Home Brew

My neighbor Bitten took
some hops and herbs and roots
and barks, and brewed pail of
sparkling slops. to Danish care
that carks; and then he slipped
some forty drops with eloquent
remarks. There is no reason
why a hick should suffer and be
dry; this brew of mine is pretty
slick, it beats the stuff you buy;
it has the pep, it has the kick,
the potency of rye" He took
another forty drops, directly
from the pail, then uttered sum
dry warlike yawps that made
me shrink and quail, and tried
to whip the village cops who
bore him off to jail. The home
brew artists have no luck. this
mad and merry year; through
straws of garden hose they suck
their nectar, amber clear, and
then they're loaded on a truck
and jailed for half a year. They
never seem to put across the
graft they've framed so we'll; a
bowl or two they blithely toss,
and arch their necks and yell,
and then they're seen, a total
loss, in some punk prison cell.
And, having seen what ills be-
fall the home brew sports this
year, l do not fill my f1agons tall
with stuff that looks like beer,
but to the hydrant by the wall
my steps l sanely steer.

DEMAND FOR SAFE RoADWAYS
Some Kind Of Protection Should Nc
Provided TO Keep Cars From
Skiddine OF Dirt Rezds.

What value do we place on q human
lifei To judge by some OF the roads
over the country IL is not much Lives
are lost many times where a few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking q
ride along them on q rainy day In an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now.
says writer In Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend OF mine was driv-
ing along a road within a half mile Of
a small town and ran into q ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally. though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road. but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet Of the
roadway, and there was not even q
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
of and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds Of automobiles are
owned in every part Of the country
and il is impossible TO always keep
of roads when they are slippery, IL Ia
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them In q condi-
ton that would make an accident IN
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years / have been
riding around considerably and We
have been in places where IL was very
dangerous driving. and often came up
on such places with no chance At all
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
bridge after a light shower. and on
the far side found that IL had cavsd
away TO within six inches OF the read,
though that was solid. For q rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road.
with nothing to check a slide into IL.
A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge Our car could not make
the hill. and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit Of skidding
would have been certain to have car
