Making Corn Liquor.

Charleston, w. Va. July 23-iMore
than fifty illicit stills are engaged in
the manufacture Of corn whisAeY.1or
bootlegging purposes in tine mountains
of Summers, Raleigh, Mcdowell and
Mercer counties. according to Walter
S. Hallanan, state prohibition com
missioner. He says as fast as stills
are captured others spring up and
that the number is increasing rather
than diminishing.
The cost and danger VI transport.
ing liquor from outside the state into
these inland sections has become sc
great that the men Vino have been
engaged in it have turned to manu-
featuring their own stock of liquors
Officers Of the state prohibition
department and the force of Fedora
revenue officers in the state have
been cooperating in hunting dowr
the stills Many OF these cornliquel
factories, however. are operated bA
rowing gangs, and only one run" vii
be made in place. SO that locating
them is very difficult.
A gallon of the corn liquor is saiJ
to retail at $50. so that great chance
are taken in the game. The quan
tity of this liquor manufactured CIV
cry week in the four counties amount
to probably 500 or 600 gallons, ans
400 or 500 men, many OF them o
desperate character are engaged il

NO TALK OF STRIKE
BY C. V. EMPLOYEES

The report that the employees OF

with the American Federation Of
Labor are about to go on strike is
incorrect, says the Chambersburg
Repository. Their difficulties are
about to be adjusted satisfactorily
by the y. S. Wage Adjustment
Board. There has never been talk
of strike among the employees as
by an agreement between the Unit
ed States Government and the
'AaaHeans Feteration y of Labor
there is no possibility Of strike
during the spreseni war.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

To the Citizens of Brookings Coun-
ty: | am taking this means of COM
municating with you for the purpose
of obtaining your active cooperation
in the effort to place every citizen in
Brookings county %squarely behind the
the United War Work Drive, Novem-
Der 18th to 25th. 1t is particularly
desired that every boy and girl be-
tween twelve and twenty years of age
Boys and Girls Campaign in behalf
of the Army and Navy and every boy
and girl should have an opportunity
of sharing in 1t.
War Work Campaign is to have the
right of way throughout the state hur-
ing the week of November 18th to
25th. 1t represents the following sew
tian Association, Young Women's
Christian Association, National Cath
Ollie War Council, Jewish Welfare
Board, War Camp Community Service,
American Library Association and Sal
walton Army.
AS a part of this national drive there
is being organized in every state what
is known as the Victory Boys" and
the Victory Girls" The boys slo-
gan is: "A million boys behind a mil
lion fighters" and the girls slogan is:
Every girl pulling for victory" Each
boy and girl is to be asked to Earn
and Give five dollars $500, this
amount approximately covering the
cost of the privileges afforded a fight
ing man by the w organizations
for a period of five weeks. In Brook
ings county we want to make a sim
%ultaneous canvass in every school on
Monday afternoon, November 18th,
preceded by a short patriotic program.
This effort will give the nation bet
ter men and women. The develop
ment of character through the expert
ence Of responsibility and by sacri-
fee will assure for, America better
and stronger men and women for the
coming generation.
Personally, l feel hat our state
should meet its quota in full. South
Dakota has won an enviable place
among the states of the northwest and
this campaign in which we are now
engaged will be widely heralded
throughout the nation. II we meet our
quota as a state it will mean that
Bookings county must do likewise.
Through your loyal cooperation |
am counting on every locality to reach
its quota one hundred per cent; so
that Brookings county will go cover
the Top" deliver it's pro rata share Ct
the $4,000 boys and girls, together
with it's quota Of one thousand nine
hundred ff'v-fve dollars &1955.00)
and be among the leaders throughout
the state.
Let me say in conclusion that
shall greatly appreciate any assistance
you may give in behalf of the boys
and girls of the state and our fighting
men at the front, l am yours for the
Victory Boys and Girls.

With every turning of my wheel.

When tyranny shall pass away.

May save a thousand lives at stake"

My music is your busy hum,
And this the hymn you sing to me,
Always, My Country, IT'S of Thee

Well serve the flag with all our

MAKE GOOD
SHOWING

The Idaho Pickle and Vinegar Co.,
under the management OF Mr.. L. .'Har-
man, are certainly making q good
showing. Their output this year VIII
reach almost 100000 gallons of vine
gar, besides many barrels Of dill
pickles. The quality Of vinegar put
up by this company under their pres
ent system makes their goods absolute
ly self advertising. They are receiving
many more orders than they are able
to fill. Orders are received from as
far east as Kansas City and Omaha,
and in order to fill the increasing de-
niand for vinegar they have purchased
the Walla Walla Pickle and Vinegar
factory st that place and Mr.. Harman
is now there rearranging the plant
and putting it under the same system
SIS the one at Payette. This factory is
a great asset to this community as
they will be able to handle all Gull
apples st a price that will pay the
grower to save every one. Mr.. Har-
man says the price will not be less
than $1,000 per ton. The pulp from
apples contain about all the food in
apples which can be had st the factory
at a very nominal sum.
