Brewer Lobbyists Tell
 How To Pay Bonus Bill

Washinton, March 23-Prohibition, like politics. is producing strange bed- fellows The brewers have joined in the war on home brewing They say the government is losing revenue Few will doubt that. But get inside the big tent and listen to the brew in their ranks are in Washington. Congress knows it, and as the de- mands increase for some modification of the Volstead law, Congress is wei ghing some of the brewers claims.
 While Congress is pulling it's col lective hair, trying to wiggle in and around the bonus problem, the brew CTS step right up and point the way out of the dilemma. The brewers have bonibarded Congress with a neat di- gest of the tax problem and how to solve it. The brewers say the way out is to increase the alcoholic contents of PA per cent and thereby enrich the United Staes Treasury by $500,o00,o0o a year.
 Is it Logical?
 Is it logical or reasonable? Soft drinks as a revenue producer are pra- cticalIy a negligible source, say the brewers. Brewers quote reams of copy based upon expert medical ad- vice 10 show that consumption of soft drinks is far more deleterious on the human stomach than would be cereal beverages of PA per cent.
 Could any of your most jealous prohibition enforcerS in the height of genuine enthusiasm. consider more grave the dangers of the present en- forcement situation than our brewery friends? Not chance listen to this latest from the brewers. It is a direct warning to Congress:
 ''It is believed that an increased alcoholic content in cereal beverages, not reaching the intoxicating point would accomplish at one stroke the grca test single aid to the Giovernna c nj in, Q nf Stif1tinn91 hibition.

 Congress further was informed by able counsel for the brewery inter ests that by supplanting a more wholesome and palatabfe cereal bev-

craze, like beer of higher alcoholic content, but nevertheless non-intoxi- eating, q great deal of the country's industrial unrest would disappear. They plead that labor would be more contented and even more efficient citing the fact that laborers, instead for hard liquor of questionable ingre- d1ents, would become habituated to the cereal drinks, purchased at nom lnal cost. It would be help in i'm their pocketbOoks, at least that part of the people inclined to indulge in stimulating drinks they argued. What the brewers lay most stress upon is the fact that the government needs more revenue. Their appeal comes at time when Congress is sorely perplexed over finding new methods of furnishing revenue with out further adding to the tax burdens of any particular class.

 Prior to prohibition heavy beers and ales were produced at the rate of 60,000,0 900 barrels a year. The tax was $1 a barrel. A few other speciaI taxes were added, which increased the

BURGLAR ALARM INSTALLED

Owing to the many bank burglaries
which are occurring all over this and
other states, the banks are beginning
to use extraordinary precautions to
protect themselves against the yegg-
men. The Peoples National Bank in
stalled the latest and most improved
type of burglar alarm system on the
market. The system is very complete.
The walls, ceiling and floor of the vault
are lined with copper wiring and at no
point can an entrance be made, being
so constructed and installed that any
attempt to enter the vault from any
direction will Immediately sound the
gong or alarm which is contained in the
large outside housing. This gong hous-
ing is also so constructed that any tamp-
ering with it, such as turning bolt, or
| attemting to cut the cable leading to it.
will sound the alarm.
The vault door, in addition to the con-
| nections with the bolts thru the combi-
nations, has what is called the Thermo-
Electric attachment, which will sound
if the door is heated to certain tenn
perature. This will prevent any
attempt to burn thru the vault door.
The entire system is controlled by an
electric timer located in the vault.
This is set on definite hours for open
ing and closing, and if the dial on the
vault door is turned fraction either
way after ID certain closing hour, it will
result in the sounding of the gong.
The o. B. McClintock Co. of Mime.
apolis, Mimi, manufacturers of this
up-to-date burglar alarm system not
only guarantee the system to do its
duty at all times, but also offer a stand
ing reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of any party attacking
any bank using this system.
Persons interested are invited to call
and inspect the new alarm system.
