the reason that, before the war, the

Poles were not to the fore in control

Control by British capital became

were on foot for the transfer of Brit

The Polish Government during the

THE AGITATED GRAPE GROWER

and went down to a bitter. bowling defeat. A year ago last spring, vine yards could be bought for a song. Some far-sighted men who had the song bought a lot of them.
 Fall came with large crop of grapes. It brought also an army of buyers. Before prohibition the price or wine grapes had varied from SIC to s20 a ton, and the price of Concord grapes from s30 to $40 a ton. With the manufacture of wine prohibited oy an amendment to the federal con- stltntion, and with the manufacture or grape juice greatly reduced by a tish tax, grapes began to sell at from so9 ton up. Especially up. Last iaH Wine grapes were actually sold Tor as high as s225 a ton.
 A Prohibition Miracle
 The grape grower who had sold his vineyard tore his hair. The man who had bought it made the purchase price on single crop. All concerned were reminded that they lived in d world where the incredible happens. fronlpltlon, which was expected to renoer the grape vine no more valu- able than a gourd. had actually made grapes dearer perhaps than they had ever been before in human history.
 mere was never any doubt who bought those grapes They were bought by hundreds of thousands of persons who made wine in their homes It was estimated on pretty rehable information that 65 per cent or the raisin crop also went into the making of hooch.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31- What will grapes sell for this fall?
 That is a question which is pain fully agitating thousands of men who own vineyards, some of whom have staked their whole fortune on the grapevine. To a less extent it is troubling all of the dealers and mid dlemen who have to do with the dis tribution of the grape crop.
 Prohibition has converted the growing and selling of grapes from a quiet, stable industry into a wild and speculative one. The vineyard ist, once a peaceful and contented fellow, has become an excited and distraught one, who alternately dreams of fabulous wealth and quakes at the threat of bankruptcy.
 The answer to the all important question. as to what price he should get for his grapes, formerly came from few large dealers. Ninety two per cent of the grapes grown in America are grown in California, and most of these are wine grapes. The rest are raisin grapes, also grown in California, and the Concord grapes grown in a few eastern states and sold for table consumption and for the making of grape juice. Hence the wine makers and the grape juice makers took the great bulk of the grape crop every year at a fixed fig ure- The market was sure and the price did not vary greatly.
 When the threat of prohibition loomed large, tfe grape growers saw m II nothing but prospective ruin They fought it with all their might,

The resignation of Rev. Dr. McElveen pastor of Congregationalist church in Portland, Oregon, has been suggested of his alleged profanity He called somebody damned fool" The doctor defends his utterance the ground that it accurate description of the individual whom it was applied.
 We think the critics of the doctor are right in demanding a revision of his speech but they wrong in regarding it prohibited profanity It is the common use by profane persons which has given such words damned" "devsh" and other now inhibited expressions a place in the category of profane words,
 The word damned therefore. when used the doctor used it. has appearance of evil" which he and all of us are enjoned by the Bible avoid.
 pr. McElveen holds that this and other exple- tives which he finds helpful in conveying his ing come under the of free speech which should not be abridged in the pulpit anywhere else. If these words added strength to speech would agree with the doctor, but do not think that a rule they do.
 Now and then man by a profane outburst makes an unusual impression upon his audience that the good results probably overbaance the sin of the lapse We have in mind the heated language Of Brigadier General Dawes before a congressional Investigating committee.
 General Dawes was replying to criticisms of the handling supplies in France under his direction. In the course of his explanation conditions there that time he resorted to the use of words mony held to be profane and thereby he inn his remarks the country that his explan- ation regarded to be in full and therefore satisfactory. The explanation stripped sul- phuric verbiage probably would not have come to the attention of large number of his fellow citizens The effect of it would have been lost It would have been nothing except addition to a lot of literature subject destined no other end than mustiness and obscurity-a place in the archives.

American ex-service men have all along been treated by their government with suspicion. When ever they try to avail themselves of the benefits the little legislation that has been enacted their benefit they regarded trying "to put some thing over" When applied for compensation because ill health he was compeed-to atempt the frequently impossble-to prove that his ailment was traceable to the service.
 Under the Sweet bill however we understand that the government will the burden of proof But there is much to be done for the service man. We could well follow Canada which is doing more and for its soldiers It has just amended the Returned Soldiers Insurance Act so that all members of the Canadian forces wherever resi- dent may participate in it's benefits. Hitherto the insurance available only to those living in Canada
 The act is late re-establishment measure of the Canadian government. It provides insurance for x-service men without medical examination at premium rates lower than those of line insurance companies. Policies have liberal cash value after they have been in force two years. The maximum amount of insurance allowed one individual is $5 ooo and after the policy has been in effect two years it automatically -forfetable in the event of non-payment of premiums
 The scheme is the only one of its kind in exis- tence The physical condition of the ex-soldier has no bearing on his eligibility. No matter how seriously ne may be disabled, he is entitled to insurance at exactly the same rates a in sound physical health The Canadian government provides this in surance/ especially for disabled men who can not obtain ordinary insurance
 In addition to who served in the Canadian Iorces' men who served in the army or navy of any or the allied powers are also eligible provided they "ere resiuents or canada before the and are residents at the time of application for insurance the insurance is being handled by a government board of commissioners in Ottawa

 Later the residence passed into the hands of Albert Steinfeld. and since then various other persons have owned the place.
 The house was built before Main and Mccormick were graded. When the two streets were graded a few years ago new foundations were put in. but the house was considerably weakened.
