crop produced satisfactory yield.
Sugar beets and clover proved big
money makers for farmers in a num-
Der of counties, notably Kanabec,
Pine, Beltrami, Martin and Carver.
The backward wheat yield evidently
was expected but farmers are sow
ing winter wheat, principally as an
,experiment.:
! The effect of state fair exhibits
was noticeable in every congressional
district. Purchases of high grade
cattle are increasing and officers of a
half dozen associations predicted that
all records will be broken this fall
and winter, at pure bred cattle sales.
Shipments Of cattle seemingly were
very light for the past week. Cam
.paigns are being conducted in many
counties to increase membership in
farm bureaus. These bureaus have
been particularly active in assisting
farmers to pool and store their wool.
\ =. Additional facts of interest were
Wrought out by the road census.
CHECKS obtained from some forty
counties, showed a weekly average
travel of 2,4O0 automobiles on, the
main highway and many of the county
reports listed an average Of four per-
sons in a machine. Close to 10 per
cent of the cars were from other
states and on some of the main high
ways the foreign. car average ran as
high as 16 per cent Merchants and
fllotel keepers who did not keep close
tab on the business which-autom obile
travel brought to them, were quoted
siis expressing sharp surprise. The
travel was heavier than expected.
1t is quite certain that every county
in the state will spend considerable
money during the next eight months
to provide additional comforts for
motorists in 1921.
/: More than seventy counties report
ed strong sentiment in favor of the
ABabcock good roads plan., Not one
adverse report was received.

STORM KEEPS

President-elect's Cottage
Lashed by Typical Gulf
"Norther."

PORT ISABEL, Texas. Nov. 13.-
A typical gulf "norther" last night
was Iashing President-eIect Hard
ing's cottage. sitting far out on a
bluff overlooking Laguna Madre,
and had all Point Isabel in its grip.
A forty-five-mile gale whipped
around the house with it's weird
cries and a driving rain beat against
surge rolled high on the beach and
the bay was a mass of white caps,
Three miles away, before darkness
fell. giant waves hurled from the
gulf upon Padre Island were plainly
visible.
There was no fear of any dan
ger, however, and old salts in the
village said it certainly would calm
down soon.
Senator Harding, William c. West,
Brownsville lawyer, and c. S. Swal-
low, of Lincoln, Neb., started a
threesome contest against Senators
Elkins and Hale and r. H. Creager,

ator Hale "balled up" the score and
both sides claimed the honors.
Mrs. Harding remained at the
cottage all day and enjoyed watch

TEXT OF ACT DRAWN

Having failed to prevent ratifca-
ton Of the equal suffrage amend
ment, the National Association op-
posed to Woman Suffrage and a
group of similar organizations have
combined in a campaign to take
away from State legislatures their
power to ratify constitutional amend
ments, it was officially announced
Friday. They propose the pas
sage of a Federal amendment by
which future amendments shall be
ratified by popular vote, or, in those
States where 1t is so provided by
State constitutions, by conventions
of instructed delegates.
The other organizations concern
ed in the movement are the Ameri~
can Constitutional League and the
Maryland League for State Defense
They are polling every member of
Congress, and claim already to have
assurance of a sufficient number of
votes to make passage of the
amendment probable.
Tell of Purpose.
While it is held by these asso-
Citations that there is already a lin
itation on the amending power
which makes such an amendment
as Federal woman suffrage uncon-
stitutional," says the announce
ment, 1T is plainly necessary. since
Congress has always ignored the
clause in the Constitution permit
ting the submission of Federal
amendments to conventions of dele
gates chosen by the people, and
has always refused to submit an
amendment in this manner. al
though the Constitution itself was
thus originally adopted, that the
people now demand in unmistak-
able terms the restoration of their
right to f-government.'
The text Of the proposed amend
ment follows:
The Congress. whenever two
thirds of the members to which each
House is entitled shall deem it
necessary. shall propose amend
ments to this Constitution, or, on the
application of the legislatures of
two-thirds of the several States,
shall be valid to all intents and
purposes. as part of the Constitu-
tion. when ratified by popular vote

OF the several States. held not less

WILLIAMS RAPS
KITCHEN BEER
Fails to Say, However, That
Sale Of Hops Will Be
Restricted.

Reaffirmation of the ruling that
the manufacture of intoxicating
home brews is illegal and the
maker risks prosecution. was as far
as officials of the Bureau of In
terIal Revenue would go Friday
In clearing up reports that they
planned to restrict rigidIy the sale
of hops, malt and other necessary
ingredients OF successful Kitchen
beer"
The direct query as to whether
orders had been issued banning the
sale of hops and malt to all except
bakers and confectioners was care
fully sidestepped. A statement au-
thorized by w. NJ. Williams, COL
lector OF internal revenue, made it
plain that the government prohibi-
tion enforcement establishment has
never indorsed the popular theory
that the manufacture of home brew
was a bona fide pursuit. The state
ment, however. without saying so
in SO many words. indicates that no
further effort will be made to re-
stTlCt tne sale OF nops ana matt 10
the narrow limits Of the balang
and confectionery businesses. The
statement says:
In connection with the so-called
home-brewed beer, the impression
seems to prevail among some people
that materials which ordinarily are
or may be used in the manufacture
Of intoxicating liquors may be sold
freely and legally. even though sold
for the purpose of making intoxi-
eating liquors.
1T is unlawful under the act to
make a liquor by the process BY
which beer. ale or porter is pro-
duced, unless a permit is first pro-
cured for that purpose under the
law and regulations.
The so-Called home-brewed beer
manufactured in the home for bev-
erage purposes, even though for the
sole use Of the family and bona fde
guests, is, under the bureaus con-
struction of the law, illegal. and the
sale of materials for the purpose Of
such manufacture is likewise ille-
gal"
