TRAVELERS ARE
DISGUSTED WITH
BONEDRYLAWS
PHILADELPHIA, March 14—Cross
ing the “bone dry" South, tourists
bound for Florida this winter have
been encountering, since January 1,
examples of prohibition. Recently,
■while attempting to stock up a little
oasis of their own, a group of Phila
delphia men came to grief in Georgia.
One of the party said he was surprised
to find that the state authorities
searched the baggage on the trains
and confiscated whatever liquor they
found. Travelers on a steamer
bound for Florida also found, when
the vessel made a brief stop at Savan
nah that the same process was ap
plied, officers boarding the boat and
confiscating any intoxicating liquor
found in the passengers’ possession.
It is related here that recently a
steel safe about to be shipped to
Floridh was filled with bottles of
liquor. When it reached its destina
tion it was found that the safe had
been opened en route and its contents
taken. One citizen, disgusted because
packages he had sent South in vari
ous disguises had been confiscated,
wrote home: “Buy three bottles of
the worst you can find and doBe it
with jalap. Then let them steal it!”
An example of opposite nature, set
forth in the law reports, is attracting
the attention of lawyers who are con
sidering the possibility of compen
sation for liquor owners when Penn
sylvania goes dry. At West Chester
Judge Hause recently was called up
on to decide the claim of a resident
of Coatesville, which is dry, who had
purchased liquor in the adjoining city
of Lancaster, imbibed too freely and
was arrested, his bottled goods being
confiscated by the police.
Without determining the validity
of the confiscatory legislation, the
Chester county jurist ruled that liquor
was not inherently evil such as burg
lar’s tools, counterfeit money or gamb
ling apparatus, and awarded the plain
tiff eight dollars for the liquor that
had been seized and turned over to
the Coatesville hospital.

FARM EXHIBIT
BEING SENT
TO FRANCE
NEW YORK, March 14.—A $60,000
farming exhibit is being shipped this
week to France by the war work coun
cil of the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation to be used for the instruc
tion of thousands of soldiers in the
American expeditionary force, who
want to return to the farms when
their regiments are demobilized. The
exhibit was assembled by the United
States Department of Agriculture at
the request of the war department.
It includes samples of soil from
every county of the United States,
dairy utensils, egg testers, cereal
and corn samples, insecticides and
fungicides, and other material suf
ficient to fill five cars.
With this material will go to France
four government experts to supervise
the setting up of the exhibit and to
prepare for the work of instruction in
France. These experts will remain
with the expeditionary force four
months to teach men assigned from
the army so that the work of instruc
tion can continue as long as the
American troops are held overseas.
A. A. Ormsby, of the department of
agriculture, is in charge of the ex
hibit. It is announced that the ship
ment of this material is the result of
a wide-spread demand among the
fighting men overseas for instruction
in agriculture. Dr. Kenyon L. Butter
field, president of the Massachusetts
Agricultural college and member of
the Y. M. C. A. army education com
mission, has estimated that one-fourth
of the men in the American expedi
tionary force came from the farms of
America and that a similar proportion
of them want to return to the farms
when their military service is ended.
On its arrival in France, the exhibit
will be divided into four parts, loaded
on trucks and moved from camp to
camp for demonstration.
The government will pay the sal
aries of its experts and the Y. M. C. A.
will pay their expenses. It is expected
that the military authorities will as
sign several hundred instructors from
the army to use this exhibit in agri
cultural education. It is announced
that the Y. M. C. A. sent to France in
January more than $700,009'l££th of
text books, part of which bear1 upon
courses of agriculture and that these
courses are open to all fighting men of
the United States as long as they re
main overseas.
Shipment of samples of soil is in
tended to enable the soldier to dis
cover how best to utilize the farm
lands of his home town, whether he
may come from Maine or Oregon.
The bureau of plant industry has con
tributed exhibits showing how to fight
insect pests and fungous diseases of
plant life, and the bureau of animal
Industry has contributed model farm
buildings, dairy and poultry bams,
and silos. By the use of these and
other exhibits, the soldiers will be
taught scientific farm management.
