On Thursday, Oct. 20, one of the
most important events in the dairy
cattle world of Maine occurred
when the noted heifer, Belle
Colantha Wayne segis, purchased
by the Thorsen Farms from the
Carnation Stock Farms of Seattle,
Wash, for one of the highest prices
ever paid for an animal coming into
Maine, gave birth to heifer calf
The father of this calf was Carna-
tion King Sylvia, who sold for
9lU o,UUU, ana was the WOrlQ S Nigh
est priced bull. This is the only
progeny of Carnation King Sylvia
in the eastern part of the United
States, and is one of the most valua-
BILE calves ever born in the New
England states. The Carnation
Farms short time ago lost the
noted sire of this calf, and are in
the market to buy back all his pro-
geny. Mr.. Thorsen has received
very handsome offers from them, as
we'll as from other parties, for the
calf, but has decided to keep the
animal, which will be named Thor
sen Farms Carnation Sylvia, for one
of the foundation animals in his
herd of Holsteins, which is already
recognized as one of the finest in
the East.

Trenton alone If his brother would
lend him a dollar. When Andrew re-
fused the loan, according to witnesses,

ON HOME BREW
Impression That intoxicating

Declared Mistake
PERMITS CANNOT BE ISSUED
1t Is Also a Violation Of the Law TO
Sell or Possess For Sale Malt
Extract For Manufacture
ing Cereal Beverages.

Washington clear up the mis-
taken impression held throughout the
country that manufacture Of intoxicat-
ing wine is permitted to heads Of fam
lilies, Prohibition Commissioner Roy
A. Haynes has made his promised
statement on what's what"
Misunderstanding fruit Juice can be
made in the home it says "Intcxi-
eating wine, home brew and distilled
spirits may not be made"
There is a widespread impression
that 1t is legal to manufacture with
out a permit, in the home or else
where, beer, ale and porter containing
less than one-half of / per cent of al
cohol by volume.
Manufacturers of malt extracts
and similar material endeavor to take
advantage of this supposed condition
of the law to sell extracts or material
for the manufacture by persons In the
home of beer. ale, or porter, ostensibly
to contain a high alcoholic content.
"Such persons seek to hide their
fraudulent objects by putting the re-
cipe for the manufacture Of liquor
containing high alcoholic content in
the shape of warning not to follow
a certain course, because such course
will produce high alcoholic content
without, of course, decefving anyone
as to the real intent"
After further discussion of the tech
nicalities of the law, the commission
concludes:
ut is violation to manufacture,
sell or possess for sale. except to a
person holding permit under the ma
tional prohibition act, malt extract
with hops and clarified for the manu-
facture of cereal beverages or malt
liquor.
This office has not issued permits
for the manufacture of wine, home
brew, distilled spirits, or any other
intoxicating liquors for beverage use
in the home or elsewhere, and under
the law cannot issue such permits"
