SEEK INFORMATION OH ARGENTINE CORN
fcnaeni Get Analysis Made For Agent Cobb At Experiment Station. t 8teM a Xicbtnoad nu, wnlmg a farm near Wllliannburg, contracted for a carload of Argentina corn at 46 aanta a bushel, Wayne county farm on bane written, telephoned an called personally on A. D. Cobb seeking Information on the imported seed. An analysis made by Mr. Cobb at the Indiana experimental station shows the corn to have a greater nutrltWe valve than Indiana corn. Since native corn is selling at 60 cents, the imported article would mean a saving to cattle feeders if It proves satisfactory. Prof. A. T. Wiancko of the Indiana experimental station, advised County Agent Cobb to have the corn thoroughly tested by using It exclusively as feed and making a comparison between Argentine and Indiana corn fed cattle, before recommending it to fanners. He tested ten ears of Indiana dent corn at Mr. Cobb's request and returned a comparative scale today. The letin part, and the comparison of the corn follows: "You will see that the Argentine corn is extremely low in moisture, which makes the other constituents relatively high. It is undoubtedly richer than our corn, but the fact it is so extremely hard probably offsets this to a large extent, and it may be possible that when fed whole, less of the nutriment contained would be sesecured than in the case of a softer native corn. It would be a good thing if cattle feeders would take up the question and make a comparison. "A. T. WIANCKO, "Chief of Soils and Crops Dept." Constituents: Argentine. Indiana.

Madam, if your husband is like most men he expects you to look after the health of yourself and children. Coughs and colds are the most common of the minor ailments and are most likely to lead to serious diseases. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when It has a cold. If you will inquire into the merits of the various remedies that are. recommended for coughs and colds, you will find that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy stands high in the estimation of people who use it. It is prompt and effectual, pleasant and safe to take, which are qualities especially to be desired when a medicine is intended for children. For sale by all dealers. f A1 vert isomer. t

HOW THIN PEOPLE CAN PUT ON FLESH
A New Discovery Thin men and women that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night, Vhat became of all the fat-producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your, body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and Heed reconstruction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles gives the blood the car- , tying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body. Sargol, too, mixes with your food and prepares It for the blood in easily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of fix of the best fleshjjiuducing elements known to chemistry. Tbey come 0 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and Leo H. Fihe and all other druggists in Riohmond and vicinity ell them subject to an absolute guarantee of weight lacreaae or moner Aacfc

The "dry" territory in the United States has increased rapidly within "the past five years. The Anti-Saloon League makes the official' statement that 71 per cent of the entire country Is now "dry" territory. The reports of the United States Internal Revenue department show the following increase in the production of distilled spirits: 1909139,891,613 gallons.
1910 163,893,960 gallons. 1911 183,355,527 gallons. 1912 187,571,808 gallons. Gain in production of distilled liquor whiskey, gin, brandy, and wines in the four years 47,670,195 gallons! Now will S. Edgar Nicholson and his "dry" army deny that the consumption of whiskey and the products of distilleries has increased in direct proportion to the increase of "dry" territory? They have been yelling for "facts". What do they offer to explain that fact? Prof. Elbert Russell, who succeeded me on the payroll of the Item as editorial writer, very generously contributes some fiction regarding my management of that plant which will be dispelled in due season, and also some fiction regarding the liquor situation in Richmond, which I will take up right now. The fiction he contributes on the liquor question is: "Mr. Gordon's first effort indicates that he thinks the liquor problem is the same as it was in 1909. He does not seem to know that in this respect, too, times changed. In 1909 his apparent influence on the result of- the election was largely due to conditions in Richmond and the country at large that have since passed away. At that time we had failed to convict three notorious blind tigers, and many believed that we should wait until the law against blind tigers was strengthened before voting out the saloons." Well, what has Prof. Russell said to convince anyone that conditions are not exactly the same as