GETS 100000 IN
BEER REVENUE
State Secures This Sum In
Two Months Less Than a
Years Operation
FEES GROW EACH MONTH

Although Delaware a year ago
Saturday did not join with the rest
of the nation in the legal return of
80 per cent beer, this State has
from June until March 81, last
year, collected almost 100000 in
beer revenue. The 80 per cent
beer became legal in Wilmington
May 4, but the State Income Tax
Office was collecting license fees
until the State Liquor Commission
started to collect fees on June 9.
The State Liquor Commission re-
vealed that S60,883.72 has been
collected up to and including
March 81, for beer licenses, and
$3S, 507 SO for beer revenue stamps.
During March the total receipts of
the Liquor Commission amounted
to S16,526.41. as compared to S14,-
735.05, the total receipts for Feb
ruary. In February the Commits
sion turned over to the State
Treasury $4,000 of its revenue
and last month $4,000 was given
to the State Treasury. The COM
mission started April with S24,-
584.62 to its account. The March
report of the Commission discloses

heart out of the tree as soon as it
is cut down. He says you build
your house, perhaps and for a few
months fancy you have pitched
upon the one solitary site in the
country where there are no white
ants. But one day suddenly the
door post totters, and Intel and
rafter come down together with
crash. You look at a section of the
wrecked timbers, and discover that
the whole inside has been eaten
away. The apparently solid logs
of which the rest of the house is
built are now mere cylinders of
bark, and through the thickest of
them you could push your little
finger" Regardless of how strong
we are in the faith, regardless of
how much faith we think we have,
we must be very careful to keep
the slightest trace of doubt out of
our heart, because the seed will
reproduce, and soon there will be
nothing left but the shell
whole heart will have been devour-
ed. If man has, like Saul, only
the outward veneer of righteous
ness while the heart is being eaten
out with doubt and selfshness,
then it is plain that, like a rotten

Tinker Speaks of the
Value of CCC Training.

A survey of the CCC enrollees of the
Lake States, conducted by E. w. Tinker,
regional forester, at the beginning of
the Third Enrolment Period indicates
that 6947 men have quit to take jobs
outside of the Emergency Conservation
Program. These figures represent only
men who have served as enrollees and
not men originally hired as camp fore
men and superintendent. OF this total
1485 received honorable discharges from
the camps in Wisconsin; 2497 in Mich
igan, and 1865 in Minnesota.
Since the approval in August by
Robert Fechner, director of the Emer-
gency Conservation Work, of the pro-
motion of enrolled men to supervisory
positions, 60 men have been promoted
to positions of higher responsibility.
There are other men in the ranks of
the CCC who are thoroughly capable
of handling construction foreman work.
Mr.. Tinker explained, and they will be
promoted when vacancies occur.
''The greater portion of the Gees
who have served out their second enlist
ment have appreciably gained in their
outlook of life. Their appreciation of
the value of work is indicated by the
way they attack the problems in the
field. They have learned to organize
their mental and physical abilities to
the best advantage. Many of the en-
rollees are now assigned to highly
technical activities which call for
originality and initiative. Leaders
among the CCC boys are handling sur
veying, trail construction, and rodent
control crews with a minimum of super
vision, and giving excellent accounts of
the work. The so-called $30-a-month
men have been trained to go into the
woods and cut without marking dense
stands of pine, a procedure not possible
before training" Mr.. Tinker concluded.
The present one-year enrolment
limit means the building up of new
companies, and affords opportunities
for greater numbers of young men to
take advantage of wholesome, con-
structive work in the forests.

the teachers who prepared the class for
graduation and also the class on having

forestalling any fires of consequence in
the district during his term of Office.
The records of the county board will
show numerous accomplishments for
which Mr.. Pete can take credit in in
augurating or bringing to successful cul-
mination with the cooperation of other
members.
In addition to his services on the
board he has been an active member
of the st. Louis County club and Farm
Bureau association and of the Mime
sofa Arrowhead association. He has
been president of the county club for
the past five years and has participated
in many important public gatherings
for the promotion of the general
welfare.

business of defending professional
criminals" Judge Freeman said in his
address, "and we would administer a
serious blow to organized crime. The
professional criminal has forfeited all
right to pick his own attorney, usually
one of this type, and suggest that the
state choose the defendants attorney
from known group of honest, capable
lawyers who will fight for their clients
rights but who will not stoop to un-
ethical methods"
Applying his second point, the
Judge pointed out that much valuable
time is wasted in trial procedure when
the defense is not required to state his
arguments at the outset of the trial.
If the defendant is innocent and has a
defense there is no reason why he
should not be willing to state what it
will be and to admit those facts which
he is not going to dispute, the judge in
dicated. Often the opposing attorneys
will wrangle for days over points which
are not the real issue of the trial, the
guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Judge Freeman's advice to the officers
in regard to their work was that they
should gain the confidence of the
public, cultivate the friendship of the
citizen, and especially the boy, and to
preach continually to the public that
law enforcement is everyone's business
not only the policemen's.
The attitude of the newspapers of
the country toward crime came in for
share of the judges criticism when he
said: eff were newspaper editor ]
wouldn't publish anything that would
prevent officers from experimenting
criminals.
Another thing I don't like about the
newspapers is their tendency to make
a hero out of the criminal Dllinger is
an example His activities have been
followed so closely by the papers that
he has become a hero in the minds of
many people. I'd like rather to see
newspapers make heroes of policemen
who work against odds in the catching
of machine gun toting desperadoes"

those Sidewalk chiefs" tell you
how the firemen are getting
easy dough" every time an
alarm is sounded, just tell them
they are plain nuts. The laws
are so built that officers can
order anyone to fight fires and
it would have a wholesome eff
feet on those ginks who know
how to fight fires better than
the department, to order them
to pull and move hose or do
other work around a fire and
give them a chance to put their
loudly expressed mouthings to
a test.
Sunday night when the vol
unteer department was all
dressed up or ready for bed, the
alarm brought them out to a
garage fire in the alley between
Sheridan and Camp streets.
The prompt response saved the
garage as we'll as neighboring
structures at the expense of the
firemen's clothes, shoes, ETC.,
and for which they received the
munificent sum of $500.
Sunday evenings fire was
just little different from other
fires. The absence of cars, de-
livery trucks and school
children were noticed. Ely is
to be congratulated on the
promptness and efficiency of it's
department under Chief Ike
Cox in answering alarms.
Sometimes it is a wonder the
department ever gets to the fire
as private cars and almost
everything that runs on wheels
makes it a point to answer
every alarm. 1t is a saving
grace that the department is
swift, otherwise the traffic con-
gestion would be so great as to
preclude the possibility of the
department getting anywhere
near the fire.
