much of its dry beeriness to an unusually high

AS dry and berry as any beer you
could find in any brewery,
anywhere, Gunther's is rushed to
your dealer in fast trucks daily.

NOW you can drink Gunther's just as it was
brewed for you at the brewery! Here's why
Gunther' sensational new daily deliveryplan is
SO vitality important to all lovers Of good beer:
First: Light is the enemy of beer. No matter
how well it is brewed, beer exposed to light
for any length of time, deteriorates rapidly.
Second: Beer ages in the wood. Beer must
be aged to be good. But it doesn't age or i'm
prove in bottle Time gradually destroys its
true brewery flavor" once thasleft the wood !
Third: Careless handling hurts beer, too.
Carelessly stored, out in the open, or in or
binary warehouses, it is subject to the ravages
Of temperature, light, and early deterioration.
If there is a product more sensitive, in many
ways, than milk, it is beer And we found
that our beer was not always handled properly
in the past.
So you see why Gunther's is now delivering
beer right from the brewery direct to your
y dealer in fast trucks daily. It costs us more
money. But you get perfect beer in every

run for the State Legislature and was
elected. An interesting career started.
He was elected to Congress in 1918,
where he served on the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee with
the present majority leaders of the
House and Senate, Representative
Rayburn and Senator Barkley, then
serving their first terms in Congress.
Mr.. Stevens was the author of the
provisions of the Trade Commission
Act, declaring unfair methods OF
competition unlawful" when he served
for two years as counsel of the Federal
Trade Commission. He was appointed
vice chairman on the United States
Shipping Board American representa-
tive on the American Transport Coun-
Gil. A member of the Tariff Com
mission early in 1887, Mr.. Stevens
resigned to make speeches in behalf
of the Presidents Supreme Court plan.
He was appointed to his present posi-
ton. chairman of the Tariff Com
mission, in June. 1887.
In appearance Mr. Stevens is a thin,
serious man in his Cos He Is
graduate of Harvard and its Law
School, 1899 His experiences in pub
lie affairs in no way extinguish his
very real enthusiasm for life and peo-
pie, that chance, training and back
ground make so interestingly diverse.
He is one of the few people who could
step back into simple country pleas
ureS without jar. He has a love Of
climatic extremes in land ownership.
From 40 acres of tropical land IN
Siam, where deer. leopards and wild
animals called frequently, to the rigors
of his New Hampshire farm, Mr..
Stevens love of the land finds express
sion.
Siam held him for nine years. He
was selected adviser on foreign affairs
by his majesty, the King of Siam (no
American politics involved, whose ad-
yisers for many years had been Ameri-

helped draft Siamese laws, served as
judge on the Supreme Court, sat
on many commissions, was present
during the revolution. 1t was a far
cry from his experiences in a demo-
cratic government to a monarchy.
Since 1887 Mr. Stevens main duties
have been tariff. Investigations at
home and abroad on production costs
keep alert all who have goods to SELL
Mr.. Stevens feels that foreign trade
is "tWo-way street" and "if you sell

Chickens Can Still Eat Grasshoppers and Columnist

flock, catching grasshoppers in the
clover. This hen was distinguished
from the flock. She was an individ-
ualist, she had enterprise and indus
try; she had remained busily pursuing
the hoppers after the rest OF the flock
had gone home. She had resourceful-
ness. too-knew how to adapt herself
to circumstance and make 1t serve her
Individual Technique.
In the pursuit Of grasshoppers she
had developed an individual technique.
In the field was horse, grazing. As
he moved his nose forward in the grass
he stirred up grasshoppers. The hen
placed herself yard or so in front
OF the horse. and facing him. AS the
horse stepped forward the hen stepped
backward. AS each forward move of
the horses munching mouth caused a
barrage of grasshoppers to leap for
ward, the hen kept herself at the
bottom of the arc where the barrage
descended.
Busily clutching and gulping, she
neglected the passage of time. The
tip of one Of the tree shadows reached
and covered her As it shut of the
sun, she cooked her head alertly,
looked toward the sun, observed it
close to setting. and at once, without
another peck at hopper or a look
behind, started down the hill toward
home. She was startled but not dis
turbed. She did not run, but walked
rapidly and directly in a straight line,
with a continuity of intention. q set
tied purposefulness, that marked her
of from the race of hens as a whole.
Belated but safe, she arrived at the
chicken house with her craw better
filled than her less assiduous sisters.
The outstanding salience of that hen
attracted me. I continued to observe
her. l did not ever see her cross a
road. though I thought of applying
that test of hen intelligence. 1 am
satisfied she would have looked alertly
to the left and alertly to the right:
would have calculated accurately the
nearness OF automobiles and their rate
OF speed; and. having satisfied herself,
would have crossed the road directly,
without change of mind. She had
personality. self-reliance, initiative and
Intelligent persistence; in short,
marked individuality.
The rest of the flock. so far as I
can observe. do not visit any envy
upon the enterprising individualist
among them. nor attempt to regiment
her. They do not penalize her indus
try by any maximum hour law which
would require her to stop feeding when
they do. Though I suppose she is,
within the practices Of her tribe, the
ethos of the genus gallina, an eco
nomic royalist-yet the others of her
species do not revile her, nor regard
themselves as underprivileged. They
show no agitation about the techno-
logical improvement she has devised.
They do not propose any undistributed
surplus tax which would penalize her
superior ingenuity. nor in any way do
they show any spirit of share the
hoppers.'

The corn we raise is going to be
divided by the crop control law into
two categories - that which we can
raise and sell, and that which we
can only raise Under certain con-
ditions the law will put a quota on
us. Corn raised within the quota we
can sell or otherwise use or dispose
of as we wish. But corn raised above
the quota is put under ban. taboo.
We must not sell it. We must not
sell it directly and we must not sell
1t indirectly, in the form Of hogs or
steers or poultry that have fed
upon it.
So. if our chickens eat corn which
comes out of any excess above our
quota, we cannot lawfully sell such
chickens nor the eggs from them. To
sell a chicken thus nourished would
encounter the austerity of the law; 1t
would be bootlegging. This will re-
auire us to be meticulous, for 1t Is
not easy to keep separate the corn
that is within our quota from the
corn above our quota. We shall need
to be vigilant. for sometimes stray
grains of corn fall from a farm wagon,
or drop through cracks in the corn
crib, and may be picked UP by chick
ems. to whom one grain Of corn looks
much like another. and who are not
adequately instructed in the abstruse
distinctions which the crop control
law requires us to observe.
