Austin, Texas, May 3. An
.important answer has been
given mttnulacturers ot navor-
ing extracts by the attorney
general in reply to questions as
to whether they can legally
sell their products in dry terri-
tory in this State. It was held
straight out that if the extract
is capable of producing intox
ication is can not be legally sold
in drv territory and that its
manufacture or intended use
does not control.
""The law, says Assistant At-
torney General W. A. Keeling,
prohibits the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in prohibition areas.
It does not specifically apply to
any liquors, such as whiskey,
wine or beer, but all liquors
which may produce intoxication.
This Would include the recogniz-
ed intoxicants, flavoring ex-
tracts, proprietary remedies,
bay rum and any compound
which will cause intoxication.
Drug stores in m;any dry areas
have seased handling bay rum
because it was largely composed
of alcohol and could be reduced
to portable strength.
According to the chemical
analysis there are or have been
many remedies on the. market
for both men and wonVen, which
contained a high percentage of J
alcohol, some of them 70 per
cent strength. One well known
remedy revised its formula to
meet the new conditions. There
are others, according to Judge
Keeling.which have not reduced
their alcoholic strength, but it
would be a question of fact in
court to prove that there is
enough alcohol in them to pro-
duce intoxication. And that
brings the issue down to the
makers of flavoring extracts.
Some lemon extracts are high
in alcohol -and by dilution are
used as alcoholic beverages.
Thus, the sale of flavoring ex-
tracts is a question tf fact in-
volving the amonunt of alcohol
used in their preparation. One
manufacturer admitted in a let-
ter to the attorney general that
his product would produce in-
toxication, but that he manu-
factured exclusively for flavor-
ing purposes. His intention
does not govern, says the ator

BARTIETT BEATS TEMPLE.
"The best way to draft farm
labor," Asisstant Secretary of
Agriculture Clarence Ousley,
said, not long ago, in an address
before the Texas legislature, "is
for you to amend your vagrancy
law1 so as to include within its
term every able-bodied man who
does not do six days' work each
week as a rule."
In many states of the Union,
either by state legislation or lo-
cal action, steps have been asked
or plans are under way to re-
quire idle men to go tD work.
Farmers know they can not in-
crease their food-crop produc-
tion unless they have more la-t
bor. Town people know they '
will suffer ''.conveniences or
want and have to pay very high
prices for the rations they are
able to buy, if the farmers do
not increase product' on. And
both faruicri and town people
know, as all the world knows,
that we can't win the war unless
we have ample food. So, states
and country over are determin-
ing that this is not a time, nor
theirs, a place for the toleration
of idlers.
For instance, a few weeks ago,
,the sheriff of Grayson county,
Texas, a thickly populated ana
highly productive agricultural
section, announced by the Sher-
Iman papers and by posted pro
clamations that "every man
must goto work" This sheriff
didn't wait for the state legis-
lature to enact new laws. The
,old ones are strong enough to
suit him. "Goto work or go to
jail," he said crisply. "No man
will be allowed to loaf around
this town or in this county, be-
cause we are at a point where
evexy man's labor is seriously
needed for the farms."
What about our county?
.What about your state? Are
we requiring loafers to become
producers? While our sons
,fight in France, will you permit
,husky men to remain idle in
your community, when jtou
know their labor will produce
win the war without wh
vain ? Bell
The local boys defeated the
Temple team last Friday even-
ing in a very closely contested
game, the score being 4 to 1 in
Batlett's favor. At no time
did the Temple boys show any
superiority in the field or at the
bat. The feature of the game
was the pitching of Messer of
Bartlett. This game ended the
home schedule and the team in
behalf of the student body takes
this method of thanking the
local fans for their ardent sup-
port, both in finances and in
attendance.
