Wednesday-Last night at the reg
ular card party, which is held every
Tuesday night. we were all greatly sur
prised to have the electric lights turned
on in the hotel. Comrades Haynes.
Schade, and Cantrell were the guilty
fellows. Here's hoping they will be
convicted of the same regularly. Fred
Anderson is piling up the remnants Of
stumps on Dago Town forty and is now
burning stumps by a process Of his
own. He says he is sure he will burn
tdmps faster than we can pull them
The farmers are continuing to plow,
harrow, and cultivate. They are max
ing ready to plant some peanuts, irish
potatoes, more beans, peas. and sor-
ghum. The building department is
preparing to raise the smoke stack for
Sthe big boiler. Comrades Waters and
DeVine are trying to burn up all the
wood on the place in the process of
burning brick.
Thursday Today they are getting
the boom pole up for raising the smoke
stack, A large shipment Of groceries
arrived at the store. and the shoeshop
received a large supply of leather. The
children are busy planting a lot
of beets and peas, and planted sever
al hundred tomato plants, and the fall
cabbage seed was sown In the hot beds.
The regular meeting of the psychology
class was held on Thursday night as
usual, and many new speakers ewre
on the floor. Comrade Burton read a
report from the dairy which was indeed
very complementary to our dairy man-
ager, Conrade Baldwin, and his help
ers.
Friday The building department
raised the boom pole today and set it
ii place. The brick kiln is being burn-
ed in ernest and is quite sight to see,
the brick being almost white heat.
Il takes lots Of wood to supply this
monster with fuel. The laundry is
working short this week on account of
sickness. But Mrs. Kemp and Mrs.
Synoground. assisted BY Rose Beloh-
radsky and Louise Belohradsky and
Mrs. Dougherty. kept up the work to
its full capacity. Through our inabil-

the baker will again be in good spirits.
Comrade Kemp is planting peanuts.
Comrades Schad and Van Nuland are
cultivating beans and sweet potatoes.
Comrade Christensen is handling the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Methods by which intoxicating liquors may be obtained for medicinal purposes, and detailed regulations governing their sale, were made public tonight by the bureau of internal revenue. Announce ment also was made that the bureau had compiled a system of permits, providing a definite and fixed chan nel through which all intoxicating liquors must move and by which hereafter the government will know the location of every gallon of dis titled liquor within the nations boundaries, except that stored in pri- vate homes.
 In setting forth the ways In which liquor may be procured, Commissioner Roper took occasion to issue warn ing against profiteering in its sale. The commissioner declared that eX- oTbitant charges for liquor for medici- nal purposes certainly places the dispensers thereof in the class with profiteers, and they will be investi- gated"

 MT. Roper also announced that all liquor seized under federal law prior to October 2S, unless claimed under the 60-days ruling, would be sold by order of the court under the jurisdic-

PERU PROVIDES
 FIRST CASE AT
 LEAGUECOURT
South American Republic To Submit Claim to
 Border Lands

WASHINGTON, Jan, %. The western hemisphere probably will furnish the first case to come before the council of the league of nations.
 Advices were received here today that the national assembly of Peru had adopted a resolution providing for the submission to the league coun- cil the claim of Peru to the provinces of Tacna and Africa which have been held by Chile for more than 20 years as the result of the war with Peru. By the terms of the peace treaty be- tween the two countries and plebis- cite was to be held within ten years after Chilean occupation of the prov inces to determine whether they should remain Chilean or revert to Peru. This plebiscito has never been held and the Peruvians now are rep resented as determined to bring their claims before the only tribunal which has yet been created competent to deal with such grave condition.
 Bolivia also is claimant to Tacna, which she claims to be inhabited principally by Bolivians and to afford the only seaport open to her, while both Chile and Peru have other Pa cific ports.
 It is expected that the Peruvian Chilean-Boivion' case will serve 10 statr the machinery of the league in motion. The first procedure is likely to be the filing by the Peruvian min ister at Paris or London of an ap- plication with Sir Eric Drummond, the secretary of the council of the league to have the matter brought before that body The council in turn, probably not being informed as to the issues in the case, will call on the secretariat of the league to sc cure the necessary briefs from the interested parties to the case and when that has been done will proceed 10 consider the conflicting claims on their merits As the issues are sole ly between American states, and no European interests are believed to be involved, it is not anticipated that the Monroe doctrine can figure in any way that would warrant the par ticipation of the United States in view of the fact that this government has not yet joined the league.

