BREWERS STILL
OPTIMISTIC ON
BEER RETURN
Failure of Repeal Vote in
House Regarded Only
as Delay.

Brewers and their distributors are
not downhearted V e failure OF
congress to pass the prohibition re-
peal measure Monday, according to
E. K. Washburn, sales manager OF
klee ~ Coleman. local distributors
Of Falls City beverages.
Beer with a satisfactory volume
Of alcohol will be available in wet
states by next April, Washburn fore
cast.
He said he is convinced that the
present lame duck" session Of
congress will muster sufficient vote.
to legalize brew Of at last 2.75 pei
cent alcohol by weight, which Il
equal to 30 per cent by volume.
Senator James E. Watson is very
much in error when he refers to 2.75
per cent beer as "slop," said Wash
burn.
Called Good Beer
Before prohibition he said, land
under wartime act, in order to save
grain, we had TO make beer of 2.75
per cent by volume, less alcoholic
content than now is proposed, and
that made wonderful beer"
Washburn's views are corrobo-
rated in a letter he received today
from Ben H. Schrader, president of
Falls City Ice and Beverage Com
pany, Louisville.
Schrader said there Is no doubt
that a repeal measure will be passed
at the next session of congress and
submitted to the people to ratify
by states.
This will require years if the
states vote, but it will be sooner if
the states act in convention, he
said.
Hoover Called Poor Sport
President Hoover was branded a
poor sport by Schrader.
IF the present congress passes a
bill legalizing 2.75 per cent brew by
weight, which seems likely" he
wrote, 1T will have to be signed by
the President, and the question
ariees, will Mr.. Hoover veto it OF
allow tito become a law without his
signature?
He is not a good sport, and nc
doubt feels his defeat keenly and
grudgingly may veto the bill, which
then would have to be passed over
his head by two-thirds majority
vote.
I'm event the bill is passed and
signed, beer of 2.75 per cent by
weight or 80 per cent by volume
will be allowed to be manufactured
and sold only in those states that
permit a beverage Of that charac-
ter.
Barred in Indiana
I'm Indiana this would not be
permissible until the state legisla-
ture, which is believed to be over
Whelmingly wet, acts"
Washburn said failure of the state
Legislature to follow the lead of
congress in legalizing 2.75 per cent
beer would result in large ouanti-
ties of real beer being bootlegged
into the state from adjoining wet
states. !
Schrader added that his company
is opposed to legalizing high proof
beer, and is advocating that 2.75
per cent by weight be set as the
standard.

Secretary American BrIdg. League
TN my last article 1 showed you
4 a hand that should be opened
with two no trump. not only be-
cause II held a strong fve-card
suit, but due to the fact that it
held many tenace positions.
The holding of intermediate cards
-or tenace positions-usually is the
most important factor in governing
when a hand should be bid at no
trump.
However, you occasionally will
find a hand that holds no tenace
positions, but that nevertheless calls
for an opening declaration of no
trump. For example, take the fol-
lowing hand:
Spades-A-4
Hearts-A-K-4
Observation-Disclosures
CIubs-K-Q-6
You have the strong fve-card suit
necessary for an original two no
trump bid. In addition, you have
every suit stopped.
XXTHAT is partners most likely
w response if we open the hand
with a diamond? In all probability
he will bid spades, which PRACTICAL
forces you into no trump; and al
that you have accomplished is to
disclose to the enemy where your
strength lies.
BY opening with an original bid
of two no trump, you conceal from
your opponents just where your
strength lies, and at the same time
give your partner a fairly COM
plete picture of the strength of your
hand.
To go game at diamonds, you
would have to find almost enough
strength in partners hand to make
a small slam at no trump.
However, because you open the
bidding at two no trump, it does not
necessarily mean that you are 60
ing to play the hand at no trump.
For example, suppose partner held
the following hand:
Spades-J-10-7-6--5-3-2.
Hearts-8-2.
Diamonds-4-3.
CIubS-5-2.
If you were to open with a bid of
two no trump, and partner held this
hand, his proper response. would be
three spades. OF course, this is
your weak suit. and naturally you
will go On to three no trump.
DARTNER then will bid four
l. spades and this bid immedi-
ately informs you that, While he
has a long spade suit, it is not
established at no trump and, even
if it were, there is no chance to
get into his hand.
Remember, partner is absolutely
safe in going to four spades, be-
cause you have told him that you
had strength in every suit, a strong
hve-card suit and he knows that
you must have at least one honor
in spades.
If partner were to bid four
spades, you should pass, because
you now definitely can count up
your losers.
You are going to lose a spade, a
heart, at least n club trick, and
if the diamond suit does not break,
a diamond.
In other words, you would need
the most favorable of breaks to
make even three no trump with
this hand, with partner announc-
ing a dead hand.

