FRANCES WINE BUSINESS

The news that the labyrnthine
cellars beneath the cities of Reims
and Epernay contain hundreds of
millions of bottles of good old wine
come to us doubly surprising and as
founding. In the first place, we
have been dry so long ourselves we
rather fancied the whole world was
likewise. In the second place, we
had been led to believe that the wine
cellars of France had either been de-
stroyed by the terrific bombardments
of war or so looted by the guzzling
enemy as to exhaust every drop and
bubble. II seems, however, that
both our assumptions are erroneous.
A dispatch from Reims states that
ii will take some six months to col
lect scattered unlabeled bottles Of
wine and determine the age OF the
contents. In the meantime, surface
buildings and bottling plants are be-
ing rapidly reconstructed and in a
few months the Champagne district
will be ready for business again,
with a restricted market, of course.
so long as the bars remain up
perhaps it would be better to say
the bars remain down-in this coun-
try.
The wine cellars of France suffer
ed, but not so much as might have
been expected. The enemy drank
slowly, going toward Paris, content
that it had plenty Of time to enjoy
the wine; he drank rapidly. going
away from Paris, knowing he had
no time to enjoy anything.

THE MANUFACTURES OF ATS
BEER HELD ILLEGAL

The supreme court at Washington
Monday declared constitutional sec
tions of the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement act prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of beer, wine or
other intoxicating, malt or vinous
liquors" containing one-half of one
percent or more of alcohol.
Dismissal by the lower court in
New York of Injunction proceedings
brought to restrain government Of
ficials from interfering with Jacob
Rupert, a brewer, in the manufac-
ture of beer, containing approx
imately ITS percent alcohol, but al
legged to be notwithstanding, was
sustained.
The court divided, to- A, Asso-
ciate Justices Day, Vandevanter, Nc
Reynolds and Clarke dissenting.
Under the war emergency congress
has a right to stop Immediately the
sale of intoxicating liquor, the court
held
Associate Justice Brandeis, who
rendered the opinion of the court,
said the right of congress to suppress
the liquor traffic was not an implied
power, but a power expressedly
granted.
Justice McReynolds in a dissenting
opinion said that the eighteenth
amendment had not yet come into eff
feet and that the federal govern
ment had no general power to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale Of
liquor.
Justice McReynolds took the posi-
ton that the war emergency under
which national prohibition was made
effective had passed.
Indictments brought against the
Standard Brewery at Baltimore and
the American Brewing Company at
New Orleans for manufacturing 2.75
percent beer before the war time pro-
hibition enforcement act became eff
fective were ordered dismissed.
In deciding the New Orleans and
Baltimore cases, Justice Day in
unanimous opinion, held that the
manufacture of beer containing 2.75
percent alcohol was legal until the
enactment of the Volstead act.

DEMPSEY SIGNED FOR
EORTY-FIVE ROUND ROIJT

Jack Kearns, manager of Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion,
announced at Los Angeles, Calf,
Monday night that he had accepted
an offer of purse from James Cot
froth for a As round fight between
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter at
Tijuana, Lower California.
Its up to Coffroth now to sign
Carpenter" said Kearns, land
understand he has a representative,
Charles Harvey, in Europe now, try
ing to do just that.
This is the most satisfactory offer
we have had. We are willing to
accept it on a winner or loser basis,
perhaps $500, 900 for the winner and
100000 for the loser. These de-
tails will be worked out later
"Coffroth may not want the mo-
ton picture rights, but whether he
does or not, we will want percent
age of them and all other privileges.
Kearns said Coffroth had been in
Los Angeles for several days talking
the matter over with him.
Kearns' announcement was made
after he had been asked if he had
accepted, or would accept an offer
to Dempsey of 100000 and a ten
weeks theatrical engagement in Eu-
rope at $1,000 a week, announced
in Chicago by Charles Cochran, an
Englishman, engaged in promoting
theatrical work.
Coffroth is widely known on the
coast. He is president of the Low
err California Jockey Club at Tt
juana.
Commenting on the Cochran offer,
Kearns said:
II will not consider anything less
than s250,000, and his offer of So
600 a week does not interest me.
Dempsey got $4,000 week here IN
America. If these European pro-
moters want to get Dempsey for any
thing they will have to pay dodbie. T"

school Case Goes into Court

A controversy in the Manning

OF q school treasurer and the de-
posit of school funds has reached
the courts.
Incidentally the right of Treas
urer J. J. Miller to retain the Of
fee and the funds while resident
of Denison is at the basis of the &C
ton.
Miller sold his practice in Man
ming and announced that he intend
ed taking a rest. Later on II Is
claimed that he moved to Denison to
live. The school board declared the
office of treasurer vacant and elected
f. ID. Sutherland treasurer.
Thereupon Miller refused to
recognize the change of office, still
claiming a residence in Manning.
Miller as treasurer kept the funds
in the Iowa State Savings bank and
as Sutherland is connected with the
First National bank II is presumed
he would transfer the funds to that
bank Judge Hutchison heard the
case and took the matter under ad'
visement.

