Smuggling Sugar
Is Ne7V Industry

Ell Paso, Tex, May 19.-Gun run
ners, ammunition smugglers, boot
leggers" and other border law break
ers who thrive upon the illicit tratnc
between countries characteristic OF
all borders, have turned their atten-
ton to smuggling sugar into Mexico.
Sugar is on the American embargo
list for the period of the war. So is
lard and also flour and butter and
other foodstuffs. But sugar is the
most popular commodity with the
smugglers. It is easy to carry across,
does not spoil and can always be dis
posed Of at a high price once it is
over the border. The smugglers
match their wits against those Of the
governments keenest secret service
men, taking their winnings in Amert-
can gold and their losses in the fed
eraI penitentiaries.
Although bustles went out of style
many years ago the wearing Of them
has been revived by the sugar SNUG
glers. The Mexican women Of ample
girth wear the rude canvas bustles
more for revenue than for style. Con-
cealed in the pockets of their bustles
are pounds and pounds of sugar.
Mexican women, confederates Of the
smugglers fasten these cumbersome
affairs about their waists under their
dress skirts and walk or ride across
the international bridge, until some
curious inspector discovers the ruse
and stops the practice by placing the
| smuggler in Jail.

AUDITORS SHOW
THEIR LOYALTY

The North Dakota County Audi
tors association wants only one
hundred per cent members in its or
ganization, according to w. R.
Tucker, Cass county auditor, who re-
turned to Fargo this morning after
attending the convention held at
Grand Forks Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Auditor Tucker sponsored a reso-
luton which was introduced in the
assembly Thursday and which was
unanimously adopted, that only 100
per cent Americans should be retain
ed as members Of the association. Mr.
Tucker was also one Of the speakers
at the banquet held in the Hotel
Fredericks Wednesday evening. His
toast dealt chiefly with American
ism"
At the close Of the convention. the
association instructed Mr. Tucker,
who was secretary Of the organiZa-
ton in 1917, and elected vice presi-
dent for 1918, to draw a check for
500 and present it to Judge N. G.
Young, director of the Red Cross in
North Dakota, to be used for nation
al Red Cross war relief.
One Of the resolutions adopted
provides for the creation of a COM
mittee on legislation, the duty of
which board will be to attend the
| sessions Of the legislature and to take
| care Of matters Of Importance in con-
! nection with the work of the county
auditors of the state and for the
benefit of the taxpayers.
F. F. Vaughn of Cando, county
auditor of Towner county, was elect
| cd president of the association; w
| r. Tucker Of Fargo, Cass County,
vice president, and Adolph Schlenker
Of McClusky, Sheridan county, Sec
Rotary treasurer. Minot and Fargo
were the rival candidates for the
convention honors in 1919, but in
view of the fact that Fargo enter
tanned the auditors just two years
ago. the auditors voted in favor Of
Minot,
DR.. Wheeler. mayor Of Grand
Forks, babe the auditors welcome and
told then. that when they made their
sightseeing trip through the city
that they could go ITO miles through
the streets of Grand Forks if they
wanted. The pleasure trip took the

ty was reported i'll at the hospital

Correspondence of The Associated
PreSsO

Paris, April 10.-In all 6,016, 900
pounds Of foodstuffs have rachel
the Belgian civil population through
the Commission for Relief in Belgium
from November /, 1914, to October
81, 1917, it is announced. 1T is due
to the marvellous generosity of the
United States OF America that the
Belgians have scaped destruction
through famine" says The Informa
lions Belges, q publication edited at
Hayre under the auspices of the
Belgian government. "They will
never forget It," it adds.
When Herbert G. Hoover organized
the Commission for Relief in Belgium
in the fall Of 1914 and purchased in
London the few thousand sacks of
-four and wheat that were sent to
Belgium in the care of Hugh S.
Gibson, the secretary of the Aneri-
can Legation at Brussels who had
gone to London for that purpose,
none foresaw that the institution
would grow to such proportions and
would become the greatest work OF
the kind ever attempted
The average distribution of food
stuffs to the Belgian population dur
ing the three years referred to above
was 5,480,034 pounds daily
Importations into Belgium would
have reached much greater figures
had 1t not been for numerous sink
ings by German U-boats Of ships

COOPERSTOWN
LODGE FORMED
Inspector General For
Masons of State Pre-
sents Charter

Cooperstown, N. D.. May IL In
Masonic circles, Thursday was a red
letter day. Cooperstown Lodge Of
Perfection put on the fourteenth de-
gree in full form for the benefit Cf a
class Of "a candidates. There were
visitors present from many other
towns, including Finley and Sharon,
coming by auto and train. The beau
tiful and spacious new Masonic tenn
pie was well filed. The officers had
the work perfectly committed, and
It was given most impressively. At
ter the work permanent charter
was, presented to the Cooperstown
lodge by H. c.. Plumley. inspector
general for the state, and The lodge
duly constituted. The officers were
then formally installed. Theodore
Syverson being the venerable master.
Among those present was Rollin c..
Cooper, the founder OF the city, one
who had done much to make the new
Masonic temple here possibility.
He has recently returned from
spending the winter in Florida and
his friends are delighted to find him
feeling well.
It was. nearly 1 o'clock before the
banquet was,a served, and the ad-
dresses were most interesting. The
event was one that the participants
will long remember.

%, 000, 900 bushels Of that cereal"
Two articles on which attention
particularly was directed at the
meeting were, sugar and -four. Flour
was admitted to be OF first import
ance and sugar. strong second. It
was explained that wheat mixed
with substitutes, although as health
full as straight -four. cannot be used
by the army men. 1t requires scien-
tiflc handling and the use of good
machines to produe good bread with
this mixture and that was given as
the reason why bakers are success
ful while the housewife fails. In the
army machines are used, but on
every third day men are required to
make bread without the use of ma
chimes in preparation. for the days in
the field. when no machines will be
available.

May Use Beer
In Place of Soap

st. Paul, Mimi, May 13.-If the
price Of soap continues to climb Min
nesota laundrymen may take to
washing clothes in beer.
This rather astonishing statement
was made at a recent meeting of the
state laundrymen in annual conven-
ton in ST. Paul by Fl. G. Elledge, fell
low of the Melting Institute of In
dustrial' Research, the man employed
by the National Laundrymen's as
sociation, to solve problems-as sub
stitutes and better preparations for
cleansing. "
Mr.. Elledge declared that beer
can be used for soap and that it win
allow everything to go back to the
patron except the dirt"
In view of the pending battle over
the dry amendment in the state Mr..
Elledge refused to say what sort of
reception washing clothes in beer
would receive, but assured his audi
ence that beer is a very good sub
stitute for soap and that there is no
reason why 1t cannot be used.
