The poster, which has been pronounced one of the most striking of innumerable representations of the famous dome, is the work of Franklin Booth, a New York artist of wide renown. It will be displayed throughout the country during the Roll Call period, Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, when the Red Cros membership for 1923 will be enrolled.

SEE $ OUR m WINDOWS OHNS SEE OUR WINDOWS HAYTI, MISSOURI MISSOUMAUS MAKING ftUANTITIES OF WINE will be vastly superior to the cotlln varnish the bootleggers handle at great profit and little risk. Jelfcr&on City, Mo., October 17. The scarcity of empty barrels and kegs some weeks ago in this part of the state is now fully explained. A great many people bave been engag ed in gathering the large crop of wild grapes and making homemade wine for winter use. Along the streams in the central part of the state wild grapes grow in immense quantities, and in the past the people left them to the birds and small wild animals fond of such food. Here and there someone would gather a small quan tity for making wine, and, although wine made from wild grajies was al ways said to be of excellent quality, very few cared to go to the trouble of getting their wine in that way. Moreover, with the exception of a few counties, Missouri has never been much on using wine of any kind, a majority of those with a lean ing to alcoholic drinks preferring something else. Early this fall a great many peo ple in this part of the state, includ ing those living in tho cities, decid ed to make their own wine. "Wild grapes cost nothing but the pick ing, and usually large quantities of them went to waste. There was a rush for kegs and barrels early in the season suitable for holding wine, and in a very short time the supply was entirely exhausted, something that has never happened in the past. All kinds of vessels were pressed Into service, and dealers sent for large shipments of empty barrels and kegs direct to the manufacturers. rresuniably the trade has been sup plied, and for once few of these grapes will go to waste. Tho birds and little wild animals may ho short on this kind of feed, but the men who huve discovered a consuming thirst for wild-grape wine will have their appetites satisfied, and at a very small cost. Some of these grapes are to be found in the tops of tall trees, and thebo have been left for the birds and animals, but for the most part they are to be found near the streams or lakes, on bushes and can be reached without a great deal of trouble. What the attitude of tho prohibi tion enforcement officers will be to wards this new method of evading prohibition is not known at the present time. Perhaps they are waiting until the wine ferments and becomes palatable. At present thero is no sort of doubt that they have much more than they can do in trying to make life a burden to the bootleggers and moonshiners in this part of the State,few of whom have come under the heel of the law. It is said that those who have provided themselves with largo quantities of wild grape wlno will not engage In the bootlegging business, although it Is believed that the wine product FAMOUS LAST WORDS "I wonder if it's loaded.
