Says Grape Growers
Will Aid Dry Agents

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Three
large grape growers associations,
including 80 per cent Of the Cali
fornia growers, have recently been
organized and will cooperate with
the prohibition forces in seeing that
no grapes go through Illegal chan
nels. according to A. L. Podesta of
San Francisco. leading grower of
the Pacific Coast.
y "The California Vineyards Asso-
citation, Federal Grape Sterilization
Corporation and the Fruit Industries,
Inc, are the three combinations
which are making careful surveil-
lance of the ways in which the
grapes are used" Mr.. Podesta said
Prohibition is decided failure. ="
ne continued. THE government
should allow light wines and beer.
which action would promote temper
ance and curtail bootlegging. Gov
eminent statistics show that more
alcohol Is manufactured legally to-
day than before prohibition. yet
the need for greater use cannot
be shown
Mr.. Podesta stated that the grape
crop this year would be much
smaller than last year, owing to
heavy frost which injured the vine
yards. He predicts only $4,000 cars
will be shipped.

Autos Hurt Him
Years ago Wallace bought a
blacksmith shop here and was max.
ing fairly good money until bust.
ness began to drop off with the ap.
pearance of motor cars. He knew
that he would have to do some
thing in .order to make both ends
meet.
An idea struck him. In every
line of work there are specialists
Why not specialist in the
blacksmith business? He decided
to give 1t a try and since then has
not regretted It. He, works on what
he calls the "barn.to-barn bust
ness"
Instead OF having his customers
visit his place of business. he takes
his portable blacksmith shop,"
placed In a truck, which Is fully
equipped. and goes to the homes
of his customers.

His "clientele" now includes
about 800 saddle horses and polo

they are about the shoes they
themselves wear With Ibis spe-

not do.
He makes special shoe for polo
