BATTLING FOR HOAIEBREW
 IN THE COURTS

Down in the Maryland Free state Representative John Philip Hill, master mechanic in tho manufac- t1re of grape juice" and elder, re- gently staged homebrew enter tainment to 500 guests, He had oh- ! taned his formula of fermentation from tho U, $. department of agn- culture, and when tho time-or the 1 uicn---was ripe, sent out invitations to his friends and good time was had by all,
 The federal court, to which tho episode finally gyrated, had to deal with the meaning Of Section 2s of the Nolstcad act and concluded that the act was susceptible of a "rea- sonable explanation" in the light of what congress evidently had in mind when the section, in the form of an amendment to the original law, was passed. As the decision favored Representative Hill the latter gen tleman will conclude that the judge was a frst-rate mind reader.
 AS is the case with many of the yerbage masterpieces masqnerading under the name of statutes, even the judge was not at first certain as to exactly what the section meant. But like Solomon would have done in such an emergency, he read the debates of the congressman at the time the law was enacted and con- cluded he knew what they were driving at, even though they made mess of 1t in getting their ideas down on paper.
 The decision, which holds that homebrew cider and fruit juices in tended for home use only, must in- deed be intoxicating before they come under the purview of the Vol stead act, follows the previous view held by the department of justice but is at variance with the prohibi- ton forces of the government.
 Rep. Hill's liquor became 2'7 per cent proof, 1t seems; but the doughty champion of personal liberty in the home contended that he couldn't offset the law of nature if the stu1 continued to improve, or words tc that effect. He had merely followed the directions of the department oi justice and let nature do the rest, II seems he preferred to lay some ol the blame on this government de partment, which has been indulgtnt in quite spirited correspondence 1T

 Ruth, The richest farmer of the Canaan
 range, The chairman of the Jordon
 River Grange, Was Mr. Boaz, bachelor, a chap For whom each village maiden set
 her cap, Into this peaceful scene the widow
 came; Her name was Ruth; she was comedy dame And, looking OCT the prospects,
 made her pick, Of course twas Boaz, and to show
 how slick She worked her game, she put her.

 how thoroughly. Now Boaz had looked all the

 made him sore; So, when he saw Ruth working on
 till late, He said, T think at last I've found
 my fate; l need a husky woman round the
 place" And so he wooed her at red-hot
 pace. You see the scheme? She analysed
 her man, Then let him see she fitted in his
 plan But just how near she worked out
