NATION WILL BE DRY
AFTER JULY l, 1919
President Wilson Has Signed Food
Bill With Dry Amendment
Attached

On and after July 1, 1919, the ma
ton is to be be bone dry.
| This was assured Thursday when
President Wilson signed the food bill
containing the Jones Nationwide
| Prohibition Amendment. The effect
of the new law is as follows:
| After May 1, 1919, until the con-
clusion of the war, and thereafter
until rehabilitation is complete and
announced in a presidential proclaim
alton, no grain, cereals, fruits or
other products shall be used in the
manufacture or production of beer,
wine or other intoxicating malt or
vinous liquors.
Then after June. 80, 1919, until
the Presidents proclamation an
nouncing the complete demobiliza-
| ton of troops, no beer, wine or other
Intoxicating liquors shall be sold for
beverage purposes anywhere in the
United States.
No one knows how long it will
take to demobiliize the army but it
will probably require two or three
years at least. With the states rati-
flying the national prohibition amend
ment at the rate they are ratifying
| it, it is quite probable that the ma
ton will become permanently dry
through national amendment before
the Presidents order annulling this
war order goes into effect. 1t re-
quires the ratification of the nation
al amendment by the legislatures Of
SO states to adopt the amendment.
Already IA state legislatures have
! ratified it and it is expected that the
other needed 20 will ratify it this
coming winter.
The four Minneapolis breweries
all closed last week and will remain
closed until further orders. The st.
Paul breweries also have closed.
More than 1900 breweries thruout
the United States have closed in COM
pliance with the presidential order.
1t is said that the closing order will
work very little hardship among the
brewery workers in Minnesota, as all
have known for months that the
breweries would close and most of
them have procured other positions.
Distilleries were closed early last
summer, and only light wines may
be manufactured in the United
States. Importation of liquor also
was cut off by the Presidents order.
Sale of intoxicating liquor will be
permitted, however, until July 1,

The proposition will be laid before the next legs-

permit the bonding of the state
construction of six thousand miles surfaced

adequate road building program, as Illinois and
Pennsylvania have already DONE Minnesota too should
do this thing and retire the bonds by special
automobiles and motor trucks. Two things how
ever, should be done before any such amount is ex-
pended The present system of state should be

ogrolling activities of various boards of county
