Dr. Bascom Anthony Has New Idea
For Populariiing
Prohibition.

quor everyone want* for a week, dis
tributed at cost by all filling sta
tions in the country, ;s Dr. Ba.vern
Anthony's idea of the best way to
popularize prohibition.
"If I were King Bavom Anthony,
1 nperial dictator or these United
States," the 75-year-o>d supeian
nuated circuit-rider of the Metho
dist church. South, told a Baptist
congregation here. ‘U‘d let every
body have all they a anted for a
week and then issue a statement
that I would do the same thing in
ten years. I would be so besieged
with petitions that there never
would be any more doubt that the
prohibition law is a good thing.”
Although he expressed belief that
talk of "necking, drinking and wom
en smoking" is exs "crated, and
quoted figures to show that "less
than ontenth of one per cent of
co-educattonal studTis are disci
plined for drinking,” he admitted
that the "wets have had the better
of us for the past two or three
years.”
"A lot Is charged to us by the wet
press that ought not lo be charged
to us,” he said. ■‘The crime wave,
for example, is a reaction from the
World war. The government shows
us by figures on millions of men
whose intelligence wa* tested that
over 75 per cent of the men in this
country are sixteen and less under
the hatches. So the gieat bulk of us
have to be governed by custom. We
just run in ruts. War breaks up all
these ruts and the woild has to wear
some new ones.”

Springfield, 111.—-A little-known
document lies in the files of the
:ounty clerk of Sangamon county
here. It reads:
"Springfield, Wednesday, March
5, 1833.
"Ordered that William F. Berry,
In the name of Berry and Lincoln,
have a license to keep a tavern in
New Salem . .... . ”
That yellowed piece of paper is
one of the few records of an inter
esting phase of the career of Abra
ham Lincoln, whose 122nd anni
versary is being observed with cere
monies at many of the Lincoln
shrines in this vicinity, including
the restored village of New Salem.
The document broadens the ca
reer of one of America’s foremost
presidents to include that of tav
ern keeper, for the Lincoln of
"Berry and Lincoln" was Honest
Abe. And that incident contributed
much to the Justification of the
title. '
As one of the settlers of the lit
tle prairie town of New Salem, Lin
coln became associated with Beery
in general merchandising. New Sal
em failed to prosper, and ho doubt
there was talk of the "depression”
then as now.
So Beery and Lincoln entered up
on the keeping of a tavern. They
were allowed, under their license,
these rates:
“Breakfast, dinner or supper, 23
cents; lodging, per night, 12 1-2
cents; horse, per night, 25 cents;
single feed, 12 1-2 cents; breakfast,
dinner or supper for stage passen- j
3ers ,37 1-2 cents.”
Whether or not these prices were
too low to permit a profit, it was
not long until Lincoln sold his in
terest in the enterprise to Beery
and when Berry died a short time
later, bankrupt, Lincoln assumed
and paid their obligations.
The tavern-keeping marked al
most the end of that trail of hunt
and seek for a career that finally
; led him to the White House. Prior
to the New Salem experience, Lin
coln had been a farm hand, rail
splitter, river boatman, grocery
clerk and student. When he left the
struggling prairie village, he enter
ed law and politics, a new career
that took him to the highest honors
in America.
Lincoln’s tavern-Keepmg experi
ences have been overshadowed by
his great accomplishment in gov
ernmental administration. But many
of his admirers like to think of the
great man in his temporary roles as
the Jolly host, greeting his guests at
the tavern door, lighting their way
to their rooms or guiding them to
tables heaped high with the plain
fare of the prairie pantry.
Among the places that are visited
by thousands of persons is the Lin
coln and Beery store in New Salem
which has been restored to its ap
pearance in its noted owner's day.
STAR AD VS. PAYS
Spain’s Hope?
Belief that King Alfonso of Spain
is considering the summoning of
a constitutional convention in an
effort to solve the grave political
I crisis of his kingdom grew In
1 Madrid following a statement by
Count de Romanones (above),
prominent Liberal leader after he
had conferred with the King. It
is believed Romanones will play
an important part in the selection
of a new Cabinet.

And IS Bushels of Wheat
Livestock Interest.
The 26 638 rural boys and girls
enrolled In the 4-H clube organised
and conducted by extension workers

able share In improving acre yields
of food and feed crops and In han
dling livestock for better profits last

L. R. Harrill. state club leader,
says for example, that there were
1,461 club members with com pro
jects. Of this number 1,001 members
completed their work and made re
ports. These boys and girls grew
1,203 acres of corn producing 49,467
bushels or an average yield of 49,4
bushels an acre and compared to
the 20.9 average aero yield for the
state as a whole.
The average yield of wheat grown
by 29 club members was 16.8 bush
els an acre. The average yield per
acre of Irish potatoes grown by 127
members reporting was 141 bushels
as compared with the state average
of 08. The average acre yield of
sweet potatoes grown by 79 club
members reporting was 159 bushels
an acre as compared with the state
average of 07 bushels. With cotton,
322 club members produced an aver
age yield of 676 pounds of lint an
acre as compared with an average
for the state last year of 233 pounds
Mr. Hiurill Is especially pleased
with the Increased interest In the
livestock clubs. He spys 1,040 club
members were enrolled In dairy calf
work last year with 802 members
completing their projects. These
boys und girls had 802 animals.
There were also 1,200 club members
enrolled tn the pig project and 806
reported though It was impossible to
get a complete record of all pigs
handled. However, 27 club members
reported on their sheep projects
showing 130 animals handled. With
poultry, 1,278 members out of 2.228
members enrolled, reported on their
projects showing 43,783 birds han
dled.
