Beer Or Wine?

There seems to be wel-defined move ment afoot just now on the eve of the as- sembling of the 72nd Congress in lame. duck" session to demand the lsgalization not merely of beer of fairly decent slco- holic content. but also of light wines. lnas- much as the expression Tight wines and beer" have gone hand in haad now since the advent of prohibition we hardly see how the two can be divorced at this late date. Not that the two have anything in common. save the presence of alcohol in varying amounts in their respective bodies. But 1t seems logical to expect nation that would legalize beers would also let down the bars for wines. whether they are light or heavy.
 Perhaps it it is the mere fact that the expression Tight wines might lead to prolonged discussion as to what eonsti- tutes light wine" which has caused most legislators to devote their time and energy to working for legalized beer bill of recent months. But if there is to be strong beer block in the coming short session of Con- gress it is as safe to assume that wine bloc will also be very much in evidence. And recent news dispatches more than bear out this belief. There is a wine bloc and 1t will be heard from when legislation of this type manages to penetrate the more complicated problems of international debts and their payment.
 Such states as California New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Ohio Michigan and Missouri won't stand by calmly when the opportunity to legalize beer looms They will show themselves not merely in- terested in breaking the grip of prohibition on the nation by return of beer but also by slie appearance on the market of beverage in which the fermentation of their fruit products plays an important part. It is only natural that the grape growers of the nation would be as vitally interested in pending legislation as their brothers who raise malt. hops barley. etc.
 Certainly if people who have any hatred for the so-ealled hard liquors hope ever to make any progress in the program of tenn peranee it will be through larger eonsunp- ton of beers and wines. If the nations taste can be turned into these channels then something will have been accomplished. To- day we are a nation of gin and whiskeS drinkers What we will be tomorrow depends to considerable extent upon the wisdom ot those who are legislating for return of aleo- holic beverages and those who are working to prevent this state of affairs.

do not know how Mir Cummings feels about this matter, but. if place in the cabinet is to be &C., corded to New England. we know of no one more richly entitled to consideration"
 Reviewing the activities of MT Cummings in public and profess sional life over a long period of years, the editorial concludes with these words:
 "No ono doubts MT Cummings ability in administering large af- fairs. This has been abundantiy shown fin both his public and pri- vate career.
 An attorney general should also possess, if possible, a wide personal acQuaintance throughout the coun- try. Mir Cummings long service on the deniocratic national committee, his experience as it's chairman. and his close contact with President Wilson during the latter's tdminis- tration should stand lim in good stead, if the appointment should como hls way. Moreover, his very unusual capacity for presenting q cause; either by spoken or written word. is a qualification highly de- sirable in Q cabinet officer, and his loyalty to Governor Roosevelt is, of course, beyond question.
 He was one of the original Roosevelt men and both before and during the. convention rendered iri- valuable service in bringing about Governor Roosevelt's nomination.
 We do not know what the exi- gencies of politics may suggest, but should Governor Roosevelt sec fit to invite MT Cummings to become Q member of his cabinet, such ac- ton would meet with universal ap- proval in all informed circles.
 Tt may also be recalled that Connecticut has not been represent ed in the cabinet of president of |'either party since the days of Gid- con Wellcs. nearly seventy years ago; and New England has gener- ally been overlooked. Perhaps the turn of Connecticut and New Eng land is about to come again. We sincerely hope so"
 Thc tribute paid to the ability and services of Mir Cummings by his homo town paper Is more than taleRsantry. Jtsb expresses the thought that is in the minds of countless others in many parts of the country who have been asso- ciated with him in both public and party activities.

