DIsTILLERS DOUBT
IF PROHIBITION

Name Arkansas Among The
States Seeking A
Referendum.

Chicago. April %. --Practicability
of enforcing the national prohibition
amendment by concurrent mower" OF
congress and the states. was ques.
toned today at a meeting of the dis
tillers' committee. in charge Of the
distilling industries fight against
prohibition.
The point was raised in an opin-
ion submitted bv Levi Maver. coun-
sci for the committee. following re-
ports that referendum petitions had
been filed, were in process of filing,
or were in circulation in Ohio. Mis-
souri,, California. Washington. Ore
gon, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska
Oklahoma. Arkansas. Colorado. Mich
gan and Maine.
"ln my opinion section 1. of the
amendment is not self-exccuting and
until legislation has been enacted to
enforce the amendment. the latter will
have no effect and will be practically
a dead letter." said the opinion,
which added that was confirmed
by the next section which expressly
provided for enforcement by stating
that congress and the several states
shall have concurrent power to en-
force this article bv appropriate lep-
islation.'
ut is. of course. impossible for
congress and the legislatures of 4S
states to act Jointly. that is. concur
rently. The congressional and legis-
lative wills of congress and the As
different legislatures, if not exercis-
ed in the same Identical way. will lead
to confusion that is almost incompre-
hensible.
Furthermore. if any of the dS
states acts in way different from
that. congress may legislate, or first
the states substantially, or if any
states legislate first and congress
thereafter and the provisions of such
legislation are not identical the con-
flict to which ! have referred will
instantly arise"

RESPONDED TO WAR
need, REPORT SHOWS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 1s-J.
w. Oliver, director of the Indiana His
torical Commission, has received the
report Of the Indiana committee on
food production covering the years
1917-191s, from Walter @. Fitch, secre-
tary.
The report states that as a result of
the statewide campaign for increased
production of corn in 1917, an area Of
100000 acres was planted in Indiana,
100000 acres in excess Of the 1916
crop. The yield was 203 100000 bush
els, as compared to 172,65s,00o bush
els for 1916
Wheat Increase
During 1917 an area of 100000
acres of wheat was planted in the
state, as compared to 2,116.000 in 1915.
AS a result of the campaign for even
more intensive production in 1918, an
area of 100000 acres was planted.
The campaign for home and vacant
lot gardens resulted in 100000 gardens
being established in the state in 1917.
This number represented an increase
of 100 per cent over the previous sea-
son. In 1918, $4,000 gardens were
titled in the state. About 100000 acres
were devoted to growing vegetables
for home consumption.

To Ward Off Summer
Complexion Ills

To keep the face su.oosh, mite and
beautiful all summer, there's nothing
quite SO good as ordinary Imercolized
wax. Discolored or freckled skin, SO
common at this season, is gently,
gradually absorbed by the wax and
replaced by the newer, fresher skin
beneath. The face exhibits no trace
of the wax, which is applied at bed
time and washed off mornings. Greasy
creams, powders and rouges, on the
other hand, are apt to appear more
conspicuous than usual these days Of
excessive perspiration. Just get an
ounce of mercoliZed wax at any drug
store and use it like cold cream. This
will help any skin at once and in a
week or SO the complexion will look
remarkably clear, young and healthy.

ITS all very WELL" said Mrs. Con-
nor, Ito talk about making over
clothes, but l haven't found that 1t
pays at all"
AS Mrs. Stanton leaned forward to
answer the other women of the club
leaned back comfortably in their rock
ing chairs to enjoy more fully this dis
cussion on clothes, the subject so dear
to every feminine heart.
You and I surely have had differ
ent results, then. Everything I am
wearing today has been made over, or
at least changed in some way from its
original style, and I am sure this suit
and blouse are wearing as we'll as any
I might have bought this spring." Mrs.
Stanton answered.
What makes the difference? Your
clothes look wonderfully we'll and
those which I have remodeled have
that rather forlorn, made-over look at
first and show worn places and holes
before 1 have worn them more than
a month or So"
Perhaps it Is because, while I buy
fewer clothes than you, l get better
material in the first place and always
take better care Of them than you do.
You know you are always looking for
bargains and argue that buying cheap
things does away with the necessity
of brushing, cleaning regularly, and
hanging up your clothes carefully, as
l do mine.
Il remember, when l bought this
suit, there was another one which l
liked almost as we'll for less money
but, since 1 realized the material in it
would look shabby by the end Of one
years service, 1 decided on this one.
wore this one quite steadily for
two years and then remade it this
spring. 1t can easily be worn another
year. In the meantime, have enjoyed
wearing the suit because I have al
ways felt welldressed and comfort
able when I had 1t on. The happy
combination of good material and good
workmanship showed in it and I have
been contented to get along without
some other clothes I might otherwise
have been inveigled into buying"
well, perhaps that Is true Of your
suit, but I doubt whether you have
better material in that blouse you
have on than there was in the one l
attempted to dye. 1t was mustard col
ored, done in that gay embroidery
such as everyone was wearing a year
ago. was tired and sick of it,
though it was not in the least shabby
so thought I'd color it. AS soon as ]
put 1t in water. all the different col.
ors used in the embroidery started
running and the result Is a smeared

the farm bureau of Preble county, and

~, Will join in the annual picnic of the
farm bureau, which will be held in

mic. He will make an effort to have
State Grange Master Taber here and
make an address.

movement in the county is taking on
momentum and that the county
grange Is in a flourishing condition.
He says the organization has a mem
bership of more than one thousand.
Speaking Of the classification of
property for taxation, Deputy Bragg
declared the county grange is opposed
to it and that every effort will be put
forth by the organization to defeat It..
Concerning the movement now on

tors In the county Bragg said it was
practically certain the farmers Of JEFF
