18th Amendment
and VoIstead Act

WIN bhe going oOWh VI eho sun
on the 18th Of the month this coun-
try has had twelve months Of 'bone
dry" prohibition. The enforcement
Of this law has met with many diff
ficulties and with the initial steps
taken the people are very much
pleased. Mt. Sterling, under auspices
of the w. G. T. u, celebrated the
anniversary with a program in which
DIR. J. L. Clark was spokesman, In
Producing subjects and speakers.
Judge H. r. Prewitt was the first
speaker introduced. His address was
instructive from legal standpoint
and also as to the manner Of en-
forcement of the law. He spoke as
representative Of Judge of The Coun-
ty Court, prosecuting attorney, as
wen as giving personal views. Judge
Prewitt told his audience that under
this amendment and the Volstead
Enforcement Act all violations,
whether the moonshiner, who made
and sold, the bootlegger or the pur-
chaser, each came under the same
law as criminals and would be SO
dealt with. He urged the people 20
cooperate with officials, that the
public and public servants may eff
fectively enforce the Volstead Act.
Hoffman Wood, for 8 years U.
S. Commissioner, reviewed in part
incidental that had come before him,
told Of the difficulties encountered
in suspecting, arresting and con-
victing violators Of the revenue
laws; that there are people that
would give information but would
not permit the use of names in order
that warrants could be issued, and
the guilty brought to justice. Mr..
Wood recited many instances and
urged the good people to cooperate
with officials, county, state and fed
eral, in bringing violators to justice,
that the manufacturer of moonshine
liquors and bootlegging be put to
an end
County Attorney W. A. Samuels
spoke next on the subject, 'Does
Prohibition Prohibit" His remarks
were brief and to the point and by
declaration, argument and vision
was forceful in pressing home the
fact that here, as elsewhere, "pro-
hibition does prohibit"
At the close others were asked to
give views as to the enforcement of
the laws to which Rev. B w. Trimble
said he anticipated the need Of vigi-
lance and rigid effort and that he
could be counted on to do his part,
Owing to the lateness Of the hour
the meeting closed after directing
the W. C. T. U. and ministers of the
city in conjunction with the officials
of the courts to meet in the Women's
Rest Rooms and name COMMITTEES
whose business it win be to detect
cause to be arrAigned and prescott
ed, any violators Of the law.

The Anniversary of the Battle of
Shiloh

The local remnant of the Veterans
of the Civil War met at the Bruins
wick Hotel, Thursday p. m. to COM
memorate this important event in the
history of the Republic. Belshazzar's
feast was put TO shame by the
spread" given the veterans, and the
afternoon was filed in by a full
chorus of the old-time' campaign
songs. We were ably supported by
Mesrs. Reeder, Wann and McLain in
the vocal numbers. Mrs. Neiswanger
presided at the piano; but 1 believe
the concert" would have been a
failure but for Mrs. Fields, the So
pranO.
All in all we had a soulful time,
and may this annual event continue
far into the future.

GERMANY LOST TOY MARKET
United States and Japan Now Supply
Canada With PIsythinos She
Does Not Produces.

The United States is now first In
supplying those toys needed to supple
ment the output Of Canadian factories.
The additional quantity required by
Canada to supply its own domestic
trade amounted in the, last year to ST.
100000 worth. Before the war Ger
many was the chief source of supply,
but the United States NOW leads and
Japan has likewise made q notable adj
vance in its toy shipments to that
market. In 1913 American exports OF
toys to Canada amounted to $273, 13S
and in the year ended March 81, 1920,
the total was 1,136372. Japan's trade
grew from $18,73S to $277,946 In the
same PERIOD while there was only :.
small increase in toys sent from the
United Kingdom.
The toy and doll industry Of Can
ada, according to Vice Consul Horace
Nj. Sanford ut Ottawa, has made con-
siderable advance compared with pre-
war time, but imports were needed to
meet the domestic demand. At the
present time some thirty-five Canadian
toy factories are listed, although the
census returns Of 1918 reported only
fifteen. The kinds Of toys made there
include animals, autos, balls, billiard
games, boats, building blocks, car
riages crokinole boards, croquet sets,
dishes, dolls furniture, games, garden
sets, lawn swings, pool tables, tricycles
and wheelbarrows, which are made Of
celluloid. eramel, iron, steel, tin, rub
Der and wood.
Last year Canada exported $3.50, O52
worth Of dolls and toys, the United
States taking $5,635 worth and the
United Kingdom $120,322.

signs are different, but, at the same
time, there is a marked similarity in
most of them.

placed at one corner of the house and

living room, the graceful curve Of the
roof projection over the dormer and
the shingled sides take this home out
Of the ordinary. Yet it is one Of the
most inexpensive of homes to build.
