EVEN AS YOU AND I
(With Apologies to James and Rudyard.)
Did you say that a fool had made his
prayer?
Even as you and I,
Ah, no, life’s promises are more fair
And they do not materialize out of thin
air, .
If we have that faith, uncommon and rare,
Even as you and IL
For the “fool” that builds on credits, too,
Even as you and I,
Gets more out of life if he trusts the few,
And they in the end, their trust renew
By filling your heart with gladness anew,
Even az you and I,
Oh, the years we waste, but the tears, why
waste?
If the work of our head and hand
Don’t bring the material comforts we
crave
Because on Life's Highway, we knew of
one knave;
And our trust and our smiles and our
comfort must save
Cause one did not understand.
So the years may come; but a fool
Oh no!
Though the credits go to smash,
For the soul that trusts and has no fear,
Is the one that in darkness does not peer
And wonder, what will be in a year
If he doesn’t get the cash.
MAKING NEW DRINK
FOR THIRSTY PUBLIC.
Bootleggers Now Turn te Jam and
Water as ‘Foreign Wine, Reaping
Greater Profit and Keeping
Within Prohibition Statute.
Bootleggers fattening on prohibi-
tion “within the law” and far more
profitably than if they violated the
Volstead act is the latest amazing de-
velopment in connection with Amer:
ica’s illicit thirst.
Astute bootleggers are quitting the
hard hootch traffic and turning to un-
sophisticated unfermented grapejuice
in order to “get the big money” eas-
ier, quicker and infinitely safer. The
new technique for separating those
whose birthrate, according to Barnum,
is one every minute from their easy
money is the imported “wine” grape-
juice racket.
This ingenious scheme is simplic-
ity itself. It almost sells itself. It is
easy to start and is easily worked,
according to the most modern high-
pressure American methods, with con-
stantly changing crews of salesmen
combing the field. And even leading
citizens have fallen for their mislead-
ing statements.
There are a number of companies
which specialize exclusively in selling
so-called “imported” grapejuice. It is
sold direct to individuals. The min-
imum order is $50 for a 10-gallon
keg. A hint of the huge net profits
may be gathered from the fact that
the salesmen are paid a commission
of $32 on a $50 order.
The big selling point is that the
purchaser is really obtaining chol&e
foreign vintage wines dirt cheap. I'he
imported grape juice conforms to all
Federal and State laws as far as al-
coholic content goes, when delivered.
But it will automatically ferment and
quickly turn from imported grape-
juice into wine.
The “catch” is the word “imported.”
No wine grapes are being imported
into the United States in bulk and no
grapejuice iz being imported in bulk.
The companies selling so-called im-
ported “wine” grapejuice, ‘“guaran-
teed” to turn into imported wine,
make their product right in. New
York according to the simple and in-
expensive formula of just adding wat-
er to imported “grape jam” which
comes in ornate one-gallon cans,
mostly from Italy.
This imported “grape jam” or
grape syrup is a conserve of the
hardest consistency, containing about
90 per cent sugar and the balance so-
called grape and other concoctions.
It comes in two varieties, red and
white.
Ten-gallon kegs of New York City
water added to cheap imported grape
jam have high sounding vintage
names conferred upon them on the
salesman’s order blanks, and in the
sales talk the old familiar names are
freely drawn upon.
The high sugar content does cause
fermentation automatically to set in
after delivery and an appreciable al-
coholic content develops as promised.
But the result is far from the expect-
ed “genuine” burgundy, sherry or to-
kay. All “vintages” taste alike, for
they all come out of the same can.
The fast working salesman usually
approaches a business man who has
either forgotten what vintage wines
jaste like or who never drank in his
e.
“How would you like to have some
genuine burgundy, etc?” is apt to be
his opener, rattling on in an impres-
sive list of seductive names.
In order to clinch the sale, the sales-
man carries some kind of a sample,
supposedly only 80 days old. The
good samples are, as a rule, obtained
from sacramental wine stores or il-
licit sources and fortified with addi-
tional alcohol to induce sales.
No repeat orders result, and no
repeat business is expected in the
“imported” racket. The big idea is
a quick one-time clean up. Some of
these concerns have found it wise to
change their trade name at frequent
intervals. One company changed it
five times within one year to induce
sales of “imported” wine grapejuice.
It is an interesting fact that the
“imported” racket is worked chiefly
outside of the metropolitan area. And
the big territory is between 100 and
250 miles from New York City.
Some of these concerns advertise
almost daily, but not Sundays, for
salesmen. The reason they do not
advertise on Sundays is that they do
not want the higher type that reads
and answers or ads. Men
around the age of 35 are preferred.
Big money in the form of immediate
commissions is the prospect held out.
And transportation is promised.
The men ‘applying for these jobs
are generally stranded and broke.
And this is the class deliberately
sought. They are given a railroad
ticket stamped “To Order,” which
prevents a refund being obtained for
it.
