THE BOLsHIVIsTs OF THEIR DAY

Great confscations of Tory es- ta+es were carried out by the state Legislatures generally in the height Of the war. New Hampshire con- fscated twenty-eight estates, includ- irg the large property of it's govern or. Sir John Wentworth In Mass acEassetts a sweeping act confscat- ed at one blow all the property O. all who had fought against the Unit ed States or had even retired into places under British authority with out permission from the American government. Tn New York, all lands and rents of the crown and all estates of ffty-nine named per sons were confiscated. The largest estate confscated was that of the Penn family, proprietaries of Pennsylvania which they estimated at nearly million pounds, sterling. -J. Franklin Jameson, The Amerl- can Revolution, pp. 51, 52.

FORFEITURES

It used to be that when the feder- al officers secured a conviction under the Volstead Act, they proceeded to confiscate the vehicle under the GUS tcms act (sec. 945O R. S,).
 The advantage was in the fact that innocent owners could not plead their ignorance and claim their lieu under the customs act whereas they could under the Volstead Act.
 The Supreme Court has decided tn tt if the Government elects lr prosecute under the Volstead Act they must stick with the Act ali through. This gives innocent third parties a chance.

DIVERS FIND-BATHERS LUCKY

The historic castle of Ehrenbreit- str.n on the Rhine, Germany, Am- orican headquarters during the oc- cupation, was the scene of a free champagne party last week, to which expert divers were especially well come But all corners to the bath ing beach had wine if they wished it.
 4 bather had dived into the Rhine and discovered a cache of excellent champagnes on the river bottom. He broadcast his discovery and the entire crowd of bathers fished for champagne until the last bottle was brought to the surface. Then they held a party. Inquiry showed that the bottles had been lowered in the river by a saloonkeeper who was un- der investigation for purported fr regularities in his business.

The Cat Industry.

Scoop got a rival photographer last
week following a complaint of a num-
Der of people living just beyond the
"rhubarbs" of Oakland that too many
feline species had been dropped near
them. This fellow, although not near
ly so good as the Col, did get a pic
ture of one of the men just as he was
dropping one of the cats along the
highway. Scoop hopes that the S. P.
G. A. gets after the miscreant, even
if it is none other than Col. Bell him
self.
The only explanation is that Col.
has been attending number of re-
unions this summer and it is supposed
that those wishing to get rid of their
pussies hired him as an accomplice at
an outlandish figure. AS the Col. has
a weak heart and couldn't think of
drowning them he started the practice
of populating the outskirts of Oak
land.

The following was the lone picture
captured by the Col. this week, and
will serve admirably to show just
what a busy man a fair manager can
be. AS the old saying goes, he's as
busy as a one-armed paper hanger
with the hives, and Scoop is here to
say that anybody who takes over the
job of managing the fair, has a job on
his hands.
He hardly had time to pose for this
picture as he was on his way to the
Fair Grounds to see that the mayors
reviewing stand was not being built
near the stable.

Col. Bell has been gadding about
too much of late, especially last Sun
day, and he wasn't able to take more
than one picture this week, and Scoop
had no choice but to print it. Col.
started on joy tour Sunday and had
a wonderful time up until the time it
happened. No, it didn't fall apart
altogether. There were enough pieces
left to have it hauled in. On Monday
and Tuesday, instead of reapiring
rolls of films, he was busily engaged
in H. A. Loraditch's garage opera
