BUYING FARMS WITH WHISKY
An Innovation in the Liquor Bus
mess in Kentucky.

If you have farm or house or mort
gage which you do not feel like carry
ing longer and would like to trade for
whiskey there is a firm in Chicago that
will gladly accommodate you.
This is an innovation in the whisky
business, this Chicago house, and it
has created such stir in whisky cir
Giles that some of the trade papers
speak in no gentle terms of it. The
company was organized short time
ago and was hardly known in this Sec
ton of the country until Saturday,
says a Louisville, Ken, dispatch,
when a representative visited Louis
Vile and attempted to buy 1000 barrels
of Kentucky whiskey. This he propos-
ed to blend and after placing his own
stamp brand on it sell to the public and
and take in payment almost anything
the public had to offer.
A local di5tiller became interested in
the company and asked for an explana-
ton of it's workings. 1t was readily
furnished and the distillnr told a re-
porter all about it, 1t is operated in
this manner
If you are a salOonkeeper and hap
pen to need say twenty barrels OF
whisky, you write the Chicago firm
that you will take the whisky and give
a mortgage on your property or farm
in payment. The company investigates
and if you are found all right it sends
you certificate calling for the number
of barrels you want, telling you that
the whisky will be forwarded when
you pay the government tax of Sl.lO
per gallon. You return the certificate
with the tax money and the whisky is
yours. The company takes your farm
or mortgage and disposes of it, and
thereby makes its proht

CONGER's PART OF THE LOOT
The Minister to China Has Pre-

Minister Conger has presented to

We are not at war with China. Were
