A Basket of Flowers,

the striped grass, but it seems as
though it must have been blazing there
in some corner calling attention To its
little old friends, the marigoids, per-

or bed of bergamot or bevy of rag

language, we think we saw there pan
sizes as large across as teacups. Scotch
roses and Northern Lights roses, soei-

TO what grew in the flower gardens a

One would think that with the contin-

there would not be sufficient number of
white horses to provide one for every red

"For Personal Use"

Thanks to Fridays decision of our
smiable and excellent Judge Bfann OF
the Lewiston municipal court, we now
know that henceforth it takes more than
AZ pints of whiskey in a closet to arouse
suspicious or constitute probable
cause. under search and seizure
While this Is something. We cannot
help wishing that the finding had been
more determinative. We wish, for in
stance. that it had been settled pust at
which, pint, doubt began. We would
have liked 1t if pint after pint beyond AZ
could have been disclosed by witnesses
for the State until at last the court be-
gan to feel the first faint beginnings of
suspicion, growing with each added pint
until finally the pints reached the ruling
number at which personal use ends and
eommercialism begins.
Forty seven Is such a measly number.
Why could II not have been the mystic
81 Why not "a half-pints. as an equiva-
lent of the Al pints-much more compact
either for hip or bootleg, when needed
for immediate personal use? Why not
half gross--a goodly number which one
could view fer personal use with equani-
nifty and joy?
But alas. Nothing of the kind. All of
these fundamental rights of the per-
sonal user are left undetermined. He
must get along somehow with only II on
hand conscious that. if he passes beyond
that number even by a single pint, he
is liable to be suspected. He is not even
permitted to have half hundred-a
