For the Good of
 the Community

nN Saturday hundred and twenty O five freckled-faced regular Texas boys, some wearing border sombreros, some in knee brooches and others with legs so long that 1t would keep any pair of pants busy stretching out-to their ac- commodation, spent the day in Birming- < ham,
 They had been to South Bend, Ind and gong through the enormous plant of the Oliver Chilled Plow company. They were entertained for day at Detroit as the personal guests of Henry Ford, the automobile wizard. They took peep into Canada and they saw the wonders of Niagara.
 These boys are prize winners in the corn and pig contests in their state The trip was tribute to their capacity as far mers and live stock raisers Many of these youngsters had never been trombone be- fore. 1tstands to reason that ears, eyes and brain were wide open and alert for impressions.
 Alabama boys have had similar trips as reward for like accomplishment. Both the Alabama and the Texas boys who have gone afield and seen what other peo- pie do are the better off for the journey. Added to their knowledge of agriculture they have that of men. They are broad minded. They will be better farmers.
 Not long ago one hundred and fifty Arkansas farmers passed through Bir- mingham en route to points in Georgia and the Carolinas, where soil cultivators had been especially successful in renew- ing worn-out lands through the intelligent use of fertilizers. The object of their journey was to see these renewed lands for themselves and to talk with the men who had renewed them They went to < drink at the fountain of knowledge.
 These two pilgrimages, one of youth, the other of age, were both inspiring That of the youngsters was inspiring because farming, Looking at them as they Birmingham, one felt grateful that the such hands These youngsters will not Ae1 III III lQplC1AdlO IIldIllOI lIlCy Will .farm with exact knowledge They will conducta farm as one does a machine shop or textile mill
 The treck of the older men gave as much food for thought. For awhile it looked as if agricultural development of real magnitude must wait on the corn and pig club youngsters. It was doubted if the older men would adopt new methods of farming. But, in this case at least, the child has proven father to the man.
 Wherever the boys have won prizes in the corn and pig clubs and the girls have won prizes in the tomato clubs, farmer and his wife have at first pridefully rested on the attainments of their offspring, but the leaven of the success of their young and the reason for their success worked it's way with more and more force until ''pa" and ma" found themselves doing precisely as sJim' and Alice" had done to win those prizes.

The bootlegger feels in his glory
today.
He thinks that he has found
through a decision Of the United

transport whiskey and other liquors
into the National Capitol in the Vol
stead prohibition enforcement law.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel

has another opinion. He says the boot
leggers' happy anticipations are all
wrong--that he has a way to get
around the decision handed down by
Justice Clarke.
At police headquarters alone today
there are 5000 quarts OF whiskey
which were confiscated by the police
from Washing tonians who were ar

coholic liquors into the District. 1t

Clarke, OF the United States Supreme
Court. liquor can be transported from
warehouse storage to the owners

been legitimately bought. can be
transported from one place. to an
other. .. 10.
According to the regulations OF the
Prohibition Commissions. aasr en-
forced by the police and Federal
agents. whiskey found in course OF
transportation has been confiscated.
Justice Clarke's opinion indicates
that such confscation in many cases
has been illegal.
The point Of Justice Clarke's opin-
ion was that the whiskey in course
Of transportation could not be con-
fiscated IL 1t had been lawfully ac-
Quired.
"lt's up to the Government to prove
that the whiskey has not been law
fully acquired" today declared T.
