MAKING OF "HOME BREW"
HAS NOT BEEN LOCALIZED

Washington, Sept.19- Warning
that the making of Intoxicating "home
brew" is illegal was issued tonight by
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived recently, he said, concerning
the home manufacture of fruit juices
growing out of reports that head of
household was entitled to making
200 gallons of wine year under
permit.
The prohibition units attitude on
the home brew question was defined
by Mr.. Haynes as follows:
Notwithstanding fruit juices can
be made in the home. Intoxicating
wine, home brew and distilled spirits
may not be made. Two hundred gall
Ions of Misunderstanding fruit juice
may be made tax free by the head of
family registering with collector
of internal revenue. This tax exemp-
tion provision has been the source
Of confusion. The effect Of this is not
to allow the manufacture of 200 gal
Ions of Intoxicating wine, free from
restrictions of the national prohi-
bition act, but merely to allow the
manufacture Of 200 gallons of non
Intoxicating fruit juices free Of tax. "

ROMAN BERTALOT
INJURED BY TRAIN

Roman Bertalot, son of j. &. Berta-
lot. who lives southeast of Monett,
was struck by passenger train No. 10
going east from Monett about 5:35
o'clock Tuesday evening. His head
was badly bruised and he suffered an
injury to his arm. He was driving a
car, which was demolished.
The train crew stopped and picked
the injured man up and took him to
Aurora, where they placed him in the
hospital. He regained consciousness
after reaching the hospital and told
who he was and how to communicate
with his relatives. The hospital man
agement notified his people here and
thev went to Aurora that evening.
Roman Bertalot came to Monett
Tuesday afternoon and was to go by
the place where his father and brother
Aleck Bertalot were shucking corn
and help them awhile. He went on
the road east of the high school, turn
ing south near the Monroe Lovlngs
place, where the road crosses the
Frisco tracks. The young man evl-
IDENTIFY did not notice the train coming
and his car struck the train full force.
Delmer Browning, who lives near
the crossing, went down there to see
why the train stopped and picked up
articles thrown from the car. Among
them was a Monett Times with young
Bertalot's name on it, which led to
investigation as to where the young
man was. His parents knew OF TINS
circumstance and were prepared Tor
the news of his injury when the hos
pital people telephoned.
A telephone message from the nos
pital this afternoon was received at
The Times office and it said that Mr.
Bertalot was conscious, but that the
extent of his injuries was YET un-
determined and they are waiting Tor
developments.

LEGION WILL MEET
IN HANNIBAL
DIR. H. F. Parker of Warrensburg
Elected State Commander Over
st. Louis Man.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 20.-The
fourth annual state convention of the
American Legion will be held in 1922
in Hannibal. The northeast Missouri
city was chosen unanimously this
afternoon by the convention as the
place for next years meeting. It was
only after hard fight with Columbia
and Joplin that Hannibal gained the
convention. The expected fight in the
election of the state commander failed
to materialize and DR.. Harry Fields
Parker of Warrensburg was elected
by a vote of 245 to 1877 over Raymond
Ladrier of st. Louis.
Five vice commanders were elected
this year instead of one, as heretofore
Six men were nominated for the posi-
tions, and on the vote Claude Crooks
of Maplewood, the low man., was
eliminated and the officers were
awarded to the remaining five in
order, according to the number Of
votes they received. The new officers
are:
Alfred Schlapper, Concordia, first
vice president; John Mabrey, Cape
Girardeau, second vice president;
William F. Hurst, South st. Joseph,
third vice president; DR.. Mazyck P.
Ravenel, Columbia, fourth vice presi-
dent; Mitchell Gharno, Kansas City,
fifth vice president.
In electing the delegates to the ma
tional convention at Kansas City each
district named man and so delegates
at-large were elected by the conven-
tion. 1t was originally planned
to name 20 delegates from the floor,
in addition to Post Commander John
F. Williams and Commander Harry
F. Parker. Thirty-two nominations
were made, however, and the con-
vention voted to elect all of them and
apportion the 10 votes given to the
delegates-at-large equally between
them.
The official delegate from the
fifteenth district is H. H. Landreth,

FOR MUTUAL ADVANTAGE

When any city or town starts out
to get into closer touch with the
farmers who live in it's territory it is
only doing that which common sense
dictates as something that ought to
help the entire community.
The line that is sometimes drawn
between "town folks" and country
folks" is purely imaginary. They are
exactly the same kind of people. The
city man understands, if he has ordin-
airy gumption, that the farm is the
basis of all his prosperity. And the
country man understands, if he has
ordinary gumption, that the city is
only the natural outcome of an age
old instinct of banding together by
country people for greater conven-
fence in trading and carrying on life's
ordinary activities.
When Joplin business men anonunce
they are going to make an effort to
get more farmers in this vicinity to
come to Joplin, the farming people
ought to be willing to meet them
half way, because they stand to win
just as much by any change in this
direction as do the city men. 1t is
situation where both sides may benefit
without anybody running any risk of
losing.-Joplin Globe.

SIZER & GARDNER WIN
BIG JUDGMENT

A jury at Mt. Vernon Tuesday gave
Harry w. Davis of Ft. Smith, S14,-
100000 damages against the Missouri
Pacific Railroad Comptny, for injury
to his shoulder while switching in the
yards at Ft, Smith, on September Ia,
1920.
Davis being unable to settle with
the company, employed the law firm
of Sizer & Gardner, and although this
accident occurred -at Ft. Smith Ar
kansas, they filed suit at Mt. Vernon,
Mo. They claimed that Davis was
switching and handling cars loaded
with interstate merchandise, and that
his injury resulted from violation OF
the Safety Appliance Laws, and his
case was therefore governed by the
Federal Laws.
While riding through the yards on
the foot-board of a switch engine,
switchman Davis was caused to fall
from the foot-board in front of the
engine, and part of the engine passed
over his body, dislocating right arm.
The federal laws require railroad
companies to keep their foot-boards
level and in proper condition for the
men to ride upon, but this foot-board
had been jammed by the pilot OF a
road engine, and set in slanting
position, and on account Thereon,
Davis feet were caused to slip off
the end of the foot-board, and threw
him in front of the moving engine.
The case was hotly contested, and q
great number of witnesses were in at
tendance from Fort Smith, during the
two days trial. THE company was
represented at the trial by Judge +,
A. Barbour and Senator F. M. Nc
David, of Springfield and attorney
Sam Jennings of Little Rock, Ark
At the completion of the, trial, the
jury in a very short time rendered q
unanimous verdict for the plaintiff
for $14.0O0.0O.

SEPTEMBER CLOSES
VACATION SEASON
Effort May Be Made to Encourage
Tourists to Visit Hills During
Winter Months.

Springfield, Sept. 20.-The passing
of September will mark the close Of
one of the most successful vacation
seasons that the Ozark resort region
has ever known. Even now tourists
are beginning to leave the summer
camps, which dot the shores Of Lake
Taneycomo, and make their way city%
ward. 1t is expected that by the first
of October the majority of the camps
in the White river country will be
closed.
A number Of the. resort keepers
along the lake are considering a
plan whereby the Ozarks may also
become winter resort. In this
connection it has been brought out
that the lake affords excellent oppor.
tunity for skating and during seasons
when the snow is heavy there are
numerous sites where toboggan slides
and ski tracks might be erected. The
greatest objection to this plan, how
ever, is that the winters in the Ozark
country are usually mild and there
is rarely enough snow to make winter
sports practical.
The commercial clubs of Branson,
Hollister and Forsythe are making
plans to accommodate larger number
of tourists next season and it is prob
able that a number Of new camps will
be established among the hills and
along the lake.
