Third Largest Brewery in U. S. Becomes Great est Beverage Food
 Producer.
TO SPEND MILLIONS
Change from Beer Making and Selling to Soft Drink Making and Selling
 Great Task.

When the State of Washington changed over into the dry" column the Seattle Brewing & Mailing Com pany was confronted with a real problem. A brewing plant that rank ed perhaps third in the United States rand represented literally millions in investment, was entirely "out of a job"
 Determined to utilize the splendid facilities of the great modern brew ing establishment, it was decided upon by the executive officers to manufacture the popular cereal bev erage-foods. Quickly organizing the Rainier Products Company, Presi. dent Louis Heinrich began the con version of the huge plant into ( ' f7manufactory for Rainier Cereal Pro ducts, achieving a result that has justified his large confidence and has marked MT. Heinrich as a most i'm portant figure in the industrial de velopment of the Northwest.
 But to establish itself so firmly in the new field, the Rainier Pro ducts Company conducted one of the most comprehensive, aggressive and brilliant advertising campaigns i ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast i Over $200,000 was expended to carry 1 on this great campaign which won countrywide recognition and interna : tionaf demand as a soft drink with | out a peer, for the wonderful Rain | fer beverage.
 Following this admiral reception accorded Rainier, Rainier Special an6 Rainier Book by the public, MI Heinrich is perfecting plans to spenC as much as three millions of dol lars, if necessary, to put the new ! big, adequate way-to make it Vir tually the American drink, with it. home in the great Northwest.
 Indications, however, presage this nationwide success without such { vast expenditure. The unique Soft but Satisfying" advertising campaign is being backed up by unusually re sultative salesmanship, and the hoped for goal bids fair to be reached in a very short time. Orders are roll ing in by the score for carloads oi the Rainier Beverages. Not a day has passed since the campaign opened that the Rainier Products Company has been less than nine to fifteer carloads behind in filling the myr iads of orders received, with the prospect that such conditions vii increase rather than diminish
 MT. Heinrich is big man physical ly as we'll as mentally. He says the only things that people in this fast operating world have time to notice are the big things. Thinking in this large way his business dealings arc on a large scale, and he is just 1T ] his element developing such a biz institution as the Rainier Products Company is becoming

SINGING ASSISTS

 MUSIC DIRECTOR

CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, Calif., May 13.-Some of the most effective singing lessons are those given to men while on a "hike." according to LeRoy w. Allen. music director for the 10th Division. While singing at Field camps is recreation al to a large degree. Mr Allen says, nevertheless the men give it particu- lar attention as variation from camp routine which is more notice able in the field than in the big can tonment here; and consequently get nore out of it.
 Singing in a field camp generally resolves itself into one or two regi- mental lessons on some particular song and then a series of "camp fire songs" in which the men gather around the blazing logs in traditional style and sing literally anything and everything, from grand opera to rag time. And there are men in nearly every regiment who have made liv- ing singing both

HARDSHIP WORKED OLD RESIDENTS
 NEAR THE BORDER

MEXICO CITY, May 15 Rigid requirements of the United States Government in regard to proofs of American citizenship before pass ports are issued have worked hard ships on a number of old-time resi- dents of Mexico who always have regarded themselves as Americans. The case of A. c. Savage, civil en- gineer, is the most notable, for MT Savage, although 70 years old, has still to convince the American con- sulate that he is an American citi- zen.
 According to MT Savage, he was born in Brooklyn, but, after the lapse of more than half a century, he has found it impossible to produce citi zenship proofs required by the Amer ican Government.
 During his adventurous career, MT Savage located railways in almost every part of the then wild United States, including the line of the Texas Pacific in the Southwest In the Black Hills he fought Indians with Colonel w. E. Cody and in the old Indian Territory he served as deputy United States Marshal in 1S75-76 He was the first city engin- ger of Fl Paso and laid out the towns 6f Brownsville, Eagle Pass and Laredo. Despite his years he now is engaged in a three months trip through the Pacific Coast States of Mexico. His only son is serving in the American Army in France.

London, Feb. 1.-THE remarkable
statement that France and Great
Britain have recognized the Ukraine
republic and sent diplomats repre-
sentatives there is contained in an Of
fetal statement sent out by the Rus
sian wireless news agency and issued
here through a press bureau. The
statement occurs in the course of a
report of the proceedings at the
Brest- Litovsk conference of Feb. 1, at
which NJ. Sevruik, who apparently is
the new chairman of the Ukrainian
delegation, is reported as saying that
by an act of the Ukrainian rada on
Nov. the URrainian republic de-
clared that these diplomatic repre-
sentatives had been appointed.
NJ. Sevruik is reported to have quot
ed from the act passed by the rada as
follows:
"By this act its Ghe Ukrainian) in
ternational position is recognized by
the council of workmens and soldiers
delegates, as well as by the repre-
sentatives of the four allied states
and also by the French republic and
the British government, which have

sentatives to the government of the

AMERICA
Declares Senator Lewis
Reviewing Attitude
That Lead Up to
World War.

