REA80N8 FOR RATIFYING.
Among seven reasons given by
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel (or the
Anti-Saloon league, why states should
ratify the prohibition amendment are
these:
A national evil requires a national
remedy. Our interstate relations and
the inherent, vicious character of the
traffic make It a national evil. The al-
coholic may drink liquor in one state
and commit crime or become a public
charge In another. The remedy must
be as far-reaching as the evil. Stute
boundaries are not adequate barriers
to moral contagion and no state, care-
less in such mutters, should be per-
mitted to dump its drunks and other
derelicts over the border line for a
neighboring state to care for.
It will result in team work between
the state and nation In dealing with
the liquor traffic. The dry states are
handicapped in their efTort to euforce
prohibition as long as the federal gov
eminent continues to collect revenue
from, and recognizes the outluwed-traf-
flc In, such states. Natlonul prohibi-
tion unites the state and federal gov
eminent In a common policy for the
public good.
The purposes oif the federal govern
meut can be more easily consummated
under national prohibition. One of the
fundamental punw>ses of the federal
constitution is "to promote the general
welfare." The courts tell us this means
to protect public health and public
morals. The liquor traffic uudermines
or destroys both. We cannot carry out
the fundamental purpose of our gov-
ernment If we foster, protect and en-
courage crime-producing business, like
the beverage liquor traffic.
WHAT NATION-WIDE PROHIBI
TION MEANS.
From the noise that is made about ft
among the wets, one might think pro-
hibition meant murder.
It doesn't.
It simply means more food, and that
means lower food prices.
It means more efficient labor, and
that means greater output, and that
means lower prices again.
It means that the men who are now
making beer and whisky will begin to
make the equivalent of what they con-
sume, and that, again, means lower
prices for you.
It means more car space for legitl
mate commodities, and that means
faster handling of freight, and that
means lower prices.
It means more ship tonnage to be
used in transporting material for our
boys In France and for our allies, and
that means not only lower prices for
our allies, but the lives of American
boys saved for America.
Incidentally, it means less "crime,
and that means less taxes. It meaps
less pauperism, and that means less
taxes. It means less Insanity, and
that means less taxes. It means less
disease and death, and that means In-
finite myriads of things for the good
old U. S. A—Board of Temperunce,
Methodist Episcopal Church.
COMPENSATION FOR THE BREW
ER8.
As an example of how a brewery
plant may become a constructive In-
stead of a destructive agency—a "wln-
the-war" aid—we mention the Belling-
ham (Wash.) brewery. This is now
owned by the Royal Dairy Products
company and is equipped as a con
densery and cold storage plant. Many
similar cases might be cited. In wet
Ltates, also, brewers, seeing the sure
approach of prohibition, are remodel-
ing their plunts for better and bigger
business. The brewers are finding
•'compensation."
Incidentally It may be mentioned
that the glass works which formerly
made beer bottles yiay now turn Its at-
tention to the manufacture of milk bot-
tles. Ice cream may take the place of
the "schooner," and Instead of the
"growler" for the workman's noontide
lunch wHl be used the thermos bottle
of milk.

WOULD CUT PRI80N POPULATION
IN TWO.
"My experience on the state com-
mission of prisons," says Mr. Richard
Hurd of New York, "as well as my
study of crime In other states, makes
me confident that If wartime prohibi-
tion should be adopted the populntlon
of our prisons and Julls would be cut
In halves. As the total number of
men In prison In the United States
averages about BOO,000, this would re-
lease 2f>0.000 men for useful tasks. 1
would add that In making require-
ments for prison or Jail accommoda-
tions In different counties the state
commission of prisons takes official
cognisance of whether a county Is wet
or dry, requiring only about half the
accommodation for a dry county."
LESSON FOR JUNE 30
REVIEW: JESUS CHRIST OUR RE-
DEEMER AND LORD.
GOLDEN TEXT-For Ood ao loved tha
world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believe! h In him should not
perlah, but have everU^.ins life.—John I:
1«.
Thou art the Chrlat, the Son of the
living God.—Matthew 16:16.
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of
Chrlat, for It 1a the power of God unto
salvation to everyone thai belleveth.—
Romans 1:16.
The method of review must largely
be determined by the Individual teach
er. For Junior and Intermediate
classes a good way will be by the use
of a good map of Palestine, to trace the
Journeys of Jesus from his birth to his
ascension, giving emphasis to some of
his vital teachings, deeds of mercy
and power, atoning death, triumphant
resurrection and glorious coming
again. The following day may be
suggestive of the latter method:
Lesson I.—As Jesus was passing
through the coasts of Tyre and Sldon,
he was besought by a Syropboeniclan
woman to heal her daughter, who was
grievously possessed with a demon.