tion of which it is held. It must be sold however, to a holder of a permit to use it either for medicinal or non beverage purposes.
 Both the physician who prescribes and the pharmacist who sells liquor, the regulations provide, must have a permit which may be obtained from the federal prohibition director. Other details of the method by which liquor for medicinal purposes may be purchased follow:
 Doctors May Prescribe
 Any physician duly licenced to practice medicine and actively en- gagged in the practice of sucn profes- sion may obtain a permit to prescribe intoxicating liquor and may then is sue prescriptions for distilled spirits, wines or certain alcoholic medicinal preparations for medical purposes for persons upon whom he is in attend ance in cases where he believes that the use of liquor as a medicine neces- sary. In no case may spirituous liquor be prescribed by one or more physicians in excess of one pint for the same persons within any period of ten days.
 All prescriptions for intoxicating liquor are required to be written on prescription blanks provided by the bureau, except that in emergency cases physicians may use their regu- lar prescription blanks.
 Prescriptions for intoxicating liquor may be filled only by regis tered pharmacists who hold permits authorizing them to do so, or whom are employed by retail druggists hold ing such permits. Pharmacists and druggists holding such permits will procure their supplies of intoxicating liquor from manufacturers or other persons holding permits authorizing them to sell liquor.
 Persons to whom prescriptions for intoxicating liquor are issued by physicians may procure the liquor prescribed through pharmacists or druggists holding permit without ob-. taining a permit.
 "Physicians may also obtain per mits entitling them to procure not more than six quarts of distilled spirits, wines or certain alcoholic preparations during any calendar year for administration to their pa tients in emergency cases where de- lay in procuring liquor on preserip- tion through pharmacist might have serious consequence to the patient.
 Provision is also made in regula- tions for issuing permits to hospitals and sanitoriums to enable them t0 procure intoxicating liquor to be ad- ministered for medicinal purposes to r,a+jents at such institutions and also for issuing permits to manufacturing, industrial and other establishments maintaining first aid stations, author izing them to procure such liquor for administration to their employees for medicinal purposes in emergency cases"

N W " o k. Assemblyman Shows Party Active Against
 All U. s. Measures

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 29-An at tempt to show that sabotage in muni- tion factories was a weapon which Socialists were virtually obliged by their party to employ in it's program of continuous, active and public opposi- tion to the war" was made today by the prosecution at the trial of the five unseated Socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty.
 Counsel for the assembly judiciary committee conducting the investiga- tion read into the record the procla- nation and war program adopted at the St. Louis convention of the So cialist party on April 1917. one day after the United States entered the war, in which workers were urged to oppose the war through demonstra- tions, mass meetings, mass petitions and all other means within our pow CT"
 Finally the committee counsel brought out that the "anti-sabotage clause in the party's constitution, of which the prosecution asserted So cialists formerly had 'Doasted,' had been stricken out at the same con vention. When reference was first made to the anti-sabotage clause Seymour Stedman of Chicago, defense counsel, read from the Socialist cam paign book of 1914 to show that the party at this time bitterly opposed sabotage and no one practicing II was allowed to become member. He also explained that the clause had been stricken out three years later because the I. W. w. element was nc longer enrolled in the party and sab otaCe was "a dead issue"

DRY LEAGUE TO
 CONTINUE NAR
 IN WE I FORCES
Anti-Saloon Organization Will Stay in Politics
 25 Years

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Anti Saloon League wfll stay in politics with program that calls for 25 more years of work for prohibition and the spending of $50,000,00O during the first five of these years.
 And the reason for this program, as explained by William H. Anderson, the leagu's chief in New York, where the fight will center, is that the vets have announced they intend to play the political game and under the cir cumstances there is nothing for the drys to do but to follow suit.
 ''The power of congress to enforce prohibition and define what's intOxi- eating and what isn't. is double edged" says Anderson. If one con gross can fix one-half of one per cent of alcohol in beverage as the limit, another congress can raise that per centage ana nullify the amendment under the guise of law. by a mere majority. without having to refer to the states.
 "So that, though there is no chance for the vets to repeal or invalidate the constitution, they might invali- date it by nullification measure mas Querading as enforcement measures.
 Prohibition is law and its enforce ment will test dTnocracy. The Anti Saloon League is its principle agent and must see that prohibition and | democracy make good
 Sees Six Years Battle 'I think it will be six years before this country accepts prohibition. The issue of prohibition as such ceased to exist when prohibition be- came part of the constitution, but now the issue is merged into the is sue of law and order anC; the sancti- ty of the constitution and the per manence of American institutions.
 "It is not the leagues purpose to hire detectives, or do enforcement work itself. but to furnish exper! leadership and q nonsectarian basis of union.
 Certain clements here are openly defiant of the law and with some thing like $2S,O0OOOO available, the Anti-SaloCn League is even now in- creasing it's forces. The states mem bers number 6OO0O in 300 divisions. Educational Campaign
 As to the public, Anderson insists that no one who evades prohibition and sneaks a drink oR the side has a right to denounce bolshevism or make a patriotic speech on the Fourth of July.
 There is no law to keep cider from becoming hard and it's no of fense to squeeze apple ouice and hold it until it develops a kick he eX' plains, "so there must he an educa' tional campaign to convince those who don't know it yet that alcohol is harmful thing.
 Enforce prohibition in America redeem the world from alcohol is our cry for tt- Inning years Ander- son concluded.
