' ' 0"l TODAY and | TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stock bridge ) | Churches . . . now uniting I l? on the hilltop above my faun stands an old white church with 21 taperiug spire, in which religion* .ser vices have been held J'or nearly 150 years. When it was bui't by the C:?n grcgationalists, the few families of Baptists in the village started a litt c church of their own, hut more than a hundred years ngo they came to the sensible conclusion that th-.-y didn t need two ehjH'ehiH. so t h.? eoii^regji tirus merged. There have been 110 dc noniinational differences in that re mote corner of New Knglaud since then. - In Kng'and the other d'ty the three branches of the Methodist church agreed to drop their doctrinal dif ferences and unite in one church or ganization. The northern and south ern divisions of some of the Amer ieau denominations which were split by the OivH War are beginning to reunite. The Christian denomination and the Congregat ionalists have lately merged, Contrary to the prevailing notion, nu mbership in both the I'rotcstan1 and Catholic churches" in America is increasing.

Kvery year the authorities in cad department tell each French farmer; how many acres of winter wheat and j how many acres of sprint; wheat Irj may how. There is no surplus proline- 1 tion. Bakers are not allowed to use j more than 3 per c< nt of iinporl< <! wheat in their bread. That is oti" rea son why the wheat growers : f F'-imc, are petting $1.-10 a bushel H?r jfieir' ;>roriuct this year as against the 50' cents or less which the American farmer gets. ) t'nfortunately, under oui> Ameri can system we >cani|ot exercise any. sufli control over individual farmers. | Each farmer will grow what he pleas-} es,| regardless of the probable market.. ; 'Nobody 'can help the farmers but the i farmers themselves.

C., Oct. 8.? No* that All of the prim&riea for the non> ination of Congressional candidate* are over the Wets and the Dry? are beginning to inquire into their atti tudes on the question of repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol stead Act. Nobody can foretell as yet when the* proposed modification of the Eighteenth Amendment will be ?ub initted to the people of the vaHous states for action. There is still pos sible doubt that three-quarters of the states will go wet when this refer endum takes place. But only ono thing seems reasonably certain. That is that there will be a vigorous at tempt made, as soon as Congress meets again in December, to amend th?* Volstead Act to legalize 4 per cent beer. The present prohibition law de clares beer of more than one-half of one per cent alcohol to be intoxicat ing. The old fashioned beer that nsed to be sold ho freely in prc-prohibition days contained about 7 ^ per cent of alcohol. A great deal of the so called beer that is being sold in speakeasies today contains alcohol up \<i 20 per cent. There isn't any ques tion about 20 per cent beer being intoxicating. But a very strong showing will bo made to prove that 4 per cent beer is not intoxicating up to the limits of the amount of beer that an or dinary individual can drink at one time, and the brewery interests are very hopeful that they can get this percentage of beer legalized. In that case, however, they do not anticipate the return of the saloon. Plans are all completed for the pro duction of bottled beer to be sold mainly in drug stores, over the soda fountain, or delivered by grocers at resideofes,.,The price tp.JSoe consumer, dependent upon the tax imposed, will probably be from fifteen cents a bottle upward. How much effect the legalizing of 4 per cent beer would hnve upon the whole prohibition agi tntion is another question, bower er. Legislation Program Ilegardless of the outcome of the election, programs of legislation for next winter are beginning to take shape, since it will be the same Con gress up to next March that sat last winter. And right up at the top of the list of new revenue measnres is the general sales tax. The state of Mississippi has now had more than six months experience with this tax, which every consumer pays as he spends his money. It ha? caused no excitement of any kind in Mississippi. Everybody has taken to it kindly, and there are no reports of unwillingness to pay the tax. It is producing an:plc revenue for the state Congressional leaders of both par ties are said now to have come fully around to the idea that the sales tax on a national scale is the soundest schools, water supply and health (Continued on last page) ORGANIZE P.T.-A.
