PUREBRED HOGS PROFITABLE
At Least Twice as Much Should Be
Realized From Breeding Stock
as Those for markes.

Purebred hogs of any of the well
known breeds are more profitable than
grades. As at least twice as much
should be realized from the sale of
breeding stock as from market hogs.
The purebreds also are generally bet
ter feeders than the grades. That Is
they will make better gains for the
feed consumed.

passed, he would then favor the amend ment of the Alabama laws to conform to it.
 The Volstead act. with it's drastic pro- visions prohibiting the manufacture and sale of beverages containing as much as one-half of 1 per cent alcohol, has since been passed. Under this act the use of the words whisky. beer, wine, been prohibited The products themselves have been officially legislated out of ex7 istence. The manufacturers of cereal beverage are required to comply with all the provisions of is-law, and govern ment agents are placed in every manu- facturing plant to see that there is no evasion The beverages must contain less than one-half of 1 per cent of alco- hol when they are manufactured anI shipped, and must be so treated that the alcoholic content will not increase. Cereal beverages, unlike cider, not self-generating as to alcoholic content.
 As government agents are scattered all over the country. and as they have these beverages analysed at any time. # would be folly for any manufacturer to attempt to put on the market beverage in which the alcoholic content will bS greater at the time of It's sale to the consumer than when it left his plant. He would be subject to prosecution for both the violation of the Volstead act and the pure food law prohibiting the misbrand- ing of goods. The process of Pasteuri- zation employed by all manufacturers sterilizes the beverages and prevents any change in their chemical composition. E It was also pointed out that beer could neither be shipped in interstate com merce, nor successfully manufactured except in large plants, and that it would be impossible for any manufacturer to produce or distribute beer. The records show that there has seldom ever been any attempt to bootleg beer, because of the very small profit in it. Most of the bootlegging has been in whisky and wines. which can be made in small out- of-the-way places, or in basements ani which sell for high prices.
 There has been no complaint in any of the forty-seven states in which cereal the prohibtory laws. For this reason It was argued to the representatives of the Anti-Saloon League that the sale of such beverages was a positive aid to temperance and to law enforcement, and that many of the distributors of such products were leading prohibitionlsts The distributors themselves generally are opposed to the return of beer, be- cause that would interfere with, cur tail, the sale of the on-alcoholic cereal beverages. r

persons would be satisfied if they /
 could get non alcoholic cereal beV-
 erages, and that, to considerable
 extent. the traffic in "white light
 ming" and other illicitly manufac-
 tured drinks would be diminished
 It is understood here that the repre- sentative of one of the largest manu- lecturers of cereal beverages in the United States went to the leaders of the Saloon league and frankly laid before them all the facts pertain ing to the manufacture and distribu- ton of cereal beverages and called their attention to the fact that they are sold in al lthe other states and that there has been no complaint of law evasior.7 or violations as the result of their distribution.
 The dry leaders were also told that these manufacturers did not wish to interfere with, weaken, or violate the provisions of the prohibition law but that they merely wanted the Alabama laws amended so that their non- alec holic products could be sold in this state.
 One of the probable distributors of these products is said to hate given assurance to the leading official of the Anti-Saloon league that if the law was amended no one formerly identi : fled with the liquor traffic in this state would be permitted to have any thing to do with their sale. The Anti Saloon league leaders were also told that there would be no representative of any cereal beverage manufacturer in Montgomery to try to influence the legislature to pass the bill and that the entire proposition would be left on it's merits to the members of the legislature.
 ASKS THEIR ATTITUDE
 It is understood here that the officials of the Anti-Saloon League wanted to know the attitude of the manufacturers toward prohibition, and particularly whether these manufacturers were con tinuing the fight for the repeal or amend ment of the Volstead act and the eight eenth amendment. They also wanted to know whether the slight alcoholic con tent of these beverages when manufac- tured would increase before they reached the consumer
 With respect to the first question, the Anti-Saloon League leaders had thelr attention called to the policy of Anheuser- Rusch. Inc, of St. Louis, one of the largest manufacturers of cereal 'oever- ages. A bill introduced at the last legls- la ature to legalize the sale ot cereal pew

COSTS MUCH TO TRAVEL
Passport Regulations In Balkans
 Prove Expense for Americans
By Associated Press

