. They are also to be the last word in luxury In modern ocean travel. American commerce may suffer tome less if the plan is put into execution, but the

MEXICO'S OPPORTUNITY. Notwithstanding dire prophecies of exhaustion of the Mexican oil Gelds, the great wells In Obregonland are producing more than ever before and shipments out of Mexico are of record breaking volume. Slightly less than 2o per cent of the world's production of petroleum is coming from the small area that ha been drilled. Were the flow to stop, and no cne familiar with the field expects it to last more thana few months, the world would face a serious condition. In the scram bl.j for supplies by industries shipping in particular, prices would be bid up and - still many needing oil would have to go without. But, no one can speak with assurance with respect to the life of the Mexican wells. Experimentation has proved the possibility of prolonging production aftere epparance of salt water. Wells that were about given up some months ago have been kept producing and the intelligent "stripping" of pools premises profitable yield for some months to come. Experts agree that if the several oil companies drawing upon one pocl would agree as to the amount each should take daily from the underground vault all might remain in business a considerable time. But investments there have been so heavy that each one wishes to get back as much as possible in the shortest time. The only agreement Is that exhaustion soon is inevitable. Enormous as has been the production of Mexican oil well and huge as have been the profits some companies have taken out, millions of investment will be lost unless there is an extension cf the developed area permitting continued usa of the great plants which have been erected. Plans for exploration are announced from time to time, but actual work of this sort is held in abeyance. In this particular Mexico differs from every other oil producing country. Geologists have found indications of petroleum over large areas of Mexico. The man who made the furct investigations about 50 years ago, expresses the opinion that, notwithstanding the enormous output there, the country ts virtually virgin territory. All experience warrants confidence that the Mexican fields could be vastly extended by the driil. The world needs the oil and capita has the courage to seek it. All that obstructs is the Mexican government's policy. If it would give the oil companies a fair chance they and it would prosper prodigiously.
