State Sheriff Shanks calls attention
to the article run in many papers of
the state announcing that the govern.
ment will allow the manufacture Of
200 gallons Of wine for home consump.
ton In any family OF the state. He
says that the regulation covers what
the federal government will allow
without the collection of revenue. but
that under the state law there is no
right to manufacture even a part of
gallon. let alone 200 gallons. He
says the manufacture of any amount
OF wine. or having 1t in possession,
may lead to trouble on tho part of
those who take 1t for granted that
they are allowed the privilege of 200
gallons under the federal regulation.

the manufacture or handling of wine

the FEDERAL regulation, the sheriff says

ously, assuring the cops that he was
willing to make an affidavit that no
liquor Of any sort was on the car, but
the policemen persisted and finally
discovered five pints tucked away in
an out OF the way corner. Hamilton
then explained that the influenza was
so bad at Seattle. Wash, that he had
been persuaded to take little OF the
liquor to the Washington metropolis,
to be used for preventive purposes
against the epidemic. The policemen
were obdurate, however, and confis-

pose of the course is to meet a need
