Cannot Estimate Some Stores.

The estimates do not take into
consideration liquor which may be
stored in cellars or attics of pros
pective consumers. Nor do they IN
clude any stocks which wholesale or
retail dealers may not sell before
the prohibition wave catches them
These are not measurable by any
official reports.
Revenue bureau officials calculate
that at present bonded warehouses
connected with distilleries, but under
lock and key of government agents,
hold less than 90,00G,000 of the 2oo.-
100000 gallons in stock when manu-
facture ceased, September 3, 1917,

AIRY have been less than the 1o,ooo,ooe
or more gallons in December, accord
ing to indications based on prelim-
mary reports from revenue agents.
On January l 112. 100000 gallons of
distilled spirits were reported in
bond. including 6,600,000 gallons not
available for beverage purposes.
About 10 per cent of those figures
must be deducted as allowance for
leakage and evaporation from bar
reis. On December /, the latest date
for which itemzed figures are avail
able, the stock of distilled spirits in
bond was distributed as follows:
Whisky, 10S,S46,000 gallons; rum,

National prohibition next July /

Ions of liquor in bonded warehouses,
barred from disposition for beverage
purposes, if the present demand for
whisky continues during intervening
months. officials who have observed
the effect of high taxes in the past

GETTING ON TO SPRING.

It's getting on to the spring again.
The robins soon will sing again,
The tulips and the daffodils
Will bud and come to bloom
The skies will soon be blue again,
The meadows look like new again,
And beautiful and lovely things
viii smile where now is gloom
Men do not doubt that spring again
viii bring the birds to sing again;
Men do not view the leafless trees
OF winter in dismay,
Nor sigh, when comes the frost to
them,
That every rose is lost to them:
They know that every sleeping plant
Shall hear the call of May.
Men know the gentle sun again
Shall bid the brooks to run again:
They know the hollyhocks once more
Shall blossom by the gate
The blue shall find the skies again,
The lily dead shall rise again,
And all the orchards come to bloom
If they will only wait
Yet when TO them comes snow again
And bitter grief and woe again,
They bow their heads and wall aloud
That life's a hopeless thing
Forgetting they shall rise again
Meath blue and happy skies again,
And come from death at Gods COM
mand
To all the joys of spring.
