OF Interest to Win. Grow.r..

Mr.. Carl A. Stark, state native wine
inspector, gives out the following in
formation for the guidance of wine
growers and the general public:
Each package before sale (say at time
OF sellilg) must bear label, whether
package be quart bottle, jug, keg or
barrel. In case containing, say one
or two dozen bottles, each bottle must
bear label, but it is not then necessary
to label the box containing the bottles.
The label must state: % II wine be
natural" or "sugared." (2) The kind or
variety of grape or berry of which the
wine is made 81 II the wine be sweet"
or unsweetened." Fhe expression
'sugared wine" has reference to the
addition of sugar to the must" or
fresh juice, before fermentation, to
grapes or berries too weak in sugar to
make natural wine, and if just the
right quantity is added it will leave the
wine dry when tnished-unsweetened,
the law terms it-while people unac-
quainted with wines simply call it sour
wine.

extending the laws and regulations
governing immigration TO the United

mistake. Mr.. Meiklejohn says that
the order only extended the regular
