WHO GETS THE CHAMPAGNE?

We note the following sad complaint
from France, told in a cable dispatch
from Paris:
That French grape growers and
wine merchants are greatly dis
appointed at the slow increase of
wine shipments TO the United
States since the war: that only
5000 more bottles of champagne
were shipped here during the first
five months of this year than dur
ing the corresponding five months
last year. The dispatch said that
total shipments so far this year to
the u. $. were only $4,000 bottles.
indicating that we would take no
more than 100000 bottles Of
champagne this year"
Ahpm, So some people i'll this
country have been able to get $1,000
bottles of champagne in this strict pro
hibition year of 1921. Necessarily
those $4,000 bottles of highly eXpen
sive wine had to go through the Gus
tom service of the same government
that is supposed to enforce prohibition
Who are people favored?
We suppose some doctor will remark
that the champagne was for sickness
But how about the millions of bottles
of wine that were in storage when
prohibition went into effect? Is that
all gone? And who consumed it:
Moreover. if it is still in storage why
add $1,000 to it in five months?
There has been great deal said
that prohibition is for the poor man
and not for the rich man. 1t behOoves
our enforcing authorities to see to il
that this law applies to everybody.

LACK OF GENERAL RAINS

\ lack of general rains over much OF
the United States has seriously
threatened crop prospects. Some sec
tionS have been favored by cOpiOus To-
cal rains and crops look well, but many
sections have experienced droughty
conditions which make crop prospects
dubious at this time.
The writer spent last week in South
Dakota and noted that these conditions
prevailed there Over much of that
state. and also i'm North Dakota. the
crops are spotted. Wheat, oats and
grass plainly show the pressing need
of rain over most of the country.
Some few favored spots show good
crops In the dry sections. wheat and
oats were headed out on stalks only
ten or twelve inches high and the low
or leaves and stems had begun to turn
yellow. Farmers were cutivating their
corn and potatoes aSSduouSly and these
crops showed but little if any damage
a week ago One farmer told the
writer that more corn and less wheat
will undoubtedly be grown in South
Dakota hereafter, as Well-cultivated
corn can withstand more dry weather
than uncultivated small grains. Pas
lures were nearing the bare stage.
Farmers were beginning to be very APP
prehpnsive of still harder times than
now prevail in South Dakota, and mer-
chants shared fully the same feeling.

casts Tragedy Impending
Over America.
FUEL OPERATORS HIT
Says Mine Owners Have United Into
"One Big Union" to Gouge Coal
Buyers and to Oppose Govern
ment Supervision.

WashingtOn-A warning that a
tragedy in the nature of a coal
famine" is impending over the United
States, and an assertion that all ma
tional organizations in the coal indus
try have united into one big union
to continue their strangle hold on the
necks and purses of coal buyers" de-
feating Federal legislation intended to
cope with the problem, were issued by
Senator Frelinghauysen, Republican of
New Jersey.
Refers to Row Over Bills.
The statement referred to the con-
troversy over the Frelinghuysen bills,
now on the senate calendar, one of
which would facilitate granting of
freight rates on coal lower in sum-
mer and higher in winter, while the
second would establish government
supervision of coal prices, production,
stocks and movements.
Naming the National Coal associa-
ton, the Anthracite Coal Operators
association, the American Wholesale
Coal association, and the National Re-
tail Coal Merchants association, Sen
ator Frelinghuysen said these 'com
bined organizations have unmasked
their batteries, and are attacking with
a Violence almost unprecedented the
very practical piece Of legislation be-
fore the Senate" and were endeavor-
sensations" to throw dust in the eyes
of the Senate and the public
Operators Sincerity Doubted.
Coal operators, Senator Frelinghuy
sen said, always asserted that high
prices during recent shortage periods
never brought them great profits.
but | am disposed to believe they
have never been sincere, and have
never told the truth regarding opera
tors profits" and in hectic fulmina-
ton" lobbyists Of the ''bombastic furi-
oso type" are issuing propaganda of
grotesquely inaccurate and misleading
nature" to make it appear that govern
ment operation of mines is involved in
the legislation.
eff those bills are defeated,
tragedy next fall and winter in the
nature of coal famine, worse than
ever experienced BEFORE is inevitable"
Senator Frelinghuysen said pointing
out that his measures would come to
vote or be sent back to committee
next week.

DRESS CENSORSHIP AND THE
,JACKASS

Isn't it about time that the women
folks of this country put a stop to the
antics of the mOunebank who plays the
tin Car at Zion City, H.?
We, refer to this "Overseer" Voliva
person, grand mOSul of the old Dowie
church of fanatics who are in the ma
jOrity at Zion City. VOliva. having
the votes behind him. has made a lot
Of tomfOol rules for the conduct of
women. One is that women must al
ways wear their dress sleeves down to
their wrists. Another is that the
dress must run clear up to the throat
The material in womenS clothes must
not be in the slightest bit gauzy.
A Mrs. Sarah Johnson. who is per-
fectly respectable woman of Win
throp HarbOr. ILL.,. stepped off the
train at Zion City the other day. Her
sleeves didn't quite come down to the
wrists. Her waist didn't reach up to
the middle of the throat and VOliva' 5
chief Of police thought that the dress
goods might have been thicker SO
he clapped her into Jail.
inns Is PLAIN outrage Another
case of man barking back 1000 years
10 the time when he had complete
censorship over the female of the Spe-
cies. In our opinion Mrs. johnson
ought to plead not guilty to whatever
charge this jackass of a VOliva makes
against her and then appeal from his
decision to the highest court of the
land. We think that there are plenty
Of women in the United States who
will be glad to help her finance such
an appeal.
Incidentally, we hear that Mrs. John
son is the recipient of many letters Of
encouragement from her angry sisters
in Illinois. If you think she has been
martyred by the prison cell treatment,
why not write her.

OF tiptoeing through our parlor-room
OF late | often dream;
l see the waxwork flowers a-bloom,
The hanging lamp agleam;
The whatnot still uplifts its head
In polished self-esteem.
The table with the top a-hinge
Is next the closet door,
The mats upon the zinc impinge
And cover half the floor.
! notice where the carpet shows,
1t scarcely hasn't wore.
The stove with Furnished tube above
And moulded box below,
With maple chunks is still in love,
AS in the long-ago;
| hear the roaring up the hue,
see the hearth aglow.
The haircloth chairs and sofa still
Are where they used to stand;
The picture of an English ril,
With sheep on either hand
Is hanging near the highboy there
Ajest as grandma planned
move a motto frame to see
Allow the paper wears;
1t hasn't faded-seems to me,
Except the pinkish squares;
The ceiling still is white enough
Also the whitewash stares.
And here is where the preacher stood
Upon that dismal day,
OF widowhood and orpbanhood
And teams in long array;
His mournlul voice dissolyes the
dream
| tiptoe fast away.
