According to all reports there seems
to be no doubt that the passage of the
'Webb I,aw by Congress, prohibiting
the shipment of intoxicating liquors
into prohibition states, and carrying
with it the possibility of state legis
latures passing similar laws relative to
parishes and counties. will be one of
the biggest boosts that has ever been
given the prohibition cause. For years
territory, towns, counties, parishes,
and states have voted out the liquor
traffic, only to have the same continued
by mail and express-order establish
ments outside of the territory so ef
fected. This has proven one of the
most discouraging feat'- r's of the
prohibition movement, a r. was main.
,tained by those interes!e! in the liquor
;traffic, an I many oth' s, that as long
as the "wet" goods could be shipped in
Afrom outside territory, they might as
;well have the open saloon, and have it
ainder the authority of the law, and
derive th e accompanying revenues
from the same. This new law, it is Le
lieved, will make it possible to keep
"dry" territory "(dry" in fact, as well
as in nam '. Strong pressure will be
:'Qught rt;on the Legislators of this
state to inlduce them to pass a law
Similar to the Webb Law, at their next
regular se:;sion.
Representative Chappelle, of Cinc n.
tatti, has just introduced a bill in the
lower house of the Ohio Legislature
providing for the appointment of a
commission (of men) "to prescribe the
fashions for women to be worn in the
state of Ohio." Under the provisions
pf this bill the commission will be com
pelled to fix the limit of decol!ette
dresses so that "no more than two
inches of the neck below the chin shall
be uncovered." "Transparent stock
ings must not be displayed or worn in
public." And the peek-a-boo waist
must be carefully underlaid with some
substantial opaque material other than
the human dermis. This bill also goes
so far as to prohibit department stores
displaying undraped artificial figures.
Owing to favorable crol:and weather
reports from the wheat belt of the
southwest, and the statistical estimates
that the visible supply of wheat is
70,000,000 bushels in excess of last
year's supply of this cereal, the Chicago
wheat market dropped to the lowest
level known for sometime last Satur
day. While the price of wheat is going
alown, and it is estimated that the
-United States will have to export at
least 80,0.0,000 bushels before the first
of July, in order to restore the country I
to normal conditions, it is of vital
interest to the millions of breed eaters
of the country to know whether the
price of tread will show a like decrease.

The men of the south can remove

dustry within a twelvemonth, if they
so desire' it, and when that shall be
done southern stockbreeding speedily
will take its place at the head of the
industry in this country. The agri.
cultural industry in the south iacks
proper balance, because its twin in
dustry...stock breeding...has been so
much neglected. Indeed, stock breed
ing is a part, and a very necessary one
at that, of the agricultural industry,
for without it soil building and the
maintenance of soil fertility become
practically impossible. Therefore the
re-establishment of the proper balance
between agriculture and live stock
production becomes a matter of the
first importance among a people who
are essentially agricultural. The peo.
plie should understand that the cattle
tick is the obstacle that has prevented
the maintenance of this balance, and
that his presence is costing the farmers
of the south untold millions each year.
Confronted by such a situation, the
call is for immediate action, through
the county and parish boards and by
private citizens in the work of tick
eradication,...Country Review.
