That letter h( wrote after two visits to the LV:..b J :.te.. “There are plenty of violations of j the prohibition laws in the United States. We are reminded of that un ceasingly, almost. But it is not the statement of undue optimism or of i partisanship to say that these viola tions are not interfering with the production of the industrial mechan ism of the country.

ROCKEFE LLEE, SI., SELLS j HIS DIFFERENT ESTATES TO SON I Something Over $3,- 090,000 in the Transaction A special from New York City says: Sale by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., of his estates at Pocantico Hills and at Lakewood, N. J., of his town house and Harare in New York City end hs winter home at Ormond, Fla., to j his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., for I a price “in excess of $3,000,000,” has been announced. The sale leaves one of the world’s wealthiest men without a home of his | own. The price paid for each parcel i of property sold was announced as bt -, ing in excess of the taxable value of the property. A representative o r the Rockefellers denied that the sale was made to es cape payment of inheritance taxes on the property. He said that the valu- 1 ntion had been reached by real estate experts. The sale did not decrease the wealth of Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., but constitut ed an exchange of cash and security for his real estate holdings. A government tax of $1,733.50 was imposed on the sale of the Pocantico Hills estate, which was made at a price of $1,73.3,500. The estate of more than 6,000 acres, is situated in the two towns of Mount Pleasant and Greenburg, N. Y.,and contains a priv ate nine-hole golf course for the use of Mr. Rockefeller, Sr. Mr. Rockefeller’s town property consisted of a house at Four West 51th Street, with a large garage on a seperate lot. The Lakewood estate, which is said to be Mr. Rockefeller’s favorite home/ is 600 acres in extent. A friend of the Rockefeller’s ex plained that the elder Mr. Rockefeller, I being burdened by years did not wish to> contnue the material task of look-1 ini' after his several homes. He will hovever, continue to use them. PUNK IN CENTER TO RE-OPEN i Mr. P. J. Brown announced the re ■ opening for Prnkin Center for «arly this week. Ho says that ho and Mr. W. M. Pinnoll have leased this popu lar summer resort and had already replacing the dancing pavilion. With one of the finest bodies of water in the State, a fine pavilion and good r.iutisio Punkin Center became one of the most popular amusement centers in this section of the State the past two years and the new management informs us that it will leave no'hing undone to make it exceed, if possible, its former popularity.

To some extent that has been an involuntary conserve.tion du<* to the high price of boot! ;g li<iuor. But it has been ef fective, and in a few years the work ing man is going to decide that pro hibition invades his liberty far less than liquor used to invade his pod;- j ct end hi: health. Already the trend in that direction makes the prospect of the *ep?al of prohibition a theme only for self-appointed and hired pro pagandists.” In this statement the News is en tirely c irt ect. The prohibition laws ■v • h ■:<• t stand. They are economi cally profitable. No nation in Europe i.-n ones not adopt prohibition can in the long run economically compete v i'll this country. If viewed purely from the economic standpoint, pro- j hibition is one of th“ wisest move.- I over made by this or any other coun try; hut more than that, it is a great | moral issue, for its enforcement means the saving of millions of peo- j pie from drunukenness and the pov erty which follows drunkenness.— E Manufacturer’s Record. i _! Odi! Species of Fish That Possess Lungs j We are so accustomed to think of \ fish breathing by means of gills that ; It Is difficult to Imagine a ‘ species * which have lungs and can breathe air like the higher land animals. These are the Dipnoi (meaning double- j breathers). At one time numerous, j j they are now almost extinct. There ; are three species of them. These are i found in different parts of the world j —one group in Queensland, another in j Africa, anu the third in South Amer ica They inhabit the tropical rivers. ! which, though full in the wet season, | I are parched til) when the heat comes, i During the dry season they bury them -1 selves in the mud of the river lie* and start to breathe air, which thej ( are able to do by means of a swim- ! bladder, similar in structure to our , own lungs, though naturally not sr highly developed. Their internal structure is certain ly illuminating. As well as In theii lung or swim-bladder, they show re -1 semblances to amphibians nd land vertebrates in the skull, heart, and blood vessels. In spite of these re semblances, however, it Is not certain that they are really a “missing link 1 * between fish and amphibians. It t* thought that the latter have been ' evolved through a different lino, even the lungs of land vertebrates being ■ of supposedly different origin to the lung of the Dipnoi. Grave Purpose Behind Writing of Fiction Universal nature, too strong for the petty fiber of the bard, sits on his neck and writes through his hand; so that when he seems to vent a mere caprice and wild romance the issue is an exact allegory. Plato said that “poets <| utter great and wise tilings which j they do not themselves understand.” All the fictions of the Middle ages ex plain themselves as a masked or frolic expression of that which in grave earnest the mind of that period toiled to achieve. Magic, and all that Is ascribed to 'it, is a deep presentment of the powers of science. The shoes of swiftness, the sword of sharpness, the power of subduing the elements, | es using the secret virtues of min erals, of understanding the voices of birds, are the obscure gropings of the mind in i right direction. The pre ternatural prowess of the hero, the gift of perpetual youth and the like are but the endeavor of the human spirit “to hend the shows of things to the desires of the mind.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson in “Essay on His tory.” Arkansas Diamonds The Arkansas diamond mine, in Pike county, lias produced several thousand diamonds equal in color to the best produced in other parts of the world and *1 per cent harder than the hard est from other parte of the world. In the Arkansas diamond mines the gems I have been found “in place." us the geologists put it, and nowhere else on; this hemisphere have they been so! found. The Arkansas mines are be- , I Ing worked only enough to pay over- j \ head, as the management has decided tliat the per load recovery of dia- i monds is not sufficient to justify the operation of the mines at this time. n fi /kbulon record, zebulon, n. c., july i 7 .1925 p■'TZ'xrpr’rjTirxfi fgatirs;. Change of | Life “When cha ige o' life began on me,” says Mrs. Lewis ; Lisher, of Lamar, Ml, “I ; i offered so with womanly weakness. I suffered a great J deal of pain in my back and sides. My limb- would cramp. , I didn’t feel like doing my • work, and there are so many ; steps for a woman to take on i a farm. I was very anxious S to get better. A friend rec ; ommended ! The Woman’s Tome ! to me and I began using it. i 1 certainly improved. I went | through change of life with i out any trouble. I can highly i recommend Cardui.” At the age of about 40 to | 60 every woman has to pass ; through a critical time, which is called the Change of Life. At this time, great changes I take place in her system, ! causing various painful and disagreeable symptoms. If you are approaching this period, or are already suffer ing from any of its troubles ! or symptoms, take Cardui. It should help you, as it has helped others.
