i THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPXER. ORE., THURSDAY. REPT.. 17. 1914 r.(.F. SEVEN Bleeding K Still ansas Bleeds! INTERESTING NEWS IN L Emit (;nners Meet in Spokane Dur ing National Apple Show. A steady stream of money the life-blood of a state pours from "model prohibition" Kansas into License states! The Topeka State Journal, a supporter of Prohibition, on July 8, 1913, published the statement that approximately 1,500,000 QUARTS OF LIQUOR were legally shipped into the state of Kansas each year. Kansas got no revenue-other states got the money! Should we place Oregon near the bottom with Kansas? Prohibitionists like to talk about Kansas. They say it lias been dry (or 34 years and has made a record. Uan it? Kansas Prohibition is what sent Carrie Nation on the warpath with her hatchet. It was in Topeka, Kansas, that Mrs. Nation opent d her home for the wives of men who got drunk on Kansas Piohibilion liquor. Yet Prohibitionists tell us that as the capital city ol dry Kansas, .Topeka is a model. Rev. Robert Gordon, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Topeki, who has been a Prohibitionist pll his life, s ii-l from his pulpit: "There are 140 joints in Topeka where intoxicating liquor' is told." To prove It, he went out and bought a kcg.of beer, two cases of bot ' tied beer, a suitcase full of whis key, and all the gin and wine he could carry. That is what the Prohibitionists themselves tell us about Kansas. Dry Kansas ranks 32nd in per capita bank resources. Dry Kansas ranks 43rd in per capita savings bank deposits. Dry Kansas has more inmates in her prisons in proportion to population than 24 other states. Dry Kansas has a greater pro portion of juvenile delinquents than 26 other states. Dry Kansas has a greater pro portion of feeble-minded than 31 other states. Dry Kansas has a greater pro portion of homicides annually than 22 other states. tFijures from U. S. Crnsus, Federal or olher Officii! Reports) Government statistics show that Dry Kansas has the Jowest church enrollment of the North Central States. Only 28.4 per cent of her population is en rolled as church membership. Vi3c0nsin, a wet slate in the North Central group, has a church roll cf 44.3 per cent. Dry Kansas buys great quantities of Bitters and Home Remedies. Government reports show lhese nostrums contain an average of 35 to 40 per cent alcohol. Analyr.il of a favorite "nerve tonic" showed two grains of opium and 75 per cent of grain alcohol to each fluid ounce. Patent medicines are always popu lar in dry states; above is the reason. Do you, as a loyal Orcgonian, want to see your state held up like this to the nation's scorn? Records of County Clerks, Express Companies and Railroads in Kansas show that Kansas consumes just as much liquor under Prohibition as it did when it had legally licensed saloons. The state now gets no public revenue from this liquor. The "blind-pig" and th "boot-legger" have taken the place of the regulated saloon and ply their illicit trade in alleys and under cover of darkness. Defeat of Prohibition will not change the present Home Rule or local Option Law ''Portland, Ore., Sept. 15 (Special) At a conference held in Portland on Sept. 10, and which was partici pated in by representative growers and manufacturers of fruit products from every section of the Pacific Northwe.it, the future of the fruit industry was discussed from every angle. It was shown that through lack of cooperation on the part of gardeners and fruit raisers a large percentage of the crop goes to waste each year while the balance is sold at prices which frequently show a net loss to the producer. While no definite action was tak en at this meeting, it was decided that all possible information on the subject should be collected in each fruit growing section and the result ing data will be made the basis of another conference in Spokane, No vember 14, at the time of the Na tional Apple Show. It is practically certain that a permanent organiza tion will be affected at that time and steps taken to establish canneries, dryers and other methods of caring for such fruits and vegetables as cannot be marketed in a fresh con dition. All who are interested in the subject should make a special effort to attend that meeting.

His survey shows the standing timber to approximate 18,927,000,000 feet, of which about 17,000,000,000 feet are first and second growth fir. He says there is not a 40-acre tract in the county subject to homestead entry that is worth taking. One of the banks at Eugene is of fering to furnish farmers of that sec tion with money with which to pur chase stock for feeding and will carry the loan until the stock is ready for market.

Believing that dairy conditions are ideal in their section, the Clatsop County Co-operative Cheese Associa tion has offered to furnish a herd of cows to any farmer in the county who desires to go into the dairy bus iness. That the business has not been more prosperous in the past has been largely due to lack of funds with which to buy cows, and this move of the creamery men is de signed to correct that shortage. An expert will be employed to purchase the stock and only cows of high grade will be supplied. aoc 101 0 Fanners To Support Prohibition. In a letter to R. P.

I have been among the farmers in various parts of the state and my statement is based upon ob servation and talks with many far mers."
