It is really with pride that we can make the
above statement that business is good, and of course
we attribute this condition to the loyalty of our cus-
tomers and the fact that they appreciate the efforts
we have put forth to give them a real grocery store
and real grocery bargains.
Business
Is Good
I
We don’t know why, unless it is because we keep
in our store just what the people of Whitewright
and community want, and at prices that please and
gratify them. We have one of the largest stocks of
staple and fancy groceries, feed, flour, etc., that can
be found in this section, and the people who have
been trading with us for the past several years al-
ways know they can get the best quality merchan-
dise at prices that are as low as can be found any-
where.

There never was such a real neces-
sity for a young person getting a
business education as at the present
time. Money is not easy to get. We
have all been forced down to a new
low level of living. We must work
up economically from this new level.
We can’t buy a new automobile, or
take an expensive university educa-
tion. We must first get a real cash
producing education that will not
cost much and one that will enable
one to accumulate the money neces-
sary to buy the things one would
like to have.
A business education secured at a
Byrne College will pay you greater
returns for the small amount of time
and money invested than anything
else. Any ambitious young person
can get a cash producing education
at a Byrne College, for all five of
them are located in large cities: Dal-
las, Houston, San Antonio, Fort
Worth and Oklahoma City, where
you canj-if necessary, get spare time
work to pay board and room while in
school and a good position when you
graduate and if you haven’t enough
money to pay for a scholarship there

the boy who drinks is now the excep-
tion.
More women drink. And so do
more women smoke, swear, wear
scanty bathing suits, go to business
and play golf. But does the prohibi-
tion law have anything to do with it?
Evangeline Booth says there is much
less drinking on the part of the
poorer class of women than in the
old days. The women who drink are
of a different class and they do it
for the same reason that they smoke,
—for a thrill, to demonstrate their
‘freedom,” because they are restless
and have nothing better to do. There
is no evidence that prohibition has
anything to do with it.
It is responsible for the crime
wave! This is a good one. But if you
want one of the basic reasons for the
crime wave you must go back to the
years 1914-18, when the whole world
.told itself that eternally
things had become right! Hatred,
violence, lies, murder were sanc-
tioned by church and state, and a
good many other things were con-
doned. Look to that rather than to
prohibition when you seek an expla-
nation of the crime wave.
It has caused disrespect of law.
There is no reason whatever- why the
prohibition law may not be enforced.
Enforcement has failed because of
lack of public faith in enforcement.
Those in high places have condoned
lawlessness or regarded it as smart.
When we face the question fairly
and with all the facts at our disposal,
the conclusion becomes clear. The
present prohibition law is a good law.
It has fewer faults than any alterna-
tive that anyone has yet suggested.
Moreover, prohibition is the desire
of the majority of the American peo-
ple, Literary Digest polls to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Furthermore,
it is a law which the highest consti-
tuted authority of the land is seeking
to enforce. Any one of these three
facts lifts the prohibition law out of
the class of “dead” laws.
We need a new kind of prohibition
propaganda. We need to stop our
talk of enforcing prohibition merely
because it is a law. We need to em-
phasize the point that it should be
enforced because it is a good law.
Moreover, we need to stop our wa-
vering, half-hearted discussions
whether it can be enforced.

After the passage of the eight-
eenth amendment and the Volstead
law, dry leaders ceased their educa-
tional afforts on behalf of temper-
ance. When they awoke to the real-
ization that the battle was not over,
they set to work on the question of
law enforcement. As a result, the
major battle is now being waged, not
•on whether prohibition is a good
thing, or the will of the people as a
"whole, but whether the law can or
ought to be enforced. We have
clouded the main issue.
Whether prohibition is a good
thing or not depends a good deal on
the alternatives. Let us consider the
alternatives.
There is, of course, the return to
the open saloon, which offers the
fullest personal liberty to the indi-
vidual who wants to sell or buy
liquor. Strangely enough, almost no-
body advocates the return of the sa-
loon, though many people will

