SIZZLING STATISTICS
If you can say that when your sober, you’ll hardly
be able to say it after you read over the staggering
statistics which have recently been issued by Director
of Prohibition Woodcock on one hand and by the Asso
eition Against the Prohibition Amendment on the
other. Its a thirsty job reading 'em over and we are
now dry and panting but we must not falter in our
sworn duty to keep the public enlightened. After you
wade through the following forest of kegs, bottles and
decanters you’ll agree that you know as much about it
as we do And you’ll be dry too.
Woodcock says that after a “scholarly and unbias
ed effort to find the truth,” his department calculates
that during the year ending June 30, 1930 the total
amount of beverage liquor produced in the United
States was 876,320.718 gallons, consisting of 73,386,718
gallons of spirits, otherwise known as moonshine, and
802,924,000 gallons of wine and beer, otherwise known
as home brew.
The director then goes on to say that in the year
1911, B. P. (Before Prohibition) the total amount of
all hquors consumed in the United States was 2,256,
272,765 gallons, thus pointing to the wonderful falling
off in liquor production or consumption since the 18th
amendment was added to our wonderfully strong con
stitution. They claim that if we didn't have prohibition
we would be spending between three billion and seven
billion dollars for liquor today.
Now, if you've got that we’ll turn to the figures
of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment.
They say that if we want to we can now consume any
part of 1,100,000,000 gallons of moonshine and home
brew, available in these United States being made per
year. They say that costs us $2,848,000,000, but we pay
it. They say that there is no justification for Woody’s
thought that we would be spending seven billion dol
lars for booze if the country was wide open and that
two and one-half billions would be a fair estimate.
Now there you have it from two impeachable
sources. Write your own ticket.
YOUNG BLOOD TELLS
While lots of people hereabouts bewail so-called j
lack of opportunity and do most of their mining and ;
lumbering and fishing around a hot stove in the win- j
ter time, or put the newest upstart on the pan and :
roast the tar out of him, there are a chosen few of the
younger generation who are actually doing things.
Take George Lindsay for instance out at Mile 29 j
where he has a mink farm and where he is getting j
underway in the lumber business George has been I
plugging quietly away for some time, going on his
own and hitting some of the hard spots. Now, how
ever, he is getting on his feet.
He’s got a sawmill that soon will be humming on
a big tie contract. He also saws rough lumber for the
Bureau of Public Roads and for general consumption.
He is putting in a planing mill and will soon be hand
ling finished lumber for the general trade. Evidently ,
this comes under the head of a new industry. i
Its now one day from Los Angeles to New York i
on a palatial air liner in a comfortable chair watching i
the clouds go by. Tor orrow it will be Seward to New j
York in two days, the night between, lulled in the car-!
essing billows of the air deeps,—what 1
Now if Hoover would put the presidential yacht j
Mayflower back in commission he could give a few!
men a job. Whoever heard of a country as big, and;/
rich as ours without a private yacht, or something, for I
official entertainment or for the relaxation of its chief!
executive. There is such a thing as false economy.

LONDON, Nov. 1, (^—Be
cause charred bits of the dirigi- j
ble R-101 log were all the search- ■
ers could find after the giant
airship was destroyed by fire in j
France on October 5, widows of
the 48 victims were asked to
produce copies of letters written j
by their husbands concerning .
the dirigible.
Loss of the log in the fire was
made known at the govern
ment’s public inquiry into the
disaster, by fire.
William Jowitt, attorney gen- j
eral who made the appeal for
aid in procuring documentary
evidence bearing on the condi
tion of the ship, anticipates ob
taining considerable knowlege!
thru this medium.
