Potatoes offered by growers for price support will be subject to a service fee of one cent per hund red weight but in no case less than $3.00 to take care of inspection, storage, and other loan servicing.

We have been promised 'rain for several days now and nothing happens except In scattered spots. As we go to press Father Nep tune has given us the smile. Light rains have fallen pretty generally over the county; LIQUOR - About the most cUsscd and discussed subject today, except Russia, is whiskey. The drys want prohibition. The wets want liquor . stores but wont admit it-Most of them probably would go to the polls and vote dry. Funny thing about the drinker, particularly the moder-v ate drinker, be or she thinks no one . knows they have had. drink. When " the truth is everyone knows kt Liquor is here, always has been here and always will be here; Thou- , sands of panaceas and cures for the liquor problem have been offered. The now highly vaunted Alcholics Anonymeus is 'supposed to be a sure cure.. A scientist, or psychiatrist in -a Northern institution has discover ed that by treating the patient with : oxygen he can be cured. ' ' ' There seems to be a general ad- " mission among authorities who are supposed to know that chronic drinkers are victims of a disease and must be approached in this respect. In our opinion a little more com mon sense and less talk will do more good than anything we have tried. On the street corner you hear ' the subject discussed. In every mag- azine you pick up you find a story about it. On the radios it is broad- ' cast' from morning to night and probably in .most homes, around the youngsters, it is also discussed. Ministers lament forth about it in . the pulpits and the daily and "week ly, press expound on its evils all too frequently, it is -onjfte -screen Ldaily? isn't it somewhat a part of one's , nature to develop : an interest in Isomethine that is called to their.' attention eternally? We, are "taught that we are weak and subject to. temptation. The power of suggest- ion being as strong as it is, lures many, a youngster to take bis first , drink, whereas if he or she had heard less about it little thought probably would have been given to it. The drys yell that we give too little thought to the problem. I'm ' afraid we give too much thought to it when we think out loud so frequently. ;''.":-'V; If we cut out the press publicity, -cut out the magazine stories, take it off the radio and screen, take it from the pulpit, cut out liquor ad vertising, slow down the WCTU and other organizations that are spreauing the story of John Barley- corn, continue the fight against bootleggers and have controlled legalized sales, with a minimum of fanfare the liquor problem will be gin to show signs of easing up. As the old saying goes, the more you stir trouble the more it grows.
