However, "John Barleycorn," so-called for hard liquors of all kinds, received the solar plexus Monday night, and while there will be some fiddle-faddling about beers and light wines, the whisky business is doomed.

Many people are complaining of children playing on the concrete pavement on Grow avenue, and parents should warn their children of the great danger in so doing. While a driver of a car might not be running faster on the pavement than on other streets, the pave on Grow avenue is very narrow. In passing another car he trys to keep on the pavement; and children playing along side the pave might think they were in safety, but in the confusion of one car turning out for another, it is very easy for a driver to misjudge the distance or for the moment loose partial control of the car, which might result in the los3 of a life or lives of some of these little ones.

Auto drivers, as a rule, take every precaution in passing youngsters, cut it would be very easy not to see them or the children fail to hear the signal and the result be serious. It should be borne in mind that when one is off the pave he is not off the street. Parents, warn your children, and explain to them the danger of playing on this street it is your duty, and a little warning now and then would soon teach them not to play there; or, better still, fix them a eand pile in the back yard and encourage them to play there. It would fee well for all, both young and old, to fully understand that a "street" extends from curb to curb, not necessarily simply the width of the pave. The width of Grow avenue is much wider than the 16-foot concrete Toadway.

It is better to be safe than sorry, and 'should an accident occur, and The Democrat had not given timely warning, the editors would feel remiss in their duty. Little lives are very precious.

The Farmers' C3-operative Association, under the purchasing managership of red Wilmarth and the Board of Directors, shipped their first carload of feed to Montrose last week, ai a saving of many dollars to the farmers. It was a carload of Brewer's grain, w-th 23.71 per cent protein at $48.00 er ton. Inasmuch as there has been no grass prices on uten it has been thought unadvisable to proceed with the purchasing of such feeds as gluten at the present time.

"This has been the ruling of the internal revenue bureau for years and we are presuming that is what is meant in the wartime prohibition act as passed by Congress." Palmep said, however, that it is not his intention to order wholesale arrests at present. "We are endeavoring to get an immediate authoritative court decision as to what constitutes intoxicating beer in a case being triad recently in Baltimore," he said. "In the meantime, district attorneys have not been authorized to ignore the sale of beer, nor have they ben instructed to make arrests. My statement of Monday night is the only instructions that have gone out. "When Congress defines what constitutes intoxicating beer our course will be clear.

"The first test case the department had in New York was lost. It was held by the court that the question of what constitutes an intoxicant was a question of fact in each instance. "It would mean that if we arrested thousands over the eountry, in light of the present court rulings, that we would have to make a jury case of each arrest. "In the meantime we contend that the "sale of beer is in violation of the law. If a court decision is delayed or Congress is slow in passing fourth there.

Beer and, in some instances, even light wines, were still being sold in many cities, according to reports received. These advices indicated that there was much confusion as to what Attorney General Palmer would do about enforcing the law in regard to beer containing 2.75 per cent, alcohol.

There was no cloudiness, however. about Palmer's attitude toward hard liquors. He aianonunced flatly that all dealers in such products would be prosecuted.

Opinions varied widely as to what constituted complete demobilization, drys asserting it would not be complete until the army and navy were both down to a peace footing, which would carry war-time prohibition right into constitutional, permanent prohibition next January. Wets believed it, would come in time to give the nation a few more drinking weeks before liquor becomes unconstitutional. Wartime prohibtion was voted by-Congress as a rider to the agricultural appropriation bill of 1918. It was intended to conserve foodstuffs which were going into the manufacture of drink. Representative Bark-ley, Kentucky, introduced the rider.

According to figures gathered by the anti-saloon league and other interested agencies, 125,000 saloons failed to open their doors Tuesday or opened only for the sale of beer and light wines.
