the Soper opinion in the trial of Re-
preventative Hill that it did not so
apply.
Wayne b. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the anti-saloon league, in a
laeonic statement, said the Soper
opinion was "elearly right and
that it might be necessary to "cork
up the law a bit. -.
.'Wets," on the other hand, were
iubilant. They were of the opin-
ion any attempt to make the one
half on l per cent definition of in
toxicating alcoholic content apply to
cider and fruit juices manufactured
in the home or on the farm would
ALLEVIATE a large portion of the rural
vote which has always been strong
ly dry.
The Soper opinion was in conform
ity with a four year old policy of
the department of justice here. AS
sistant Attorney General Fr;arson
four years ago wrote an opinion that

in fact
The prohibition unit has refused
to accept this view of the depart
meut and as result there has been
much confusion.
The Hill case will certainly be
appealed to the supreme court, il
was felt here. If Hill is acquitted,
the government viii appeal and If
he is not, he, himself, will appeal.

El Ccntro triumphed over Holt
Vile to in Il stubbornly fought
! gridiron battle yesterday afternoon
Unable to cross HOltyille's s goal
line, Central won via the place kick
| route. Bob Allen twice booting the
oval between the uprights. FL Cen
tro won but HOltvifc covered her
self with glory for the fight put
up by her team.
lloltville showed surp ris n Q
strength. Their defense was spec
| tacular. Morgan, right tackle for
IIoltville, was tower of strength
in himself. Time and again he
nailed Central's backs for n loss,
nonplussing the hitherto unstopped
locals.
The defensive of both teams was
the feature of the game. Holtville
was not able to punetue Central S
line with any degree of consistency.
They gained only l26 yard to 295
for FL Centre and the play was
ker. in Holtvilla territory most
of the lime. but they did take ex-
treme delight in stopping Central S
rushes. Especially when their goal
was threatened, they seemed invnl-
nerable. Central attempted seven
place kicks when unable to make
the required yardage. Two were
good.
The Hohville dirt field was loose
and very dusty. which undoubtedly
slowed up the Fl Centre team con
siderablv. The first half ended
without a score. Central returned
to the charge determined and early
in the third period scored Il place
kick. Holtville, receiving, had
punted on their first down. Allen
took the ball on their 40 yard line
and returned it nine yards. Allen
and Peters made naif yard each,
then Peters ripped off four yards.
With five to 90 on the fourth down
Allen booted one over from the %
yard line.

The play then seesawed in Holt
vile i;crritory with other attempt
ed kicks going wide or falling short
till early in the final period Cen
trail took the ball on the 90 yard
line and started rush. Peters led
the attack, with gains of seven

alties and interest accumulated TO
such an extent that there are to-
day quite a number of such parcels
of land that are actually not worth
the amount of the deliquent assess
ments, interest and penalties.
Will Ask for Repeal
"That land is therefore simply
living idle-no assessments are be-
ing paid and none will be paid, and
the district simply owns this prop
erty and is not in a position to do
anything with it. With that provi-
sion in the section, the district could
take the title, fix price, and sell
it either to the original owner or
someone else at a price even less
than the assessment and the pen
alties amount to, clearing the record,
and starting all over again.
"In 1923 that section was amend
ed so as to prohibit the district
from selling at price less than
the assessment and penalties, so that
in this case the district believes it
is only good business to clear the
record and get the owner back to
farming his land and paying the as
sesments of the district. We are GO
ing to ask the conference to agree
to simply repeal the amendment of
1923 and put us back where we
were before that time, 4" said Child
ers.
THAT is the only amendment we
are asking for. There are one or
two other things of minor import
ance that will be suggested by other
districts and we may be interested
in, but they are not of public in
terest.
