A NEW LIQUOR PROBLEM

Senator MARITIME Of New Jersey, that
stanch defender Of the liquor interests
whenever prohibition IL the topic Of
discussion in the Senate, Indignantly
repudiates the suggestion that foreign
ers have greater capacity for intoxi-
cants than Americans. In the recent
discussion on the pending prohibition
legislation for the District Of Columbia
it developed that provision had been
inserted in the bill exempting members
OF foreign legations from its effect be-
cause they are more accustomed to its
use at home. This aroused MARITIME
who vehemently declared that citizens
OF this country could absorb as much Of
the fiery fluid as visitors to our shores.
Other Senators joined in the discussion
until Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,
suggested serious international compli-
cations might arise unless the debate
were continued in executive session
behind closed doors.

SEND CONDEMNED
BEANS ABROAD
Oceana Canning Co.. Of Shelby
Asks Department for Goods.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Oceana
Canning Company Of Shelby, Mich,
owner of large quantity of beans con-
demned in the United States district
court at Grand Rapids recently, has
appealed to the department of agricul-
ture to be allowed to ship the beans
abroad. The beans were ordered con-
demned by Judge Sessions because
they were affected with anthracnose
and bean blight. The order of the
Judge would prevent their shipment in
interstate commerce.
Officials Of the company state that
they have large orders for canned
goods from abroad, especially from the
European nations at war. They say
that there goods were condemned not
because they were unfit for food" or
deleterious to health, "but because
they were affected with a kind of dry
rot which is not poisonous nor injuri-
Gus. The court ruled that the extent
of degree of the decomposition in the
beans was immaterial. Tie company
now is seeking to recover the goods
confiscated by paying the costs and
putting up bond. They contend that
food intended for export and prepared
according to the direction of the for
eign purchaser is exempt from control
of the food and drugs acts if no SUBJ
stance is used in conflict with the laws
of the foreign country.
The Shelby concern explained to the
government officials that the foreign
buyers have already tried out some of
these same beans of the same season s
growth, are satisfied with them and
want more.

BRIEF ITEMS FROM
u. S. DEPT AGRICULTURE

Permits for the importation of l27, 706
canaries were issued by the Biological
Survey during the past year.
The Bureau Of Soils of the depart
ment last year mapped in detail the
various soils of 24,749,44O acres in rs
areas in 80 States.
Two thousand bluebill and 300 white
winged scooter ducks were found to
destroy 5000 oysters day in single
bay near Olympia, Wash.
For correcting soil acidity, ton Of
burned lime is practically equal to ~
tons of slaked lime or tons of ground
limestone, in case all three forms are
of equal grade of purity.
Successful methods for the control of
the foot-rot of sweet potatoes, serious
and destructive disease in several States
have been developed by the specialists
of the department.
The Bureau of Soils is cooperating
with cement mills, blast furnaces, and
wool scourers with the object of enabl-
ing them to recover potash as by
product wherever this proves to be
commercially feasible.
In 1904 the actual cash road and
bridge expenditure in the United States
averaged slightly less than $2S per mile
of rural roads. In 1915 the cash road
and bridge expenditure had increased
to an average of $109 per mile of road.
Practically no injury to alfalfa from
summer heat has been recorded in dry
climates, but high temperatures COM
bined with much moisture in the at
mosphere are so injurious that it is
difficult to grow the crop successfully
under these conditions.
The pasturing of corn is especially ap-
plicable to semiarid regions. The dry
soil is not injured by the animals, and
very little corn goes to waste or spoils
by coming in contact with the soil. The
stalks are left in good shape to prevent
the drifting of snow.

CHARLEVOIX COUNTY'S
OPPORTUNITY

Failure to act now in securing our
proportion of the funds set aside by the
United States Government for the
Qurpose Of building good roads will be
\ positively suicidal policy.
This money (seventy-five millions)
has already been appropriated and
there should be some few men in Char
levoix county who will go after it and
get ii, as well as the thirty-five hund-
red promised by the State. This, in
addition to the part given by the
government, will give our portion of
the national highway, known as the
West Michigan Pike and Dixie High
way, such boost that we ourselves
will have but little to pay.
Now, fellow citizens of the greatest
county in the State is the greatest op-
portunity of the age. Do it now. II
you find yourself going 10 sleep in a
business way, wake up sufficiently to
buy small stock of dynamite (jus,
enough to blow you up nicely. Sit
down on it, light it and while you are
up in the air get your second wind and
begin life anew. There will be nc
doubt that during your flight you will
form solemn resolve-something like
this. "If ever live to get on earth
again, I'll work for the general good Of
Charlevoix county and for the building
of roads with permanence. will save
both myself and my heirs from an ever
etingy big sum to help keep up grave
or macadam roads,"

seizing control Of dispute wonld be
unrestrained in the wrecking Of the
employers property and the smashing
of his business. Anarchy and chaos
would prevail were the courts power
less to prevent it. The law abiding,
decent, industrious element in union
labor, and that element is in the major
ity, feared the result Of unrestrained
violence.
This is why the petitions fell. And if
the legislature is responsive to the will
of the people it represents, the attempt
of the Michigan Federation to force the
anti-injunction act through that body
doubtless will also fall.