Washington, Feb. AZ Ger
many's war lords were scath-
ingly denounced and Ameri-
cans were urged to fight for
"the democracy implanted by
Lincoln and advanced by Will
son" in an address commence
rating the birthday anniversary
of President Lincoln, delivered
today by Senator Lewis of Il
linois. The German peace Of
fers were declared to be only
"a ruse to murder"
Struggles of the worlds democra-
cies to retain their liberty were re-
counted by Senator Lewis, quoting
the German poet Goethe that chose
who have liberty must fight to keep
it, He referred to President Lincoln
as 1.-The apostle of the liberty of man
and the standard bearer of the democ-
racy of the world" This nations
progress and freedom, he declared, is
the worlds inspiration for republican
government.
mo democracy was ever FOUNDED,
he said, that did not have to fight
to continue it's existence or maintain
it's ideals.
From the envy of our situation,
from jealousy of our progress, ha-
tired was aroused in the hearts of 9TH
ers. Americas institutions of free
dom, inspiring mankind to her exam
pie, inf1amed the souls of the royal
rulers of Prussia with fear and in
spired them to the war of destruction
of all that America stood for and was
living for. This to them was neces-
sary that they might avoid American

1t has been charged, Senator Lewis
said, that America under President

Military Men Believe Al
lied Line Will Hold
Against Any Hun
Force.

Washington, Feb. How
Russia's complete withdrawal
from, the war will affect the
Allies and the United States in
a military way cannot be ac-
curately estimated at this time,
officials here believe, despite
the fact that on paper the Rus
sian collapse would seem to
give the Germans a great num-
erical superiority Of troops on
the western front.
Military men, confident that thu Al
lied line on the western front viii
hold against any German force that
can be thrown against it, profess not
to regard the Russian separate peace
as the menace it would appear.
The fact that ], 500, 900 German pris-
oners will be freed to return to Ger
many is regarded with no alarm Mil
itary men say they could not quickly
be recognized into efficient military
units. The general opinion here is
that Germany would be more inter-
ested in keeping the prisoners in Rus
STA rather than risk having them car
Try Bolshevik doctrine back to Ger
many.
| The 147 AuStro-German and Bulga-
rian divisions on the Russian front
which will entirely be released by a
separate peace, are regarded as al
ready having been stripped of their
electives which have been transferred
to the western front Military ex-
perts say, in addition, that Germany
would be Obliged to keep some OF
these 147 divisions in the vast con-
quered territory for garrison pur-
poses.
The one outstanding fact is that the
military experts are sure the rein
forcements the Germans can draw
from the Russian front cannot over
i whelm the western line.
Russia at this time owes the United
States $1S7, $4,000 advanced for sup
plies, which already have gone ltc
Russia. For that sum the govern
ment holds Russian bonds. WhetheC
this vast sum will be total loss t.
the United States depends on whether
the ultimate government in Russis
decides to repudiate the debt. A cTedi
of 1925, OO0, 900 was established at the
treasury for Russia, but only $187,
$4,000 was used when payments wer'
stopped.

RUSSIA CONFIRMS
ITS WITHDRAWAL
FROM WAR arena

London, Feb. denomination OF
the German report that Russia has
withdrawn from the war is contained
in an official Russian statement re
ceived here today.
The peace negotiations with the
Central powers have been ended, the
statement says. The Russian delega-
ton refused to sign a treaty provid-
ing for annexation by Germany. New
ertheless Russia will not continue the
war with the Germans and Austrians,
''workmen and peasants, like our
selves"
The statement says Russia declares
the war with Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, Turkey and Bulgaria to have
ended, Russian troops simultaneously
receiving an order for complete de-
mobilization of all fronts. For the
defense of the frontier some detach-
ments of younger soldiers will be left.

FARMERS
TO HELP PRODUCE
SUGAR And SYRUP
Bees; Sugar Naples and su-
gar Beets Can Help U. S.
Get Normal Supply

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-Su-
gars and syrups can be produced on
the farms and in villages by the use
of ordinary kitchen equipment to help
make up the average of 81 pounds,
the estimated sugar for each person
in the United States last year. A few
sugar maple trees, well-kept colonies
Of bees, hundred feet of sugar beets
raised in the garden, or a small patch
of sweet sorghum, and Gull OF other
surplus apples which might go to
waste unless made into apple syrup
may each be made to contribute to
our sugar supply.
The present limited sugar supply
can be increased if many more fam
lies, in regions where the sugar ma
pie grows, would each make maple
syrup or sugar from ten or more
maple trees. Ten trees, under .ordin-
airy conditions, can be expected to
yield about four gallons of syrup or
thirty pounds of sugar.
Maple sugar making is an art of
the pioneer settlers of America learn
ed from the Indians and for years it
has been a home and farm industry.
The process is not so complicated that
anyone who has the opportunity need
hesitate to try it. Find a sugar maple
tree ten or more inches in diameter;
bore a hole three-eighths of an inch
or slightly more in diameter; insert a
metal spout or one made by punch
ing the pitch from a section of elder;
set a bucket under it that the sap
may collect; boil this down IN a ket-
tie or shallow pan on a kitchen stove
| to the proper density for maple syrup.
If sugar is preferred, boil it down
| further until it is quite thick, taking
| ing care that it does not burn, and let
it crystalline.
Sugar weather. often starts by the
middle of February in the southern
part of the sugar-maple region. The
first sap is sweetest There is no time
to be lost in talking; get ready to take
advantage of the first warm sunny
days. "Old timers say the outlook
is good for a good sugar season.
The office of Sugar Investigations
of the United States Department of
Agriculture upon application will
send instructions for making syrups
and sugars at home.
