Strike. Blow at Bootl.ggor.
According to the Denver Post oî
December 6, the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company and its subsidiary cor
porations have just taken a step in
the direction of banishing the boot
leggers and their customers from
the centers of their activities by the
handing out of the following notice
of warning with pay checks:
“WARNING:
“This company is going to get a-
long in the future without the serv
ices of bootleggers or their customers
“We class as bootleggers all those
who manufacture, sell or distribute
intoxicants either personally
or
through their agent* or members of
their own families.
“Such persons will be discharged
on evidence sufficient to the mana-
agement without waiting for convic
tion in the courts.
“Employes who are customers of
bootleggers or who visit bootleggers’
houses or places of business will be
suspended for the first offense and
discharged for continuation sof the
offense.

“Union” is very anxious to revive

very unxious also to see this work

work but before it can prosper it is
necessury that the Verponia Union
be revived. We expect to come to Ver
nonia this spring for this purpose.
The battle cry of the W. C. T. U.
for tht next five years is law en
forcement and the principal project
is the enrolling of 1,000,009 children
under the temperance banner. The
method of enrollment is simple and
the pain of work and helpfullness for
them is wonderful. But as in all else
first there must be a leader and that
leader a member of the W. C. T. U.

To protection from child labor,
To be morally safeguarded,
To spiritual training.
We do not hesitate to say that with
nil the contribution which the organ
ization has given to child-life, the
greatest contribution has been its
part in placing the 18 th Amendment
in the Constituiotn of the United
States of America.

the great world heart wil tenfold

Grateful for Prohibition in America
A
W. C. T. U. COLUMN
“I cannot find words to express
my gratitude for the fact that we
have prohibition in America,” writes
n corerspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor. “I write as one who
ns a child, knew nothing but gnor-
ancc and drinking in my home and in
those around me. Wo were sadly neg
lected, whereas without this terrible
drink habit, we would have had a
loving, helpful home life. I thank
God for the progressive thinking of
the American people whereby this
liquor evil, that has caused so much
suffering to innocent little children
and others, is being eliminated. I am
thankful to say that my children
have never seen alchol of any kind,
nor do they know by observation any
thing about its baneful influence on,
SECRETARY’S REPORT OF COL.
COUNTY FARM BUREAU
In ]ooking back over the year’s
work there are many things that are
encouraging and some that arc dis
couraging.
,
Your board has served this year
without any allowance for expenses.
We took up the year’s work with
113.40 cash on hand and the remaind
er of the heavy load that has hung
over this organization since 1922.
However, each and every one of
your board believed in the farm
bureau and were convinced of the
great importance of holding the ir-
ganization together until such time
as the farmers would see the vision.
Meetings were held in Mayjer,
Beaver Valley, Mist District and Ver
nonia. Because of the fact that it
was impossible to take any Farm
Bureau money even for the necess
ary publicity some of the meetings
were made basket and pie socials and
from the receipts of these meetings
some very annoying old debts were
paid and some new projects started.
There has been a regular meeting of
the board held each month besides
severs] special board meetings. Last
spring when word came from Gray
Silver, National Farm Bureau repre
sentative of Washington of the threat
ened increase in parcel post rates Co
lumbia county Farm Bureau sent a
resolution protesting this to every
Grange in the county besides saw to
it that thia matter was brought to
the atttntion of otehr organisations
in the county. This was done by Farm
Bureau organizations all over the U.
S. and resolutions were poured into
Congress in a flood from all over the
U. S. whereever there was a Farm
Bureau organization that the bill
never left the committee until that
objectionable feature was removed.
The Farm Bureau Executive Com
mittee has co-operated with every
worth while project that has been
undertaken this year in the county
and has tried to so conduct the office
as to gain confidence an drespect for
the work. Mr. Nelsin, our County
Agent, has been of the very great
est assistance it not being to much
to say that onjy through the hely of
his office and his personal hely has
it been possible to carry out the plans
of the past year. Two projects for
1925 hsve been outlined and plans
are now ready for putting these plans
to work. One is the buying of ground
lime in car load lots thereby saving
at least $8 a ton on the retail price.
The Farm Bureau is unlertaking
the work of pooling the orders and
placing a car load in any part of the
county where the demand requires it.
Send your orders to the secretary,
Mrs. Mi^ls, St. Helens. Every c^der
will receive prompt attention when
enough have been received you will
be notified to send your money.
The other project is that of a paid
club leader for our county. Our boys
and girls are willing and anxious to
do club work but to get results there
must be a paid club leader.
