1T PAYS TO HOLD ON

Those of our citizens who invested
their money in Liberty and victory
bonds back in 1916, IT and '1S, and
who have been wise enough to hold
on to them, even when it looked like
they stood to lose, now have cause for
jubiliatiOn. Every issue is now well
above par, and what is happening is
just what sensible financial men Of
the country predicted would happen.
When the bonds were first offered
they were bought through patriotic
motives, as an investment. When they
fell off from par wise investors snap
ped them up eagerly, some laying the
foundation for snug fortunes when
they actually advertised for the bonds
and bought them at from 15c to zoe
discount on the dollar. They knew
that Liberty bonds would make good
and now they have
Since the war there has been more
Or less trading in them. The fact
that they were on the market indicat-
ed that for some reason or another
their owners had to part with them,
and until a few weeks ago they part
ed with them at a loss. But we know
of some people around here who kept
them securely locked up, and remain
ed hopeful that sometime they would
be worth what they figured they
would be when they bought them
and a sensible investment. Today
they realize that they have used good
judgment, for Liberty bonds are
worth more than 100 cents on the
dollar.
The moral is-never bet against
that Uncle Sam is back Of
Hold to your U. S. bonds if you've
got any, and if you haven't try to get
hold of some. They are now, and they
always will be, the safest and best
in the world.

JAMAICA GINGER

In the enforcement of prohibition
law it sometimes happens that a
grave injustice is worked because OF
defects in the law An instance of
this occurred in a nearby city recent
| ly when Well-known grocer was or
dered to appear in court with a mum
Der OF alleged bootleggers to answer
to charge of selling Jamaica ginger
for beverage purposes.
Under the law the grocer is allow
ed to sell two punches of Jamaica
ginger to a patron, but if he sells
more than two ounces it is a viola
tion Of the prohibition law 1t would
be an easy matter to check all sales
and keep within the two-ounce limit
of the law if the grocer employed
only one salesman or served only one
customer at time, but with a crowd
ed storeroom and perhaps 10 or
salespeople it is very easy for the
party purchasing Jamaica ginger tC
buy one bottle from one clerk and by
mingling with the crowd purchase
another or even a third from other
clerks without the duplicate sales be-
ing discovered. Also the patron may
make one purchase and leave the
store and return and buy from a diff
ferent clerk as seems to have been
done in the case of the local grocer.
From this it is apparent that the
law as now framed does not prevent
the purchase of Jamaica ginger or
fruit extracts to be used for beverage
purposes nor does it afford any pro
lection to the legitimate dealer who
may be victimized by the "hootch
hound" who will resort to any method
possible to obtain alcohol
No one of sound sense believes for
one moment that the grocer who is
charged with selling Jamaica ginger
for beverage purposes is a bootleggel
Or that he knowingly permitted 8
technical violation of the prohibition
law in his place of business.
He is merely another victim of the
defects in the enforcement law and as
result has cleared his shelves Of all
Jamaica ginger and fruit extracts so
that to future patrons who order
fruit extracts will be told, eyes, we
have no Jamaica ginger today

THOUSANDS ARE BREAKING
THE LAW

1t seems almost silly to talk about
1t, but yet thousands upon thousands
OF free-born American .citizens-to
say nothing of aliens-dont seem to
realize that to make grape wine, or
dandellon Wine or elderberry wine or
any other kind OF wine in the home
is against the law, federal and state.
The Volstead law is clear as crystal
on the point. Article 5, Section 60, of
regulations promulgated by the
Treasury department, covering the
Volstead laws application, provides
that persons wishing to make 200
gallons or more of fruit juice for their
own family consumption, must obtain
Of the revenue office a permit for
such. This permit is free, but the
fruit juices must be notwithstanding
that is, contain not more than one
half OF one per cent Of alcohol. The
ruling holds that one may press
apples into cider or make juice of GER
tain fruits, but preserve them in such
a way that they will not "work."
lions, rhubarb, etc, may not be law
fully used at all, even to make juice
of.
Of course, millions violate the law,
but the law is plain. Up to 200 gal
Ions one may make of cider or other
fruit juices - excepting dandelion,
"and so forth" without a
permit. The "and so forth" after
rhubarb is very indefinite, but hits
in the head any legal effort to make
such juice, even though containing
less than /one-half per cent of alcohol
The making of any fruit Juice
which works" so as to produce more
than a half of one per cent Of alcohol
is just as much violation of the law
as though one operated a still in his
home.

When Society
Is the Tyrant
By John Stuart Mill

By John Stuart Mill
When society is itself the tyrant--
society collectively, over the separate
individuals who compose tits means
Of tyrannizing are not restricted to
the acts which it may do by the hands
of its political functionaries.
Society can and does execute its
own mandates; and even if it issues
wrong mandates instead of right, or
any mandates at all in things with
which it ought not to meddle, it prac-
tees a social tyranny more formid-
able than many kinds of political op-
preston, since, though not usually
upheld by such extreme penalties, it
leaves fewer means of escape, pene-
trating much more deeply into the de
tails of life and enslaving the soul it.
self.
Protection, therefore, against the
tyranny Of the magistrate is not
enough; there needs protection also
against the tyranny Of prevailing
opinion and feelings; against the
tendency Of society to impose, by
other means than civil penalties, its
own ideas and practices as rules of
conduct on those. who dissent from
them; to fetter the development, and,
if possible, prevent the formation, OF
any individuality not in harmony with
its ways, and compel all characters to
fashion themselves upon the model
of its own.
There is limit to the legitimate
of collective opinion with
individual independence; and to find
that limit, and maintain it against
encroachment, is as indispensable to a
good condition of human affairs as
protection against political despotism.
