PROPANGANDA, NOT FACTS.

It is to be seriously doubted of Louis Taber farmer as a whole when he expresses the opinion that the legal brewing of beer will be injurious to agriculture His statement that effect has all of the earmarks of Inspired propaganda rather than pure fact
 Beer is 5rewed and drunk in the United States today on scale probably large ever in it's history. This is a condition that MT. Taber and his associates seem to have overlooked in their survey. There is a significant difference in the method of it's brewing and sale during pre-Volstead days and thereafter.
 Before National Prohibition, every gallon of beer brewed. liquor distilled. paid tax to the Fed eral Government, and other taxes to State County and municipal governments That source of revenue has been wiped out. Even though the grains that went into beer before vostead are going into it now, and the sale is the same the fact that they going into illicit industry makes them less valuable a of revenue to their growers.
 The agricultural industry is in the doldrums. It has had from the Federal Government many mill lions of dollars from public funds, knows just how much. and still it cries for relief. In addition many hundred rirlions additional have been expended in a futile effort to enforce Prohibit ton. If that flow of gold from the Treasury were damned and the stream of tax revenues formerly accruing from the brewing industry again turned into the Treasury, it ought to be possible for the Government to be administered including Farm Relief without mourning the billiondollar deficit such as is predicted for this year

 St, Louis came here jubilant fol- lowing their shutout victory on Fri day. After todays game they re- garded the series as good as won for the National League for the first time since 1926 when the Car dinals upset the dope by beating the New York Yankees.
 When the two clubs arrived nera it was rumored that the Cards pos- sibly had seen the last of Grove for this series, but this was proved unfounded when he was selected for todays game by Mack. In the first game at St. Louis, which he won, Grove rubbed a blister on the index finger of his pitching hand, and the flesh Sunday was still pink. It was just such an in- jury that incapacitated Wild Bill Hallahan after he had pitched his first shutout against the Athletics last Fall.
 
 Players were inclined to believe Grove would be held out of the rest of the games, except for relief duty. However, the Athletic pitcher said he thought the finger would be all right.

Vndication of Colonel Ohlsons policy with re- spect to developing that portion of Alaska coming within the influence of the Alaska Railroad made evident in the preliminary report of the U s. Geo. logical Survey, just issued.
 From the date of his arrival as Manager of the railroad, Colonel Ohson has labored to secure compilation of the mineral possibilities of this portion of Alaska. It was easy task to convince Washington of the necessity for this step and to break down the prejudces unjustly built up around gold mining.
 That he accomplished his purpose and laid the foundation for rapid and substantial advancement of Central Alaska stamps his administration an out standing achievement and the future will serve to reaffirm the soundness of his judgment in pioneer railroad management

Another possible cause of the death

died in commissions here recently,
vas eliminated Tuesday when chem
lists Of the state regulatory depart

There remains only clinical re-
searches of local physicians to clear
up the mystery Of the child's death.
Dr.. L. w. Larson of the Quain and
Ramstad clinic said late Tuesday that
q report on researches he is making
would be available by Wednesday
noon.
The Broehl child died "a hours after
being taking Ill March IL. It was
thought that he might have been poi
soned by some colored Easter candy
that he had eaten q few hours before
being taken Ill. This theory now has
been exploded by the report Of the
chemists who also tested the candy
for traces of chemical poison.
meteorological analyses were also

whether or not the child might have
suffered from toxins manufactured
by bacteria. No malignant bacteria
were found.
