+ For some time there has been q
spasm Of unrest among the farm
hands Of. the state and during the
campaign just ended circulars were
distributed around in which the labor
element was going. to demand an eight
hour day on the farm and q wage Of
$40 per day for the eight hours. II
has been runored that Ia strike of
farm hands is being contemplated. We.
do not know whether this is so or not
but here is an article from the Fargo
Courier News which gives some color
to the rumor:
Special privilege is planning to
keep up its fight on the farmers Of
North Dakota even though they we're
decisively defeated at the referen-
dunn election and in their suits start
ed in the federal and North Dakota
courts, according to rumors now cir
culating in Fargo.
Through leak from the inner
councils Of the interests fighting the
farmers program, The Courier News
has Just learned that a plot has been
Matched by these interested whereby
it is hoped to get the Nonpartisan
League leaders into bad repute with
the membership Of that organization.
This plot according to reports, is
nothing less than to import an army
Of thugs into the state with instrpc-
tions that these stir up trouble be-
tween the farmers and the harvest
crews during the busy season in the
state. Some OF these thugs are to
masquerade as i. w. wv. organizers
among the harvest hands and induce
the men to agree on prohibitiye
wage SCALE Others are to commit
depredations Of various kinds, such as
destroying farm machinery, put fire to
grain, hay and elevator buildings
whenever possible.
The thugs will work under instrYc-.
tions from those who have hired
them and they are to convey the il1-
preston wherever they 60 that they

RECKLESS Beverage

Charles F. Repp, a prominent party
Prohibitionist, and at one time candi-
date of that party for Governor of
New Jersey, is a prominent fruit
grower. He has just organized the
Repp Orchard Products Company, in
corporated, capitalized at $150,000.
A site of Az acres has been pur-
chased opposite the Repp cold storage
plant in South Glassboro, and a large
factory will be erected there for the ex-
tracing of juices from apples and
other fruits raised in the expansive
South Jersey fruit belt.
There are eighteen i~ncorporators in
the new fruit juice company. They
are Charles F. Repp, Charles w. Hoy,
C. w. Schwenzfeier, A. w. Marshall,

GERMAN SOLDIERS AND BEER.

According to Edward Landsberg,
head Of the United States Brewing
company of Chicago, Germany has a
ruling that twO-thirds of all the beer
made in the empire must go to the
men at the front. Each German SOL
der has a daily allowance of one gal
Ion of beer. "We do not know If this
statement is true" says the American
Issue, 'but if it is, it explains the a v
ages committed by the Germans In
Belgium and northern France. 1t ex-
plains the butchery and mutilation Of
babies and the unspeakable crimes
committed on helpless women and
bears out the declaration of science
and medicine that beer Is a brutalizer.
eff these horrors result from a beer
diet, then in the name of America keep
beer away from our soldiers"

EIks' National Convention Ends

With the installation of officers last
Friday the Grand Lodge of Elks COM
pleted its annual reunion at Atlantic
City.
Frank l.. Rain, of Nebraska, who
was installed Grand Exalted Ruler, de-
clared in an address that the member
ship of the order would be increased
by at least $4,000 the coming year and
said he felt that it was not too much
to hope for an increase of 100000.
EIks PrO-American
The Elks are certainly pro-Ameri-
can. A vigorous arrangement of Boil
shevism, a rebuke for lodges that take
sides on prohibition, a plea for real
Americanism as the keynote of the re-
construction period, a sweeping victory
for the administration forces in the
election and a striking address by
Commander Evangeline Booth, of the
Salvation Army, the first oma to
address the national convention, were
features Wednesday of the first exec
utive session of the Grand Lodge Of
the Elks of the nation.
Retiring Grand Exalted Ruler
Campbell, in ~excoriating the revolu-
tionary "reds," declared: 81 recon-
mend that strong and vigorous resolu-
tons be passed, placing our organiza-
ton upon record as pledged to do
everything to drive from this country
all organizations and individuals who
are not in sympathy with our form of
government"
With reference to prohibition, he de-
clared: every Elk is entitled to his
views as to the propriety of prohibit
ton, but as to the question of obedi-
ence to the law, all Elks can and must
have but one opinion, and that is we
must in all instances observe the law.
The order of Elks cannot tolerate
either violation or attempt to avoid
the law as it exists upon the statute
books"
The 1920 convention will take place
in Chicago. Boston's strenuous oppo-
sition based on the alleged lack of pa
triotism of Mayor Thompson, of
Chicago, was. uncovered too late to
effect the chances of the windy city.
Los Angeles is already in the race for
the 1921 convention.

BEER N

THE most sinister thing about beer
is its apparent harnIessness," says
DR.. Edwin F. Bowers. "Whisky, wine,
gin, brandy and other so-called hard
drinks long hid behind the Biblical
bulwark, for the stomach's sake.' At
Last science and common sense COM
5ined to prove that they have no Pc
culiar medicinal value. Then beer
picked up the fallen banner. The food
values of beer and ale have been pro-
claimed so widely and e~ntertainingly
that the average person f~atuously be-
lieves in them. Besides, beer is sup
posedly the beverage of that truly neu-
trail country lying between sobriety and
inebriety. 1t is the cup of compro-
mise. I can drink beer all night with
out feeling it, is a common enough
remark.
But can you?
Modern scientific research has
shown that, contrary to general belief,
beer is propOrtionately much more
noXious than are wines or liquors. The
Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress, a con-
clave of many of the most famous ply
sicians in Europe, concluded that,
while spirituous liquors make a man
brutal and dulls his judgment, an ade-
quate amount of beer makes him slow
witted, and abOlishes judgment. While
wine or brandy in sufficient quantity,
makes a man crazy, beer tends to make
him stupid"

CLIO mile zone which covers most
north Jersey producers will be 1888
