Another Protest. Atkinson, Nebr., Nov. 10, 1913. Editor Frontier: I read a protest n your paper written by Mrs. E. F. Roberts of Joy. She enters a protest igainst the prizes offered by R. J. Marsh in the “Holt county Corn Con test.” I hope your office will be flood* 3d with protests. Corn contests are valuable in that they help to educate In corn culture those who participate. But how about the prizes, whiskey md beer? The law forbids them being awarded to minora and the best woman and men of this nation are fighting them. Whiskey and beer means drunkeness, the lowest state in which a man can be found. Whiskey and beer means proverty, wretched ness and crime. Whl^cey and beer means unhappy homes. Whiskey and beer turns many a family out Into the darkness at midnight. With such a record for whiskey and beer why were they offered for prizes to pollute our men and boys on “Thanksgiving Day. ” No man is any better than the prin ciples he stands for. If be stands for whiskey and beer he Is no better than the outcome or results of whiskey and beer. I hope Mr. Marsh may see the wrong he is doing and give instead something for prizes that no man may be ashamed to have awarded him. Mrs. Jennie Beck. County President W. C. T. U. Notice.
