ANOTHER INTERESTING
ORDER DISCLOSED.

Among the interesting collection Of or
ders which Orbison declares were is
sued only IN the "gTavest emergencies"
for medical purposes is one Of Feb. 20
In favor Of Ben Bothchild, which reads
as follows
''You will deliver to Ben Rothchlld
fourteen quarts Of newly made wine,
which was seized in a recent raid on his
home. This wine is to be used for sac
ramental purposes only and the giving
Of this wine in no way establishes pres

matter Of fact, the wine was made with
cut a permit and legally speaking the
owner thereof has no right to its pos
session"
This remarkable order is signed by
Charles J. Orbison as Federal prohibit
ton director for the State of Indiana.
Comparison Of the orders, which Mr..
Orbison says were Issued by him, and
the orders which were honored at the
police station reveals that there are a
number Of orders in existence on which
whisky has not been obtained.

CHAUTAUQUA HEADLINER

the noted explorer who is to lecture
here on the second evening of Chaut-
auqua, is in reality boundless stock
range capable of raising herds that
will feed the world. The barren
tundras, according to Mr.. Stefansson,
reach out in limitless direction and
may be had for the taking. The
stock that Craze on them, the rein
deer and the caribou, need no barns
nor haystacks. The reindeer pro
vides for itself. Protected from the
northern wolf. it could be raised in
unlimited hundreds of thousands,
sufficient to feed the meat-eating
world.
This was one Of the theroies Of the
Northland which was upset by Mr..
Stefansson during his five great years
spent in the Arctic. Instead of find
ing bleak, barren country, he dis
covered land with plenty of food
for the traveller, provided the travel
err learns how to obtain it. He found
a land of first class ranges, rather
than an eternal desolation OF snow
and ice. He found land rich in
possibilities for future development
along food-producing lines. In his
great illustrated lecture, my Five
Years in the Arctic. Mr.. Stefansson
