THE "WET-DRY issue lias been introduced in tlie .New 1 oik mu
nicipal election- Newspapers oil one side are claiming " the pro
hibition law has been a complete failure, und on liie other side that
it hits been a complete success. As a matter of fact both contentions
arc wrong. No prohibitory '1,w !1"1 completely succeed, and no sane
person can contend the prohibition law has completely failed.
lint in one direction the national prohibition law has, in the. coun
try at lat'tte, been sufficiently successful to warrant general commen
dation. This success lies in the abolishment of the saloon. This
moral sore on the body politic has been effectively removed. 5oot
lefjpers undoubtedly thrive, there are undoubtedly places in most of
the large cities where thirsty souls on the inside can have their thirsts
quenched. But as an institution the saloon is gone, and every right
thinking person in the country rejoices.
Whatever modifications may be secured, one thing is certain,
the American people will never tolerate the re-establishment of the
saloon, Nor will any move which even hints its re-establishment be
allowed to show its head. The saloon is gone, and whatever the defic-
iences of practical prohibition, here is n genuine achievement, which
even its opponents should be abb; to recognize.
THE GRAIN CORPORATION.
THE SPIRIT that brings the farmer's grain corporation into ex
istence is the spirit that will threaten its complete success. Tlii
is the spirit of private gain.
The l'undementnl purpose of the present movement is to increase
the profits of the producer. This motive is perfectly legitimate. But
Ihe serious obstacle to complete co-operation will be the hope of cer
tain individuals that, by escaping the obligations of co-operation, they
will increase their individual pro! its. This has been the canker at
the heart of every co-operative movement. Until the vast majority
of individuals realize that profits thus attained in certain instances
are inevitably overbalanced by the losses involved, any great co-operative
movement will be prevented from securing the maximum bene
fits, which genuine co-operation earns-

TALKSMITHS.
MY NEIGHBOR, Hiram Henry Hicks, is fond of talking poli
tics ; that is a theme that makes me sore, so Hiram Henry
seems a bore. But I'm the sort of sapbead wight, who always
strives to lie polite, so I pretend that H. H. Hicks, with all his
talk of polities, is holding nie entranced, spell-bound; I tlo not
yawn or rubber 'round, but hang upon his throbbing words as
though they well might charm the birds. But when II. Henry
Hicks runs dry, and I would talk of books or pie, or any topic I
adore, he looks upon me as a bore; he interrupts and yawns and
sighs, and hot tears gather in his eyes, and then he reaches for
his hat, his parasol, brass knncks and gat, and hastens from my
humble shack, he cannot bear to hear me clack. And Hiram
Hicks is short of friends; the people shun hiin as he wends along
the main street of our town; he as a bore has wide renown. But
when I trip along the street I'm smiled upon by all I meet. This
moral, then, these facts afford; you must be willing to be bored if
you would bore the other toff, and talk his bloomiii"- whiskers
off.
The Importance of Forcaster Young's
Work in the Rogue River Valley
Mr. Floyd D. Young, of tho U. S.
wenthor bureau, Ib once more on the
job in tho weather office in Medford.
Since the spring of 1917 Mr. Young
has mado tho forecasts for the Kogue
River valley and his success hits been
so great us to gain national recogni
tion.
To the averugw cit.-zen tho greater
portion of tho "weatherman's" work
Is forecasting and but few realize that
this is but a small part of the actual
work ho does. Txor does trio general
public realize tho value to the com
munity which may accrue from the
work of Intelligent and expert weather
Investigation. . '
Horc, in Hague Kiver valley, most
peoplo nrv prone to look upon tho
work of file weatherman as purely a
niatler'of orchard heating und of little
benefit except to thoso who "smudge."
This Is a mistake. While Mr. Young's
work bos been largely connected with
orchard heating and making of frost
.orecasts the data he nas acquired has
been of great importance In many
other directions.
Primarily Mr. Young is sent here
each year for tho special work ol
malting frost predictions and the In
vestigation of orchard heating. In
thin work lie has had to observe all
tile weather phenomena and a careful
record Is kept or such observations. In
191" It was suggested to Mr. Young
tlie possibilities of working out a
mathematical formula for accurately
predicting frost in terms of actual
minimum temperature to be expected.
Mr Young stated he bud the matter
In view and would Iminmlluttlv try to
solve the problem as ho believed it
could lie done. The result Is well
known for Mr. Young succeeded In de
veloping such a formula.
So well has this method worked that
a bulletin was Issued by the I'. S.
weather bureau upon tlie subject and
It is being used widely. Hut then? are
still many things to learn about frost
conditions, orchard heating, etc. In
collaboration with the county agent,
.Mr. Young Is going as deeply Into the
matter ns his limited time and avail
able funds will permit.
If we slop to thin Just what this
frost work and the other weather in
vestigations will mean to our valley
wo can readily understand why It Is of
vast importance that It continue.
There Is hardly a project of niucn
magnitude, which might be considered
here, that would not first go as deeply
into tho weather side of the question
as possible before starting work. Thj,
first thing the aviation authorities
want to know before they establish n
field hero is weather conditions. Irri
gation projects must, know weather
conditions such. as ruinfull, water
flow, etc. Canneries will want 'to
know the, weather sj as to base their
judgment on crop conditions. Scien
tific farmers will want to know weath
er conditions and tho frost conditions
before they plant for what intelli
gent man would want to come in. here
and plant tomatoeu In toot nt our cold
Bpots, for example. Saw mills, electric
power plants, railroads and every oth
er great Industry first Investigates tin
weather.
So, realizing the great value to lis
all and especially to the growers of
fruits, berries and vegetables who are
Interested in prolecting their crops
against frost, tho Fruit drawers'
league mado successful orforts to have
Mr. Young sent back here to continue
the valuable work he has started.
There was not sufficient money avail
able for this purpose though the
weather bureau desired to send him.
However, through the work or Senator
McNury an appropriation was obtain
ed from congress at the last minute
and Mr. Young was sent here.
The people of tho county appreciate
the efforts of those who helped to get
tho continuance of this work as they
all realize the Importance and neces
sity of it. Mr. Young, with his five
years or experience here is the most
valuable man wo could get for the
woik and he has the hearty co-operation
of every progressive citizen in the
county.