Guy, by another woman of the tribe

a bargain even at that price Besides
deciding his property to the party of
the first part in the sale, Guy gave
up the custody of his three children
naming as the only condition that
they shall not be taken out of the

ties to the out of the ordinary sale
were dressed in barbaric splendor

Peculiar Case at Harlan

A decision in a law suit which is
said to be so rare that but two cases
involving the same issues have been
in the courts of Shelby county.
Judge Thomas Arthur of the district
court has just held that a young
woman, once adpoted, later relin-
pushed and re-adopted by her father
has right to share in the estate OF
her foster father at his death.
The case is one of the most inter-
esting ever tried in western Iowa. In
1884 the wife of Hyram Pratt of
Shelby county, died, leaving her
husband and a daughter, Maude Es-
telle Pratt, then years of age. BY
letters of adoption she became a
member of the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin f. Curl. the girl then
becoming known as Maude Estelle
Curl.
In 1892 when the girl was Is
years of age, her father, firing of
living alone, asked that his daugh-
ter be returned to him. which was
agreed to by Mr.. and Mrs. Curl and
once again the girl was adopted, this
time by her real father, all letters of
adoption being made matters of
court record.
In 1911 Martin l.. Curl died with
out leaving a will, his wife previous
ly having died. Mr.. Curl left a
farm of 200 acres of valuable Shell
by county land. His former adopt
ed daughter had meanwhile grown
to womanhood and had married a
man named Holmes. At the No
vember term of court this year Mrs.
Holmes instituted suit, claiming an
interest in the Curl estate. The
claim was resisted by other heirs
who contended that when Mrs.
Holmes was re-adopted by her father
she lost all. legal interest in the es-
tate of her foster father
The case was hard fought and a
vast amount of time was spent in
seeking decisions bearing upon this
suit. "0nce in grace. always in
grace; once adopted, always adopt
ed" was the claim of the plaintiff,
which was upheld by Judge Arthur's
decision. The case will be appeal
ed to the supreme court.
OF the two supreme court de-
cisions found, one in Kentucky up
held the contention of the plaintiffs
and one in the Michigan supreme
court denied the contention.

otherwise harmed by Leo Daugherty
a returned soldier, who bound and
gagged her and kept her captive in
the cellar of a vacant house at Cen
terville for several hours.
Physicians decided that the girl

MATTERS OF INTEREST IN VARI.
Gus LOCALITIES THAT HAVE
GENERAL NEWS VALUE
cold Discovered at Kimballton

GOlu DlScONefcu at hIfnD9iItOn
Chris Mortensen, who resides west
of Kimballton was in town Wednes-
day to have some metal analysed
which had been picked up on his
farm. S. H. Sorensen examined
the metal and pronounced it pure
GOLD. The metal was found in
the craw of a duck which the Nor
Jensen family had killed for their
New Years feast. OF course. Mr..
Mortensen doesn't believe that there
is vein of gold on his farm, but is
rather curious as to the origin of the
metal. The gold nuggets which
were found in the ducks craw are
about one-half the size of a 22-shell
and resemble a shell somewhat Mr..
Mortensen has decided to profit by
the experience of the man who killed
the goose which laid the golden egg
and will not kill the rest of his flock
until he desires them for the family
dinner. The only solution which
we can offer for the mystery is. that
perhaps the duck lost the filling from
tooth and swallowed it. Or, are
ducks teeth as scarce as hens'?"
Elk Horn and Kimballton now
have a post of the American Legion,
and although the posts are still in
their infancy those who are taking
the lead in this organization have
several things under their hat and
with the new year the posts will be-
come active branches of the state and
national organizations. There are
many matters local, state and federal
that can be handled better by such
an organization than by any other
body and the Legion should have the
support OF the community. AL
though the American Legion is only
for ex-service men, 1t is not the pur-
pose of its members to be a special
privileged class of young men. The
Legion is the successor of the G.. A.
r., and naturally is composed only of
ex-service men and ladies as the
Masons is only for Masons, and a
Farmers Shipping Company or other
organizations only for its members.
The Legion is not a political or
ganization, nor is ii advocating
Pershing or any other member of the
A. E. F. or any service man for
president of the United States or
mayor of whatever hamlet has an or
ganization. The work of the Lee
gion is far above the role of the
petty politician. The Legion is TAX
ing the lead in the work of Ameri-
canization which is at present big
issue in this country, and the fact
that l. w. w. and other sinister or
CARNATIONS of that class have declar-
ed war on the Legion should be
enough to warrant its support by ev-
cry loyal American man and woman.
