Prohibition enforcement officials in the Ryracuae diatrict are to teat the validity of that action of the Volatead aet forbiddine; home brewing;. The raae, which, it is believed, is the first of Its kind in this part of the country, when completed probably will establish precedents which will be followed generally. The drive against those who believe In \male your own\ opened Monday in Hyraaeee. Joseph Swanks, was found in the cellar tranaferring three wash tabs full Of whet officials claim Is home made 4 per cent brew Into casee to be labeled \non intoxicating.\ No erreate were made In the caae, but atatementa were obtained from both buaband and wife. Until the re- turn of United Htatea Commleeioner L. Karl Higbee this action will be pending although If arrangements can be made before that time, the evidence may be laid before the special term of Federal court at Canton next week. The raid was the second mad* on the eatablishment. It was conducted by J. F. Waful. Peter Hovaney and J.J. O'Brien, According to officials. Swanka waa caught red-handed transferring the home-made article Into casks which had contained beer which ie within the law. \Non-intoxicating\ labels which had been on the caaks had been soaked off, according to Agent Waful, and were taken as evidence to be presented in the teat case. Officials say the beer had just been made and was In three wash tube, Some one-half of one per cent had hewn mixed with the home brew, and the resulting beverage, which was beintz transferred when the raid waa madtt, approximated four per Cent alcohol by volumn, the offlciale declare. Officials claim that at the Swanka place the home-brew was being retailed to the thirsty at ten centn a glase. It waa on a draught. One bar faucet contained legal beverage and the on* next to it the alleged four per cent drink, enforcement men aay. While the authorities claim they have several charges on which to hold the Swsnka's. the first to b** pressed will be for manufacturing liquor con- taining mora than one-half of one per cent aloohol. The second charge will be selling the liquor. Charges of tranaferring heetr hiYrel labeia without brekking the aeeJ will be Included, it Ie aafci. Several quart* of the home ma«U» brew were takt'it in the raid, togettthor with the soaked labels. This la the first time t>rohibition agenta have decided to bring a teat. caae on home brew. In a number of previous raids, buttles alleged to con- tain I Mr gal beer have been seised, but there was no proof that it wae homo made. Many complaints have been made to the authorities of late that home brew haa been dispensed freely over certain bars, and that most of it contained the pre war time beverage Inebriating qualities.

ROGtRI TAX MEASURE AROUSES IRE OF FARMERS Ralston-Nolsn Bill Would Saddle Heavy Burden on Rural Section. Considerable ire is being aroused among farmers of the state, especial- ly in view of the straitened situation In which the farming industry finds itself this yeer, over a proposed tax on land,' incorporated in the Ralston- Noian bill. The measure seeks to shift approximstely $1,000,000,000 in federsl taxes from highly developed city properties to rural sections by a I per cent tax levied on all real prop- erty in vslue exceeding $10,000. Frof. (J. F. Warren of Cornell uni- versity, eminent authority on agricul- tural economics, said in a recent ar- ticle that an additional tax on land would not have the effact prophesied and bring land into use that is now lying Idle. It would, he claimed, lay an additional burden on the farmer, who is even now burdened even to meet the cost of production of food. Sponsors of the Ralston-Nolan bill frankly admit that everything money can do will be done to secure passage of the measure through congress at its coming session. A $600,000 fund has been raised for propaganda. The country Is being flooded with leaflets on the bill, and every effort exerted to secure good will for it. It is said that the \second part of the program will be political; the energies of the committee will be directed on con- gress.\ Farmers who have studied the bnl charge that foisting this huge burden upon rural sections would be a men- ace to the welfare of the country. They make it plain that any move that would give impetus to the pres- ent unfortunate exodus from the fsrms of the country, as the recent consus shows, would be a sure way to reduce our food supply in future years and add to the cost of living, already burdensome to all. However, it is still the belief of these same men that not even $600,- 000 for propaganda purposes will be able to convince congress that the bill Is worthy and provides a better diHtrihution of federal taxes. It i* obviously of a class natore, they say, manifested by the type of s,?itation for it, snd as such it will not ht* able to at and under the attack of farmers* friends in congress. THE GQUVERNEUR DAIRY MARKET NO CHANGE IN PRICE SINCE JULY 26, WHEN 24 1-2 CENTS WA8 ESTABLISHED 0HLY4 BUYERS PRESENT HIGHWAY TRAFFtp v . iHoiinuR Over 2,500 Pass the Corner of Old High School r The count wsa made by C. Eugene Campbell, a local man connected with the highway department, of the vehicles pasaing the Hank of Gouverneur. The tally for Saturday showed 2,678 ve- hicles and that of Sunday 1,602. Tunis J. Weinwright, another local state highway man, was atationed at a point near the town line between Gouverneur and Richville and counted H21 vehicles on Saturday and, 618 on Sunday. By far the greatest per- centage of the figures represent au- tomobile*, although a few horse- drawn carriage were included. The tally on each day extended from 8 in the morning until 8 in the evening. The division of the different vehicles was as follows : Saturday 1690 New York state au- tomobiles, 63 from other states; 111 commercial trucks, 218 heavy trucks and bussea, 876 single horse-drawn rtgs,/131 double horse-drawn rigs. The Sunday traffic was consider- ably less, toe automobiles numbering 1,893 from this state. 