A Great GAME

Editing a country news
paper is no sinecure although
many people consider it a
soft job.
The territory in which a
local paper circulates is of
necessity restricted. Every
body knows everybody else,
even including the latest
babies.
The people want the local
news but they object to hav-
ing it served up to them in
an offensive manner, as is
sometimes done by the great
dailies The editor must use
great judgment, soft pedal
where he might feel inclined
to tear loose and otherwise
prevent constant community
turmoil which might result
he finds it.
When a laudable enter
prise is contemplated, it is
the editor who must give it
the publicity of life, who
must boost it along, and
glorify those who have parti-
cipated. He never mentions
what he himself has done.
That is unethical.
He must aid the business
interests by reminding the
people of the desirability of
trading at home, whether the
business people aid him with
their advertising or not.

for office he makes a bee line

PRINTING THE NEWS

When to print disagreeable story and when
to leave one out of the paper is one of the most
troublesome problems of a samll-town editor
In the case of person who is unfathful to a
public trust, or one who is guilty of serious
crime, it is not difficult to decide, because the
public interest as we'll as the public's right to
have the news, demands that 1t be printed
There are some cases, however, in which the
offense is entirely of personal nature, and in
which publishing the story would bring sorrow
and embarrassment to innocent persons without
serving any beneficial purpose. In these the
making of a proper decision is often not easy.

BUY A BABY BOND

There is being offered for sale today govern
ment securities known as "Baby Bonds" which
will be purchased by American citizens as
factor toward relieving the economic situation
by bringing boarded money back into circula-
tion
the money which is spent for them will be left
on deposit with those banks for the use in the
locality which the bonds are sold
Features of these BABY Bonds" as described
by the reconstruction corporation officials are
outlined below.
l. They are government securities as sound
the government ITSELF of liquid character,
turnable into ready mony on 60 days notice and
bearing per cent interest rate.
2. An idle dollar put to work through such
bonds means from ST to $40 in establishing
credit which, in turn, will set the wheels of in
dustry in motion.
8. Bonds will be issued in $50, 100 and $500
denominations.
4. The money paid for these securities shall
be retained by the government on deposit in To-
cal banks
5. There will be no limit to the amount any
one may invest in the bonds, nor the total to be
issued
6. They will be obtainable at local banks
z. Purchase of the binds by persons holding
idle money is urged as a patriotic duty of
citizens.

1t the story is printed, relatives and friends of
the persons concerned will feel that it is un-
necessary; if it is suppressed, the scandal-mong-
will be disappointed, and many will insinuate
that the editor was bought off,
These same scandal-mongers would howl the
oudest, however, if their shady actions
were held up to public gaze.
So its hard to please everybody, and no editor
offs ense tries to please everybody He must let
his judgment and his own concience be his
guide.

probation as a citizen of Coolidge by patron

The Farmers Strike

Out in conservative Iowa farmers strike has
been under way for a week 1t is called holiday"
and fostered by the National Farmers Holiday AS
ISOLATION, which proposes to carry into other states
the movement to halt all crop shipments for thirty
days, until better prices paid for them.
Picketing, bockadng of trucks and other strike
methods are used
Dramatic as is this demonstration 1t can not
achieve prosperity for Americas hard-pressed farmers
Their problems are national and International So
must the remedies be-
These midwest farmers have permitted spe-
cia interests to sell them the high tariff gold brick

To start produce flowing from "overproduced farms,
the farmers must join with city labor to loose the

This lowering the Hawley-Smoot tariff

these external ones Among these the gearing

We Get Nowhere

HOW many conferences have we
Il L. had since the war, not only
here, but abroad, and in what great
achievement have they resulted?
Those on reparations have led to a
moratorium, which promises to be-
come permanent. Those on naval
limitation have led nowhere. and
those on disarmament have led to
the same place.
A conference is like any other
group of men and women. If
blessed with leadership which knows
what 1t is doing and how to do it,
all right. WISDOM is not the spon-
taneouS by-product of crowd psy-
chology.
If President Hoover has some
thing definite in mind, and if he
can put it over, the conference
called for Aug. 26 may result in
some good. If it's just one more
gathering to see whether somebody
present has a bright idea, we might
as we'll forget it.
Meanwhile, business is showing
disposition to recovery without con-
ferences. Such action as might
offer it real aid is beyond the power
Of unofficial groups. What it needs
most is liberation from excessive
taxes.
This could be had by lowering the
tariff, legalizlng beer, and opening
the door to Russian trade. A con-
ference could do no more than sug-
gest such measures, and it couldn't
do that much without displaying
greater courage than is common to
conferences,

A BREATHING Smell

Under new law, bills for poor relief can be
paid with borrowed money with ten years to pay
That gives the property owner breathing spell.
1t does not solve the problem.
Under the old law all bills for the aid of the
hungry were paid the following year. That means
huge tax eves in most counties next year.
Unfortunately the special session did nothing to
provide work for the voorhees,. And it is only by
giving work that the problem of poor relief can be
settled on a basis that does not mean bankruptcy
for the taxpayer
The one solution in sight is offered by the bill
introduced in congress by Representative Louis Lud-
low, called the Eagles-Ludow bill, which provides
for Sterilization of employment and is based upon
the theory that "t is the nalenabe right of every
American adult citizen to work continuously at
saving wage"
Strong public sentiment behind this measure which
will again be up in congress in December might make
ten-year loans for charity unnecessary.
