moral failure, and that it is a danger
Gus breeder of discomfort and of con-
tempt of all law.
Something of the economic effect of
the Volstead law may be seen by con-
sidering the fact that in 1918, accord
ing to government statistics, S110,-
100000 worth of farm products were
consumed by breweries, and that the
transportation of these products to
the manufacturer and thence to the
consumer necessitated the use of 1885,
666 railroad cars. In addition to this,
breweries in operation in 1918 con-
sumed $4,000 carloads of coal. 1t
must be obvious that the total eco
nomic effect of the destruction of this
industry is tremendous.
The American Federation of Labor
always has been the advocate of law
and order and always has endeavored
to create conditions which would make
possible the highest type of citizen
ship.
We do not protest against the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition which now is a part of the
fundamental law of the land. We do
not protest against the principle es-
tablished by the Eighteenth Amend
ment 1t is our contention that the
Eighteenth Amendment under a rea-
sonable and proper legislative inter-
probation would be beneficial to our
country and would have the support
of the great majority of our people.

fed so as to promote the manufacture
and sale of beer and light wines.
Before this decision was reached
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor had caused to be
made an exhaustive investigation of
the effects of the Volstead Act 1t was
shown by this investigation that there
has been:
1. A general disregard of the law
among all classes of people including
those who made the law.
2. Creation of thousands of moon
sinners among both country and city
dwellers.
3. The creation Of an army of boot
leggers.
a. An amazing increase in the
traffic in poisons and deadly concoc-
tions and drugs.
5. An increased rate of insanity,
blindness and crime among the users
of these concoctions and drugs.
6. Increase in unemployment due
to loss Of employment by workers in
fortyfve industries directly or in
directly connected with the manu-
facture of liquors.
7. Increase in taxes to city, state
and national governments amounting
to approximately one thousand mil
lion dollars per year.
Having in mind these results of the
extreme Interpretation of the prohibi-
tion amendment contained in the Vol
stead Act, as well as the enormous
expense of the attempt to enforce that
unenforceable legislation, it is our

ing to Newark to live because of the
lack of high school facilities.
6.-The greatest argument for a
new high school is, that under present
conditions very little industrial work
can be taught and no systematic
physical training. A new high school
will provide ample room and equip
ment for the great industrial proup
of our city as we'll as those entering
college or a business career, and be-
sides will give every bo and girl a
chance to develop strong body.
THE present high school build
ing can be used without change for a
junior high school for the children
living within reach of it. This will
relieve the grade schools for several
years.
The Board of Education proposes to
erect high school centrally located
and built so that additions can be
made to it in years to come. Plans
provide for the following:
(a) An auditorium with capacity
of 1900 to 1000 to be used by the pub
lie as well as schools.
w large gymnasium Iof phys
ical training for high school pupils
and grade pupils and the~public, par
ticularly the industrial leagues of the
city when the schools are not using lC.
(c) Shops for industrial work in
both wood and iron that will help to
prepare boys and girls for the in
dustries of Newark.
CD Commercial Department with
rooms for bookkeeping, shorthand,
typewriting and allied subjects.
(e) Sufficient rooms for the aca-
demic work of pupils preparing for
college.
(f) Household arts for girls and
lunch room facilities.
(g) Rooms for art and music
If you are not familiar with the
situation kindly give the matter your
immediate attention. Remember when
you vote that the schools are for the
children who are the community
greatest asset.

4 ACRES CHERRIES
YIELD $1,000 TO
POLK GROWER

Dallas, Or, Aug. 12-Frank v.
Brown has a farm which lies part
ly within the city limits of Dallas,
and during the season just closed
he picked 10 tons of cherries from
four acres Of the Montmorency type
of trees from which he realized ST.
200.
From one-half an acre of seven
year-old trees he procured two and
one-half tons of cherries. From four
to six years is the age of the trees
on the remainder Of the four acres.
He received for the cherries at
the orchard six cents a pound.
A strong believer in the culture
of sour cherries of the Montmor-
ency type is Mr.. Brown. He claims
this variety is more adaptable to
the climatic condition and soil of
this state. But four acres produc-
ed this year out of 25 acres that
he planted. Mr.. Brown further
claims that the sour cherry offers
many advantages over the other
varities inasmuch as they are al
ways in strong demand and the
growing of them Is not hazardous.
He disposed of his fruit this year
to a cannery located in Corvallis.
At that place they were packed
in two and three-pound containers
and were shipped to the east for
fancy trade, which is the home of
of ~the sour cherry. The Mont
morency cherry that is raised in
this state is practically twice the
size of the eastern cherry
and buyers allege that they are of
far superior quality.
According to Mr.. Brown the priu
cipal market for the sour cherry Is
as pie fruit and for the prepare
tion of Marischino cherries and ex
tensive planting is justified by the
demand from the buyers. For the
first time it is now easy to get the
best of stock for planting from the
nurseries in the state. He most
strongly recommends the planting
of trees in the Mazzard root, and
discourages the use of the Mahalch
root, which is widely used in tho
east. This he claims is unsuited to
Oregon conditions.