MARLIN.—No need any more to
skin up the mules and lose one’s re-
ligion in scraping the mud out of
surface tank’s, for a new, cheap and
practical method in which dynamite
is used has been developed by Dan
Clinton, county agent of Falls
County. About every five years
these; watering places get so filled up
with mud that after putting it off as
long as possible farmers finally spend
an average of two weeks to do a job
that is now done with dynamite in
half a day. It used to cost from 40
cents to 75 cents per yard to move
dirt that has been removed in these
Falls County demonstrations for 16
cents per yard. Three tanks have
been cleaned out by the new method
the past summer and at least 50
more are to be done this fall.
In explaining, Mr. Clinton says:
“If the tank is not dry, drain off the
water. In the last job we set charges
of dynamite in five rows 30 inches
apart and 22 inches apart in the row.
In the middle row we made our
charges 114 pounds of dynamite, in
the next row one pound, and in the
two outside rows % pound dynamite
per hole. It took 150 pounds that
cost $37.37. We used one eight-cent
cap with detonator in the center hole
and this one charged all the rest.
“The explosion blew a hole three
to five feet deep, 15 feet wide and
55 feet long, and is estimated to have
moved 180 yards of mud. The mud
was thrown 250 to 400 feet around
the tank with most of it going in the
direction of the wind. Four men
worked three hours in setting the
charges and it took a half a day
afterwards to clean up the tank.”
1 tell
you that there is more drinking,
more vice, and more evil effects
from prohibition than were found_ in
the days of the open saloon,
present generation knows nothing of
the evils of the saloon. Many of the
older generation seem to have for-
gotten. Not only were there whole
sections of evei’y city where no re-
spectable woman dared go, but sa-
loon keepers were notorious for their
disregard of law. Selling to minors
and the maintaining of evil houses in
connection with the bar, are but a
few of the counts against the old sa-
loon.
There are those who advocate the
Canadian system of Government con-
trol. Canada is hardly satisfied with
her own system. It is difficult to be-
lieve that the American people, what-
ever their personal thirsts, will be
willing for our country to go into the
liquor business. Personally, I saw
more drunkenness in the streets of
Montreal in half an hour than I have
seen in days in any city from New
"York to San Francisco.
Again, local option is advocated.
But local option presents a greater
enforcement problem than our pres-
ent situation. If the country as a
w-hole cannot keep liquor from cross-
ing the Canadian border, what
•chance would a dry state have when
surrounded by wet states?
Still others suggest the legalizing
of light wines and beer. But does
anyone imagine that the people who
have grown accustomed to corn
whisky would be satisfied with light
wines and beer? There would hardly
be enough kick in them to interest
the regular drinker. There is no rea-
son whatever to suppose that the le-
galizing of wines and beer would
stop the bootlegger.
There has not yet been offered an
alternative which has common sense'
behind it. Most of those who advo-
cate modification or repeal are not
very clear as to what they would
prefer in place of the present law.
That the present prohibition law
-4has its faults we cannot deny. But it
hardly has all the faults attributed to
it. And we seem to be overlooking
many of its virtues. Some of the
statements made by its enemies are
almost too absurd to state, yet many
people will solemnly assert their
truth. Let us examine their proga-
ganda.
There is more drinking than be-
fore prohibition. There may be more
drinking among a certain class
people, though I doubt it. But to say
that there is actually more whisky
consumed is manifestly absurd. To
say that all the bootleggers and
smugglers in the country can get in
more whisky than thousands of huge
breweries runnings full blast is sim-
ply silly.
More young people are drinking
than ever before, and they couldn’t
get it from a licensed saloon. The
answer is there aren’t, and that they
could, and did. A nationally known
minister told me recently that in his
own college 30 years ago one frater-
nity had to be disbanded because all
the members but one had been ex-
pelled for habitual drunkenness. He
said then the boy who didn’t frequent
the corner saloon was an exception.
He recently visited that same college
and was told by the president that
