BEER AND VINE TAX
FOR SOLDIER BONUS
Treasury Says Ii Would Raise
Halt Billion Yearly.

] Washington. Dec 2U.-ModiliratiOn
of the national prohibition ;tlntndlnent
To permit The sale OF beer aIlG Wine

sale of beer and wine have revealed,
officials said. that 5000, 0,0G0.0O0 yearly
would be collected in taxes from this
source
While no indication of the treas
ury'S attitude toward such legislation
was disclosed, it was stated officially,
that the treasury would not oppose
such Il step.
Officials discussed the possibility of
such a measure in the event of the
necessity of providing funds for sol
diers' bonus, but did not indicate that
the treasury was considering any spe-
cial methods of financing to meet such
call upon it.
Concerning the possibilit: "f Il law
on wine and beer, high c:%icial de-
clared that at present "bootleggers"
are getting money which might other
wise be going into the treasury.
Revenue from liquor during the
present fiscal year is expected to be
about One-half of the receipts from
this source during the past year, ac-
cOrding to an estimate made public
by the prohibition bureau. Owing to
the check being placed by Commits
sioner Haynes on Withdrawals, the
bureau said it was estimated that col

proximately One-half of last years

Farmer Dehorns Bull,
Tossed to Roof of Barn

Gillette, WyO.-The fact that
the bull broke loose after the
operation of dehorning, not be-
fore it, probably saved the life of
John Gates, who was attacked
by the animal in his barn near
here, just after he had finished
taking off its horns. Gates had
the buh's feet tied, but the rope
loosened just as the operation
was finished and the bull went
into action. 1t cornered Gates,
tossed him to the roof of the
, barn, caught him as he descend
ed, and again catapulted him
against the roof. The bulls head
was so sore from dehorning,
however, that it then abandoned
the attack, leaving Gates dazed
and badly bruised on the barn
floor.

cueA'S SHATTERED DREAM

The Cubans We're almost sub
merged by the wave of extravapance
Following on the war prices obtained
from sugar. In this respect they
we're very much like other peoples
though perhaps the percentage of
those who thought the abnormal con-
ditions would last forever, was
greater than in the United States
where fortunately a balance of SAM.
ty was preserved.
The fortunes which were made
from sugar grew so fast the owners
gasped in wondermont. They had
stumbled on the end of the rainbow
sure enough and gold cleaned all
around, They began building palaces
on the land and castles in the air and
throwing their money about as
though it were mama which each
day would bring forth. Then came
news Of the sugar surplus. The Gu
bans thought by combining to hold
up the price to ~ cents but it finally
went below three cents and prospec-
tive miilionaires became paupers.
Now they are looking for money
with which to finance their affairs
and are complaining against the pro-
posed sugar tariff, which if it goes
into effect under the Cuban recini-
procity act will require them to paw
sl.6O per hundred weight. At this
the American producers declare the
proposed rate too low and the Amer
lean people will scarcely feel under
opiiSations to maintain those new
palaces in Cuba

THE ERiE-ST. LAWRENCE
PROJECT

The Journal prints in another col
umn the report of Secretary Cleaves
of the Associated Industries of Maine
on the Erie-St Lawrence develop
ment on which it is proposed to
spend around three hundred million
dollars in deepening the water way
and developing hydro electrical pow
er.
This is a matter which is sure to
come before Congress, will be wide
~ discussed and should receive care
ful attention The United States
would be expected to appropriate
money to meet half the cost and
make use at first of two thirds of the
water power product. Canada not at
present being in need OF its half OF
the electrical energy which it is pro-
posed to develop.
Already divergent views are being
entertained some seeing in it a
scheme of the agricultural section of
the mid continent to get its products
to market in the cheapest possible
way at the expense Of the govern
ment. There naturally is some APP
prefension in Maine that the devel
opment of this electricity will supply
those in New England and New York
who otherwise might be induced in
search of cheap power, to seek it in
Maine.
This apprehension Judge Cleaves
apparently does not share, at least
not to the degree manifested in some
quarters. Evidently a considerable
period of time must elapsc before the
project may be completed. during
which the ordinary growth of Can
ada and the United States would al
ter the situation materially.

been unknown, beyond the fact of its
general lusciousness--the famous
Maine BURBERRY pie being second
only to the Maine "punkin" pie
and that has been accepted. But now
comes a very reasonable explanation
of the gulls' Partially to the blue
berries. 1t is we'll known that the
gulls are very fond of clans, especi-
ally the shelled clans in a fisher
mans bait box and here is the little
story from Stetson, over in Penob-
scot county, that tells, beyond misun-
derstarding exactly why the sea
gulls seek the BURBERRY fields, to the
disgust and loss of the owners Read
it:
"A party of twenty FIVE left here
Saturday for the BURBERRY fields
down river, making the return trip
Sunday night. Clam digging was en-
joyed'
The story being a true story. of
course conclusively proves that clans
were found on the BURBERRY fields
visited by that party, therefore it is
fair to believe that other BURBERRY
fields have clans thereon or there
in hence the very probable cause
of the first visits to the BURBERRY
fields of the gulls. which, finding
that they also liked the berries found
above or beside the BURBERRY field
clans, have continued their visits,
tolling other gulls to the rich pick
ings, until they are a nuisance and
source of much profane language on
the part of both fishermen and blue
berry fields owners.

THE GULL MYSTERY SOLVED

Sea gulls We're once considered SO
engers that a prohibition was placed
on killing them in Maine. Their
, beauty and value as scayengers re
main with us, but the protection
given them has resulted in such an
increase in numbers and such a
change in their appetite, caused no
doubt by the luxurious pickings from
have sprung up from one end to the
other Of our Maine coast, that the
gulls have been sometimes at loss
! to satisfy their cravings for delica-
cies. This craving finally led them
to prey upon forbidden fruits
! In due time came energetic pro-
tests from the fishermen and owners
of burberry lands. The gulls have
been known to steal bait from a fish
erman's boat, even with the man
himself in the craft Entire blue
! berry crops have also disappeared

gulls. The fishermen and BURBERRY
owners sought authority from the

found destroying their property, but
were unsuccessful owing TO a United
