Farmers who have believed that the
brewing of malt liquors would increase
the sale of farm products to an enor-
nous extent are going to be disap-
pointed judging by statistics that have
been appearing in market reports. The
concensus appears to be that not more
than two percent Of the smaller grains
are used by breweries. Industry will
gain heavily, about half million men
being required to operate the revived
industry when it becomes fully estab-
lished

Alice: Come Home.
All is Forgiven"

Few advertisements in your newspaper
start that way Yet most Of them are just
qs personal, and almost as promising.
Manufacturers and merchants must
know your needs and wants, or go out Of
business. They must know, for instance,
that about the first of next month you'll
be very much interested in new hat or a
new lamp, or new towels. They must fore
see your wishes-and have what you'll want
when you want it.
And they do-constantly striving to suit,
at the lowest possible prices. Then telling
you in advertising of the gifts they have
brought from the far corners of the earth,
to please Your Royal Highness.
Read the advertisements III this paper.
They are addressed to you-personally.
They bring you news of better things to
have and easier ways to live. Intimate news,
of immediate interest.

WASHINGTON

" aoAAAAe, lSiAf 49, ~ 1NN~AAA1@A ~.
Political forecasters here are up to
their ears in speculation as to what
the lame duck congress, which will
open its final session next week, will
do about beer legislation. 1t is expected
by all to be the first piece of major
legislation to be taken up.
The general opinion here is that the
house will railroad through bill mod
flying the terms Of the Volstead Act
so that beer satisfactory in strength
to all drinkers will become legalized.
Ales and light wines will also, it is
expected. be permitted Of a strength
now denied by the present act. The
bill, when passed, will be sent over to
the senate for similar action and the
joint bill will then be sent to Presi-
dent Hoover for his signature.
Practically everybody here admits
the vets possess sufficient majority in
both houses to pass any legislation de-
sired by them. Even staunch dry re-
publicans like Senator Vandenberg, Of
Michigan, have bowed to the storm of
wet votes cast in the recent election
and admit they will no longer oppose
the expressed wish of the people, spo-
ken as they were in no uncertain tones
The day has gone by, it is admitted,
when congressman need to listen to the
voices from back home, demanding that
they vote against the Demon Rum"
Even the powerful lobbies that have
haunted the halls of the capitol build
ing for Is years, watching that the
peoples representatives did not break
from their dry stand, have practically
ceased to exist.
May Veto Wet Bill
The one factor that has not changed
in the situation, it is said here, Is the
veto power possessed by President
Hoover. Those close to the president
assert that he has declared openly
since the result of the election was
learned that he will veto any bill of
fered to liberalize the Volstead Act,
taking the stand he considers any ac-
ton of that kind to be a notification
of the Eighteenth amendment Even the
most vigorous supporters Of repeal do
not feel that the seventy second con-
/ gress possesses enough wet votes to
60 counter to the presidents wishes
and pass the bill over his veto. That
makes it look more than likely that no
changes will be made in the Volstead
act until President elect Roosevelt is
sworn in next March.
During the campaign the democrats
did not disabuse the mind Of the pub
lie, which plainly believed that the
country would be made wet by actor
of congress in its first week after the
election. While no definite promises
were made of action before mex
March, yet the feeling was allowed tc
exist that immediate action was quite
likely. It is generally believed here thai
congress will pass wet Legislation
quickly and put the issue squarely
up to the president, thereby redeem
ing the democratic party promises ever
If it fails to result in hte country get
ting the beer it plainly voted for.
One significant trend since the cleo
ton has been general let-down ir
enthusiasm In regard to the expected
amount of revenue to be realized b,
/ the legali1ng of beer and light wines.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.

The Libby High School, through the
efficient coaching of George Vogt and
his assistants, Mr.. Paar and MIR.
Hughes, and the exceptional response
of the players on his teams, have
brought a State Championship in
Football to their home town. The split
of the boys has been kept at high
point all through the season by the
whole hearted boosting of the fans.
No team can win without spirit and
spirit is built up by loyal backing. The
financial burden of carrying a team
through long season has been relieved
by the cooperation of the parents and
the business men IN providing cars,
entertainment and in attendance at the
games. Two whirlwind ticket sales by
business men will enable the school
to come through without deficit and
at the same time to avoid any undue
strain on the community. As one mer-
chant remarked, "A successful VEN
ture by any part of the community
helps the rest Of us to think that It
will be our turn next" The victory
is Libby victory and the school
wishes to share the honor with all
those who have made the champion

Will Give Charity
Dance October Fl

On Friday evening, October 2lst, the
welfare committee of the Commercial
Club will give dance, the proceeds
to be used for medical fund. Dur
ing the past winter between Is and
twenty dollars was required for pur-
chasing medicines and baby foods.
Had not Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Shaw
sacrificed any profit on the articles
furnished this amount would have
been larger. 1t is anticipated that
more will be needed this winter and
the committee wants to be prepared
for any emergency.
The dance will be given at the Is
land Club, which is being furnished
rent free for the evening. The only
cost will be for lights The women of
the Island are donating the refresh
ments. Mrs. Leora Lipin is in charge
of the music and group Of Island
musicians are donating their services
for the evening, as well as giving up
several for practice. A very nominal
charge for admittance will be made
and it is hoped that the Island people
will turn out and fill the hall to
capacity.

or scored 300 or more points and 6 of
these 80 were Beall birds.
In the Central New York State con-
test the Beall entry also took first
prize for all breeds and varieties with
a record of 2438 eggs and 25868O
points. Again the number of points
exceeds the number of eggs. This
record is for 81 weeks The individual
records WERE
Hen No. 1--270 eggs, 1920 points
Hen No. 2-248 eggs, 260.50 points.
Hen No. 3--197 eggs, 2l4.2o points.
Hen No. 4-252 eggs, 264.35 points.
Hen No. 6-2s6 eggs, 257.1o points.
Hen Nc. 9-27e eggs, 285.9o points.

