V0LSTEAD DENIES RULE
AGAINST HOMEMADE
FRUIT JUICES

Recently a superior court jury
rendered a decision that man has
the right to make cider from his
apples and let it ferment Also
that he can make wine from his
grapes
Not that it affects the actual
practice at ALL For people who
have apples and grapes have been
using them for this purpose when
then chose, regardless of the Vol
stead Act.
But now Mr.. Volstead diselaims
that he ever intended that people
should be deprived of the right
to make drinks from their fruits.
He is quoted in the Philadelphia
Bulletin, (copy of which is printed
in another column,) as saying
IL do not think that it was the
intention of the drafters of the
Volstead act to limit home made
fruit juices to the stand Of one.
half of one per cent of alcohol"
He then goes on to say that the
object of the law was to stop the
liquor traffic. Not that the prohibit
ton law has stopped it, but it is
gratifying to learn that Mr.. Vol
stead has at least grain of sense
left. Perhaps he has been brought
to his senses since the people of his
own state refused to send him back
to the u S. Senate again. We don't
blame them!

THE voLsTEAD PURPOSE

Andrew j. Volstead, sponsor for
he Federal Prohibition law, inter
viewed concerning the Hill cider and
wine case, does not consider the
principles of the Volstead law af-
sected in any way by this enter
aiming incident.
81 do not think" he is quoted as
saying, "that it was the intention
Of the drafters of the Volstead act,
to limit homemade fruit juices
10 the standard of one-half Of one
per cent. of alcohol.
at was the purpose Of the com
mittee to abolish commercialized
liquor traffic. We did not feel that
many families would abuse the priv
ilege of making and using fruit
juices in the home.
1t would be well if the prohibit
ton enforcement agencies were to
stick to this authoritative statement
Of the original purposes OF the
Volstead act. Home brew, whether
of wines or malt, for home consump-
ton is not of serious consequence,
and it is a wasted effort to attempt
to determine limit Of alcoholic
content, whether it be half Of one
per cent. or five. The prohibition
forces have more vital matters to
engage their attention.--Phila. Bull
letin.

A WOMAN VETERAN OF
THE CIVIL WAR


OF all the strange tales of the
Civil War, probably the strangest
has been told by little old woman
in the poorhouse near Worcester,
Massachusetts,, who seeks a pension
as war veteran. She is Mrs. Peter
johnson, once Mary Murphy, and her
story is that she ran away from her
adopted parents to join her foster
brother, Thomas Hill, when he en-
listed in the Union Army. She was
struggled into camp. she says,
managed to conceal her sex and en-
listed as Saul Hill in Company B,
Fifty Third Massachusetts, Regi-
ment. Two years of war service, she
says, was followed by an enlist
ment in the United States Navy at
Key West. She served on shipboard
for five years, and says her release
was obtained finally through the rev.
citation of her real identity. Now she
claims war veterans right to pen
sion.
Many women concealed their sex
to serve beside loved ones in the
Civil War and efforts of the same
2ort were uncovered during the
Spanish-American War, and even
the World War, when the check
ing of recruits was far more rigid.
Perhaps it will be possible to prove
Mrs. Johnsons claims from records
of the War Department. If this is
possible, she is most certainly en-
titled to reap the long-deferred re-
ward Of her service.--Phila. In
quirer.

WHAT DOES THANKS
GIVING MEAN To YOU?

In the old days Thanksgiving mean
the reunion Of separated families
a reverent gratefulness for life and
health and home and comfort.
Today it means "day off," big
business for the food merchants,
and Indigestion for most people.
The original Thanksgiving was
simply day set aside as demon
stration for gratefulness that exist
ed the whole year round.
Today it means merely day
of gluttony, dyspepsia, belly ache
and sleepless nights for lot Of
people. The doctors usually reap .
benefit following Thanksgiving.
II you cant be thankful every
day of your life for the daily bene-
fits you enjoy, you won't be able to
stir up much enthusiasm Thanks
giving day beyond the animal greed
for a full stomach.
And If you think you haven't any
thing TO be thankful for, Just look
around you. There are thousands
who are worse off than you are, no
matter what your position in life
may be.

