Prices in many instances have ad,
ivanced more than 100 per cent" Mr..
Sheets said. and some have even
advanced almost 200 per cent. To
! average the increases would be almost
an impossibility, but | should judge
that they would approximate nearly
SO per cent"
Concerning probable conditions fol.
lowing the close of the war and re-
ports that the belligerent nations have
manufactured large quantities of hard.
ware articles for expectation to Amer.
lea, Mr.. Sheets said is merely guess.
Master minds have attempted TO detin,
ltely fix the matter but have failed.
That prices would be shattered is
almost certainty he said.
! Few people realize that many Of
the articles on sale in the various
hardware stores are selling at the
same prices that existed before the
war, whereas, if the dealer were to
90 to the manufacturer and attempt
to purchase the article he would have
to pay double and in some cases
more" continued Mr. Sheets. IN

PROHIBITION GETS
FURTHER STRENGTH
IN SUPREME COURT
State ais Power to Absolutely
Deny Manufacture, Gift, Sale
or Purchase.
TO HOLD FOR PERSONAL
USE NOT ORGANIC RIGHT

Washington, Dec 11.-With a de-
cision upholding the Idaho Prohibl-
ton law, the supreme court today
gave an opinion which may be one
of the most far reaching victories for
bone dry prohibition yet recorded.
It was held that citizen has no
constitutional rights to possess liquors
for his personal use if state wishes
to forbid it.
Justice McReynolds, who gave the
courts opinion, held that a state "has
power absolutely to prohibit manufac'
ture, gift, purchase. sale or transporta'
ton of intoxicating liquors within its
borders without violating the consti
tuition"
We further think" he added, iii
clearly follows from our numerous de
cisions upholding prohibition legisla
ton that the right to hold intoxicating
liquors for personal use is not one o.
those fundamental privileges of a cit
izen of the United States which NJ
state may abridge."

odds, only to find their comrades cut
to pieces. Most of them were lying
dead from stab wounds. Now the
Alpini battalions found themselves in
the center of concentration of en-.
emy forces, which gradually encir-
cled them. Some of the battaliOns
maneuvered and were carried back
and forth in the fury of the fighting.
Others remained on the summit with
the enemy surrounding them. At 8
o'clock on Wednesday morning, the
colonel of these battalions sent his
last report to the generals. 1t said:
The enemy is on all sides and am
about to charge That was the last
ever heard, of him or any of his men.
The enveloping masses Of gallant
Alpini and the Alpini band, which had
gone to rescue the Bersagleri, was
wiped out of existence. The major
who recounted these events gathered
the remnants OF the division and
fought out the remainder of the day
until the new Italian line Of defense
was formed across the Franzella and
Gazena passes leading to the Brenta
valley and plains. 1t is here the lines
are now resting, with good prospects
of holding. All officers are confident
of holding when the new attack,
which is expected in few days, is
made.
