Supreme Court Rules That
Congress Has Right TO Say
What Is intoxicating.

w ndC Is luCOXlCaIlnk.
The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday of this week by a
vote Of 5 to 4, decided that the Unit
ed States must be al bone dry under
wartime prohibition as a dry Con-
gress desires to see it.
The decision upheld the Volstead
law and leaves the whole question of
what is intoxicating or what is not to
Congress. The Volstead law says
that any drink is intoxicating that
contains more than one-half of one
per cent. of alcohol.
The Court gave little encourage
ment, but no liquor to the vets, in
another decision involving 2.75 beer.
Bwa unanimous vote it held that the
Government exceeded it's authority
in preventing the sale of 2.75 beer
between July l, when wartime pro-
hibition became effective, and Octo-
Der %, 1919, when the Volstead act
was passed. The reason was that
Congress had not then declared 2.75
beer or any other beverage containing
more than one-halt of one per cent.
of alcohol intoxicating. In other
words, sale of 2 rs per cent beer was
legal up until the passage of the Vol
stead law, and after that illegal.
| The only effect of the decision will
be to relieve from prosecution liquor
dealers who sold 2.75 per cent beer
during the first four months of war
time prohibition. The decision was
made on appeals from Baltimore and
New Orleans Federal Courts by the
Standard Brewing Company and the
American Brewery, respectively.
The decision upholding the Vol.
stead law came on appeals from New
| YIN FeuCIdl SouIC, IilSlltuttu NY
Jacob Rupert, large brewery cor
| poration.
The lineup of the court was: For
2 rs beer, Justices Day, Van Davan-
ter, McReynolds and Clark. Against
Chief Justice White, Justices McKen-
ma. Holmes, Pitney and Brandies,
who read the majority opinion.
All through the two opinions the
court carefully avoided any state
ments that would tend to show that
its decisions were to hold 2.75 beer
Misunderstanding. 1t simply pointed
out that Congress had the power to
declare what is Intoxicating and that
| therefore it did not become matter
for the court TO determine just what
anouat of alcohol in beverage
h:'rss it to the intoxicating point.

Texas TIPS.

Sometimes we are SO anxious that
everybody have work we are almost
willing to work less ourself.
Also it is a good idea for man to
choose a tall washerwOman, SO she
can't wear his socks to advantage.
Another reason why we would hate
to work at a natatorium is because
we would rather remember ladies by
their faces.
Anvice to June brides: If you are
weak enough to permit your husband
to wash the supper dishes, it may
not he long until he is cooking his
own breakfast.
One of the strangest things in this
world is how many pieces restau-
rant man can cut a watermelon into
and still keep bit of rcd on each
fragment.

Anthony Mining Ceased When
War Stoned.

Mining of anthony ores in the
United States practically ceased in
1918. The amount produced inthat
year was only 100 tons of ore with a
content of 80 tons of anthony, as
compared with 1000 tons of ore
in 1917 and 5000 tons in 1915.
About 2, 500 tons of metallic antim ony
was produced by smelters in the
United States in 1918, almost entir-
ely from foreign ores. The imports
were large, amounting to 2,734 short
tons OF ore, with a metallic content
of about so per cent, and 1894
tons of metal. Mexico and Bolivia
provided most of the ore imported;
the metal came chiefly from China.
According to a statement made
public by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, Department of the IN
terror, the greatest demand for anti
mony is for war purposes, chiefly in
the manufacture of shrapnrl bullets.
The peace time consumption of the
metal amounts to only a small pro-
portion of its war time consumption.
/ Anthony oxides are used in making
glass, enamel, and paint; the sulp-
hides in making rubber; and the
metal in certain alloys, such AS type
metal, babhitt, Britannia metal, and
hard lead.
The great importance of anthony
as a war metal is shown by the total
! worlds production in recent years.
In normal prn-war yea RS this amount
ed to about 10000 metric tons year
In 1916, however, the estimated
worlds production was 1871 tons.
This large output exceeaed even the
war demand, and in 1918 the pro-
duction had fallen to 81, 300 tons.
More than half the worlds supply
comes from southern China, princi-
pally from the province of Human.
, France in 1913 produced about a
quarter Of the worlds supply, and
during the war large deposits were
developed in Algeria. Mexico is the
next in importance and in 1913 con-
tributed overa tenth of the world's
supplyA Bolivian d, posts were ex-
tcnsively developed during the war.

Graceharn Letter.

New Years Eve brought both joy and
grief to the church at Graceham. In
the afternoon was the funeral of Mrs.
Ida Creeger. Her sudden and unexpect-
ed departure made her death unusually
sad to large circle of relatives and
friends 1t was a church funeral and
the church was crowded with those who
loved and honored her for her consistent,
earnest Christian life. when she was
friend and a neighbor, while residing in
the village.
The sermon was preached, at the re-
quest of the relatives, by Rev. Flohr,
who had also officiated at the funeral OF
her husband, some four years ago. His
earne st appeals to her children to re-
member the admonitions of their mother,
and to follow her example, brought tears
to many eyes.
- Could not some better arrangement be
made to mitigate the grief of the mourn
ing friends than to have the remains ex-
posed to public view in the church? 1t
makes it hard for the relatives, the con-
gregation, the minister and the funeral
director. From his frequent attendance
at funerals he becomes man OF great
feeling and sympathy, and his sugges-
tions would often be of great help in
robbing death of it's terror and sadness.
After all, tho our tears must and will
flow, can not we who believe that Jesus
is the Resurrection and the Life, give
the glad shout of the apostle Paul, as
. we stand by our loved ones, who have
made their exodus to the better land,
80 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave,
where is thy victory? Thanks be to God
who cive;h US the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ"
At five O'Clock the Ladies' Aid had
everything ready for the annual oyster
supper. Every one from the Sunday
School children to the oldest men had a
good time. The boys provided so law
ishly for their dear ones, that plates
could not be emptied, and they were
more than repaid with the toft smiles
ard whispered condolences of 1.-THE best
girl on earth"
Before the evening was over the la dies
had sold out their supplies, and there
ought to be a substantial addition to
their treasury.
AT the service at 9 p. m. the choir
sang selections appropriate to the hour.
At the closing service the children re-
peated their motion song that, at the
= Christmas time, brought the Christ near
to many hearts. The older girls were
ready to pray, but the summons came
for all to sing the old hymn SO dear to
MoraviAn people. "Now let us praise
the Lord with body, soul and spirit"
The old bell rang out its joyful acclaim
that Gnd's year of grace. 1920 had come,
and with glad New Years greetings all
went joyfully to their homes.
