Grapes continue to be the only fruit of considerable prom ise, as apples and pears show a further decline during the month and this, the final report on peaches, indicates the crop to have been an entire failure in many sections of the state.

INTEREST IS INCREASING Many Former Liberals Are Support ing the Dry Cause While Employers nd Employes Are More Active For Prohibition Than Ever Before Ef fort of the Drys Wi.ll Be Centered on Getting All Dry Voters to the Polls. Columbus Although the people of Ohio are deeply absorbed in the war, there is great interest manifested in the campaign for state-wide Prohibi tion and the drys are finding the peo ple more favorably inclined to sup port the dry amendment than ever be fore. This interest in behalf of the dry cause is intensified by the war and the belief that man-power and food stuffs should be conserved. It is not difficult for Ohio voters to pay that the Prohibition of alcoholic liquors, beer as well as whisky, is an important part of the war plan and no small factor in winning the war. There is widesnread approval of the action of Congress . in prohibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers and in keeping saloons from the vicinity of training camps. But Ohio drys argue that If liquor is kept from soldiers, in order to main tain their efliciency, it should be kept from civilians for the same reason. And if saloons are kept away from training camps to protect soldier boys they should be kept away from homes to protect boys who are not preparing for war, to say nothing of protecting girls. Ohio drys also argue that while Congress acted wisely to conserve food stuffs, there is no reason why the making of beer should not be stopped for the same reason. They insist that if the housewives are urged to save crumbs of bread, it is only consistent to stop the waste of many millions of bushels of grain which go into the manufacture of liquor. There is a close alliance, Ohio drys assert, between Prohibition and the successful prosecution of the war, and so they are pushing their campaign with vigor and if indications count for anything, they are being given more general support than in any previous campaign. Many former wets are out in tha open this year for state Prohibition. Not a few of these one time liberals are serving on dry campaign commit tees and are giving time and money to the cause. The economic phase of Prohibition is strongly appealing to employers, while never before has labor been so inclined to vote dry. This is due in a measure, no doubt, to evidence from dry states which shows that labor is benefited. Ohio drys intend to contest every foot of ground this fall. The work of organization is well advanced in every one of the 88 counties. Soon the guns will be brought into action and the last month of the campaign the drive will be general and vigorous. While the drys realize that in an off year in politics it is difficult to rally I voiers 10 tne pons, nicy mc ivnuuii.- ing their whole campaign with the voters to the polls, they are conduct- view of getting dry votes in the bal lot box November 6. If they can do this, it is quite generally conceded, even by the wets, that the Prohibition amendment will be adopted. TUBERCULOSIS AND DRINK Chicago's Health Commissioner Tel'a Effect of Sunday Closing. Chicago. This city is making headway in its fight against tubercu losis. In 1915 there were 4,169 deaths due to this disease, but in 1916 the number had dropped to 3,736. Dr. John Dill Robertson, Chicago Health Commissioner, says this tri umph over tuberculosis is due to the city's purification of its milk supply and to the closing of saloons on bun- day. Dr. Robertson argues that the closing of the saloons one day in the week gives men time to rest irom their labors and prevents them from spending their time feeding tuber culosis with alcohol. Now the thinking people of Chi cago are asking if the closing of sa loons one day in the week results in such decrease in the number of deaths due to tuberculosis, why should the city hesitate to close these disease breeders seven days in the week. LABOR DAY PARDONS. Columbus, O. Governor Cox granted three Labor day pardons to convicts of the Ohio peniten tiary, and in each instance he re quired the men to keep away from saloons, refrain from drinking and attend church. Dry workers are asking if labor approves of this requirement in connection with these pardons, how can it vote Its support of the saloon and the drink traffic? i Ira, J, Lambart- Continued on last page.