37 out of state cars. 20 light trucks/ 30 heavy trucks and buss«s r 72 single rigs. 29 double rigs and 21 motorcycles. It will be noted that the traffic Sunday was lighter in all forma than on Saturday, except that of motorcycles, the count failing to register any of this form of vehicle on Saturday. It is thought that the week day traffic outside of Saturday would probably not equal that of Sunday. Sweep the electric way \ with a Torrington Electric Sweeper. Save time, labor and money. ST.

AMERICANS ABROAD j IN RED GROSS WORK United States Citizens Far Away Entliuiiastlo Members of the •ffcurteenth\ Divltlofu , Among the most enthusiastic and energetle members of the American Red Casee are those citizen* of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country -eons and daughters of the Stars and Stripes residing a f the far corners of the earth. • These people compose the Ihlular and Foreign Division at the parent or- ganization, generally known aa the ••FoorteesaV Division* which haa Jurisdiction of alt- texrltory outside the coui-Hy proper; thavt la, Alaaka, Porto Eloa, Hawaii, Vlrgto Islands, the Philippines, Guam, and even the ie land of Tap, which came under our flat aa a result of the world 1 war. For the year 1920 this division reported 80,808 paid up members. The mate object of this dhrhnon la to give out eitlaens everywhere the op- portunity to participate In the work of the oqganisetlon which stand* for the beat national Ideals. Americans In far plates Intensely loyal and pa- triotic, treasure their membership ie the Red Cross as the outward ex- pression of their citizenship, ft la an- other tie to the homeland and t e each otheA There are chapters of this dlvlsaau In Argentine, Bolivia, Brasll, Caael zone, Chile, China, Costa Rica,- Cupa, Domlntcaa Republic, aVuador, Jfogland, France, Guanv Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Japan, MansJhurla. Netherlands, Nica- ragua, Parsajeey, Peru, Philippines, Porto R&ea. Siberia, Spain, Sweden, SwltsiiilRsaj Syria. Turkey, Uruguay, Venesueia And Virgin Island*. During tie war these scattered members of the Red Cress contrib- uted mlllloat In money, and millions of dollar*' werth of neceaaeir articles for the men In service, and sent many doctors and nurses to France, At. the name ttrna they carried oa an excel- lent Home Service in their respective communhllse for the families of those who had gone te war, and in soma re- gion* gave Urge sums of money and immeaeurebte personal service te the relief of daaaeter and e^aee** victims. The division is BOW establishing service eft*** in foreign porta for the benefit of sailors In the American Mer- chant Marine, making plans to aid Americana In trouble in foreign lands and coinpaating arrangement* for giv- ing lmmedsete adequate relief In case of disaster. It is the Fourteenth Division's part In the greet Peace Time program of the Ameriemn Red Grose, AMERICAN RED CROSS TO GIVE RURAL HELP Program tor Public Health and| Comrmittty Welfare Is Now Vfell Under Way. ftuml communities and towns of less than 8,000 pepuiatlon benefit In a very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Ameri- can Red Cross. Almost all of the 8,600 Red Cross chapters have some rural sect loos in their territory. There- fore the Red Cross Rural Service. Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv- ice Is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public heattb instruction and general educational progress of both children and aduita play a big part. Recreation is found to h e one of tlW bigut'st needs in rural life. There is look of sufficient play-life for the chil- dren and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baselmll leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organised and car- ried on under the guidance of Red Cross mral workers to great Advan- tage. In many Instances solving rec- reational problems and getting people to^eUier proves to be the awakening of the community to other conditions which may be Improved by united or! Ion. As a result of community 'organiza- tion, townships In widen there had been neither plans nor Interest In community progress ha\ t » been organ- ized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their eommunlty up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a result of community meetings, as well as cir- culating libraries, Red Cross schools of Instruction In Home Nursing, ('are of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and pub- lic comfort stations Is being met. Play- grounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for the year. In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv- ice helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service Is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where sary.

