BEER PRICES TAKE

prohibition officials. following warn
ings issued by physicians and peace
officers to Americans here against
drinking bootleg liquor, have taken
a hand in an effort to abolish a
number of alleged Illicit stills where
the liquor is manufactured.
Liquid resembling whiskey, wines,
beer, tequilla, (Mexican whiskey) and
other liquors in Juarez, have been
found on this side to contain in
furious elements, although 1t is seal
ed as genuine.
Dealers in Juarez find a ready
market for empty liquor bottles, and
double price is paid when labels are
not broken.
Illicit manufacturers have several
means of deceiving buyers. They get
a cheap brade Of whiskey and put it
in bottles which contained expensive
brands. Water and tea frequently
are used to dilute the liquid. Others
burn sugar, make tea from leaves of
various kinds and add a little alco-
hol. Wine is treated with colored
matter and artificial flavors.
An over-supply of beer made in
Juarez. Chihuahua City, Monterrey
and Mexico City, offered to Juarez
saloons, has created another upheav
al in Juarez liquor circles The
wholesale price OF beer has been
slashed and retail prices reduced.

PLACED VALUE OF
SLAVE OVER WEALTH

ATLANTA. Sept. 13-f Thomas
Peacock had chung to a piece of At
lanta real estate that he snapped
years ago for Ran Peacock, negro
slave, he would have been worth at
least 100000 before he died. But
he never regretted it, according to
his statement.
Death now has claimed them both.
Mr.. Peacock died a few years ago,
and Uncle Ran" passed away the
other day at the age of SO. The
property increases in value yearly
as Atlanta grows, "but it was the
best bargain | ever made" was the
white mans remark few years ago
when he saw great office building
going up on the lot at Whitehall and
Alabama streets, one of the most
valuable corners in the city.
The story behind the trade Is that
of the affection of the old-time south
erner for the slave boy who was his
especial playmate. Seventy years
ago before Lewis Peacock died. in
apportioning out his property he left
Ran to his daughter. Mrs. Thomas
Connolly Young Thomas Peacock. a
few years later, gave his sister his
fourth interest in the Alabama-White-
hall corner for Ran. who. as likely
Young negro. was worth around
$500 Mrs. Connolly's son now
owns the lot and the Connolly build
ing which stands on It, Real estate
men say the lot itself is worth $780,
900 or more.
Peacock said it was the best bar
gain he ever made because when he
went away to war he left Ran to
take care of Mrs Peacock and the
children and it was Ran who
worked the plantation near Atlanta
and foraged for the wife and children
Of his master. after Sherman's SOL
diers had burned the city and
stripped the countryside OF food.

POISONED BOY;
NAIL in FENCE:
OPERATION DONE

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 13.-lf a
Spokane mother hadn't feared that
her small son was poisoned by toad
stools, and if the father hadn't for
gotten to drive down nail sticking
up in the fence around their home,
the third finger of Emergency Officer
Joe SCOTS right hand would still
be useless, as it has been for the
past 80 years.
Thirty years ago Officer Scott was
working as sawyer and from daily
use of big saw callOus was
formed in the palm of his hand The
callous covered the cord of his third
finger. Gradually the callous hard
ened and pulled the finger down I'M
til Scott was unable to straighten it,
He intended to have an operation
performed to release the finger, but
as the years passed he became ac-
customed to the crippled member
and didn't bother
month ago he did go to a doc
tor. The physician said that the
cord would have to be cut loose and
that Scott would be laid up for sew
eral weeks in consequence. SO he
again decided to put it off.
Then an emergency call came in
from the mother who thought that
her son had been poisoned. Scott
answered the call and attempted to
climb over the fence. A nail caught
his trousers and in trying to liber-
ate himself he lost his balance In
falling to the ground he landed on
his right hand The fall bent his
finger back so far that the stiffened
cord was torn loose And now, after
80 years OF enforced idleness, the
once-stiffened finger is doing its duty
again.

HARBOR FRESHMEN
HAVE GREAT TIME

Say whatcha suppose is the matter
with our star reporter, he's been act
ing peculiar ever since he showed up
late Monday morning. He smiles as
never before but displays a very
knowing look, and a sort Of high sign,
calls all the fellers by their front name
too. We have doubts as to the proper
functioning of his mental facilities.
We've tried the third degree and
found out that he was in on a formal
high jinx given by the Harbor print
ing pressmen's local last Sunday eve
at Hoquiam. They sure had some
time, he says it was a hilarious jolli-
fication, such as he has seldom had the
good fortune to attend
The pressmen are a quiet, dry
bunch Of fellows, but it is said that
on the night of these annual high
jinx its Hot Dog and sweet potootae,
oh boy, you should see them do the
pressman glide and the ink knife dip;
the pressmen and their wives sure
push a clever hoof.
There was something doing every
minute, dancing during the early part
of the evening, followed by a splendid
program, each member taking part,
the pressmen "close register" quartet
gave a number of pleasing selections.
The refreshment committee were
given many enthusiastic votes of
thanks for the painstaking prepare
lions they had made to tickle the pal
ate as well as please the parched
epeglotes.