After apparent Indifference, In order
to lead her into an Intelligent faith,
he healed her daughter, As he further
Journeyed through Deenpolls, a deaf
and dumb man besought him for heal
Ing.
Lesion II.—As his earthly career was
approaching Its end, Jesus began to
take account of his ministry. He
wanted the disciples to have definite
and personnl knowledge as to his per-
son. He knew that the opinions of
others would not suffice them In the
hours of darkness which were Immedi
ately before them.
Lesson III.—Jesus was transfigured
before Peter, James and John, to show
them his triumph over death in his
glorious kingdom. This occurred at a
time when the disciples were sorely
tried. Jesus' rebuke apparently
estranged them. He was transfigured
"before them," showing that the chief
object of the transfiguration was to
prepare the disciples for the ordeal be-
fore them. An Inspired commentary
upon this translation Is found in n
Peter 1:10-19..
Lesson IV.—As Jesns was endeavor-
ing to show his disciples how he must
be crucified, they were disputing as to
who should be the greatest In the
kingdom. Jesus taught them that
humble, self-denying service is the
sign of true greatness. This Is a les-
son which needs to be learned by most
of us today, as despite our best efforts
we note Insidious self-seeking making
Itself known.
Lesson V.—A certain rich man In
quired of the Lord as to what he must
do In order to Inherit eternal life.
This young man was of an amiable
disposition and earnest and sincere,
but he had wrong notions ns to salva-
tion. Jesus showed him that his su-
preme need was not doing something
to be saved, but to be willing to sur-
render all things for him.
Lesson VI—While the Lord was
consciously facing the cross, the disci
pies were concerned about positions of
pre-eminence. Jesus taught them that
those who would follow him must not
seek for greatness or position, but to
render lowly service. In this Christ
Is the grand example. In due time he
will exalt those who in lowliness of
heart serve him.
Lesson VII.—Jesus drove out the
money changers from the temple, and
declared that the house of C.od should
be a house of prnyer Instead of a
house of merchandise. This lesson
needs to be learned by many churches
today.
Lesson VIII.—The scribes sought to
entrap Jesus by asking captious ques-
tions. To the question as to what was
the greatest commandment, he replied
that It was love to God with all one's
heart, soul, mind and strength. Since
this Is the first and great command-
ment. to violate this commandment Is
to be guilty of the greatest sin.
Lesson IX.—While Jesus sat at
meat, a certain woman annolnted him
with precious ointment In anticipation
of his burial. The Lord was pleased
with this act. for It was out of a heart
of fervent love that she lavished upon
him her best.
Lee on X.—In connection with the
Inst Passover, at which Judas betrayed
Jesus, the symbols which represent
the body and blood of Jesus were In-
troduced. in the emblems of the com-
munion we approprlnte the very life
nnd blessings of Christ.
Lessen XL—Jesus died between two
malefactors to make atonement for
the world's sin. He gnve his life
ransom for many. While on the cross,
they mockingly said he saved other*,
himself he could not aave.
Alfalfa In New Zealand.
The raising of lucerne or alfalfa In
New Zealand Is receiving much atten-
tion of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1017 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with a
total of 0 1-5 long tons per acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting 11% tons of Peruvian per acre,
12% tons of Polton, 14% tons of Rus-
sian. 12 tons of Spanish. 12 1-3 tous
of Hungarian, 14 tons of rntagonlan,
andl4% tons of Marlborough lucerne.
It Is estimated that the Patagonlan nnd
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
Into hay, would give an approximate
yield of 8% tons each, which at $19.40
per ton gives a total value of $08,13
per acre.
fj
The Lucky Horseshoe.
When I^ord French visited the little
county town of Oldham to inspect the
Rutlnnd volunteers, he found time to
leave a horseshoe on tho castle walls.
From time Immemorial the lord of
the manor has demanded a horseshoe
from every peer of the realm on his
first setting foot within the "lordship."
The custom is carefully kept up, und
the ever-increasing collection of horse-
shoes which hnng on the walls of the
hall of the castle numbers some 200,
ranging In size from that of the ordi-
nary rucer to the Brobdlngnnglan pro-
portions of a shoe seven feet long.—
London Chronicle.

Tho Malaria Mosquito
A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it is infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
mosquito will transmit malarial^ parasites to the
blood of a person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before they
have time to increase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.
