Householders OF Washington should
can and preserve fruits and vege-
tables this summer so far as possible

varieties OF canned goods will be
higher next winter than ever before,

In the demand and partially because
there Is some evidence that certain
large concerns are making an effort
to control the supplies Of canned
goods in this country" stated Mr.
Roberts.
The residents OF Washington now
have the opportunity to obviate the
necessity OF paying high prices for
canned fruits and vegetables next win

which took place in the house at 22O

$500 WORTH OF RUM
Is Delivered By
U. S. MARSHAL
In
BoNE-DRY CAPITAL
BY COURTS ORDER
For Man Who Pleaded
Guilty to Bringing
It To Town.

United States Marshal Splain to-
day delivered to Anthony NJ. Nolan.
of this city, 5000 worth of whtFkey.
Not only that, but the delivery Of
the whiskey in bone-dry Washington
was not only authorized but ordered
by Justice Stafford, of the District
supreme court.
Here's how it happsnOdt
Last February %. NoIsa was ar
rested for bringing the Wntakey into
the District. thereby violating the
Reed bone-dTy law. The whiskey was
seized and placed in the custody Of
Edwin B. Hesse. property clerk/o Of the
police department.
Then Nolan up and sued for the
return of the liquor, claiming that
he did not know the President had
signed the bone-dry provision. Hesss
opposed the suit, stating that the
whiskey would be needed as evidence
in the trial of Nolan. The liquor was
then put in the custody of the United
States marshal.
Nolan calmly entered a plea of
guilty, and received a suspended
sentence.
And yesterday, Justice Stafford
denied Hesse's motion to require the
marshal to turn the whiskey back to
the police department.
So today Nolan got his whiskey
back. And no doubt many a thirsty
one in Washington will get some
liquor, for Nolan, it is understood, is
not the actual owner of the whiskey,
but bought it for others
So there you are.
