trict court. Two brothers were TO oper-
ate their fathers farm jointly after his
death until one of them should decide 70
marry. Then it was to be divided between
them. One Of the brothers became en-
gagged and maintained that as he was the
first TO set up new home of his own be
should divide the estate TO suit himself.
The other objected The Sim Fein jury
decided that the engaged man should be
allowed to divide the farm but that his
brother should have the right TO select
the division he wanted.

WOULD DESTROY ALL
LIQUOR NOW IN BOND.
Commissioner Kramer Will Ask
Congress for Permission to
Dispose Of 1t.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE only solu-
tion to tho existing difficulty Of enforcing
national prohibition lies in the total de-
structioh of all liquor stocks now in bonded
warehouses in the United States, Federal
Prohibition Enforcement Director John
+. Kramer said yesterday, in announc-
ing his intention of asking Congress
at the next session for authority to destroy
this liquor.
The amount of alcoholic beverages
now in storage is estimated at more
than 50,0OO,000 gallons.
His request to Congress, Mr.. Kra-
mer said, will be based on the under
standing that the owners of the liquor
will be compensated for its value, in ac-
cordance with their rights under the
u. 5. Constitution.
After a years failure even to APP
proximate 50 per cent enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment federal pro-
hibition officials have decided the only
way they can ever got the upper hand is to
destroy all that which was in storage when
the Volstead act went into effect, or at
least all that is left of it. At the present
rate, however, there is ground for believing
that the whisky thieves will get the major
portion of this liquor before Congress can
get into action.
Reports reaching the federal pro-
hibition commissioners office show that
last week more than 100000 worth Of
liquor was stolen. Most of ii was taken
by highwayTnen, who held up trucks on
which it was being transported from one
warehouse to another
Commissioners Kramer thinks most
of the whisky now being sold ilhcitly
comes from bonded warehouses. Fed
eral guards are maintained at every
warehouse where liquor is stored, and the
federal authorities say they cannot solve
the mystery Of its continual disappearance
from bond and its reappoarance in the
hands of illicit dealers. The only way they
can account for it is its withdrawal on
forged permits, and they say they are
unable to prevent that criminal method
from being carried on. But If the bonded
liquor, We're all destroyed the difficulty
would be removed, they assert.

ometry Of Life" Every completed
life has three sides: work, love and
religion. If one of these is left out
our life is not completed. Love is
the foundation of religion. Jesus says,
"If we don't love those whom we
have seen, how can we love Him
whom we have not seen, so then let
US love one another. Faith without
works is dead. We are saved by hope.
But hope that we see is not hope for
what a man seeth. Why doth he get
hope. Christ in you the hope of
glory. Faith, hope and charity, the
greatest of these three is charity,
which is love. Come and worship
