Prohibition in the New Hebrides
In Atchin, New Hebrides, Brother and Sister C. H. Parker have been laboring the past three years among savages and cannibals. These people have taken the prohibition question into their own hands very effectively. The grog man visited the island some time ago, and as a natural result the natives laid around in the brush or filled the air with hideous yells during the following night, so much so that Brother and Sister Parker could not sleep. They spent the time in prayer. The next Sunday, Brother Parker called the natives to a meeting, and told them all about grog, what it would do for them, etc., and that they had the power to prevent liquor coming onto the island. They decided to do so. The grog man has twice visited them since, using every artifice to get them to buy the stuff, but not a penny's worth did he sell. He now plies his nefarious traffic elsewhere.