Hen No. 1l-260 eggs, 2780O points
Hen No. l2-276 eggs. 2S4.SO points
Hen No. 2O4 eggs, 219l5 points.
In the Michigan contest several
good birds were lost by an epidemic
but the remaining birds made very
good average but could not compete
with the ten bird pens. Their record
for the 81 weeks: 2194 eggs and
2246.10 points.
The final report for the Texas Ma
tional has not been received to date
but the report for the 18th month
showed the Beall pen having 1897 eggs
and scoring 2313.5O points, holding 9th
place for August.
The Colorado National closes one
month later than other contests and
the September report has not been re-
ceived. However, the Beall entry is
among the ten high pens. Mr.. Beall
received certificates of award for two
hens that made perfect scores of 81
eggs each for August out of three such
scores in the contest.

The final reports for the United
States egg laying contests for 1931-32
are nearly all out and as usual the
Beall pens have distinguished them
selves but this year they have estab-
lished some records that will probably
stand for some time.
In the 1882 contests Mr.. Beall
had five pens entered in various con-
tests throughout the United States,
Central New York State, Texas Ma
tional, Michigan International, Geor-
gia National and the Colorado Ma
tional.
In the Georgia National, conducted
at the Experiment Station of the
State College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts at Athens, Georgia, the
Beall birds won the highest award, a
silver loving cup, for the highest pen
all breeds and varieties in both eggs
and points. This record was: 1851
eggs; 2857,65 points for ST weeks. This
pen was held over for the full 1855
days, making record Of 2918 eggs
scoring 2e28.65 points. The individual
records in eggs and points were:
Hen No. 1-3ll eggs, 3O4.10 points.
Hen No. 2-272 eggs, 276.95 points.
Hen No. 4-S03 eggs, 290.1o points.
Hen No. 5-294 eggs, 1921. 85 points.
Hen No. 6-261 eggs, 276.75 points,
Hen No. 1901 eggs, 295.55 points.
Hen No. 8-297 eggs, 286.5O points.
Hen No. $3.50 eggs, 267.85 points.
Hen No. 1911 eggs, 308.30 points.
Hen NO l2-3l8 eggs, 300.7O points.
This is an average of 291 8 eggs pei
bird and 1926 points per bird. The
fact that the amount of points exceeds
the number of eggs indicates that al
eggs, beginning with the first egg laid
averaged little over "a ounces to the
dozen. This is an exceedingly large
egg size and proves that large egs
size can accompany high records if thu
right breeding is back of the bird.
Mr.. j. G. Bell, manager of thu
Georgia contest, in q letter dated oc'
tober 4th, says: II want to congratu'
late you on the wonderful record madt
by these birds, So far as we know
they made the highest record of an!
contest in the country"
In the entire contest there were 3!
hens that either laid 800 eggs or NOR

Give
House Warming

About 40 neighbors, and friends from
all parts of the Island gathered last
Saturday evening for a real old
fashioned house warming at the new
home of Paul Paulson. The evening
was spent in visiting and dancing, and
the way some of the men danced was
revelation. Mr. Paulson, who has
been walking with cane for num-
Der of years, got the spirit Of the &C.
casion and casting aside his cane
showed some steps that surprised even
the youngest dancers in the crowd. A
delicious lunch, provided by the women
present, was enjoyed by everyone. 1t
was an evening of genuine fellowship,
long to be remembered.
Mr.. Paulson's former home was de-
stroyed by fire September 10th, leav-
ing him with just the clothes he had
on, his bed and a portion of his bed
clothing, part Of which were destroyed
after the bed was carried from the
burning house. The day previous to
check received for his years crop of
loganberries and had purchased sup
ply of groceries which were in the
house when 1t burned. His home and
its contents, and his years result OF
his crop were gone in few minutes
leaving him destitute. A committee of
neighbors who best knew Mr.. Paulson
and his many fine qualities started at
once to solve his problem. They
solicited all over the Island, receiving
q ready response from persons who
had never heard of Mr. Paulson be-
fore. Enough money was donated to
purchase lumber for a small house
Under the direction of John Jensen
who gave three days of his own and
one of his mems time, eleven neighbors
built the new home which consists OF
large living room, bed room, clothes
closet and pantry. This house is COM
plete, even to the painting on the out
side.
Many who could not give money to-
ward the lumber have donated house
hold necessities, canned fruit, grocer
les. etc. Nj. Paulson is overwhelmed
by the kindness and generosity thai
has been displayed, and he, together
with the neighbors who have solicited
the assistance, wish to thank each
person for the aid that has been re.
ceived. AS one of the women express.
ed 1t, Where but on Vashon Islant
could such lovely spirit have beer
shown, and help given SO quickly anc
SO willingly?'
