it invalidated the submission of the
amendments.
when other amendments are
brought up, we could say they must
be adopted in a year, OF six months,
Or leave twenty years for their
adoption. Congress can't do this, in
my opinion, without endangering the
submission of this important ques-
ton"
Senator Sheppard, author Of the
resolution, said congress had fought
this question out thoroughly and de-
cided it has the right to limit the
time.
Borah indicated that an early eff
fort will be made to have the courts
decide whether congress has the
right to put the seven year limita-
ton on ratification.
Only a handful of dry workers
saw the final chapter written by
congress to this legislation. There
was no shouting n uproar such as
featured the house vote yesterday.
"ead Situation"
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 1s.-If the
brewery interests see an ~unfavorable
sign in the passage Of the prohibition
amendment resolution by the house
yesterday, they did not indicate 1t
today.
Most of those who could be reach
ed today were of the opinion the
states would not muster a three
fourths majority for ratification of
the amendment.
Few could give any specific reason
for this belief, other than national
prohibition would create a bad stu
alton" and would find particularly
strong opposition among the laboring
classes.
States Will Not Ratify.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 1S.-Al-
though passage of the prohibition
amendment in congress was gener-
ally accepted as a severe blow by
brewers everywhere, leaders of the
industry here today express belief
that the states will not ratify the
bill.
81 think the people will come
gradually to approval of beer and
light wines, just as Europe has," said
Charles Manegold, Jr., president of
the Observation-Disclosures Brewing
company.
THE day of strong liquors is pass
ing all over the world"
Most of the brewers took a very
pessimistic view of the situation fol-
lowing the house vote late yesterday.

Curling The Waste.

Just the housewives of the country are being de-
luged with advice and warnings as to waste in the kch

trey superfuous from the fact that prices and pocket
books fail to harmonic. Economy the first lesson
learned by the when the present of high prices
opened. There is practically no waste in the average
American home.
The waste and extravaganza in this country is in the
hotels restaurants cafes etc. and in the mansions of the
idle rich Intelligent economy will never be practced in
these places long people persist in from six to ten
course meals, of which but small fraction is actually
consumed the residue going either to Second hand"
sorts or to the sw BARREL No system of food economy
be successful that permits waste of proqcdts for
other reason than that the waster has the price.

ed. Oats or rye and hairy vetch
can pe sown in front Of a one
horse cultivator if the corn and
cotton are standing up and the
land is not too weedy.
While many weeds need to be
cut more than once a year, it
helps pastures and fence rows a
great deal to clip them once in
midsummer every year. The
mower can be run pretty high so
that the grass will not be cut
close, but the seed part, as we'll
as most of the growth of the
weeds, will be destroyed.
After the crops are laid by is a
good time to see what the garden
needs. Crops that require most
of the season usually will need
working out, and a lot of other
things can be planted to make
vegetables in abundance till frost
and many for winter use. Late
cabbage can be started, late pc
tatoes planted, navy beans car

Askthe Price; Don't Beg.

The publishers of the average
small city dailies or the weekly
newspapers have not been max
ing a fortune out of their bust
ness. If they have not done
this under normal conditions how
can they expect to break even
under present conditions?
There is just one of two things
going to happen. Either the
papers are going to earn at least
less money than they did pre-
viously, or the publishers are 60
ing to raise prices to meet the
raise both in material and in
labor.
The public accept the raise in
groceries, in dry goods, in fuel,
in fact in everything they buy,
and they accept it as a matter of
course, because the merchant
does not apologize for asking the
increase. And the public will
accept a raise in the price of a
newspaper, or the merchant will
accept a raise in the price of ad.
vertising space in just the same
way if the publisher asks for il
on the ground that it is his due,
and not simply because he can
not live without it.
Too many newspaper publish
ers go to their public with a ples
for support instead of going tt
them with something to sell thai
is worth the price that is asked
for it. The publisher cannot af
ford to beg, any more than thu
groceryman can afford to beg
He must make a saleable pro
duct and sell it at a profit. Ant
the majority of the newspaper
: are saleable products. They will
, sell at q profitable price if tn
price is asked.

A Field For Censorship.

faithful field for government censorship would be
in the matter of the hypocrtca peace talk that perod
cay emanates from German subsidized correspondents
and is spread broadcast throughout the country 1t is
smooth game Germany is playing BY creating wide
spread impression that she stands ready to consumate
peace at any time she hopes to place this government in
the attitude of obstructg peace That the nsdous vr
us is working is seen on all hands,
1t not be too strongly impressed upon our people
that the last thing that Germany desreshat is
an equitable peace. Had she really desired such peace
she would have made concrete proposals before this
Instead of desiring, she hopes to spread dissenson
mong her enemies that shall work to her advantage.
Congress could make no more commendable move thar
to establish strict censorship of fake German peace pro-
posals.
