W. C. T. U. NOTES.
MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter.
The wets who preach modification
on one hand and no return of the
saloon on the other, thus trying to
befog the issue, are having a hard
time of it They evidently discount
the intelligence of the American
people. Lincoln is sometimes cred
ited with the saying, "You can fool
some of the people all of the time,
and you can fool all of the people
some of the time, but you can't fool
all of the people all of the time."
And the wets are finding that the
part of the people they can fool all
of the time is becoming smaller and
smaller.
Some of the wets loudly proclaim
that the solution of the liquor ques
tion is in permitting the manufac
ture of beer containing 2.75 per
cent of alcohol. They claim that
such beer is in fact not intoxicating,
hence it is entirely within the power
of congress to modify the Volstead
act so as to permit the manufacture
of such beer without violating the
18th amendment since the amend
ment is aimed at intoxicating liq-
But, you will note that they
WHERE DO YOU SWIM?
From the State Board of Health.
Swimming is unquestionably one
of the most delightful and healthful
of exercises and should be encour
aged in every way. It not only
provides a very enjoyable form of
recreation but it might and often
does, prove of very practical use.
Where to swim should be given
careful consideration. The Willam
ette river below Cottage Grove for
the greater part is polluted and
swimming is not safe from a health
standpoint There are hundreds of
rivers and lakes throughout tne
state, some near by and some far
away, which are frequented by
swimmers or bathers. The water
in many of these is relatively safe,
in others it is not Short of having
a test of the water at the point in
which you expect to swim and at a
time when this body of water and
its surrounding cottages and build
ings are being used, there is no way
of knowing definitely the purity of
the water but there are a number
of points of observation which will
be helpful in determniing the prob
able safety of a swimming place.
1. Always remember that a water
is not safe to swim in unless it is
safe to drink.
2. Don't place confidence in the
appearance of the water. A water
mav look perfectly clear and still
be grossly polluted.
3. Pay particular attention to the
location of the lake or stream and
its drainage. What are the possi
bilities of pollution from cottages?
Are there streams running into the
body of water in which you intend
to swim, and if so do they contain
water of known purity or may they
be polluted by drainage from the
territory through which they run?
In addition to having safe water the
swimmer should safeguard himself
with respect to a number of other
points.
Pick-Up Ball Tossers
Lose to Condon, 18-5
With but nine men in uniform,
forming an aggregation the mem
bers of which had never been to
gether before in other words a
pick-up team made necessary be
cause of the absence of many regu
lars at various celebration points,
Heppner put up a bold face but suf
fered a severe trouncing at Condon
Sunday afternoon. The score was
orobablv 18-5. but this is not given
as authentic as the absence of the
official tally books made it neces
sary for the score to be kept on a
rough piece of cardboard.
The game lasted only seven in
nines as the stands became weary
of this type of entertainment, and
exhibited a desire to witness tne
wild horse bucking, scheduled as a
part of the celebration program for
the day.
Pitcher Aune, though working
nicely, was somewhat overworked
for lack of support and Bobby Tur
ner, shortstop, went into the box in
the seventh. Fred Hoskins went in
to receive him, having been on first
and together they held the Condon
boys nicely; With the exception of
Aune and Turner, all the positions
were occupied by strange faces.
There were the two Palmer boys
from Lexington, one of whom
caught and the other played left
field. Manager Ferguson was on
second, "Doc" Shearer on third, Jap
Crawford in right, and "Red" Doe
his proper name was not learned
in the middle pasture.
Condon's regular bunch was in
tact with the addition of Pete and
Bud Fisk who are more familiar
to fans in the Arlington uniform.
"Kewpie" Clow was in the box for
them.

tent of such beer is almost i.ou per
cent by volume. It is estimated that
three fourths to four fifths of the
beer sold in the days of the licensed
saloon contained only 3.50 per cent
of alcohol by volume. And every
body who can remember those days
knows that men became intoxicated
upon that kind of beer.
If congress should modify the law
so as to allow beer containing 2.75
per cent of alcohol by weight it
would necessarily need to declare
such beer non-intoxicating. If a
liquor were declared non-intoxicating,
there could be no regulation of
its sale. It could be sold anywhere
to anybody. Men, women, and chil
dren could buy it just as they now
buy a soda at the soft drink parlor.
We would then have all the evils of
the old beer saloon less the regula
tion, such as it was in the days of
tne licensed saloon.
It is well to remember, also, that
it was not the temperance "fanatics"
who originated the idea that liquor
containing one half of one per cent
of alcohol by volume is intoxicating.
That standard was written into the
law at the request, or demand, of
the brewers in the good old days.
They were willing to pay a tax, pro
vided that all drinks which con
tained any appreciable quantity of
alcohol were subject to the tax.
They arrived at the dividing line
between intoxicating liquor and
non-intoxicating liquor at one half
of one per cent by volume. So, when

timber and the main to bring its
waters to town completed through
the people assuming a heavy In
debtedness. But the water brought
relief it was much better.
Time waned and Nature proved
not always provident A series of
dry seasons; springs feeding the
creek ceased to flow. Reservoir fa
cilities were Inadequate to provide
during these times. Then there were
the autumn and spring rresnets
which filled the water with silt,
making it unpalatable. Additional
reservoir space was provided. But
still there remained the creek farm
ers who desired the water for irri
gation and who must be given con
sideration: and the silt also re
mained.
What to do? More water must be
had. To get more surface water a
dam must be built That would be
very expensive, and the silt must
yet be taken from the water. A
filtration plant would be a large
item of expense to build and maintain.
It was a grim lot of councilmen
who with the mayor two years ago
decided to drill a well, with a pray
er in their hearts that the sugges
tion of someone who thought an
artesian flow possible, might be
borne out. Imagine their joy-
shared by the city's entire populace
when news reached town the at-
ternoon of Tuesday, April 22, that

Flowing 700.000 gallons every 24

not yet perfect, and the water may

improvement of her water supply
