RECEIVES 2 TONS OF CLOTHING
VIII Be Tried by Federal Court in
October.

By United Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 13.-A case
which promises to prove of interest
to at least one community in the
state is set for trial at the October
term of the federal court here.
1t is that of Mrs. Urma Moore, a
wealthy farmers wife of Walnut
Grove, Mo-, who was arrested in July
on charge of receiving goods under
false pretenses. More than two tons
of cast-off clothing is said to have
been confiscated by postal authorities
following her arrest. The clothing
was turned over to the Salvation
Army.
1t is alleged Mrs. Moore, after he1
arrest, confessed to writing an appeal
to a weekly publication in Kansas
with a large country circulation, as
serting her husband died of influenza
leaving her with ten children, among
them triplets. AS result of he1
talk of poverty and need, contribu-
tions of money and clothing began ar
irving in all sorts of boxes from many
parts of the country, it was stated.

PREACH FULL CAN GOSPEL
Standards Set For Preserving Fruits
and Vegetables.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The "gos-
pei of the full can" is being preached
this year to commercial Gamers by
the United States Department Of Agri-
cutter through its Bureau of Chemis-
try, which enforces the Federal Food
and Drugs Act, commonly called the
Pure Food Law"
Inspectors of the Bureau of Chemis-
try will visit personally as many Of
the canneries this season as they can
reach. They advise that all cans Of
food should be packed as full as prac-
tical without injury to quality. They
also advise housewives and other pur-
chasers to note the relative amounts
of solids and liquids in the cans they
buy, and to give preference to the
products of firms that seem to want
to give square deal to the home
larder. Examinations of a large
number of cans put up by different
firms reveal a wide divergence in this
particular.
The quality of drained food. which
is the solid food exclusive of liquid,
that can be put more efficiently and
economically in each of the various
sized cans in common use, has been
determined for peas, beans, cherries,
pears, and peaches, and the canning
industry has been advised Of the re-
suits. The drained weights for other
fruits and vegetables will be an
nounced to the canning industry as
they are determined.
Complete information regarding the
application of the Federal Food and
Drugs Act to canned fruits and vege.
tables will be sent upon application
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

y MEXICAN BORDER STILL WET
Prohibition Offers Occupation to Many
Enterprising Smugglers.

Entefpr1Slng SmugglerS.
By United Press.
LAREDO, Tex, Aug. 13.-Enforce-
ment of nation wide prohibition may
offer hard problem to peace officers
n the inland states but their job is
sinecure to that of federal officials
trying to keep the American side of
the Mexican border dry.
Prohibition in the United States has
offered a means of wealth to hundreds
of adventursome spirits along the Rio
Grande and booze smuggling is being
made a fine art.
All the fiery Mexican drinks-mes-
cal, aguardiente and tequila-sell
readily in the states and smuggling
is comparatively easy since the twelve
hundred odd miles of border generally
is sparsely settled and patplled only
by small military units.
The willy Mexican, trailing his mes
cal in bladders, hog skins and goat
skins, wades the Rio Grande at night
disposes of his wares and is back in
Mexico again long before the dawn
When the mescal lacks punch, he
spikes it with red pepper, onions OF
drugs and the result is knockout
which backs Jack Dempsey's upper
cuts in the shade.
Spiked soda water is another means
lof avoiding detection. Recently 6
Mexican, with a cargo of apparently
harmless, pink soda-water was stop
ped by customs agents, who sampled
his wares. The soda water was pinl
in appearance only. Its kick bea
any American "Red-Eye" known.
In one week recently, in the towr
of Alice, Jim Wells County, custom:
agents found more than 300 quarts o
mescal.

Berlin a Monte Carlo-Poor
Are Gambling With the
Rich.
By CARL D. GROAT


BERLIN, July IS (by maiD A sort
of "devil-may-care" spirit pervades
Berlin.
1t undoubtedly arises from the let
down after four years of war. And
it manifests itself in a wild pursuit
of pleasure. Champagne and gam
bling are the main objects upon which
pleasure-craving Berlin directs it's at
tention, seeking surcease from the
past.
Berlin may lack for food, but il
doesn't lack for amusements. A vast
class of rich folks are going through
their money with surprising rapid
ity, while many persons of more mod
crate means have caught the infection
and are cutting into savings of a life
time to satisfy the almost universal
desire for pleasure.
- Even the reds, who are supposed
to be very poverty stricken, have 6
trace of the spirit, as was instance6
recently when Spartacus party wai
announced for one of the suburbs, witt
the statement that there'd be plenty
to drink and much to eat. In short

though the people were poor they

S SPORT
Coach Schultz to
Nebraska University

The following story was printed in
the Kansas City Star, regarding the
possible departure of Coach Henry F.
Schultz from the gridiron of Colum-
bia:
while Valley sport followers
throughout Missouri are endeavoring
in every way possible to find out if
Coach Henry F. Schultz Of Missouri
has been offered the athletic director
ship at Nebraska, the big Indian him
self is here at Arnhold's Mill in the
Ozarks in charge of eighty-five Colum-
bia Boy Scouts, and well hidden away
from those who would settle certain
rumors regarding his work next year.
To a reporter for The Star, who ar
rived at the Scout Camp today, Schultz
refused to say just what took place
on his recent trip to Nebraska, and
was evasive when asked regarding
rumored offer to him there.
ut has been known in Columbia
for several weeks that Nebraska was
considering Schultz or that Schultz
was considering Nebraska, in short
that certain negotiations were under
way. 1t has also been common knowl-
edge to Columbia business men every
year that, judged by his success at
Missouri in track and football, Coach
Schultz has for a number of years
been one of the most poorly paid ath-
letic men in the Valley. Many at
tempts to change this situation at Co
lumbia have failed.
Schultz was in the swimming
hole on the 'Niangua River camp,
when the reporter for The Star ar
rived in Arnhold's Mill. A character
istic wave of the hand big football
smile and soon the Indian, who has
held his popularity at Columbia long
er than any other coach in similar
work was on the bank and answering
or smiling only, at questions.
"I can't say at present what my
plans are,' the coach said, except that
as things are at present will be at
Lawrence with the Tigers next
Thanksgiving Day. Many of the old
boys will be there and with some men
who were on the Varsity before the
war, Missouri should put up a goo6
fight. Nebraska? Now you'll have to
excuse me from that question. I have
a number of mighty good friends there
and have the greatest admir-.
alton for their football men. No
1 can't make any statement regard
ing rumors today
at is believed that the choice of 6
coach by Nebraska's board either has
been made or will be very soon. L
the report that Schultz will be the
man is correct, Missouri will be lef
at the very beginning of big sea
son without a head football coach
Reports from alumni and old students
and advance registrations point tt
the largest school year in the histor.
of NJ. u. and if such is the case il
would be particularly hard on Tigel
hopes to have Schultz leave. During
his work there he has more than KEEP
balance of victories and defeats il
Missouri scores, has brought
j out Simpson, world champion hurdleI
and has in other ways helped keel
Missouri on the map of athletics"
