SAY BOOTLEG TRADE
YIELDS BIG PROFIT
Police Report 281 Persons
Yesterday Brought Liquor to
City From Baltimore.

Many alleged regular patrons of the
booze specials" operating between
Baltimore and this city were in evil
dence yesterday, according to the
police. It was said that 2s1 persons,
carrying booze" in quantities of from
one to five gallons, alighted from the
special arriving at White House sta
ton shortly before o'clock. There
were only twelve white persons on
the train, and moro than 50 per cent
Of the others were women and Girls.
sDealers" Reap Big Profit.
Discussing the profits from bootleg
whisky, a man who is familiar with
the liquor trade said he supposed the
liquor brought here from Baltimore
by bootleggers- costs them about $40
a case, plus $1.63 for car fare, making
a total Of $21.63. Selling It at the rate
Of 81 a quart, the price they charge
for it, gives them q net profit OF
$26.37. and many Of them, he sug-
gested, sell several cases a day.
Should they dispose OF their stock
at home by the drink. he said. the
profits would be much greater. They
probably get thirty drinks out Of q
quart. of whisky, he said, and more IL
they add little water. and, it is
said. they charge a fiat price Of Is
cents a drink. A bootlegger in the
speakeasy business selling q case of
LIQUOR a day, The Stars informant
stated. would clear a profit Of $9S.37.
~No wonder" he remarked. that
some Of them can afford automobiles. %
Alleged Sale by 14-Year-old Boy.
Serxt. Edward Curry and Policemen
WinStead and Montgomery OF the sixth
precinct last night expressed surprise
at the outcome Of an effort to obtain
evidence against David Sterling, COL
ored, an alleged bootle4ger. David was
not at home when the colored agent
Of the officer visited his house, but
Clayton Sterling, his foufteen-year.old
son, It 10 charged accommodated him
with two half pints at 81 each.
The boy was arrested and eight full
quarts and one broken bottle OF whisky
were taken from the house. The father
reached home about the time the po-
lice had taken possession Of the liquor
and was arrested. Charges Of bootleg
ging and violation Of the military-zone
regulation were preferred against him
and he was locked up. Clayton was
taken to the house OF detention and
charged with hootlesKing. Sterling
and his son were not ready for trial
today.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Editor of Dispatch:

Editor of Dispatch
My attention has been called lately
10 several of your editorials on edu
cation and teaching in general, all OF
which endorse highly, but | wish to
compliment you more especially upon
your last THE Teachers Plight"
You are absolutely correct in every
particular. Teachers all over Georgia
men as well as women, are leaving
the school room seeking positions in
ether ways of making living. Those
who do not leave the school room are
those who simply connot.
You are again correct in stating the
teachers work and influence over the
Young people in the community is
greater and more fundamental than
amy parsonage with whom the chill
den may come in contact. The sue
cess Of a teacher and the influence
that reflects upon child life is not
counted in dollars and cents as 50
many of our misguided directors may
think.
Educational work of more than two
score years, work loved more than
very life itself, has taught me that
Of
secondary consideration, but what has
been created in the life of more than
five thousand boys and girls who have
locked me in the face as their instruc-
tor.
Rome. once was the greatest empire
in the world, dated her downfall, and
eettle | her fate, when she left the in
structicn Of her youth to slaves and
nurses, Cur children have only one
opportunity to be educated, and when
that is lost by poor teacher poorly
Paid all is lost
After all who ever heard of teach
or making his fortune and retiring as
mal in ether business? His success
is not counted in bank stock, brick
buildings ana large farms, When all
these material things have passed
away dust to dust, and ashes to ashes
The teacher will still live, and like
that OF Agassy, his, teaching and infu-
once will be felt in lives yet unborn.

for his highest and best development.
Through contact with each other,
children learn to wait heir turn, and
to be considerats in many other ways.
Moreover, the child wants to make
things, and, although the mother can
play little songs and games with him
while carrying on her household
tasks, she cannot always take the

one reason why the kindergarten fills

NENANA STREETS ARE NOW BEING
 LEvElED 0FF
Townsite Officials Are Having the Streets Levelled Preparatory
 to Grading.

Several teams are now at work under the supervision of Townsite Manager Ryus doing the preliminary work of levelling them by cutting down the mounds and filling in the hollows.
 A commencement of this work has been made on B street and all of the other streets will be at- tended to in course of time. The work now done is preparatory to grading, and it is thought that con- tracts will be let for the work of grading shortly.
 It is not definitely known when these grading contracts will be let, but it is possible that the work will be allotted in the near future and that this will be followed by con- tracts for putting in the necessary sidewalks.

RED GROSS BIRD COMES ID TOWN
 0N SIR. ALASKA
Much Travelled Bi-d Comes to Stay With Us and Help the Good
 Cause Along.

The much talked of Red Cross rooster, Liberty" is here now, hav- ing arrived on the steamer Alaska and will immediately enter on his campaign of raising funds for the Red Cross. He travelled in a beautiful cage, which plainly shows the mission he is on.
 Commissioner Mcdonald took de- livery of Liberty" and promptly turned him over to the Red Cross ladies, who immediately got busy in making arrangements for his cam paign.
 Liberty will be raffled and tick cts at fifty cents each are now on sale and it is hoped that loyal Ne nanaites will see to it that Liberty" gets more money for the Red Cross here than he has been able to get in the other towns he has visited.
 This noble bird was donated to the cause by Mrs. Horner, of Horner Hot Springs, near Ruby, and was promptly raffled by Commissioner DeVane, the winner returning him to the cause.
 i He was raffled at Ruby, Poor man, and Long and was then sent to Commissioner Dehn, at Tanana, for the same purpose. At the army town Liberty" brought in s121 and now it is up to the good people of Nenana to see that this amount is exceeded.
 j Mrs. J. R. Bowen, chairman of the local Red Cross, will make all arrangements for the raffle, which will be held in Nenana soon for which ticktts are now on sale, and every patriotic citizen is invited to participate and make the raffle a great success.
 : During his wanderings in the places mentioned Liberty" has earned for the Red Cross the total sum of $350, and it is expected that Nenana, the livest town in Interior Alaska, will materially add to this sum-
 ! From Nenana Liberty" will go to Fairbanks and thence to Juneau. After touring Alaska, he is ex- pected to go to the States and raise more money for the Red Cross.

QUIET WEDDING
 UNTES POPULAR NENANA COUPLE
Genial Townsite Accountant and Principal of School United
 In Marriage.

Last night, at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Matt Sweeney in the pres ence of a few friends only, Father Monroe performed the ceremony that made William H. Grigg, town site accountant and Miss Helena Kobe, principal of the Franklin K. Lane school, man and wife.
 The event was not altogether un- expected, although the principals evidently endeavored to keep it closely guarded; and news of the wedding soon leaked out, with the result that friends were waiting to congratulate the happy couple soon after the ceremony had been per formed.
 The bride came to Nenana soon after the founding of the town and was chosen first principal of the new Franklln K. Lane school, which po- sition she resigned at the end of the term to become the wife of MT. Grigg.
 Mir. Grigg also has been identified with the town since its very early days, having come from Anchorage to assist in the management of the townsite office.
 The newly-weds will make their home temporarily at the Ryus cot tage, but within a short time they will take up their residence in their own home on B street, which was recently purchased by MT. Grigg.