1.-TWO POLITICAL PARA
SITES AND A FORD"

Everyone is complaining that the
coal we get at present does not
create the heat they used to get
from the coal of other years. My
own experience corroborates this.
However, Nelson Rittenhouse is
the only one | have heard express
it forcibly enough to satisfy my own
feelings on the matter. He points
out that the pure food law pro-
hibits the adulteration of milk. If
an inspector finds that a dairyman
has watered his stock he is given q
good burning.
He also points out that govern
ment supervision" has invaded every
business but that of the coal indus
try. He said that when he was in
the dry goods business at took two
political parasites and Ford to
keep my yard stick thirty-six inches
long"
But when it comes to demanding
a standard of heat units in coal,
the government is strangely silent.
Local coal dealers can't help it. They
have to take what they ship them
from the mines.
Here is one Of the most vital
commodities known to household
necessities. But no standard is set
for heat units in what we buy. A
dealer can be checked up if he
doesn't deliver the proper weight,
but that weight may include a mis-
cellaneous assortment of slate, trap
rock and dirt, and still he gets by
the law.
We hate to see the increase of
government supervision" but while
they are meddling around they had
better turn their attention to a
problem that really amounts to
something.

NEW HOPE
SCHOOL NOTES
From November Issue of
"CoryeII's Ferry Newsy-News"
NEW HOPE HIGH SCHOOL
IS GETTING TO BE
A HIGH SCHOOL

One of the High School girls was
heard to remark lately, that some
people did not know this is a
four year High School. Our High
School is classed as a first class
four year High School and it is
growing better every year and it
is helped along very much by the
loyal support of parents and people
of the town. There are plenty of
High Schools that have only a
three year course and do not have
some of the things that the New
Hope High School has. There are
hundreds of High Schools that do
not have a school paper but the
New Hope High School is having a
paper this year.
1t is very true that a great num-
Der of parents and townspeople
are not sufficiently interested in
their High School The school ranks
second to the church as being a
great institution in the community.
You send your children there to be
educated, therefore you should be
more interested. The home and the
school should be brought closer
together. 1t is evident that the
school cannot assume full respon-
sibility for the success of the pu-
pills in their work. The home must
cooperate. If the parents visit
the schools they can better learn
what is their share of responsible
ity in the education of their child
rem. The effectiveness of the school
in community depends largely upon
the interest that the people take in
it.
Reasons parents should visit the
schools:
1. To keep in touch with the
work of their children.
2. To encourage the teachers.
8. To get first hand information
about the work of the school.
4. To show their willingness to
cooperate with the administration
of the school.
5. To learn at first hand the con-
ditions under which their children
spend five hours a day.
6. To know the conditions and
needs of the school so that they
may intelligently defend the repu-
tation of the school and assist in
keeping the schools from being
commercialized and propagandized.
z. To aid in developing the real
school spirit in the community.

ELECTION WASTES

Our county election figures show
that if all of the qualified voters
had gone to the polls November 4th
the cost per vote would have been
cut almost in half.
Stacker voters may, therefore, be
justly charged with waste-just as
we have it in our education affairs
through the failure of all those
eligible as students to attend school
for the maximum term.
The situation in both instances
is, as DIR. Finegan said a few years
ago, comparable to providing a great
banquet at enormous cost for a
great number of persons and having
thousands fail to partake of it,

PARIS WANTS LEGION
CONVENTION IN

French people love The American
Legion; if that organization holds
its 1923 convention in Paris, as pro-

a royal welcome" declared Prime
Minister Herriot to officials of Paris
Post of the Legion. Paris Post has
taken high and respected place in
the community and will soon erect
an imposing Legion memorial to
be added to the other architectural
beauties of Paris.
If the convention is held there it
will give veterans an opportunity Of
visiting the battle fields over which
they fought in 1917 and 1918. Spec
ial steamship rates would be made,
making it cost no more than going
to San Francisco.

MOtOrbuses For
BuenOS Aires

Buenos Aires, Feb. l5.-Such a
thing as notorious in Buenos Aires
was hardly known eight months
ago. Then an enterprising concern
built fleet Of II small passenger
buses on an American truck chassis
and began operating railroad sta
lions. The charge was 20 centavos
passenger, or twice the street car
fare. But they got there quicker
than the street cars, and cheaper
than the taXis.
Today Buenos Aires streets are
alive with big American, German and
French motorbuses, on regular routes
about the city and to the suburbs.
They are cutting heavily into street
car traffic, and competing also with
the taxis. More buses are being i'm.
ported, for the idea has taken hold
in interior cities, and there is lively
competition among the representa-
, tives of various motorcar manu-
, facturies in the United States anC
Europe to get contracts.
