Munich, Germany, Sept. 9.-The
shortage of beer in Munich, the
home of many famous brews of the
dark Muencher beer. is now very
real. The decreased production has
not only caused a jump in prices,
nut has produced here \ SEMI
drought that apparently has not
been felt so keeniy in any other part
OF Germany
The recent proposal to cope with
the problem by closing cafes as early
as o'clock instead of midnight pro-
vided all Germany with laugh at
Munich's expense, but 1t was no
laughing matter in Munich Few, if
any, of the cafes had sufficient al
lowances of the beer supply to keep
hings running after 8 o'clock.
Karl Won Koelcker, a member Of
the council of the state ministry Of
Bavaria, and a lifelong Muencnen-
er himself. had this to say about the
resignation of the people to the re-
stricted beer measure:
"If anyone had had the temerity
to tell Muenchener one year ago
that in August, 1915, he would be
restricted in his allowance of beer.
that he would have to go home
thirsty at o'clock, and that the
whole city would be enduring
scarborough, that man would either
have been told that he was crazy.
or the Muenchener would have re-
piled that he would never submit To
any tampering with one of his ne
cessaries of life
Notwithstanding the Muenchener
cday wends his way homeward at 9
or thereabouts, without a grumble
at being deprived of his accustomed
allowance of beer

will find that corn stalks mixed with
sawdust will make an excellent fer

sugar for melons. and dextrine for
potatoes. It is also claimed that corn

With practically 800 visitors in
the city by o'clock last night, the
crowds continued to pour into Lake
land all through the night and a
continual stream of automobiles from
all parts of the State have brought
the largest throng of good roads ad-
vocates together that the State has
ever known, it being estimated that
fully 1900 people were drawn here
to attend the meeting of the Florida
Central Highway Association.
The Auditorium, with its seating
capacity Of 100, was completely
filled by the time the gavel, in the
hands of President T. Ed Bryan an
nounced the opening of the meeting.
The stage had been attractively dec
Grated with ferns, palms and other
pot plants; the boxes were draped
with American flags, and the bal
cony railing and windows also bore
the patriotic decoration, countless
flags being effectively arranged
throughout the building. Across the
stage at the top was suspended {.
large sign bearing the words, "Wel-

!Placards, tackled to strips of wood,
bearing the names of the various
counties of Florida, were placed at

cations were readily able to find
their places, where they could rise
to concerted action when the neces-
