DENVER IS PART OF COLORADO, SAYS HIGH COURT

known as the Helbig case. 1t involves
the question of whether or not the law
passed to aid in the enforcement of the
prohibitory amendment should be re-
ferred to the people and thereby be
suspended until after next November s
election. If the "wets' should win
that case violations of the prohibition
amendment for next year could be pun
lshed only by civil process, and not by
criminal action.
Other cases attacking certain provis-
ions of the penalty statute are to be
brought, and in some of them it seems
to be conceded the "'wets'' may win.
but they will be of minor Importance.

in regard to an ornamental iron light

declined the proposition.

cerning rebate on an assessment made
against his residence lots on account Of

NEAR-BEER BECOMES
POPULAR PRODUCT.

OF sthe two remaining breweries, Il
is probable that one will merely close
shop, cover its machinery and await de-
velopments. The other will manufac-
ture ihalted milk and probably some
other Similar products.
The Phi. Zang Brewing company,
probably the largest producers of beer
in this territory, will have disposed CT
it's supply on hand by Jan. l, it is
stated by Manager George H. Knaub,
and thereafter will devote its energies
to the manufacturing of a non-alcoholic
notwithstanding malt beverage that
cannot be distinguished from the real
article 50 far as looks and taste are
concerned. This imitation beer has
been on the market for several months
and has already grown in demand ir

Tubers From Sweet Ranch
Make Great Hit at Nation.

LOU D. SWEET HONoRED

The following story printed in this
weeks issue of the Carbondale Item
much interest by those VINO are inter.
ested in the better agriculture, such as
the Sweets have developed and who are
proud of the reputation Carbondale has
made throughout the country as the
center of one of the finest potato grow
ing sections in the United States:
Last week +. Z. Sweet of the Crystal
River ranch, departed for Grand Rapids
Michigan, to attend the National Pc
tato show in session this week. He
took with him four potato exhibits,
seed, marketable, Rural and Pearls.
On Monday word was received from
him, making it known that he had cap
tured first prize for seed display, first
prize for display and marketable stuff,
first prize for Rurals, and second prize
for Pearls. There were 90 states in
competition with the Carbondale dis
plays, and the fact that those from
here captured first prize in each case
with one exception, is proof conclusive
that we are still holding our own for
quality as well as yields per acre.
Ths Sweets have always been strong
advocates Of perfect seed selection, etc.
which invariably results in perfect
marketable stuff, and this is one more
instance which is. convincing to al
that their teachings are worth practic-
ing.
With 22 other states and hundreds
of other potato districts represented
at the National Potato show, and Arst
prizes awarded to every Cssbondale
exhibit sent in, y h indeed encouraging

of the prohibition enactment.
Meanwhile, three of the five Denver
plants have begun the manufacture OF
near-beer, that looks like real bee,
tastes like real beer and is bottled like
real beer, the only difference between
it and the original product being that
the near-beer has no "kick," being
non alcoholic.
