DEATH OF MRS. FRANK vARo

Coming as a great shock to the COM
munity was the death of Mrs. Frank
Varo OF the Leavenworth Hospital
about 9 o'clock Monday evening. Mrs.
Varo had not been in the best of health
since the latter part of January when
she contracted the Influenza but
seemed to be improving up to about a
week ago when she was again taken
suddenly i'll and upon investigation it
was found that she had developed an
acute case of appendicitis. DR.. Cong
don of Wenatchee was called in con-
sultation with DR.. Judah and after an
examination had been made it was de-
cided that an operation would be nee
.essary to save her life. DR.. Congdon
performed the operation last Friday
and she rallied from the effects in a
most surprising way. But in the sue
ceeding days she began to grow weak
er and hope was finally given up Mon
day afternoon.
Mrs. Varo who before her marriage
to Mr.. Varo in 1914, was Miss Martha
Carr, sister of Harry E. Carr, came
to Leavenworth from Clinton Iowa in
1906 and has resided in this vicinity
ever since. She made many friends
and was known for her kind and char
liable disposition. During the illness
and death of Chas. Fox and his mother
Mrs. Brender, when nurses were un-
able to be had, she volunteered her SER
vices and went to the home and worked
day and night During those strenu-
Gus days it is believed that she con-
tracted the disease that contributed
so much towards her death. She was
a devoted wife and a friend to all in
need and will be sorely missed in the
community.
The funeral services were held from
the home Wednesday afternoon where
a large crowd gathered to pay their fl
nal tribute to this noble woman. There
were many beautiful floral offerings,
among them one from the Forestry
Department, in which service Mr.. Varo
has spent several years. Mr.. Harry
Carr, brother of the deceased accom-
panied by Mrs. Carr, arrived here a
few hours after his sisters death.
The funeral services were in charge
of the Leavenworth Undertaking Co..
the remains being laid to rest in the
local cemetery.

BOOZE NOT A DEAD ISSUE

Away out here in this northwest
corner of Yankland we have foolishly
supposed prohibition to have been
adopted as a national policy beginning
with July l, next, as a war measure,
and on January 16, 1920, as the result
of the formal ratification of the joint
resolution of congress by an over
whelming majority of the state legis-
latures. We have assumed that this
is all true, and having hidden the sa-
looms in Washington goodbye more
than three years ago, we are not par
ticularly distressed that the remain
der of the nation is to share our depri-
walton.
1t now appears that we have jumped
at conclusions. The prohibition law
adopted by congress and ratified by
the states has hole in it big enough
to virtuallynullify its conditions, ac-
cording to the press of New York,
long busted in critical analysis, and
our future perennial issue is to be the
discussion and fixation of the term,
Intoxicating liquor" The prohibi-
ton amendment forbids the manufac-
ture, sale or transportation of "intox-
icating liquor" for beverage purposes
in the United States.
Under the concurrent powers of con-
gress and the forty-eight states to en-
force the law by appropriate legisla-
ton, it is contended that all of the
states have the right to determine,
each for itself, what Intoxicating
liquor" is. Thus, Kansas, which state
has grown men who never saw a sa-
loon in their lives, may fix the alec
holic content of intoxicating liquor at
one-half of per cent, or New York,
which plainly clings to its beverages,
may place the percentage at 30 per
cent. Thus, in New York all liquors
with less than thirty per cent of alco-
hol would not be intoxicating within
the meaing of the New York interpre-
tation, and thus would be salable and
permissible to manufacture within the
state.
And even in this state the legal al
coholic content of liquor might be con
sequent upon the complexion of the
Legislature, under the New York
opinion. A legislature of "wets"
would fix the alcoholic limit at say
30 per cent, and the next legislature.
responding to the public reaction,
would come along and make the legal
limit one-half of 1 per cent.
Instead of continuing peace and
eternal dryness, we should have eter-
nal agitation and alternate spells of
wetness and dryness under the New
York discovery.
Seattle and the state would be sorry
to see the question reopened. We have
acquired the camel habit in the last
three years, and it would stir us all up
to hold out to US visions of bar rails
and cocktails, and glittering mirrors
and glassware, and the sociable meet
ing of cornwall friends, when time
means nothing, and conversation
means everything in the world

RADICAL COULDN'T TALK.
American Legion at Springfield Would
Not Allow UnAmericaniEm.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dee. S.
Trouble between the American Legion
members of this city and the local So
cialists over a lecture scheduled for
last night by Rev Irving st. John
Tucker, a radical, now out on bail after
being convicted of violation Of the es
pionage act, was averted. by Chief W
J. Juilty of the police department, who
called in Mr. Tucker when he arrived
IN the city Sunday morning and asked
him not 10 speak.
The chief made il plain that there
had been considerable agitation over
the proposed lecture and added that
since the clergyman was appealing from,
conviction of violating the espionage
act, it would be provoking trouble for
him to appear here. The minister
agreed that the chief was right and
cancelled his engagement here.

ONLY A LITTLE KEY
But 1t Made Much Trouble for
New York JeWeIer.
He Had Two Nights and One Day Of
Great Discomfort chalked Up
to the "Deprasity Of lnani-

S "It is the little things in life that
cause most Of the trouble
This wise saying of the ancient
philosopher was strikingly illustrated
a few nights ago in New York city
when the proprietor of jewelry store
in closing up for the night broke
key in the lock of the street door.
Here are some of the things that
happened then: The shopkeeper tried
in every possible way to lock the door
or get the broken key out. His eff.
forts were fruitless. All the help had
gone home and he had no one to send
for locksmith. He couldn't leave
the store alone. He was so excited
that for long time he couldn't think
of anything to do. Finally he went to
the telephone and called up his home.
His wife answered and he stammer-
ingly asked her to come down at once.
She couldn't make out what the trou-
BILE was, but caught key" flock" and
door" and suspecting burglary she
| flung on her street clothes any old
way and hastened downtown. half dis

In the meantime the husband began
to telephone for locksnAh. A sue
cession of won't answers" from the
/ telephone girl was all the satisfaction
he got. When his wife arrived he left
her in the store while he went out to
try his luck. He tramped around for
| ht,t ,x-ns
cessful as he had been on the tele
phone.
When he got back he telephoned to
police headquarters and two police
men were sent to the store. He In
sisted that they remain outside Il
watch the place. He suggested to his
wife that they go home, but she re
fused. She wouldn't think of leayin,
the place, even with the policemen out
side. So the jeweler was forced 4
remain with her. About three oclocl
in the morning he went out to an all
night lunch room and brought bac'
some food. He waited eagerly 70
morning to come, when he would b
