 tstate vs. McMahon, 53 Conn. 4o7,
 413).
 .'The history of our law in regard to the sale of spirituous and intoxi- eating liquor, both the legislative en- actments and the judicial decisions, clearly evidences the fact that the sale of such liquors was the matter in which both the legislature and the courts were concerned; at no time and in no place has the purchase of liquor been expressly forbidden. It
 has always been the seller and not the buyer who is being dealt with; it was the seller who was restricted by statute and made the subject of pen itlty for violation of law. The pur- chaser has not heretofore been con- sidered or rendered liable to punish ment for the purchase of liquor.
 ''The particular statutt in question is the outgrowth of ChaIAer CCLxXI of the Public Acts of 1895, which reads as follows: Any minor, who, for the purpose of procuring from shy licensed person any spirituous or intoxicating liquor, shall falsely state and represent to such licensed person that he is not minor, and shall upon such statement procure from such licensed person any spirituous or in- toxicating liquor, shall be- fined not more than fifty dollars. or be i'm prisoned not less than ten nor more than sixty days, or both.' The read, ing of this section is enough to aseer- tain the purpose for which it was passed. viz: To stop minors from purchasing liquors on false represen- tation as to age. It had long been the law that sale of liquor to minors was a crime, that law had to do, as had all law upon this subject up to that time, with the seller. The sale of liquor was a legitimate business. the license for its sale by the county commissioners was an article of no little value. The conviction of license for violation of the liquor law the rights of the holder thereof because if convicted twice he lost his license and because of this the legislature said to the minor, to whom the sale of liquor was by law

 Chapter 217. Public Acts of 1907. supplemented the law Of 1895 by
 making minors and females who loitered on premises where spirituous and intoxicating liquors were kept for sale subject to arrest and punish ment.
 Chapter 30. Public Acts of 1911, repealed the 1895 and 1907 laws men, tioned above and gave us the present laws which has been hereinbefore quoted. At the time of tno passage of this law Sections 269S. 269ls k2695 of the Revision of 1902 defined clearly the class of persons to whom this law was applicable-minors and so-called posted persons.
 'ChSpter 291 of the Public Acts of 1921 repealed the statutes defining this class and left Section 2S13 stand ing. What then is the construction to be placed upon this section? It must be presumed that it was intend ed to serve some purpose or it would have been included in the repeating section of Chapter 291.
 "The answer to this question I am not called upon to give for two judges of the Superior Court have already said-one by issuing a bench warrant based upon this statute and the other by imposing a penalty after plea of guilty to the charge contained in that bench warrant in substance that all persons are forbidden by law to liquors are sold to be drunk upon the premises, and that any persons who enter such premises are liable under Section 2S13. It is true that this court is not absolutely bound by this interpre tation of this section.
 Tt is likewise true, however, that the accused are not bound by my de- cision, for they have right of ap- peal from my decision and if need be can have the supreme court pass up- on the question. In view of the great change in the law in regard to this particular subject wrought by federal and state legislation in recent years 1t would seem not only desirable but advisable that this statute be con- strued by our court of last resort in order that, if there be any doubt as To its proper construction, its true in- depreciation may be known.
 Tt is better that unless and until a court of higher Jurisdiction than this court places a different construc- ton upon this statute. the decisions of the superior court be followed.
 "The motion to discharge is ienied.'

JUDGE MAKES RULING
Minnesota Justice Rules Upper Air is a Natural Heritage Common
 to All People.

St. Paul. Jan. 2e.-The old com mon-law maxim. "whose the soil is. his if is from the heavens 10 the depths Of the earth" was overruled in decision by Judge John C.. Michael, Of the district court Of Min nesota, in a suit for damages brought by q local property owner after an airplare made a forced landing on his property. The plaintiff sought also to enioin the defendant from flying over his property regardless of the altitude Of such flights.
 "The upper air is natural heritage common to all Of the people and it's reasonable use ought not to be ham pered by an ancient artificial maxim of law" the judge declared.
 The decision is regarded as Of great importance, according 10 l.. K. Bell. secretary of the Aeronautical Cham ber of Commerce. which represents scme 1.200 commercial aircraft opera tors in the United states. lt may be interpreted as q specific declaration or the freedom Of the air whereby air craft may fy over property without being guilty Of trespass. he said.
 ''Gondemnation Of air lanes is not feasible bcuAuse aircraft can not ad- here strictly 10 a defined course" Judge Michael's decision said. ''The air. so Tar as it has any direct rela- ton 10 the comfort and enjoyment Of the lasd. is appurtenant to the land. but 10 contend that it Is part of the realty. as affecting the right of air navigation. is only legal fiction, devoid Of substantial merit
 Judge Michael said that while there was some danger to persons and prop erty from air craft. accidents were in- frequent and this hazard is infinite ly less than encountered in every walk of life from various other causes
 While granting the plaintiff dam ages the judge. in refusing the injunc- ton said that modern progress and great public interest should not be hlocked by unnecessary legal refine ments.

Going Out. of Business

There is an old Latin adage which says "Caveat Emptor" Translated it means, "Let the buyer beware
 It put the burden of seeing that got his moneys worth the purchaser. It warned him to enter shop with his eyes wide open to have faith in to keep his fingers crossed and then trust to Providence that he didn't lose his eye teeth in the bargain.
 Advertising has put "Caveat Emptor" out of busi- ness.
 Today, merchants and manufacturers can't afford to risk the disappointment and disapprova of dissatis fled customer It is too easy for the customer to pick up paper and find plenty of other places where real dollar value is given and where they practice the modern slo gan We strive to please"
 The good will of the buying public is the goal of the modern seller. Without it, his business cannot succeed
 Every time he advertises he puts his good name in your hands His products must make good They must be as advertised
 That's why it pays to read the advertisements and to buy advertised goods.

LARGE CROWD HEARD
BISHOP AINSWORTH
P FAC H ID AT METHODIST
CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT.
TOUCHES IMPLICATION.

A crowd estimated at around 800
people and representing several coun-
ties were present at the Methodist
church Sunday night to hear Bishop
! w. N. Ainsworth preach.
Bishop Ainsworth, who is consider
ed one of the most brilliant of the
Methodist ministers, delivered a very
forceful and helpful sermon which was
| listened to with rapt attention by the
assembled throng. The bishop besides
being we'll versed on the Bible, pos
sesses a pleasing voice which adds
greatly to his sermons.
| After the sermon the bishop talked
| for a few moments on the unihcatioin
plan of the Northern and Southern
Methodist churches. He is heartily OPP
posed to the unihcation of the church
eS under the present plan, and num-
erous articles setting forth his rea-
sons have been written by him against
the issue. He presented some OF the
outstanding issue in clear and concise
manner, and many who may have
heretofore misunderstood the plan
lhad all doubts dfspelled. He expressed
himself as believing that the issue
would not carry.
Services at the Baptist church were
! called off in order to allow the mem
bers of that denomination to hear
Bishop Aipsworth.

pears the first of a series of advertise
ments for the Curry Company, Of
Shellman. They are listing wonderful

though being located in town not so
large, is known as one of the most
complete stores of its line in south
west Georgia. They carry full line

company is giving to each customer a
trade coupon with each dollar pur-
chase and on Christmas eve night a
new Ford touring car will be given