they were in 1909, when this city went sane by a majority of 1800? In what respect have times changed, or the liquor problem in Richmond changed? The issue then was strictly regulated saloons vs. crooked "blind tigers" and whiskey drug stores. That is the issue now. The saloons then were obeying the law; they were not the "dumps" that saloons were in cities elsewhere in the. state that voted dry. The saloons are obeying the law, and they have been obeying the law every minute of the past five years. That condition is the same now as it was in 1909. This community had failed to convict three notorious blind tigers five years ago, and it has failed to convict a single blind tiger since then, although the "dry" townships of this county are filled with them. Many then believed before we closed the orderly, regulated, law-abiding, public saloon where the sale of liquor was under the strictest surveillance, we should first get a law that would make such a move effective by preventing a hundred "blind tigers" springing up where only fifty saloons had been. The laws have not been changed since then, so the belief still exists. It was a belief then; the experience of such places as New Castle with "blind tigers" makes it amount to a conviction now. It is now known that under our "blind tiger" laws it is impossible to secure a conviction of these whiskey-selling, youth-destroying hell-holes that follow in the wake of "dry" victories. Prof. Russell is confident conditions have changed since 1909. Well, they have in one respect, but we give Prof. Russell credit of being ignorant of the change, in order not to accuse him of being a hypocrite regarding the change. If he will go to the Pennsylvania station three nights a week between the hours of 10:30 p. m. and midnight, he will see something he couldn't have seen in 1909. He will see from a car load to a car load and a half of whiskey come into the station by express from Ohio distilleries. He will see this whiskey unloaded and piled as high as the cases will stand on express trucks. If he cares to examine the cases he will find they are consigned to "dry" towns and cities in Indiana. If he will be at the station in the morning when the local trains pull out of the station he will see these cases start on the last leg of their journey to communities in this state that did what Richmond is now being asked to do voted out the licensed saloon and voted in the whiskey joint! We suggest that it is Prof. Russell who is not conversant with the conditions in Richmond. If the fact this community couldn't convict "blind tigers" in 1909 was sufficient to cause men to stop and think before they opened the door to "blind tigers", that fact pleads doubletongued for consideration now. It has been impossible to secure the conviction of a single "blind tiger" in the last five years where the party accused made a defense. Does Prof. Russell remember the cases against Dr. Kerr, of Greensf ork ? Does he
remember the cases against Clyde Lundy, of Centerville? Is he going to shut his eyes to the two fires that nearly wiped out the thriving village of Greensfork, both of which were the outcome of "blind tigers" ? Is he going to overlook the Dublin cases where boys were plied with liquor by boot-leggers, boys who couldn't have bought a drink at any bar in a Richmond saloon? On the other hand, what has been the record against the licensed saloons in Richmond, which Prof. Russell is aiding S. Edgar Nicholson to close? In that time one saloon keeper was charged with selling liquor to minors, and because he was operating under a law that is specific, he was promptly and easily convicted. And what is more, that fact forced him out of bus-
16 South Fifth
iness. In that time the bar tender of another salon keeper, who is no longer in business, was convicted of selling liquor to a minor under very extenuating circumstances that is, the minor didnt look like a minor. There is the record of the two kinds of liquor-selling to1 iness in this county in five years. Yet Prof. Russell would drive out the licensed saloon keeper who has obeyed the law, or, in two instances where he did not, gone out of business, and he would invite the establishment of the whiskey-selling "blind tiger" and drug store which the law cannot reach, and which makes especial prey of boys ! Because of his attitude he congratulates htmoetf upon -being a good citizen and Pharisacially commiserates me because I havo fallen to such a poor estate that I prefer the regulated sale of liquor in orderly saloons that are within the easy reach of the law, rather than the unregulated debauchery of the lind tiger". If Prof. Russell is satisfied with his espousal of wtiiskey joints, be it far from me to question his code of morals as he has mine I Already, the Anti-Saloon League paid official and national secretary, S. Edgar Nicholson, is trotting out the