-," Baron and T)a'roness Huard arrived
frpni Portland lost evening. They
are keenly alive to the interests and
the development of the west and pre
dict that the Pacific coast will be the
coming population center of the
United States. , In speaking ot the
agricultural interests of France they
revealed the source of the wealth ot
the, nation when they said that an
acre of ground annually produces
J 1000. One year In ten will be a
failure and two years of the ten will
be mediocre, but the other seven
will produce as stated. The French
know their soil and Its possibilities
and work out their problems In their
own way a way in which the Amer
ican tractors and implements would
prove out of place.
' The 600.000 German prisoners
which are now held in France will
lie most efficiently used In the work
of reconstruction; roads and ground
will rapidly be put in shape. France
lacks the youth and two generations
-will be required to bring the nation
back to its former stute of develop-;
ment. V One of her greatest present
needs is timber and many of ber
noble trees are being sacrificed. Her
African possessions are rich in tim
ber but for the present labor and
transportation are the problems
which prevent its use. I
The French are essentially an ar
tistic nation and early in the war
Baron Huard was one of a group of
prominent artists to commemorate
with his brush and water colors, the
great struggle, and sketches ot the
destruction of bridges, cathedrals
and historic spots, which have since
been rebuilt, are now preserved and
form a part of the archives of France.
Baron Huard takes just pride in
the fact that Franco conducted the
struggle along noble, heroic and true
lines, not stooping at any time to
take advantage of the enemy by un
fair means.
Both Baron and Baroness Huard
have most pleasing personality and
the opportunity to bear the baroness'
story at the Rialto tonight should
not be overlooked (by any one.
THE DRY AMENDMENT.
RATIFICATION t.f tlu inhiliti.vn iiiiHii(lnifiit by
ovpnvhclniinjr limjoriti.os in k'gjslutiims of ovci'j
Jlimj-qiiiird'rs of the si at, iuuVnUw ti)o speedy lmnisli
liit'iit of .tho liquor ti'al'lty l'roin tho United States. The
distillers and .brewers who iit the (eleventh hour are en
gaged in frantic effort to prevent the enaetiiient of the
amendment, by techiiieanities, referenduuis and appeals
to courts, might as well save their money at best they
can only secure a brief respite. They stand as niu,eh show
of halting the prohibition wave as King Canute did of
sweeping back the sea.
Right or wrong, the majority of the people want pro
hibition and prohibition they are going to have. They
have been niany years weighing the evidence and have de
cided that the e'vils of alcoholic drink far outweigh the
benefits and hence booze must go. For tjiis result, tho
distillers and brewers have only .themselv es to blame. The
methods they have followed in fostering the saloon their
interference in politics, their dictation in ; business, has
aroused a blind resentment that has swept the business
out of existence.
It js the saloon, financed by the distiller and brewer,
operated by irresponsible parties, a center .of political cor
ruption, criminal vice and moral degradation, leaving
wrecked humanity in its trail, demoralizing youth
and wrecking womanhood for commercial greed, that has
brought the whirlwind of destruction to the traffic. Not
all saloons are evil, but the better suffer' for the sins of
the worst. , "
The adoption of the dry amendment is really a revo
lutionary procedure, for it marks the first complete sur
render by the states themselves of state rights to control
regulate and police. It is also the first national attempt to
regulate the personal habits of people and control their ap
petites by statute.
Prohibition has been forced by the clever manipula
tions of a small baud of fanatics with the aid of the folly of
the liquor dealers. It is, by its advocates, regarded as
merely the first of great reforms to be effected by regula
tion in the purification of mankind. With liquor success
fully banished, the effort, to control the personal habits of
others by busy bodies, inspired by the idea that they are
conducting sacred crusades to rescue humanity from the
chains that bind to the devil, will continue. Tobacco, cof
fee and other articles are on the list to be banned, and a
erudesceuce of the blue laws is probable for every one
must De made to w goou.
, It will require an army of officers to enforce prohibi
tion, for the next few years at any rate, for those accus
tomed to drink Avill secure it illegally. The principle bene
fit will be to the rising generation, who will not have the
opportunity to acquire the taste for liquor or the habit of
consmning it, though it is problematical whether the re
moval of temptation, will make for character building.
The dry law in Oregon lias made us a state of law
breakers and hypocrites. A dry law for the nation will
Jiave tiie same ettect f or some years at anv rate. How
ever the evil ot the commercialized liquor business will
nave been banished, a great source ot nohtical corruntion
and moral decay removed and better conditions should
follow.
Prohibition is here whether you like it or not.

REAKISH WEATHER
FOR WEEK PAST
Freakish weather has been the or
der in the valley for a week past, fre
quently threatening the arrival of
the long delayed and longed for good
rains that are so -badly needed. In
the past few days there has been
more wind than is usually experienc
ed in an entire season. About mid
night last night the wind again arose
and continued all night, at times
reaching 30 miles an hour, and it
was still blowing this forenoon. At
10 a. m. it was blowing at a 20 miles
an hour gait.
There were showers also during
the night but up to 8 a. tn. today the
rainfall was only .Q2 of an inch. A
peculiar feature of the past 24 hours
weather is that the maximum tem
perature of last night, 48 degrees,
was higher than during the day,
Wednesday, when it was 4a degrees.
This has only happened once before
during the winter season. The bar
ometer was low this forenoon and
still falling, which presaged stormy
weather ahead. . i . ...

Catarrhal Deafness Mav Be Overcome
If you have Catarrhal Deafness or
head and ear noises or are growing
hard of hearing go to your druggist
and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it 'A pint of
hot water and a little grandulated
sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four
times a day. i
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and the mucus stop
dropping into the throat. It is easy
to prepare, costs little and Is pleasant
!to take. Anyone who has Catarrhal
nearness or head noises should give
tills prescription a trial. Adv.

DARKEN GRAY HI,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
. So Naturally that No
body can tell.
Hair that loses Ita color and lustre,
or when It fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless. Is caused by a lack of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which la so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture Improved by the addition of other
Ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound," which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. Tou Just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking .one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears: but what
delights the ladles with Wyeth's Bags
and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few appllcaUons, It also brings
back the gloss and lustre and glvos It
an appearance of abundance.
vWyeth's Saga and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap
pearance to the hair. It Is not In
