Ready To Make Any Sacrifice
''NO Divided Allegiance"

Atlantic City, n. j., Oct 3.-Reso-
lutions pledging its members indiVid-
ually and collectively to support Pres
ident Wilson in any way that he may
deem necessary in the conduct of the
war were before the convention of the
United States Brewers association for
adoption at the opening session of its
annual convention here today. The
resolutions which also provide for the
appointment of a committee of CO.
operation with full power to assist the
government in every way possible were
given by the board of trustees.
''This Is Our, Country"
Resolutions adopted today by the
United States Brewers association in
convention here declare:
ours is no divided allegiance.
Whether by birth or by choice, this is
our country. We owe her our fealty
not only for our material possessions,
for our physical welfare and our edu-
cational advantages, but for the price
less heritage of the free Institutions
which have come down to US from the
founders of the nation, who loved and
died that justice and liberty might be
| esta blished in the land.
Two generations ago our fathers
were to be found in the armies that
fought in this continent for union and
liberty; today our sons are enlisted in
the armies that soon will be fighting
in Europe. We affirm our absolute
conviction of the necessity of our
cOuntry's success and declare our read
mess to make any sacrifice that shall
advance it, and we record our I'M
swerVing faith that ultimately it will
triumph and restore peace and con-
| tentment to distracted world
Only Market for Barley.
| The crop Improvement committee
| presented a report designed to show
/ the relatively small amount of food
grains Consumed by the breweries in
the manufacture of beer. The report
admits that 20 to 35 per cent of the
barley crop is purchased each year
for malt used in making beer. but it
/ is claimed that if the breweries did
not buy the barley at a premium
: amounting at times to 20 cents a
/ bushel, the area planted would be
! greatly curtailed at considerable loss
/ to the farmer as there is no other
market for barley.
The report gives the total cOnsump-
I ton of barley, corn and rice by the
/ breweries during the last fiscal year
! as 70,500,000 bushels, 35 per- cert of
1 which, according to the report, is re-
turned to the farm in the form of
cattle feed, a brewery byproduct

BEER BOTTLE TOPS
State Collects 1900 as Evidence at
Leavcnworth.

If $500 bright. new beer bottle tops
are evidence of violation of the state
liquor laws, the attorney generals of

jury doesn't hold the six buckets of
tops as prima facie evidence. the state

Efforts to gather evidence against
an alleged LeaVenworth jOintist failed.
Every raid failed to produce evidence
of sales. Yet the yard at the rear of
the alleged joint was Uttered with
bright. new, shining beer bottle tops.
So Frank p. Lindsay. special assistant
attorney general. paid Leavenworth
youngsters five cents a hundred for
gathering the tops.
At the end of the first day the kids

with beer bottle tops-but no beer
