CARRY DAMP NAMES ON DRY SOCIETY ROLiv Old John Barleycorn never stood very well with the Modern Woodmen ! of America. Long ago, perhaps even before the ceelbrated Mr. Volstead be gan wearing long pants, the said J. B., together with all his kith and kin, and even his most intimate associates, were outlawed by that fraternal in surance Society. So now, afer the constitution has been amended and the country’s ab-so lute-ly dry, it is a trifle disconcerting in looking over the Modern Woodmer list of more than a million members to find such names as Beer, Sourbeer Booze, Crow, Redrye Champagne, Wine, Early wine, Lightwine, Rich wine, and Sourwine. Of course, if you prefer something soft, there’s Soda water, Pop, Milk, Coffee, Tarwater, Clearwater, Freshwater, and even Rain water, than which there’s nothing soft er in the beverage line. One might ex pect to find Drinkwater a member in good standing, but it is not so clear how the regulations were stretched to let in Drinkwine and Drinkall.
