the war prohibition act shall be here
after construed to mean any such bev-
erage which contains One-half of

ferees regarding the use of liquor in

sonal consumption of the owner there
of and his family residing in such
dwelling and of his bona fide guests
when entertained by him therein; and
the burden of proof shall be upon the
possessor in any action concerning the
same to prove that such liquor was
unlawfully acquired, possessed and
used
The provision in the bill as it passed
the senate permitting the manufacture
of cider and Misunderstanding fruit

to read as follows:
1.-THE penalties provided in this act
against the manufacture of liquor
without a permit shall not apply to a
person manufacturing Misunderstanding
cider and fruit juices exclusively for
use in his home, but such cider may
be sold and delivered to persons hav-
ing permits to manufacture vinegar"

TWENTY THOUSAND

Victory Loan Committee to
Make Strenuous Effort to Put
Community Over Top

When the Victory Loan committee
met yesterday evening and checked
over the list, subscriptions totalled
$4,000 or nearly $4,000 short of the
goal and only three more days to go.
At last nights meeting soliciting COM
mittees were organized and an effort
will be made before Saturday evening
to call on those who have not SUBJ
scribed.
Members of the committee were
hopeful that the quota could be
reached. Failure on the part of many
to subscribe was attributed to the fact
that probably the method of payment
has not been made sufficiently clear.
The payment plan provides for 10.per
cent to accompany the application,
10 per cent in July and 20 per cent
each in the months of August, Sep
tember, October and November.
Most of the bond purchases to date
are of small denomination. The larg-
est individual subscriber is the Ida

TO BE READY SOON !
FOR STREET WORK
Ordinance Creating Improve
ment District and Adopting
Specifications is Passed

|. The proposed Improvement of Sec
ond, Pacific, Tacoma and Yakima
streets was advanced a step Tuesday
evening by the city council when an
ordinance was passed creating local
Improvement district No. 1S and
adopting the plans and specifications
as prepared by Engineer Stradling.
A call for bids on the proposed work
will be issued next week.
The specifications call for the pres
ent surface of the streets to be swept
clean of all loose material and the de-
pressions filled with gravel and oil
and brought up to the present grade.
When this has been done the streets
are to be thoroly rolled, after which
they are to receive a top dressing of
sand and 95 per cent asphaltum oil
and the surface rolled and sanded un-
til no bleeding spots appear.
Members of the council express
themselves well pleased with the man
ner in which Mr.. Stradling prepared
the specifications. Mr.. Stradling be-
lieves that if the specifications are
closely followed the finished work will
be as good as the pavement on Second
street between Pacific and Washing
ton streets.
