Booze Tho Illegal
Still Has Value
Decision, ofCourt

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-Despite the
fact that the sale of whisky is Illegal,
it has a market value and theft of it
constitutes robbery, according to a
decision handed down by Criminal
Judge E. E. Porterfield in the case
of Samuel Warren, a negro. who was
convicted by a jury here early today
on charge of first degree robbery.
Judge Porterfield sentenced Warren
to five years in the state penitentiary.
Warren was charged with stealing
whisky valued at $2.25o from a local
residence. The defense asked that
Warren be discharged on the ground
that no robbery had been proved be-
cause whisky had no value and steal
ing it would not be crime.

NOT ENFORCE UNPOPULAR LAW
Tho Texas Sunday Ban Upheld St;
Officials Won't Act.

anti-Sunday theater law has again
been upheld by the criminal court of
appeals, it's enforcement will be left
to local authorities, it was intimated
today at the attorney generals de-
partment.
No statewide action will be taken,
it was said. Officials said the law is
an unpopular one in most localities
and Sunday theaters have been run in
most larger cities of the state since it
was passed.
1t was emphasized, however, that
the law has been held valid and con-
victions will be possible if prosecu-
tions are started.

TIE CHANGE COMING.

Fina- 2ial papers state that crude
rubber IS lowest on record, wool is
below pse-war figure and silk is SELL
ing at : ow low prices.
Also abor is becoming more plen-
tiful AID some sections report that
men a. again actually looking for
and willing to work.
This does not indicate the coming
OF hard times or anything like that
but it does indicate change for the
better in the life of the nation.
Prices are going to begin to strike
a more conservative level due to the
fact that efficiency in production is
going to increase.
We have had a period of high
wages, short hours and decreased
production which has doubled up
prices : 1 the consumer.
We . now going to have a period
of good wages, fair hours and in
creased production which will give
the con 7umer value received for his
money.
Workmen will find they must do
an efficient days work for a days
pay or another man will be put in
their pace, the manufacturer will
find that he will have to furnish a
good product for the price charged
or his soods will not sell.
In other words the day of demand
ing the highest wage or price for
inefficient labor or manufactured
goods the day when anything went
and the consumer paid the bills
about over. The handwriting is
clear upon the wall for those who
will read.

Universal Building Material.

An attempt has been made by
the Forest Service to get at normal
and probable lumber requirements
of the farming industry. The esti-
mates of county agents indicate an
average annual utilization per farm
unit of about 1000 board feet For
practically all the Middle Western
section an increased future demand
for lumber is predicted in order to
take care of improvements looking
toward better equipment and i'm
proved living conditions, provision
for increasing population and the de-
velopment of new units.
Due largely to inadequate trans
portation facilities, it is certain that
many more farm storage buildings
will be required this year than in
the past In many sections not all
of the 1919 crops have been moved,
to say nothing of the necessity of
storing a goodly portion of those of
the present season. The rams con-
me generally a very large aggre-
rate of constitution lumber, accord
- to the recent report of the For
est Service. Cheap high grade build
ing material has aided powerfully in
the rapid development of farm lands.
There is no use to wait for build
ing costs to shrink to their former
level, for they will not Neither
wages nor material are going to
perceptibly decrease in the next
few years, the demand is too great
for both.
The big problem of Pacific coast
mills at the present time is more
cars and such an adjustment of the
new freight rates as will enable
them to meet competition east of

THE GREAT HOME INDUSTRY

All over the west fruit and veg
etable canneries are busy all summer
and fall-using up soil products and
employing labor.
The local canneries are the great
home ndustry-making home
market for what the farmers raise
and home market for labor
The family labor of every COM
munity is modified in the field and
in the packing plant of the canneries
at good wages.
There is no greater means of dis
tributing wages where the money
does the most good than the cannery
industry.
In these days of noisy politics and
international strife we are apt to
overlook this one of our greatest
community blessings.

where Cousin Dee's relatives live,
only to find that they were out of

HAD an early breakfast ami took
the 7:45 Ferry TO San francisco.
This time we had much longer ride
on the bay than the day before. We
were the last car to get on. There
were great trucks, loaded with yege-
tables and all kinds OF fruits. There
was a heavy fog that morning so
we couldn't see much along the Bay.
A big Battleship was standing out
at anchor. 1t looked odd to see d
little steamer towing big tug boat
In. There were 10 or IL ships i'll con-
Struction.
We drove thru the Ferry House up
Market Street, turned onto Geary
which took us directly to the Park
All hands and the driver had TO stop
look and listen for the traffic, as
we were not used to driving thru
Frisco crowds.
First we went thru the beautiful
greenhouse where we saw many
beautiful plants and flowers and
specimens such as we never had
seen before. Then we went to SEQ
the deer, bear, moose and other ami
mails in the Park.
The Art building was beautiful
All along the side walls were huge
oil paintings making a natural back
ground for the stuffed animals that
were arranged to look very natural
by the use of real trees, rocks, sand
sagebrush or what ever the animal
special surrounds were. There were
pictures of birds also. Next we visit
ed hte new Meuseum building. One
could have spent days in this wonder
full building with its exquisite statu-
airy, antique furniture, hand made
laces and oriental tapestries, cele-
brated oil paintings and oriental
but we were too early for Japanese
tea.
The little Japanese dogs frighten-
ed us. Everything was oriental here.
From the Park we went to the Cliff
House. There we could see the big
brown and black seals on the rocks.
We were cold and hungry so had
cup of hot coffee and sandwiches,
before starting merrily on our way.
Our party didn't like Frisco as it
was too cold. We put on all the
coats we had and wished for more.
Drove along the ocean front for
about Is miles. Some breeze. Got
back on the highway at Colman.
Stopped long enough at Palo Alto
to drive around the grounds of
Stanford University. There were
number of big buildings and the
grounds were very pretty and well

In the mountains of Montenegro,
distance is often measured by the time
