The Prohibition Amendment
Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Ratification
today of the federal constitutional pro-
hlbition amendment made the United
States the first great power to take legls-
lative action to permanently stop the
liquor traffic.
Nebraska's vote gave the necessary
a1hrmative three-f urth majority OF the
States to make effective the amendment
submitted by Congress in December, 1917.
1t was followed by similar action in the
legislatures of Missouri and Wyoming.
making thirty-eieht States in all which
have approved a "dry" America. At
nrmatlve action by some of the ten State
legislatures yet to act is predicted by
prohibition advocates
Under the terms of the amendment,
the manufacture, sale and importation of
intoxicating liquors must cease one year
after ratification, but prohibition will be
a fact in every State much earlier be-
cause oil the war measure forbidding the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic bever-
ages after June Both until the demoblli-
eaton of the military forces is completed
Under the war time measure, exporta-
ton OF liquor is permitted, but the great
STOCKS now held IN bond warehouses will
nave to be disposed of before the federal
amendment becomes effective
discussion as to whether the new
amendment becomes a part of the con-
stltutlon now that thirty SIX States have
ratliled 1T or whether it becomes part
OF the basic law only when each State
mas certified its action to the secretary of
state led today to a search for precedent

MUNITIONS SENT VILLA IN 1915
BY GERMAN AGENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T. Evidence de-
signed to show that Francisco Villa, the
Mexican bandit leader, received $3.50 00C
worth of munitions paid for by German
agent through the Mississippi Valley
Trust Co of St. Louis in 1915, was pre-
scented today to the Senate committee III
vestigating German propaganda, by Ma
jor E. Humes, in charge of the investi-
CATION.
Major Humes said the money was sent
by F. A. Sommerfield, now interned as
an enemy alien who received credit to
that extent from the st. Louis bank
through the Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York. The munitions were manufacture
ed by the Western Cartridge Co. at AL
ton, H., and shipped to Hipolito Villa, a
brother of the bandit at Ell Paso, Texas,
according to the documents presented by
Major Humes.

by the prospective stoppage of the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
as hundreds of millions of dollars derived
from Internal revenue will have to be OBJ
tanned from other sources. Laws for en-
forcement of the amendment also will
have to be passed by congress.
Only minimum of unemployment is
expecte d to result, as the cumulative
severity of successive restrictive meas
ures adopted since the war began already
has caused many distilers and brewers
to seek other uses for their plants. Hun
dreds of millions are invested in distil-
leries and breweries
More than half the territory of the
United States already is dry through State
action or local option elections. Until
recently the movement into dry States of
limited quantities of liquor for personal
use was permitted, but the supreme court
ruled several days ago that the Reed
'bone-dry" amendment made such traffic
illegal.

A THRIFTY PAIR.

Ben Franklin was thrifty man,
To this you'll all agree;
Instead of squandering what he got,
He used frugality.
His wealth increased from year to
year,
He won fame and position,
But not alone did he succeed
In gaining his ambition.
To smooth the way, to help along
There stood his saving wife,
And twas this partnership of thrift
Gave them happy life.
Some folks attribute wealth to luck,
IT'S fortunes known foundation
His luck to find a thrifty mate
Was Bens interpretation.