SHOULD GET ANOTHER BEAU Little Probability That Hoosi*r QIH Will Ever Eradicate Stingy 8treaic From Present One. The sltlriglest young man has been discovered and he is a Hoosler too— living in Terre Haute, says the In- dianapolis News. He has long been termed a chair-warmer by the family of the girl whom he honors with his company, for he has never taken her to a show—even a moving picture one. As for candy and flowers, well he has not sent or brought any of either. As he seemed to be really nice the girl decided that perhaps he was greeu —that he needed a little hiut. So the other night she decided to give him one. After he had occupied about an hour of her time and also of her fa- ther's heat and electric light, she said: \Oh I'm so hungry for candy. Wlil you go to the drug store with me so that I can get some?\ , v He rose to show his willingness, and the glri was delighted, believing that her plan was going to work. But when the drug store was reached and the candy was bought, he displayed no In- tention of paying the bill. So, ot course, she had to do it herself. Furious at him and the whole world, too, she carried the box home and put it, still In its wrappings, on the piano in the living room. And all the rest of the evening ahe tortured him by talking of the Joy she would have on the morrow when she ate the candy. BEARDS AS BILL COLLECTORS Author Give* Possible Reason Why Most Publishers Prefer the Clean- Shaven Face. . Herbert Jenkins, the London pub- lisher who occasionally tosses off a book himself, tells the story of how on one occasion' when he was dining with an author and editor, the author suddenly called his attention to a man sitting alone in a far corner of the restaurant •That man,\ remarked the author, \has character. He has a publisher from whom he can never extract money. What do you think he dldr Mr. Jenkins shook a dubious head. \He went to the publisher's office and demanded payment. There was nothing doing. Without ceremony be seized the publisher by the beard and announced his intention of hanging or. until he got a check. He got his money. , •That,** continued the author re- morselessly, as he fixed a speculative eye upon Mr. Jenkins' clean-shav*n chin, \is why very few publishers wear beards.\ . Weeds and Hay Fever. ^ ^ Interesting observations made W Dr. William ShepiH-grell, president of the American Hay Fever Prevention association, are reported In a paper published by 1dm. As a result of a weed-cutting campaign carried out In New Orleans in the spring of 1910 the number of hny fever cases was re- duced to less than 50 per cent of the usual prevalence. The \cold storage\ treatment of the disease. In which practically all ventilation is excluded In order to insure the absence of at- mospheric pollen, Is wild to afford only transient relief, while the low tem- perature Is likeiy to cause bronchitis. The effects of an abundant rain on hay fever patients IR beneficial because the rain not only washes the pollen out of the air, but also permanently removes its toxic qualities, so that It is harm- less- when again blown Into the air after the rain is over. This has been proved by laboratory experiments. In which pollen, after submersion In wa- ter, was Inhaled by bay fever subjects without any apparent effect. LAND WAITS ON RECLAMATION Water and Modern Methods Will Make the Desert of Turkestan Bloom Like a Garden. Turkestan Is. of course, primarily agricultural country, and cotton, the major crop. The/other industries still await development. There Is a tre- mendous field for the rultlvatlon of vineyards and rice and other cereals. At the same time, the development of agriculture will greatly stimulate the sheep-raising industry, which Is now in the hands of primitive natives, unlnstruded in modern methods. The fruit industry awaits the guiding hand of modem science. With the help of California specialists, Turkestan cuuld be transformed Into an enormous fruit garden. There is at present only one factory for fruit preserving. Hlmllur ly, the fish teeming In the lakes and rivers need only the Introduction of modern Industry to place them \\\M\ the food' markets of the world. The silk Industry, If properly organized, would easily become one of the most Important In the world. The mountains of Turkestan are rich In unexplolted minerals. (Jold, Iron, copper, coal and many rare and precious stones and metals await the pioneer.
