The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-06-28

By vote of 365 to S, the House
passed the food bill, which forbids the
food stuffs from being used for liquor
The bill provides that the president
may control the distribution of food
feed and fuel for war purposes, and
appropriates $152,500,00O for the en-
forcement Of the measure. The brew
cry and wine interests are making a
frantic effort to induce the senate to
modify the bill as passed by the house,
allowing food stuffs to be used for the
manufacture of beer and light wines,
but the feeling prevails that the SEN
ate will accept the house prohibition
measure, making the country practi-
cally "bone dry" during the war.

entirely dry for six months, altho
many will have terrific thirst long
before that time. Despite the efforts
made by the Attorney General and the
States Attorney to stop the sale of
liquor entirely, it is said that little

who wants to pay dollar bottle for
beer? One man is said to have sold
two barrels of beer this week for $50
barrel. The price is rather stiff,
but it must be remembered that there

MICHIGAN VERDE IS
 POPULAR STOCK HERE
Underwriting Syndicate For Jerome Flotation M e e t s With Much Encouragement In Bisbee.

One of the popular mining fiotations in the Jerome District, which is re- ceiving much attention in Bisbee, is the Michigan-Verde Copper Company. This organization owns 535 acres of ground close to the center of the pro- ducing area and the officers of the property are forecasting much good fortune after the development starts.
 Michigan-Verde lies little to the northwest of the famous United Verde glory hole, which may soon be mined by steam shovels. Geologists who have gone over the ground declare teat the Michigan-Verde property is most advantageously located with re- gard to the old producing mine of Sen ator Clark. Frederick Overfield is representing the promotion syndicate in Bisbee.
