Of law.-Government's Victory
10 Regarded as important

Chicago. July .6-Beer is beer and
need not he Intoxicating. and SO long
as it contains as much as one.half Of
one per cent alcohol. its manufacture

prohibition act, Federal Judge Page
held yesterday. He Overruled the de.
murrer of the StensOn Brewing com.
pany. setting forth that the govern
ment'S information failed to charge
that the compunys beer was intoxi-
eating.
The company then entered a plea Of
not guilty. 1t is expected that when
the case goes to trial the defense will
admit 1t manufactured and sold beer
containing one-half Of one per cent al
coholic content. and the jury will be
instructed to find the company guilty.
Appeal then would be taken.
The governments victory was re-
galded rs important by the district at.

Pages finding the burden of proving

moving the question as to its intOXi-
eating quality, is lifted from the gov

tent accepted for years by the In

Sheep Sanitary Board Requires
That Arizona Sheep Must
Be Dipped Before They Are

drastic regulations on the driving OF
flocks from Arizona into New Mexico,

Padilla, secretary of the board. The
action was taken Thursday
Under the boards decision the dip
ping Of Arizona sheep will be manda-
tory before they are permitted to

board has made the same requirement

their sheep into that state. Dipping
not more than five days before the
crossing is demanded by the Ari-
Zonians
The board made final arrangements
for carrying out the general dipping
order issued some time ago as no

WOMEN URGED BY
MISS WINSOR To
GET RATIF ICATI ION
1.-THE Longer We Are Kept
From Full Suffrage the More
It viii Cost" She Says at
Luncheon at AIVaradO,

A number of the Influential women
met at luncheon in the AlVarado hotel
yesterday at noon to celebrate the
passage of the suffrage amendment by
congress and to honor Miss Mary VIM
sor. the national suffrage lecturer
who has been touring the southwest
in the interest of suffrage Mrs. II.
p. Barnes presided at the luncheon as
toastm' stress; Mrs John w. Wilson,
county superintendent of schools, gave
a short address of welcome. which
was followed by toast by Mrs. Cora
Kellam, state chairman of the national
woman's party to Uncle Sans New
Citizens Here's to Ourselves" was
the theme
Miss Winsor. the chief speaker,
spoke at length upon the necessity of
action by the women of New Mexico,
If your governor doesn't think you
are worth $4,000" said the speaker,
lit must be your task to make him
see differently. 1t is 4 humiliating
position in which he has placed you.
Do the men of the state value the
women so lightly, and if they do whose
fault is it? Perhaps the governor has
not thought that a goodly part of that
$4,000 would have 10 come from
women taxpayers.
The longer we are kept from full
suffrage the more it. will cost. It will
be much less expensive to ratify the
amendment this year than to put it
off for four or six years, even though
extra sessions are called. When suf-
frage is once settled It is done forever
and the expense is done. too.
THE women of this country will
vote in the 1920 elections" declared
Miss Winsor. There is no doubt of
immediate ratification. We enter
upon the final stage of the campaign
joyously, knowing that women will be
enfranchised citizens of this great
democracy within the year"
Again urging the women of New
Mexico to cooperate in the campaign
for ratification, indicating the way the
work could be done most effectively
and advising Il strong state organiza-
ton of women who were not conf
mitted to any party but who could
WELD the big stick of their influence
for any party they chose. Miss Winsor
expressed her confidence that the goal
would be reached before the elections
of 1920.
Miss Winsor goes from here to
Santa Fe. where another demonstra-
ton has been planned to celebrate
victory of the suffrage bill.
