MAKING HOME BREW
LEGAL UNDER. NEW
HOUSE BEER BILL

Washington, Aug. 16.-Any house
holder could have his own home brew
under Interpretation placed upon an
amendment to the Willis-Campbell
beer bill approved today by the
house.
The amendment would require
federal agents to have warrants be-
fore entering homes In search OF
liquor. 1t provides, however, that no
warrant shall be issued for search
of a home unless there is reason to
believe such dwelling is used as a
place in which liquor rs manufactur-
ed for sale, or sold"
Representative Fields, Democrat,
Kentucky, declaring that the house
amendment. would virtually sanction
home brew provided that it was
not made to be sold, attempted to
have the words "eor sale'' stricken
out, but his motion was rejected, 81
to 81. 3s& "a
8s. tVOlstead I'm Favor
Representative Volstead, Repub-
lican, Minnesota, author Of the orig
fnal prohibition act, favored the
house substitute as adopted. He de-
jclared later 1t would not change the
policy Of the prohibition enforcement
bureau in reference to home brewing
No attempt OF late has been made on
orders from Washing ton, he said. to
prohibit the home manufacture Of
potent beverages for personal use.
The section we put in the bill
provides that the law is to be en-
forced as we intended when we pass
ed the prohibition act, = said Mr..
'Volstead. While It expressly stipu-
;lates that no homes are to be search
ed without warrants, and then only
II the liquor made Is being sold, fed
'eral officers can get sevtd dence In 9TH
,erHways as to whether the law is be-
ing violated 9.3

REASONS
FOR RECALLING OF
STATE OFFICIALS

Hard headed, sensible voters of
the state without regard to their po-
litical affiliations can find in the
following facts sufficient reasons
for voting for a change in the man.
agement of our state financial affairs
The present administration has en-
deavored in every way possible thru
it's speakers, newspapers, 'magazin-
es, thru paid organizers and salaried
officials to explain a way the charg-
es of treachery to members of the
league, and to the gross misman-
agement OF state affairs. 1t is not
the fault of the membership of the
League that the disaster has occur
red. The leaders Of their organiza-
tion are solely responsible. 1t is
frequently heard now days that
many members of the league them
selves, now realize that they have
been betrayed and the only thing
that can now be done is. to repair the
damage as soon as possible, and clear
away the wreckage.
Here is list of reasons for the
recall election which ought to be
sufficient to satisfy every person Of
sound mind, who has the welfare,
of himself and family and the state
at heart.
Taxes have been tripled in North
Dakota by the League laws.
Marketing conditions which were
to be improved, are worse than they
5ver were.
Farmers arc getting less for their
grain and paying higher freight rat
es than they ever did.
Surcharges on public utility rates
in the three biggest cities were inn
posed by Nonpartisan board.
The Bank of North Dakota is in.
solvent, and unable to meet the just
claims of it's depOsitOrs.
Taxes which have been levied and
paid for specific purposes have been
dissipated and the money is no long
er available.
The program of state marketing
has beer scrapped in favofs6f CO.
operative marketing plan. ~
The state homebuilders' depart
ment has quit functiOning and its af-
fairs are in deplOrable state.
House buyers do not even know
what they will have to pay for their
houses.
The state insurance department is
more than a year behind in it's pay
ments of losses, and some of the 80
20 claims will not be paid for two
years. .-
Virtually every enterprise spon-
sorcd by the inner circle of the So
cialist leaders is bankrupt, the Con-
sumers' United Stores company alone
costing the farmers more than ST.
100000.
State money was deposited in
"League Banks and relOaned by
them to the political gangsters for
their private schemes. These schem-
es are now bankrupt, the league
banks'' are bankrupt, and the Bank
of North Dakota is whistling for its
Money solicited from the farmers
for u "Victory fund" has been used
to pay the debts of the Courier-News,
and the ''Victory fund" has been
sDent as fast as it has been collect
ed.
The state flour mill lost more in
tie first year of operation than it
cost to buy the property.
Nine state Officeholdcrs had hous-
cs built for them out of state funds.
Money for this purpose has been col
lected from widows, schOoltcaclers,
,younded soldiers and hailcd-OMt
farmers.
The directors of the Bank OF NOrti,
Dakota are violating the state law
which makes it felony to receive
money in an insOlvent bank.

PLEASURES OF YOUNG CHINA
Children Have Many Amusements
Which Are Unknown to Young
sters OF Other Countries.

The children of the Chinese village
led sheltered, happy existence with
servants ana young relatives TO amuse
them indoors or without. as the wealth
er permitted, writes NJ. r. f., In Asia
Magazine. They were literally sup
piled by their indulgent grandmother
with pocket money In the form of
handfuls OF ooppers, instead of the
strings Of cash that sufticed an earlier
generation. From passing vendors
they bought bows and arrows Of
brightly painted bamboo, whistling
birds and theatrical figures OF colored
earthenware, inflated rubber toys and
an endless variety of rice flo9f cakes,
sesame seed confectlons, peanut tafy
and millet candy On festal days the
choice was wider than ever with
fluffy punches of sugar wool (fine
spun slrup) and brittle candy toys
blown from molten taffy with all the
glass blowers art, In the form of IAN
terms, birds and fish mounted on slen-
der sticks. At early seasons there
were huge fish made of bamboo
frames, paper covered aud realistical-
ly painted, which swan in breeze
with lazy grace, or kites similarly
fashioned TO represent birds and
dragons which winged upward in fas-
clnatng flight.
