Hungry Field Nice
Cali OrcI,ardists of
Virginia to Arms
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, September 90
Virginia orchardists are warned to
make preparations to fight hungry
held mice, which are liable to damage
the trees during the Autumn and
Winter, in a report of the United
states Department of Agriculture,
made public here today.
september and October are the
months when the far-sighted orchard
list makes preparations to guard
against possible injury to his trees
by hungry field mice, which gnaw
the trunks and roots" said the bulle-
tin. Methods of preventing injury
vary according to the species of
mouse and the cultural practices fol-
lowed, In much of the United States,
especially the Eastern portion, pine
mice are present. and their injury Is
usually inflicted below the surface of
the ground
The bulletin concludes that preven-
tive methods cost little in comparison
with the protection afforded, and de-
clareS that IAN ounce of protection
in this respect is worth a pound OF
cure" as in other pest campaigns.

Fake Beer Floods
Market Around Here
Near Beer is Being Sold as Cen
uine Stuff According to
Dry Agents.

It's dim little period that is placed
in the 1912" found on the labels of
bottles supposed to contain real beer,
say federal prohibition agents at Mil
waukee, but it does the trick never
theless. Persons who pay as high as
30 cents FOR shell glass of the fake
real beer turned out by the Illinois
Dreweries, are led to believe that the
figures represent the alcoholic con-
sent of the beer, two and 32 humid
rodths per cent, when the real alcoho-
lie content is one-half of one per cent.
Hundreds of saloon men in the mid
die and northern part of the state are
buying the Illinois fake beer by the
hundreds and thousands of barrels, it
is said, and they are passing on the
cost to the retail trade. In all in
stances they are passing the flake"
beer as real when they know that-it is
nothing more than the legalized near
beer. In that way they are getting
thousands of dollars out of the IN
suspccting.
The Wisconsin breweries are not
ioing that kind of business and all are
complying with the law, it is said.
There is suspected beer in this city
as well, and it is said that even drinks
Of the so-called needed" beer can be
obtained. The latter beer is near beer
which has been treated with ''dope''
so as to give it the proper "kick."

ing still in operation on his farm
following raid made by Sheriff Fred
Pabst and three Deputies, and who was

He was granted a stay until tomorrow
to allow him time to secure the money
to pay the fine and costs, the total
being more than $500.
The sentence carried with it an OPP
tion OF forty days in the county jail
and there is much speculation in court
circles as to whether Voss will elect
to pay the fine or lay it out in Jail
The understanding with the court
when the stay WIS granted was that
the hne Woald be paid
Voss was also allowed to take back
the 1000 pounds of sugar taken from

been bought to be used in the illegal