They are told to go to a hotel, reg-
ister and go right out and solicit busi-
ness, and that the demand for their
product is so great that they can eas-
ily make two or three sales a day.
The salesman operating on a shoe-
string is very apt to find when he
starts out soliciting that this town
has been worked over and over again
under different names. He realizes
that he is up against it. But he is
forced to make a sale in order to pay
his hotel bill and transportation.
Leading citizens, prominent busi-
ness men, bankers, professional men,
etc., frequently give orders to this
type of “wine” salesman out of sym-
pathy. But they are not always suc-
cessful in landing a lifesaver, as many
up-State hotels know, to their sor-
TOW.
Often those who tried to work the
“imported” wine grape juice racket
have to beg or steal a ride back to
town. As a result, one crew is al-
ways traveling to the job and one
coming back while one is operating on
the ground.
The typical sales talk runs some-
thing like this:
“I represent the —— company, the
largest of its kind in the world, which
is importing wine grapes from Eu-
rope and pressing and blending them.
“We can ship you a keg of
grape juice direct from Europe,” etc.
When the keg arrives it generally
proves to be paraffin-lined and made
by a Jersey City cooperage company,
the paraffin lining being to prevent
leakage, in lieu of the more costly
non-leakable kegs.
Or the salesman says:
“I represent a large company which
can ship you fine, genuine imported
wine. We can ship you a keg of wine
grape juice from Italy direct and de-
livered to your home. This is of non-
alcoholic content when it arrives. But
if you knock the bung out and leave
it stand for three weeks it will give
you pre-war wine.”
If the salesman is not successful,
and when he realizes he has been
sent out on a dead horse proposition,
he is apt to go to extremes in his des-
peration and try something like this:
“I represent a large foreign wine
company. We are unloading a few
hundred kegs of real pre-war Ital-
ian wine. Here's a sample. All it
costs is $50 for a 10-gallon keg.”
As a rule he collects his money in
advance. And on arrival it proves to
be grape juice made from grape con-
serve by adding water in a paraffin-
lined keg from Jersey City.
There are six companies operating
the “imported” wine grape juice rack-
et out of New York, and five of them
are not over four months old under
their present names.
The reason the metropolitan area
is not worked systematically is be-
cause too many complaints would
pour in to the authorities.
Incidentally, anybody can start in
the “imported” wine grape juice busi-
ness “by buying the cans of imported
“grape jam” or conserve and mixing
it with water themselves.
The wholesale price of the one-gal-
lon can of “jam” is less than $2. And
water being inexpensive, there is a
handsome margin of profit in the 10-
gallon keg at $50, even after paying
the salesman a $32 commission.
It is an interesting fact that while
big men are ready and generous pa-
trons of prohibited products and like-
wise of the perfectly legal potential
| alcoholic beverages, such as genuine
i vintage “wine” grape juices pressed
from American grapes and skillfully
blended by expert wine makers, they
do not as a rule fall for the “import-
ed” racket, for they instinctively look
up the vendors in Dun’s or Brad-
street’s. The average buyer of “im-
ported” wine grape juice is not the
intelligent buyer.

Construct Hot-bed for Plant Growing.
Many people prefer to grow their
early vegetables and flower plants
for the home garden instead of pur-
chasing them. A good way to do this
is in a hotbed, says Charles K. Hal-
lewell, Philadelphia county agent.
When once constructed it will last a
number of years. The size of the
hotbed will vary according to need.
Usually it is covered with standard
three by six-foot hotbed sash, in which
case the six feet or the length of the
sash becomes the width of the hotbed
and the length of the hotbed may be
any multiple of three. Sash may be
purchased from any manufacturer of
greenhouse material.
A southern exposure with maxi-
mum sunlight is best for the hotbed,
which should be protected from the
northwest winds. The north wall or
side should be at least twelve to eigh-
teen inches in height and the south
side six to twelve inches high. Use
one and a half to two-inch boards or
planks. This gives the hotbed a six-
inch drop or exposure to the south.
The manure pit is usually the same
size as the hotbed. The depth of the
pit or excavation may vary from eigh-
teen to twenty-four inches, depending
upon the length of time artificial heat
is needed.
Line the sides and bottom of the
pit with old boards as insulation to
conserve as much heat from the ma-
nure as possible. Fresh horse ma-
nre is best. It should be in the first
stage of heating. Fill the pit with
manure to within four inches of the
top, tramping it thoroughly. Add
four inches of rich, fine-sifted soil,
in which the seed is sown. In south-
ern Pennsylvania seed usually is sown
in March and in northern Pennsylva-
pia in April. !
Keep a cheap thermometer in the
hotbed to eliminate guessing at the
temperature. For cabbage, cauli-
flower, lettuce and other cool crops,
have a cloudy-day temperature of 70
to 90 or more degrees Fahrenheit, if
proper ventilation is given. For to-
er warm crops increase this tempera-
ture about 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
