HILL READY TO TEST
DRY LAW SATURDAY
Says Haynes Must Order His Ar
rest or Admit 2.75 Per Cent
| Cider Is Legal.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, September 17.-Pro-
hibition Commissioner Roy A Haynes
must either arrest Representative
John Philip Hill for making 2.75 per
cent cider or admit that 2.75 per cent
cider and beer are legal, Mr.. Hill stated
yesterday in a letter written to the
commissioner.
If Mr.. Haynes does not have him
arrested, he declared, he will force
him to testify before Congress in
support of the 2.75 per cent beer bills
introduced in the last Congress.
The contention of Mr.. Hill is that
the Eolstead act was not intended to
interfere with farmers who make
homemade wine and cider, since the
limit of legal alcoholic strength of
such beverages is not fixed.
He declares that if the farmer may
make 2.75 per cent cider the city man
should be allowed to mako 2.75 per
homemade wine last year, but
though temporary Injunction
against him was granted, the case
has not yet been called. 1t was in
order to press this question that Mr..
Hill this Fall converted his back
yard into a farm, where he has an
>apple orchard that furnished the raw
material for his cider.
Mr.. Hill calculated that today at
noon his cider will contain 2.75 per
cent of alcohol. He will then pas
Saturday night will invite in his
friends to drink his cider.
If Haynes does not interrupt this
party and arrest him, Mr.. Hill de-
clares, it will be an admission Of the
fact that 2.75 per cent cider is legal.

 "Ouch p Witch Grundy howled. q never touched you, you mean old thing!" And Witch Grundy gave Witch Wiggle's hair a hard yank.
 This made Witch Wiggle howl ever so loud and she gave Witch Grundy a thump with her fist. "Tll teach you to pull my hair and thump me while sleepw she yelled.
 And I'll teach you to let me sleep in peacew Witch Grundy cried in return as she banged Witch Wiggle's head against the head of the bed. Then the two Witches pulled each others hair and thumped each other upon the head until they grew tired. Then, when they thought each other had enough they went to bed again.
 But they had hardly got their heads upon the pillows until something cracked both Witches upon their heads and with wild howl, the two jumped from the bed and raced to the door for they knew we'll enough that neither of the other had struck the hard thump.
 There's something in this house!" Witch Wiggles howled, ''and I shan't stay and be banged upon the head any

 How should I know, silly?' Witch Grundy replied as she rubbed her eyes. You cant expect me to stay awake and listen all night long! I didn't hear a single thing! Please do not awaken me again or I will give you~ a hard thump." Witch Wiggle listened q moment longer then she laid down and was soon snoring as loud as Witch Grundy.

 Then Danny Meadow Mouse told Bobby Coon all about his adventures since he started out to see the Great World. Bobby listened gravely, but with a twinkle in his eyes. It tickled him to think of Danny Meadow Mouse starting out to see the Great World. "Im sorry I gave you such fright" said he when Danny ended his story, but I don't see how I could have helped it. You don't need to be afraid of me, so this scare is quite needless. Now you take my advice and go straight home.
 But I want to see more of the Great World" protested Danny who, now that his fright was over, suddenly felt very brace and bold again.
