Traders were disposed to take profits
from the start. A decline of 42 to 80
points marked the opening and the

was checked by bullish private crop

200 Moonshiners
Seized in Raids IN
Southern States
Five of the Outlaws and
Two Government Agents
Killed

WASHINGTON. Aug S0.-The big
gest intensive roundup of Illicit
whiskey distillers ever undertaken by
the government has just been COM
pleted in Southern mountain districts
by revenue agents under direction Of
the Internal Revenue Commissioner,
Daniel c. Roper.
The activities of the agents resulted
in the seizure of $50 stills, arrest of
200 moonshiners, killing of five out
laws and two sheritfs. and the wound
ing Of a number of other government
men and liquor makers. This system
attic campaign of raids has been under
way eight weeks, mainly in the noun
tains of Tennessee. Alabama. Georgia,
Florida. North Carolina and South
Carolina dry states--but an
nouncements of arrests were withheld
until to-day to avoid giving advance
information TO moonshiners of the as-
tivities of fourteen experienced reye
nue agents. This band working swift
" from community to community.
cleaned out nests of moonshiners that
had been operating without serious
difficulty for years, and lett behind
them "fellow-up'' vigilance organlza
tions Of citizens and officers TO pre-
vent outlaws from going back TO their
old traffic.
10000 Gallons OF Liquor Seized
More than 10000 gallons Of pale
m moonshine whiskey were seized and
poured down mountain streams Over
100000 worth OF Illicit copper stills
OF all sizes. and other paraphernslia,
automobiles. horses. mules. ard
wagons belonging to the distilers were
taken ~ the flying squadron. About
q, 900 pounds of sugar found on dis
tlllery premises was confiscated, and
most o. it given to the Red Cross.
Recommendations for 32t prosecu
tions have been sent to the Depart
ment Of Justice and forwarded to
| nlted States attorneys, while most OF
the moonshiners caught at their stills
are behind bars in Southern jails await
ing trial
More than a score Of desertcrs from
the army were discovered partcipat-
ing in moonshine manufacture in the
Southern mountains, and two of these
were killed in Georgia by armed raid
ers. In Tuscaloosa and Jefferson coun-
ties, Alabama, the two shenffs were
shot, and the killing of moonshiners
occurred in Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama.
Extraordinary significance is at
tached to the concerted raids because
Revenue Commissioner Roper under
took the enterprise largely TO demon
strate that prohibition can really be
made effective. In addition the par
pose was 20 dry up the sources from
which great quantities of rnoonshine
liquor have been furnished clandestne-
ly TO soldiers in Southern training
camps.
Permanent organizations for the
rAiding of illicit stills now have been.
formed throughout the South. Terri
tory has been laid off in zones, with
oatrolling stations, and a competent
Federal officer has been placed in
charge of each zone.

Wheat

Wheat. - Latest advices from the
West indicate recent rains have put
sell in unusually favorable condition

winter and spring wheat belts ploughing
operations are making active progress.
This indicates another large acreage Of
winter wheat this fall 1t will also be
favorable for the spring wheat area
and will leave the ground in splendid
condition for next springs seeding.
Advices from Washington ntimated
that the price for next season will re
main the same as now in force, and
apparently the Administration is de-
srous of assuring the American
farmer Of good profit for his wheat
crop next season, even should develop

pleted the purchase of the full amount

that in the near future large amount

400 TO 1 IS WAGER
 KITCHENER IS DEAD
Inndon Chrnniclel

Legends once well rooted die hard. Many people believe that Earl Kitchen CT survived the sinking of the Hamp- shire, and is either a prisoner of war, or, escaping in small boat. has reached some remote part of the world and is living an anonymous retirement.
 The romance gained a fresh lease Of life when Mrs. Parker, sister of the great general publicly announced at Hastings not long ago her firm belief that her brother was alive and would one day return.
 It is impossible to argue the matter. One can only believe or disbelieve. A measure of credence which business men attach to the story is to be found in a letter printed in the Liverpool Echo. Messrs. A. Letton, Percival &s Co.,, insurance brokers of that city, say that a client of theirs wanted to know what rate could be quoted to cover the following risk:
 That Lord Kitchener was alive on August 31. 1917, the onus of proof to be on the assured and to Def urnished within three months from peace being signed.
 Lloyd's underwriters were prepared to accept 10000 pounds at shillings per cent, and the insurance, if that is the right word for it. has been con- pleted.
 The chances of Lord Kitchener being alive are. therefore. regarded by unsen- timental brokers as one in 400.

HIP

The Hip shows but three features this week. the first three days of the seven being taken up by Rallies starting this morning, and on We'd nesday and Thursday Franklyn Far mum comes in comedy drama or good value entitled. The Fighting Grin
 It is one of the Fairbankesque ac- ton creations that have been so populariZed by that worthy screen favorite. "The Fighting Grin" Is heralded as one of the fastest nov ing program pictures to be served this year and Farnum does a lot of stunts that would make the redoubt- able Doug" look to his laurels.
 With "The Fighting Grin will be seen the usual splendid News Weekly and exclusive feature of the Hip.
 On Friday Montague Love cannes in a picturiZation of one of the great est stories of the past ten years, "The Beast The picture has been called "The Awakening and if the critics are to be taken at even half the val ue they give it, The Awakening should play to a mighty good week end bill at the Hip.
 Montague Love plays the part of "the beast and plays it as he has not played a part in months for the World rogram. His wonderful ability finds splendid expression in the part of this man who has earned the title of "the beast" only to unfold and revamp his entire life under the softening influence of love.
 As an added feature of the week end. the Hip announces the first oi the greatest comedy creations of the year. Montgomery Flagg's Girls You Know" The first one is entitled ''The Movie Fan and was shipped t the Hip for private screening last week. It is said to be the funniest thing that has emanated from tn. studios this year.
 It deals with a young girl who is bug on movies. She breaks int filmdom and out again so quickl, that the transition is a riot. "Tht Movie Fan" is worth a peep from al who really enjoy high class com. edy.
