Great Mistake, Says Brewer.
Titus Mareck. secretary Of the Min
neapolis Brewing Co.. said:
''If 1t Is what the people want it is
proper that they should have it. OF
course it will affect the brewing in
dustry seriously. In my judgment 1t
is great mistake not to differentiate
between light wines and beer as
against whisky and spirits. Wine and
beer are in fact a great help to that
end which prohibitionists are trying
by drastic legislation to reach"
Called "High Tide"
Author M. Smith, wholesaler, said:
"As the one man in Minneapolis

act. It means absolute prohibition

comes, will be general.

come the reorganization or regenera-

way to handle the problem Is by strict

Personal Importation Allowed.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Smith pointed out
the bill, the most drastic ever enacted
governing liquor distribution, does
not prohibit to the extent Of actual
exclusion.
And North Dakota man or Iowa man
or man from other state who ID in
Minneapolis, may take back with him
in his baggage, a small quantity or
liquor. Unless such action shall bring
him into conflict with state laws, there
is no reason why he should not take a
gGkion of liquor with him, so far as the
new postal bill amendment Is concern
ed. The danger Of taking more than
gallon would be the liability Of being
suspected of being a blindpigger.

said that an estimate that $50 men

Hardest Blow in North Dakota.
North Dakota is the biggest dry
state customer that Minneapolis has,
the volume Of business done with peo-
pie resident within its confines being
by far the most important. The shut

amendment, which prohibits any ship
ments of LIQUOR into states that are
dry, Is the hardest single blow. the

signed the measure was received IN

ferences Of liquor men. Fred w. zoll-

There is no philanthropy about this. From a
purely business standpoint, increased yield s sound
common-sense for Armour
In Armour's relations with the consumer, In
creased supply means IoIOer prices. But since
Armours profit on business done has for years
aged approximately three cents the dollar, it also
means increased profits, due to the larger OOLune.
Therefore, in working for increased production,
tripLe-sided beneft is reaized-LoUUer prices for
to pay, greater reUenue to the producer
and increased profits for Armour.
To the farmer, the of Armour stands for
that of which he is in most need-a steady market.
For through almost endless chain of refgerators

Consumer Market based on Uolue and maintained
by the great modern selling force, ADVERTISING,
Armour enables the individual farmer to sell to
the WhoIe American people.

iShed the oldtne scrawny range steer and has pro-
duced the more profitable corn-fed animal And the

responsible for this by taking the market TO the
producer, has given the farmer twelve-month-in-

Without methods such az Armour's 1t would be
impossible for the farmer to take TeUenue from his
land in proportion to its increased value per acre.
Thus in the solution Of market problems alone,
without considering the free Bureau Of Advisory Agr-
cultural Service which Armour maintains to aid pro-
duceTs, this great food organization has materially
helped to grade-up by the Incentive Of ready sale.
The importance to the consumer of ths broad
Armour campaign for production betterment must DO

tals-and building for the future.
Such basic work cannot fail in its effort to reduce
living prices.
Thus, 1t becomes important that every consumer
of meats and meat products, who believes in the work
Armour is doing, should lend his support.
To insist that your olOn table be supplied with
Armour products is support of very tangible kind.
