SHERIFF-ELECT GUEST AT BANQUET IS GIVEN A BADGE BY DEPUTIES

Publications and praise coupled with forecasts for an excellent ad ministration marked the banquet for Sheriff elect Thomas J. Shirley, given by his deputies at the Hillman hotel Saturday night.
 During the course of the dinner MT. Shirley speaking in response to the presentation of gold badge by Jim Esdale on behalf of the deputies, out lined the policies of his office dur ing the coming four years. His motto is Do right because it is right" he said. He promised that during his term of office he and his deputies would work together for the good of the people who have honored them.
 During the meeting a committee composed of Judge William E. Fort, Judge Hugo Black and the outgoing sheriff, Chris Hartsfield, was ap- pointed to draft bill providing for the care of officers who are injured in line of duty and furnishing relief for the families of officers killed in the service. This committee was ap- pointed at the suggestion of Judge Black who acted as toastmaster in the absence of Senator Walter $. Brewer. The bill will be presented to the legislature which convenes Tues day. It is recommended. it was ex- plained, because inadequate salaries of the officers do not permit them to save anything.
 Speakers of the evening included Judge Fort, Palmer H. Bell, George O'Bear, MT. Esdale. Henry s. Hill, Mir Hartsfield and others. Judge Charles Mandy who was unable to- attend, sent best wishes.
 The banquet was arranged by
 
 D. Jones. H. E. Badger was the chairman of the entertainment com mittee. It is planned to have getto- gether meetings between the sheriff, the solicitors office and citizens quarterly during Mir Shirley's tenure of office.
 Outgoing Sheriff Hartsfield shared honors with Chief Shirley at the meeting. His career and the career of Mir. Shirley was held up to the new deputies as examples of reliable and efficient officers

BIC GRAPE CROPS. ARE PRODUCED BY
 AWE R|CAN STATES
Vineyards of United States Have Bumper Year-Sea- son Is Profitable for
 Growers

BUFFALO. Jan. 6-Vineyard Of the United States produced bum per crop of grapes in 1922. Total
 carlot shipments from all sections up to and including November IT were
 51,254 cars, an increase compared with 1921 of 14,O5S cars, or about S6h per cent, according to sum mary issued by the state department of farms and markets.
 In the 51,ooo-odd cars were total of 1925, 5,oSo,o0o pounds of grapes, which would be sufficient to supply approximately 10 pounds of grapes to
 every individual in the United States.
 They were worth, at an average price of s7o a ton, sS5,s5o,o0o.
 Two causes contributed to make
 the season a profitable one for east ern grape growers. A car shortage
 in the west cut California's normal shipments about 35 per cent and there was an increased demand for private consumption and grape juice manufacturers In the east. It also was a year of unprecedented yields in eastern vineyards.
 Enormous Gains
 New York, Pennsylvania and Mich igan, the three principal grape states, made enormous gains in carlot ship ments, and there also was heavy movement by truck because of the prevailing car shortage in the cast as well as in the west. Michigan fig ures show gain in shipments of 371 per cent; Pennsylvania, 2SS per cent, and New York POI per cent. The crop of those three states alone brought approximately $10,000, 900. Truck shipments in the three states, which are not included in the depart ments figures, are estimated at 20 900 tons, worth another million and one-half dollars.
 Statistics on destinations of the Michigan New York Pennsylvania crops show that Pittsburg took the largest number of cars for the sea son, with total of 1,726. Philadel- phia was second with 1,476 cars. Other large distributing points for the crop were: Chicago 1,141 cars; Boston, 1,o32 cars; Cleveland, SSS cars, and New York city, 5S2 cars. The city farthest from the productive centers to market grapes in volume was: St. Louis, with 157 cars of Mich igan fruit, five from Pennsylvania, and 26 cars from New York state. Milwaukee took 1S6 cars from Mich igan, f2 from Pennsylvania and 2l. from New York.
 The price paid by grape juice fac tories this year averaged $65 ton, compared with s130 in 1920 and s96 in 1919. No grapes were pressed in 1921 because of the high tax and the poor condition of the crop, due to early frosts. The lowest price on record at grape juice factories was in 1897, when s1o ton was the aver age.

IN A MINDANNO JUNGLE

From The Vengeance of Mandaling
 an, by Hazel Taylor, in Asia Maga
 zine.
 Every few paces I cut branch with my bolo and bent it down, or sliced bit of bark from tree, that r might more easily retrace my steps; for even an experienced woodsman could easily lose himself in a Mindanao forest. My collecting was very successful. l caught or tree-cbole handsome blue winged lizard, and in the root mass of a huge tree-fern I found two speei- mems of a curious blind snake that | felt sure was new to science. In a moment I had forgotten the cares of the school, forgotten that 1 was a doomed man. Within the next hour I found many more specimens strange frogs and lizards and large viper, which had stretched himself on a branch over yellow majesty was soon inside my heavy canvas collecting bag. Later, breathless two minute, zigzag chase yielded for my cyanide-bottle a wonderful black -and-yellow papilio. Dashing coquette, she had lured me away from my trail, where my bolo remained in the last blazing, and now I must. find it. But just as l was about to carry out this inten- tion. I spied a flash of color high in a slender tree, where a huge red flower swayed from branch Tt is the red orchid" I cried, that huge red orchid the Manobos have described to mel" I had doubted its existence!
 Forgetful of the trail. I laborious- ly walked the tree only to have the supposed orchid become the tip of a climbing pandan, and the huge red flower turn into a group of the red leaves that announce the fruiting- season of the plant. With no little disappointment, I came down. The descent, more difficult than the as- cent, left me breathless and dizzy. l seemed to have lost my sense of direction In this forest where the tree-tops were laced to the under growth with hanging vines and creepers there were no landmarks. I might cross my trail again and again, unknowingly, unless l chanced on one of my blazings. Claudes had covered the sky and ogscured the sun, a glimpse of which would have given me my bearings. l marked, with bits of my handkerchief, the tree I had just climbed and set out to find the trail.

FIND TRACES OF OIL 20 MILES FROM MANILA

MANILA, P. l., Jan. 6.-Discov- cry of oil seepages along the bed of the Montalban river. about 30 miles east of Manila. has led to the filing of a number of applications for eX ploratory leases with the bureau of lards. The discovery was made by Dr. Roy E. Dickerson, representine California Petroleum company.
 The bureau of lands is expected to begin soon the work of making pre- lminary surveys which are necessary before the applications for lease can be approved. The application made by the California company covers nearly one-half of the province of Rizal. These applications, if ap- proved, will allow the applicants to make geological surveys within the areas applied for but will not involve any property rights.

W. c. T. U.

Governor Harrington of the Terri
toy of Hawaii in a message reported
to have been given some time ago to
the American Legion convention,
said: Hawaii has had an experience
with this same light wine and beer
movement. We were told that light
wine and beer were noninjurious bev-
erages and if the people were al
lowed to get this light liquor they
would avoid the poisonous stuff sold
in the country and also the illicit sale
of hard liquor would be reduced.
The desired legislation was passed.
These dispensaries OF so-called nom
injurious liquors did not fulfill one
single promise of those who were re-
sponsible for the trial. Drunken
ness increased and the light wine and
beer panacea, instead OF being the So
luton of the problem and the pro-
moter of real temperance, very ra-
pidly became universally recognize
ed nuisance. 1t carried with it all
the difficulties of high license and
enjoyed the unsavory reputation of
being the center of vice and often
times community disorder"
Having observed the experience
OF Hawaii IN this matter. it seems to
me this should prove a splendid eI-
ample and prevent falling into line
with the so-called panacea which has
proved that as cure it is worse than
the disease
