made in the home or bought like any
other article OF food. provided the

Congress, under the amendment to
the constitution, can define what IS
intoxicating or non-iutoZicating by
determining the percent OF alcohol
that is permissible TO use At present
the law reads one-half OF one percent

Democratic leaders think this IS
absurd and that the country would

Republicans HIT snaE.
As for the Republicans. the handl-
cap OF the solid south would prevent
them from inserting a wet plank in
the Republican national platform.
They would not gain southern votes
by being wet and they might lose
certain Republican states In the west.
So the Democratic leaders have
figured Il out that the only chance
Of making IL an issue on the presi-
Dental ticket rests with them. They
point to the sentiment Of New York
state. Rhode Island, Ohio, and the
recent victory Of governor Edwards
in New Jersey as an index Of what
might be expected in a presidential
campaign IN which prohibition was an
ssue; They can always count on the
south
The question IS really. how many
wet states are there in the north

south, make Democratic victory
possible.

 Following the fire early yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Sproule Of Litchfield called the sheriff's office and Deputies Wilson and Price were sent to the cotton town to investigate the suspicious circumstances of the fires. Later in the day they called Sheriff Montgomery, and the sheriff in com pany with Fred Wright went to the scene.

All peace officers in other towns in the valley also were warned to be on the alert. The sheriff issued request that should any hay or barn fires occur, he desired the rancher to notify the sheriffs office at once. If they are notified before all clues are obliterated, it will materially aid in finding the guilty ones.
 Officials of the Southwest Cotton company stated yesterday they did not think the fires had been started by knew of no friction between the com pany and ~employes
