Atlanta, April 20-At last it has
remained for the entrance of the

to furnish the first argument in his
tory why the moonshiners of north
Georgia and other mountain regions
should turn their corn into meal in
stead of into liquor.
One of the federal government s

mountaineer regarded the right to
make liquor as one OF the inalien-

it-w.ly should he pay a license to
distill whiskey any more than to

their corn supply because the people
of the Unitd Stats and of the allied
countries need it for food
