WASHINGTON D. C., Oct. 1. That home brewing and wine-making, ostensibly for home consumption, are on the increase. especially in rural districts, was revealed in an examina- tion of stacks of letters in the TO hibition unit Of the Treasury Depart ment.
 In the face of this fact Davis II Blair, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue. remarked recently: "The peo pie are giving iei.er support to the enforcement law
 Public sentiment and public senti- ment alone, will control the prohibit tion situation in the United States" he declared, adding. q think senti ment for more strict law observance with respect to the NOlstead act is growing Concerning the activity of enforcement branches it must be re memhered that physical force alone never can bring absolute obedience to the dry la~s"
 Under treasury opinion rendered almost a year ago prohibition direc- tors were authorized to issue permits to persons to make wines of fruit juices for personal use, not exceed ing 200 gallons a year. This ruling has not been changed and will not be amended, officials said.
 There was much surprise however in the ruling that the directors were authorized to issue permits the, official opinio' being that the tidipgs just have begun to be re alized
 This opinien is alteitd by the fact that this is tho season for the gar nering of fruit crops. Due to the economic situation many farmers have no market for their fruit. and as in many sections the yield has been exceedingly great, there is d disposition to utilize the Surplus.

ACCOUNT GIVEN
 OF EXPEDITION
 TO MT. kATMAI
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Called Nations
 Greatest Monument.

The for portion of the Septem- her number of the National Geograph e Magazine is given to an article hy Dr. Robert F. GrigE5. describing Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes being the account of the final ex petition made in l913.. into that re zion of the National Geographic So cietv Dr. Griggs was the director of these expeditions, of which there have been six.
 The article is entitled "Our Great est National Monument and it can not be said to be misleading when one sbsorbs the. article and views the illustrations. The latter are 91 in number. consisting of 73 repro. ductions from black and white photo graphs and IS in color. The color photography. which was made pos sible hy overcoming serious difficul ties. aids the reader to a realization of the coloring of the valley which is so vividly described by Dr Griggs in his article.
 From natural phenomena the au- thor concludes that the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes was the scene of a host Of volcanoes which literally came into existence overnight, prob ably near the first of June, 1912 some time before the beginning of the terrific explosions which marked the eruptions of the mountain volca- noes These myriad volcanoes did not appear on the hills or mountains. "This was no reawakening of dor mant vents he says, "such as con- stitutcs the vast majority of erup- tions. hut rather the formation of new volcanoes in areas whore none had existed previously = These now volcanoes consisted simply of holes blown through the floor of the valley"
 The phenomena of the valley is de- scribed thoroughly by Dr. Griggs. He gives in some detail the work carried out by the final expedition and gives due credit to the members of the party for their efforts in making it a success.
 The place, he declares, is ideally
 situated for side trip from what
 will undoubtedly become the favorite
 Alaska tour when the new Govern ment Railway is completed-the trip Through the Inside Passage and elong the coast under Mt St. Elias, 'a the head of Cook Inlet, thence into the interior past Mt. Mckinley by rail and up the Yukon by steamer, returning via the White Pass" A safe harbor. he says, was dis covered by the last expedition which was named by it Geographic Harbor. SOundings were made in the chan nel by which entrance was effected and it was found that in it was rlenty of water and room for the largest ships. No facilities for sound ing the entire bay were possessed by he expedition. Not more than 50 or so miles of road. he says. would be | necessary to reach the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and to connect it with navigation on Naknek Lake With such road constructed it would be possible for the tourist to leave his steamer in the morning traverse the entire valley and return to his vessel before night

Texas, over twenty-five years ago.
At that time he had proved beyond
the shadow of doubt that the useful
products. results and services Of la
Dor. were the only genuine ultimate
means of payment. He exposed the
present entirely unjustifiable methods

HEREDITY VERSUS

Mrs. Doughery will preside next
Sunday night over the deliberations Of
the Mental Science Class, having been
selected for that office at the last
meeting. The balance of the fifth les

ded in the sub-conscious, ingrained in
the very flesh. were pointed out as one
of the great obstacles to human pro-
gress. Illusions and misconceptions.
speculations and hypotheses Of every
kind and degree have so entangIed
most of us in a web of artificiaIity that
the patent everyday facts of existence
are hardly recognized.
The unity of the absolute, the one
ness of all existence was called to the
attention of the class. Just as the

The farmers of Rosepine are not
going to be caught again with full

a carload of their sweets to Chicago

there last Saturday night. discussion
was had on a proposition offered by
a farmer and commission merchant
from DeRidder, who has recently To-
Gated there from Colorado. Farmers
were asked to grow watermelons on
a large scale to secure shipment of
two carloads week during the grow
ing season.
After ascertaining the varieties
best adapted to shipping and other
information it was decided to call
for acreage promises. and total Of
fifty three acres was pledged, and
the variety chosen was the Tom Wat

FUNCTIONING OF THE CON-
ScIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS

The relation Of the conscious to the
subconscious mind was the subject Of
the fifth lesson in mental science,
which occupied the attention Of the
class on Jan. 30. The pains
taking, exacting analysis of every mat
Ter presented to the objective mind,
was declared imperative. The OBJ
jective mind is the porter at the gate
of consciousness (the senses); and
whenever this porter is deceived, the
whole household of mentality is de-
i eived. Careful scrutiny of every pro-
position presented for cognizance can
not be dispensed with. Even the
Apostle Paul enjoined his students:
Prove all things and hold fast to that
which is good" (true.)
If anything is swallowed mentally,
without careful verification, it, in
wolves mental dyspepsia. The sub
conscious is purely deductive, and has
no inductive, anal lytical capacity.
The whole body, every cell in fact,
is permeated with minds men
tai, and any idea, conception, or sug-
gestion once accepted as true by the
conscious mind. and passed on to the
subconscious, is lived up to. or down
to. by the subconscious. Thoughts of
fear, of disease. Of weakness, ineffi-
cheney. ETC., will, without fail. mani
