When the girl at the glove

their wedding is good for a forty
line wedding notice, and the for
ty lines in the country paper give
them self respect. When in due
course we know that their baby
is twelve-pounder, named Grow
er or Theodore or Woodrow, we
have the neighborly feeling that
breeds the real democracy. When
we read of death in that home
we can mourn with them that
m )u-n. When we see them NOV
ing away in the world into farm
and out toward the country club
neighborhood, we rejoice with
them that rejoice. Therefore,

counts, will produce a stagger-

This drink is said to be fash
toned after the "Old Hen,' which
was Matched in West Virginia
when that State went dry, exc
|cept that it contains rye or bar
ley malt. 1t costs about thirty
cents a gallon to make and re-
tails for about FIVE times that
amount. The selling price is a
matter of small consequence,
however, for the purchaser will
have the original thirty cent
feeling the next day.
The new intoxicant is believed
to be a mixture of black mo-
lasses," rain water, yeast, barley
or rye chop, which is allowed to
stand until fermented and then
is distilled.
Anyone engaged in the unlaw.
full manufacture and sale of wet
goods is naturally reticent and
not inclined to boast about his
business. For this reason, it is
very difficult to get at the truth
of the matter, as all who have
tried the game will testify.
At least one portion of tile
"moonshine" report has local
corroboration, however. 1t is
said that the distillers. at their
boldest, hauled their product out
into the country in covered wag.