Governor Cross in eongratulat.ng Repre- sentative Augustine Lonergan of Hartford upon his recent elevation to the U. s. Sen ate by virtue of his stirring victory over the republican incumbent. Hiram A. Bingham of New Haven. calls attention to the fact that Connecticut has never done much for democratic candidates for the Senate. Mir Lonergan is the first democrat to 30 to the Senate since this legislator has been elected directly by the people. And even before this change in the Constitution in 1913 Con- neeteut was more than partial to republic
 can senators. As Governor Cross points out Eaton was the last one of the period from 1875 to 1888 and he was in actuality fusion candidate. .It is altogether fitting climax to Augustine Lonergans career that he is now to serve a six-year term in the Senate. He has given many years of service to his party here in this state and also at Washington where he was conspicuous member of the lower House during the Will son administrations His return to public life two years ago proved that he had never lost his popularity with the voters. In de- feating Senator Bingham for office, even though the independent republican voters claim credit for this. he once more estab- Iished himself as among the leading legisla- tors of the state It is safe to say that his career in rhe Senate will be as distinguished as that in rhe House of Representative.

MAPLE SYRUP PRODUCERS
BUSY WITH SPRING TAPS
County Manufacturers Expect
to Exceed Last Years Output
of 1900 Gallons of Syrup
GARRETT CHIEF PRODUCER

Maryland maple syrup and sugar
producers are busy at present gath
ering the maple sap and manufac-
turing maple syrup and sugar, accord
ing to John H. Carter, county agent,
who reports that already IL producers
have been visited by W. C. Bowen, of
the State Department of Markets, rel
alive to inspection of their product.
Mr.. Beven states that an excellent
grade of syrup is being manufactured,
although it is taking about twice the
usual amount of sugar water to do it.
The ultimate aim of the Extension
Service of the University of Mary
land is to standardize the product,
build up market in Baltimore and
Washington for the entire production
in the county and give the producer
greater net profit.
An attempt is being made this year
to make a complete survey of the
maple sugar industry, as a number of
inquiries have been received by the
county agent relative to supply and
grade of syrup, and it is almost GER
tain that when standardized the en-
tire production can be disposed of
through the Extension Service of the
University of Maryland,
Garrett Chief Producer
There is produced in Maryland an
nually about $1,000 gallons of maple
syrup and 175,00O pounds of maple
sugar, practically all of which comes
from Garrett county. Of 154 producers
in the State, 148 are located in this
county, according to reports.
Two years ago, to insure the pro-
duction of high quality and uniform
product, number of producers of
the county formed the Garrett County
Maple Products Association, which
works in cooperation with the State
Department of Markets, and the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice in providing a grading service.
The first year the Association was
established approximately 1000 gal
Ions of syrup was inspected by the
Association, and last year the number
of gallons was increased to 5000. This
spring, if there is a good run Of sap,
it is believed that the number of gal
Ions to be inspected will be materi-
ally increased. The inspection work
this spring is being carried on by W.
C. Beven.
Three Grades
The syrup is placed in three grades
by the inspector. The best is sold
under the trademark, "Crest o. The
Alleghanies," and the other grades
are known as "Fancy" and "Prime."
The third grade is classed as "Stand
lard"

cles of our association. One of them
provides that all copies of the Scrip
lures distributed or published by this
Society shall be without notes, and of
the versions in common use among the
Churches in whose languages re-
spectively it may be deemed useful to

The second article provides that,
every person becoming a member
shall at the time of subscribing to it's
constitution pay the sum of $500, and
the sum of $500 every year after
wards. Persons subscribing or CIV
ing $4,000 or upwards shall be mem

tribution."

provide the sinews of war that his
cohorts might be fully armed with the
sword of the spirit which is The Word
of God.

selfish motives, can save us. Thank God, lumbermen are by tradition, fighters, and I believe in this emergency we will stand as one man to protect the in- dustry of which we are so proud and upon which depends the livelihood of thousands of work men.
 Few, even of the larger oper- stors, have realized in recent years the important position the box industry occupies as a con- sumer of lumber. Of the total cut of lumber in the United States approximately B per cent is used in the manufacture of crates and boxes. In the Pact- flc Greater West 50 per cent of the pine is converted into con- tainers, thus indicating the im- portance of the box industry"
