IIOMH HKKW AM) KRAIN I'OWKR A veritable tidul wuv of inU'llcctiial energy was unleashed liy the ii(li)ition of the eighteenth iiniendment, reniyrks the .Saturday Evening Post. Contemplating the activitien of "mill ions of resourceful and self-reliant Americans" since they were deprived of their favorite beverages, the Post philosophizes as f allows: "There can he no particular impertinence in making it friendly estimate of the sum of their united efforts and in ask- - jng if the same amount of zealous thought and personal activ. ity turned into other channels might not, in the long run, yield them rather larger and more satisfactory returns; for no candid critic can deny that the aggregate product of their intellectual ufTort daily corked up in bottles, carboys and demipohns has reached dimensions of real economic importance. Indeed, it is not hard to believe that if all tne new thought )ower now be ing devoted to homemade beverages could be rounded up antl broken to harness it would suffice to invent and establish a . workable league of nations,solve the problems of capital and labor and materially speed up a lagging millennium," Here, indeed, is a theme worthy of the highest thought of economists, philosophers and statesmen. If all that brain-power could really be applied to constructive and beneficial purposes, lint every student of errant human nature knows the futility of any such hope. , The home-brewer is utilizing his lofty intel ligent for brewing purposes precisely because he is more in terested in brewing than in establishing a league of nations or solving the labor problem, and because he sees his millennium through the bottom of , a glass, darkly. The fact is that civilized man has. always had a tremend ous lot of power to waste, and if he doesn't waste in one way lie is pretty sure to do so in another. Vices are maitdy a means of getting rid of a troublesome superfluity of physical and mental energy. Men drink and smoke up anil gamble up their extra brain power, or expend it in other ways, almost as much ' fts they use it constructively. Homo-brewing is merely the lat est manifestation. They might take to gardening, or scientific baking, or industrial chemistry, or home-weaving or furniture making, or the study of mathematics and astronomy, if only a paternal government would prohibit such occupations. thin evening are auked to meet at the Foley hotel at C:l!i lhi evening, ac cording to announcement by Secretary ('. 11.

Karl Stoddard, president of the Country Club, who will be in charge of the meeting thin evening, hus uv rmiifed a special program of music for the occasion. It is probable that the directors of the Union Stock Show will be gueats of the club this even ing. They are in l.u (.irunde und vicinity in the interest of the stock show today and have been invited to attend the meeting. CHEVHOLETS DROP IN PRICE True, rf j Gardner, p; (Jrau,t, c.
