UNLAWFUL TO SELL CIDER
 CONTAINING ALCOHOL

Little Rock, Jan. Whether or not it is illegal to sell cider depends upon whether the cider contains alec hol, is the opinion of Atty. Gen. Moose who answers a correspondent as fol- lows:
 'In reply to your question whether there is any law forbidding the sale of cider in this state, 1 beg leave to state that in.my opinion it is not un- lawful to sell any cider that does not contain alcohol. If the cider. however contains alcohol and is used as a bev- craze, it is unlawful to sell it unless the person first procures license for the sale of intoxicating liquors. am informed that some cider is intox- icating, and that other cider is not intoxicating. If the cider you are selling contains no alcohol, you may sell it without procuring license, otherwise would not advise you to do so."

 The public should not lose faith in the splitlog drag because the roads are in such frightful condition after the recent continued rains. D. Ward King himself never claimed that good roads could be built in a day with the drag. On the contrary he contends that to secure a real serviceable roadbed that is practically impervious to rain and travel requires several years contin- ued use of the drag. The puddled earth that is leveled down by the drag and then packed deeper into the roadbed by traffic remains there to form a foundation for a road that in

Editor The Courier:

Editor The Courier:
just cut clipping from the Live
Stock World, Chicago. in regard to the
loss OF hogs in Iowa from hog cholera,
and I would like to see it printed in
your paper along with this commune
cation
The department of agricultural got
it's information from the bank cashiers
and would suggest that they get the
report from the farmers instead of the
cashiers.
If the department of agriculture will
arrange 1t some way so we farmers
can get what belongs to us in the way
of prices and fix it so we wont have to
pay it all out in taxes, then we can i'm
prove our farms, SO we can take care
of our stock Further, if the depart
ment will fix 1t SO we ca afford to
pay for labor as much as other indus.
tries pay for it, then we can have what
labor we need on the farm. And when
we have some hogs or other stock fix
it so we wont have to take four cents
or less for them at home, like we did
, in December. 1908 and when we have
none, like on March 20, 1910, after the
farmers are all put out of business,
hogs were worth $1,000 on the Chicago
market. We farmers will attend to
this stock business and there will be
plenty of meat for everybody to eat
and have some to export to other
countries. I remain,
Truly yours.
Samuel Newell.
Eddyville, Iowa.
Following is the clipping referred to
above:
Reports received by the agricultural
extension department of the Iowa state
college, from more than 1,150 bank
cashiers, representing almost every
part of every one of the SO counties,
show that the farmers of Iowa, through
the ravages of hog cholera during the
year 1918, lost over $33,00O,00O.
Hogs lost through cholera 2,S27,9O7
valued at $26,279,07O.
Hogs marketed at a sacrifice due to
cholera scare, ,470,493-loss $4,94O.
$50.
Loss to cattle feeders due to short
age of hogs, 100000.
Total loss to farmers $33,720,056.
Reports indicate that the farmers
of Iowa lost 34.3 per cent of their hogs
through cholera and that about 30 pei
cent were marketed early at a sacri
! flee due to the big cholera scare.