Budapest, August 22 The cost
 of travel for Americans in Central
 Europe and Balkan countries is reach
 ing extortionate proportions through
 the tendency to charge Americans the
 same price for passport vises as that
 of the American government for for eigners, which recently was increased
 from s1 to s10. If this tendency is con-
 tinued, an American in the course of a
 few days journey passing several from
 tiers may have to pay s30 to $50 in
 vises.
 For travels-s Of all nationalities,
 however, the charge has been rapidly
 increasing during the past six months.
 The Germans began the high charges,
 demanding s5. Then Austria followed
 suit with the same charge, and Hun
 gary and other countries have been
 obliged to make like charges. Because
 of the huge revenue so obtainable, passports are severely examined. more
 so than in war time.
 Under pretext of obstructing bolshe- vik travel, guards at frontiers ruthless ly turn back travellers without proper , vises,
 Because of this unneighborhly prac- tice, it is difficult for citizens of a foreign country to pass homeward Budapest is now full of thousands of people who under the new frontiers fixed by the peace conference, are sub jects of Rumania or Jugo-Slavia but cannot get passport vises home to their | property.

erages known as the "Bevo Bill" Bevo is one of the products of Anheuser- Busch and it has been sold throughout dry territory for more than five years The new policy of Anheuser-B Busch, as outlined to the Anti-Saloon League off cials, was publicly announced more than two years before the adoption of the eighteenth amendment. That policy was that every restrictive or prohibitory law adopted by the United States or any of the states would be implicitly obeyed both in letter and spirit; that when, or if the United States adopted prohibition the plants of the company would be con- verted for other purposes. The dry lead CTS were told that not only had this been done-the plants having been converted for the manufacture of soft beverages, animal feeds, pork packing and syrups but that the company had adhered to its previously announced policy and com piled with every provision of wartime and national prohibition laws and regu- lations. More than this, the company had refused to sell it's products to any dealer who would use or attempt to use them to violate the dry laws.
 NO FIGHT ON PROHIBITION
 The drys were given assurance that Anheuser-Busch is not now making any fight against prohibition and has not been a member of any brewers aSsocia- tion for a number of years. It was point ed out to them that adherence to this policy had cost the company many mill lions of dollars and tsat in some anti prohibition communities it had been ac- cused of favorng prohibition and of hav- ing made large contributions to the Anti Saloon League.
 The cereal beverage manufacturers pointed out to the Anti-Saloon League of ficials that the present Alabama law disl eliminates against their product, while permitting the sale of de-alcoholized wines, grape juices and all other classes of soft drinks. many of which contain a higher alcoholic trace than the cereal beverages. They also directed attention to the fact that ingredients for home brewing are sold in the state and tI/r by the use of these ingredients bever- age could be brewed containing five to ten per cent of alcohol.
 DEFEATED LAST TIME
 The last legislature defeated pro- posed amendment to the Weakly law by a small vote. The basis of the opposi- tion to that bill was that it woul1 weaken the Alabama laws and that the dry leaders did not want to interfere with the present laws until they knew what sort of national enforcement law would be enacted. One of the Anti-Sa- loon League officials in an argument before the temperance committee of the legislature said that if a satisfactory national enforcement act should be

WILL INTRODUCE
 CEREAL BEVERAGE . BILL FOR STATE
Governor KiIby Will Indorse | and Anti-SaIoon League Leaders Have Already
 Been Consulted

Montgomery, September H. Following series of conferences here this week between the repre- sentatives of cereal beverage man. ufacturers and state officials and lea%ers of the Anti-Saloon league, it became known today that bill will be introduced in the special session of the legislature conven- ing Tuesday to legalize the sale of cereal beverages in Alabama.
 The bill will provide for the amend ment of the Alabama prohibition laws to conform to the provisions of the Volstead enforcement act. Under the national prohibition laws the manu- facture of cereal beverages containing less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol is permitted. These beverages are now sold in every state in the un- ion except Alabama, being excluded from this state under the clause of the Weakley ''bone dry' law prohibiting the sale of anything that looks like or tastes like beer.
 INDORSED BY GOVERNOR
 The bill will go to the legislature with the indorsement of Governor Kilby, who favors it's enactment as a prohibition measure. It is under stood that Governor Kilby has con- ducted an investigation and reach ed the conclusion that the sale of
 cereal soft drinks in this state would be an aid in the enforcement of the prohibition laws by practi- cally suppressing home brewing. He is of the opinion also that many
