Already we bear that plans are under way to convince the American people that tobacco should follow suit What about it? Is it a parallel cage? Ought we who have strongly favored the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks to use our influence also for the prohibi tion of the growing and sale of tobacco? We do not think so. It is not a par - elle Whoa heird of k' min crimmi n g. murder or rape or felonious assault "while under the influence of—t.ohacco'?'' Who ever heard of R m'an's children going without shoes because he spent all his money on—tobacco? Who ever heard of a woman's ruin mads possible because she had been .`plied with tobacco?" Who ever heard of half a dozen men sitting round a table of an evening and, each r ane of them cntti►pelle4 to smoke air cigara before he quit, in order that. each one might have an opportunity to treat'1 Who ever saw s man so much a slave to tebaeen that if he anioked three cigar.

Who ever heard of a wife and child- ren dreading the husband and father's return on Saturday night because he was sure to have smoked toot much as soon as he got his pay envelope? Smoking may be an unwise habit. It is unquestionably bad for the immature. The non-smoker may be healthier, more thrifty, more pleasing to the senses of his near associates, more efficient, longer lived. Rut we de not believe that the smoking of tobacco is such a menace to society that the• maces supply of the "weed' shnnld be kept from him by the force of gov- ernmental action. That is precisely what we have believed --and do believe '--about the drinking of alcohol. But not about tobacco. That is another story. 1 e Better than Pills I GET A For Livcr {ll 25C BOX tl G*rsst Armstrong, Druggist. THE CREATES, WHEAT CROP EVER Tie forecast is for ,000,000 bush- els of winter wheat in the United States this year, the Largest crop ever grown, and over twice as much as the crop two years ago. The spring crop, it is predicted, will add 300,000,000 bushels to this total, making the value of the year's wheat $2,500,000,000. ' The figures in themselves are etimu Wing. But they gain further interest from the speculation as to how much of that $2,500,000,000 the Government will have to pay. Under the hill passed by Congress in the closing days of the hist _session the Government is obliged- to bligedto pay the difference between the guaran- teed price of $2.26 a bushel and the world market price for every bushel of winter and spring wheat produced. It is too early yet to estimate the numerous factors influencing the world market price, such as the production in ,Argentina, Aieeteieliaread.ebber countries and the European demand. There will probably he enough foreign need to use lilt the surpltis of American wheat, and the opinion expressed in Washington these d,Lys is that, while the loss, to the Governnient through its price guarantee might mount into the millions of dollars so far as the actual wealth of the coun- try was concerned, it would simply be taking money from one pocket and put - ting it into another. ' The money will go into the pockets of the farmer., and the forecast indicates that farmers will be more prosperous and possess greater Potential buying power than ever before in the history • of the ccmntry The large amount farmers would recti ve or this wheat, therefore should find Its way back quickly into circulation, thus adding to the general prosperity of the nation —New York Independent.
