EXIT "MOONSHINE"
AFTER LONG FIGHT
Slowly But Surely Illicit
Whisky Making DiSap-
pears in South.

Moonshiners are rapidly becoming
linked with the past, according to the
statement of David A. Gates, chief Of
the internal revenue agents of the
Treasury Dep rtment. Mr.. Gates says
that througho5g the whole moonshining
district in the Southern States there are
not ten legalized saloons at which the
Illicit product ray be sold. Men have
decided that the laws OF the United
States are 10 be obeyed and all OF the
resistance the wild and desperate
mountaIneers can offer is incapable Of
stopping the gradual incoming of the
tide that is drowning them one by one.
Probably the first Of the moonshiners
were the -1en who brought about the
whisky rebsla1n in western Pennsyl-
vania. Gathering in the hills, they
brewed shelr frey liquor In violation of
all laws, until they were finally crushed
out OF existence by the Federal troops.
The seed sown by these men. however,
did not tail on barren ground.
Throughout The country, especially in
Kentucky, Virginia, and the Carolinas,
the "wildcatters'' have collected in col
onies.
Since the first rebellion against the
whisky tax over 100 years ago, the Fed
eral troops have never been called out
TO suppress an uprising.
The rapidly with which the liquor
question has forced itself forward In
politics is one Of the main reasons for
the gradual decrease of rnoonshining es-
"a Adjustments. Tennessee went dry last
fail; many counties in Kentucky are
now numbered among the white rib
boners.' and Virginia is, for the most
part. opposed 20 the sale OF or traffic in
/ liquor.
Everything Is gradually helping 10
make the historic and romantic Occu-
patton OF a moonshiner a memory and
a faint memory at that.

was little complaint from sellers, the

now show Ice gain over a week ago
and some choice 500 to 900 Id steers

950-lb steers went at $3.50. Several
lots Of we'll bred $50 to 900 ID steers
have sold at S4.75@4.s5. while dealers
say a choice load of 11OO-lb feeders
would easily command $500 Cattle
which have gone below $40 in late
days have not possessed much quality
and neither did they carry very much
weight.
Eastern feeders have furnished best
outlet all week, but there was also sat-
isfactory demand from nearby wes-
tern quarters AS the spring season
approaches farmers are inclined to
hold back light cattle and as a result
trade this week has not been as liber-
ally supplied with such kinds and this
has tended to create better selling

The HOG Situation.
Dive Stock World.)

Olive Stock WORLDLY
1t is evident that packers will make
"a very determined effort to prevent any
further advance in the hog market and
If any advantage is given them they
will lhammer prices down to a much
lower level. They are not getting the
margin of profit out of the deal that
they want, altho the demand is strong
for fresh pork. AS long as there Is an
outlet big enough to take all the pro-
duct. packers will have little chance
of scaling down values, but just as
soon as the balance gets in buyers
favor there will be some quick pruning.
Judging from the character of the hogs
coming to market now some predict
heavier receipts during the next two
or three months tho there are others

clare with equal emphasis that offer
