that the executive head of the High

LIQUOR IMPROPERLY
BRANDED c0NF|ScATfQ
Packages Numbering 2T5 Found in
Southern Express Company's
Possession Here.

Inspectors of the Department of
Prohibition yesterday discovered 275
packages Of ardent spirits in the Office
of the Southern Express Company
that were improperly labeled, or not
branded at all, The spirits were con-
fiscated by the department, and will
be disposed of according to law,
which doubtless will mean that they
will be destroyed.
While such conffscations have been
made in practically every section OF
the state, it Is the first time that such
a large quantity has been discovered
IN Richmond. The express company
here cannot be held responsible for
such packages Improperly marked,
but Commissioner Peters has advised
w, A. Michigan. agent OF the COM
pany. that no delivery can be made
of them. and to exercise the greatest
care in this respect.
Some of the packages contained
spirits in excess OF the quantity al
lowed by law, others not sufficiently
marked, and still others containing
liquor which bore no marks to in
dicate their contents. This Is a mat
ter with which the consignor Is con-
cerned. and since they are out of
the state It will be impossible for
the Department of Prohibition to take
any steps in the matter.
Commissioner Peters. however. last
night issued warning to all persons
not to receive ardent spirits that were
not branded according to law. Any
one found guilty of this will be prose-
cuted. 1t is possible that prosecu
tons may follow deliveries which
have already been made to persons
by the express company. of liquor
which the consignee knew to be
marked improperly, or not marked at
all

department.
When men connected with the
Highway Department receive offers
elsewhere the commissioner has no
option but 10 let them go. Their
salaries are fixed by statute They
may be in the midst Of continuing
work for which their local acouaint-
ance and experience in the depart
ment may have peculiarly fitted them.
They may be worth great deal more
to the state than they are receiving
but the commissioners hands are
tied
1t Is extremely difficult to maintain
an effective working organization I'M
der such conditions. We believe the
Stale highway commissioner sub

should have power to fix all salaries
in his department The maximum he
may now pay his assistants. as we

who returned today on the liner Or

wool.
You are soon going to pay $50 for

paying $26 for" he said.
England has contracted for every
pound Of wool that Australia can pro-
duce.y and now she has called upon
New Zealand for the full product of
that great sheep-raising country. And
all OF this great supply is necessary
for the mass of the people OF England
and for the millions of soldiers who
are flghting under the British flag
Many times the amount of weol
that Is used in ordinary times Is now
being consumed and more will be
needed as the war progresses. Our
own sheepraising States do not con-
tribuate drop in the bucket to the
demand of the world. so we are in
bad shape"
