Secretary Houston of tlie
. agricultural department has offi-
cially decided what real wine is,
and made a pure-food ruling
which domestic wine manufac-
turers regard as of importance.
It defines wine to be “the pro-
duct of the normal alcoholic fer-
mentation of the juice of the
fresh, ripe grapes.’* Now let
M r. Hr.van define what is grape
juice, and we will know “where
we are at.”
Speaker Clark “evened up” a
little with Mr. Hryan the other
day by voting against the bill al-
lowing the Secreta.y of State an-
other assistant at $4,000 a year.
The Speaker was so eager to re-
cord his opposition to the propo-
sition that he asked to have his
name called by the clerk when
the voting was under way. The
opjxisition lost out, and then the
majority “evented up” with the
Speaker by defeating the prop-
osition to allow him and the
Vice President an automobile.

A German aviator made the
world's duration record recently,
remaining in the air 18 hours
and 10 minutes without making
a landing.
They don’t like “sky scrapers”
in Germany. In Herlin,oneof the
four or five largest cities in the
world, no building higher than
four stories can be erected.
The New York Herald, which
usually looks at questions from
an independent instead of a par-
tisan standpoint, takes the fol
lowing optimistic view regarding
the business outlook: “There are
signs on every side that the pe-
riod of retrenchment, economy,
doubt and gloom has etuLd and
that the country is about to enter
upon an era of expansion and
prosperity. The prime factors
in this are tne assurance of con-
tin ued easy money and the pros-
pect of record-breaking crops.
If the decision of the interstate
commerce commission gives the
rates, this will hasten the pace
of tlie procession which has al-
ready started its forward march.
What are the evideuecs of this:1
Well, bank clearings are larger
than a year ago, although prices
of the commodities exchanged
are lower—an evidence of in-
crease ir earnings of a number
of the railways. Pittsburg tells
of greater purchases of basic
pig iron—the inevitable forerun-
ner of greater demand for finish-
ed steel products. Fall River
notes an improved inquiry
for cotton textiles. And so
runs tiie better feeling through
the whole cycle of industries.
As a result of the hand to mouth
policy that has long gov-
erned the buy mg of consum-
ers from tlie largest corporation
to the humblest individual, sup
plies aud commodities are at the
lowest ebb. The markets forse
curities as well as tlio ■,« Tor com
uioditics have been liquidated.
Weak spots have been uncovert d
and the business of the country
is on rock bottom. With bril-
liant crop prospects and the ini
tiation of a banking system that
Will insure continuance of easy
credits, what is inert to prevent
g boom.'”
Citizens of an old college town
in Missouri discouraged the es-
tablishment of a weekly news-
paper as the place had so many
gossips there ,was no need of a
paper. The gossips with the
aid of the telephone disseminate
all the news, and a good
deal more. It is said to be a
staid old town, commercially,
which can easily be imagined.
Congress is going to investi-
gate the merits of the ‘‘telepost,”
a mechanical telegraph dvevice
which the promoters claim is su-
perior to the telegraph as it
transmits messages more
rapidly than the latter sys-
tem. A committee of five sena-
tors, including the chairman of
tlie postofiice committee, Senator
Bankhead of Alabina, has been
appointed to make the investiga-
tion, and if found to be vvliat the
owners claim for ii it will be
made an adjunct to the postal
system by the government. Its
operation in connection w ith tlie
postal system it is believed will
enable tlie government to control
the telegraph business of the
country.

NOTICE ME USERS
The ice man leaves the
office about 7 o’clock in the
morning, and delivers ice to
the business houses first, giv-

He then starts on his regular

your orders before 9 o’clock.
Don’t wait until you see the
ice wagon pass to ordqr your

work and leaves you the
worry of waiting late for
your ice.

war, which is so imminent, you

war preparation policy was in-
augurated by President Roose-

one would think it would “go
