Enormous Task.

Clerks from various city depart
ments have been pressed into service
on the work which continued
throughout Sunday and into Sunday
night. Arrangements were being
made Monday 10 have large corps
of clerks on hand each night in the
week. Mr.. Pashby and all the COM
missioners agree that 1t is an enor-
nous task.
The time limit on the checking
process expires on Monday, Oct. 25.
The election must be called for some
day not less than 30 nor more than
80 days after the clerk certifies to
the commission his findings. This
would throw the election for the lat
ter part Of November or the first
few days of December
II is understood that everything
possible will be done to discredit the
signatures on the petitions. Efforts
will be made 10 show that some
men have attached their own sigma
lures and that of their wives and
vice versa; that full names have not
been attached and that several OF
the petitions contain many sigma
lures in the same hand writing.
Whether or not the services of a
hand writing expert will be secured
has not been announced.

CIDER REGULATION
Manufacturers Must Prove the Prod
uct to be "Kickless"

Cider manufacturers hereafter must
prove their product "kickless" when
delivered from the factory, relieving
the government Of the burden Of prov
ing a case against them where it de-
velops that cider contains more than
the one-half of one per cent alcoholic
content prescribed by the federal pro-
hibition law.
The ruling permits manufacture and
sale without permit OF sweet cider con-
tanning less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol by volume, provided
that it is put up and marketed in
sterile closed fermentation to insure
the alcoholic contents remaining with
in the legal limit.
Heretofore the manufacturer of CT
der containing one-half of one per cent
alcohol, passed responsibility for any
acquired unlawful kick" on to the
retailer assuming that fermentation
while the cider was in stock had raised
the alcohol limit,