stale and stinking sophistry "Get the licensed saloon out now and then we will attend to the blind tiger." Yes, that is what Judge Blair, the Portsmouth, Ohio, "dry" speaker told the people of Richmond fire years ago but today Judge Blair is attorney for blind tigers down in Ohio, and the people of Richmond still have the same, crippled, inadequate, farcical law they had five years ago. Did you ever hear of an Anti-Saloon League speaker or paid official sticking around after saloons were closed to give of their time or money or eloquence in an endeavor to drive out "blind tigers"? Not much! If they did and should prove successful they would be out of a job and the 600 odd paid officials and itinerant agitators of that organization aren't working themselves out of a job! Their organization is correctly and accurately labeled the Anti-Saloon League. It is not the Anti-Liquor league, nor the Temperance and Sobriety league, nor the Anti-Whiskey league, nor the Anti-Blind-Tiger league. It is their business to close the licensed saloon and then go away leaving the rum-joints in their wake. These conditions disgust people and cause a return to the licensed saloons, and that gives the Anti-Saloon League a chance to "come back" and re-save the community ! And so on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam! Prof. Russell admits that five years ago it was the fear of the blind tiger that persuaded people to keep the saloon. What has he done since then to eliminate that fear? What has the Anti-Saloon League done to eliminate it? All over the state five years ago the same fear existed, and since then cities that went "dry" have realized it. But have the Anti-Saloon League forces turned a wheel since then to get a virile "blind tiger" law? Have the "drys" of this city done anything in five years to get a "blind tiger" law? If these advocates of voting out the licensed saloon are so cock-sure of their public-sentiment-creating ability, why haven't they created enough public sentiment in the past five years in this county to secure a jury conviction of blind tigers? Might it not be well for them to give some evidence of their strength and sincerity in this regard before we join them in turning the sale of whiskey over to the blind tiger? Might it not be the part of wisdom for the people to keep the licensed saloon which they know they can regulate until the Anti-Saloon League makes good and proves its sincerity by putting a real blind tiger law on the statute books? Wnen they do that, when they have demonstrated to this community that blind tigers can be convicted and they cannot exist and that voting out the licensed saloon really means the prohibition of the sale of liquor when they have done that, then there will be some consistency in their fight and some sincerity in their claim that they are fighting for temperance.. . As it now stands, the Anti-Saloon League paid official and secretary says "The way to drive blind tigers out is to drive them in so that the public may learn how dangerous they are!" Oh, matchless logic! Oh, irresistible appeal! Innoculate the children with diphtheria in order to teach the parents the value of anti-toxin! Spread the smallpox in order to demonstrate the wisdom of vaccination! Bring about a pestilence in order to emphasize the need of sanitation ! Get bit by a mad dog in order to prove the hair will cure the bite! Voting out the licensed saloon in order to get blind tigers, in order to arouse public sentiment, is like the doctor who threw all of his patients into a fit because he said he could cure fits!
j It certainly must be true, as Prof. Russell stated, that "the present j movement to dry up the city is organized by seasoned politicians" : for none except a seasoned politician, an Anti-Saloon League poii- . tician at that, would conceive that the way to secure temperance is to stop the drinking of beer by the glass and to encourage the. ; drinking of whiskey by the quart in order to multiply the horIrible examples of drunkenness! None except a seasoned Antii Saloon League politician would don the garb of morality and temj perance. and make the bald proposition that if the people of this
community win neip mm uncnain tne wind, ne will, all in due season and to suit his own convenience, chain the whirlwind. The best proof of the emptiness, absurdity and insincerity of this promise to find ways of preventing blind tigers and whiskey drug stores, if the people will only first vote out the licensed saloon, is the fact that five years ago these same people made the same promise, and they haven't turned a wheel in that time to redeem their promises, although they have had friendly men at the head of the city and county government to whom they could have appealed and nothing stood in the way of their demonstrating their ability to arouse public sentiment except their own moral inertia.
