ARREST MAN ON

confiscated on the Old Jackson
farm, four and one-half miles west
# Papilion, yesterday. James

The raid was made by Deputy
Revenue Agent Larry Flynn and
Deputy United States Marshal E. J.
Quinley, assisted by Sheriff Charley
Peters and County Attorney Nick
erson OF Sarpy county.
The officers conducted a three
hours search before the large cop
per still was finally located carefully
concealed in granary A small
quantity of alcohol was found in a
Jug. The boiler had a capacity of
80 gallons of mash.
The still was located while the
officers were searching for James
Cannon, for whom they had a war
rant charging him with violating the
Reed amendment, It is charged he
transported liquor to Seward, Neb.
from outside of the state.
Police arrested Cannon several
lays ago, but he was released on a
writ Of habeas corpus before a war
rant could be served on him. The
police now hoed warrants charging
him with violating the state LIQUOR
laws.
Cannon was working on the farm
where the still was found and sue
ceeded in eluding the officers for an
hour before he was arrested.

The tale told by the minor son,
Sebastian Pirruccello. in his petition
is almost a replica of that told by
his mother.
He was aroused when he heard
a noise in the kitchen. he says, and
when he investigated he saw Herd
zina holding his mother on the floor
and striking her with his fists. He
struck her several times, according
to Sebastian, who says he rushed to
his mothers assistance and at
tempted to hold Herdzina's arm to
prevent him from striking his
mother again.
Herdzina turned on him when he
nterfered and struck him on the
shoulder with a policeman's club,
he says, knocking him to the floor.

Some changes which have taken
place in Omaha in two weeks since
Police Commissioner Ringer has been
on his vacation:
High-handed and disgraeetul
raids by the morals squad have been
discontinued. ~~
Sunday sales and deliveries of ice
have been permitted.
Grocery stores are allowed to
open on Sunday for few hours
for the benefit of the poor.
Liquor guards have been removed
from the river bridges.
General attention has been direc!
ed to some of the things that have
come to pass in Omaha during the
few days Police Commissioner
Ringer has been taking "a much
needed rest" at Colorado resort
where he was urged by friends 70
go for his nerves.
Members of the police depart
ment themselves have been COM
menting on the total absence OF dis
graceful raids by the morals squad,
which recently have been terroriz-
ing residents of the city. Sergeant
Thestrup, who has headed many OF
the illegal invasions Of private
homes, is said to be actually EN-
ploying polite tactics when he leads
his men into homes and business
places With Thestrup on the night
morals squad this month are Detec-
tives Herdzina and Armstrong, who
have been charged with much mis-
use of authority and improper cor
duet. Herdzina and Armstrong have
shown marked improvement IN
their conduct on raids, it is sait
since Mr. Ringer turned the affairs
of his office over to Mayor Smith
and set out on bis vacation. Mr.
Ringer upheld the morals squad in
all OF their recent abuse of author
ity.
What Did Mayor Do?
Many persons have wondered il
Mayor Smith called in the officers
and gave them specific instructions
to govern them during the absencl
of the police commissioner. Specu
lation also has been rife in regard tC
TIL. probable future conduct Of the
members of the morals squad. Mr.
Ringer is not believed to have IN
dergone change of heart, and up
on his return it is predicted Thes
trup, Herdzina and Armstrong
again will be in their element, The
fact is pointed to that the police
commissioner has placed himself OF
record as a believer in his police
men violating the law in order tt
apprehend offenders. and the mild
methods now employed by the de
partment will give way to tn:
Ringer methods again, it is be
lieved
Another blessing which has beer
visited upon the people of OMAN
since Mr.. Ringer left the city onl>
short while ago is the public no"

pitfalls, hotels and business houses

Remarkable Restoration to

SO happy since Tanlac made me well
again." was the statement made by
Mrs Charles Morrison, Of TAO York
st., st. Paul, Mimi, to a Tanlac re-
preventative a few days ago.
IT thought my time had just about
come for / had suffered until I was
scarcely nor than a frame" contin-
ued Mrs. Morrison, land had to spend
most of my time in bed. For eight
long years my stomach was in an aw-
full condition and no matter how little
I ate I suffered no end of misery af-
ter nearly every meal, and sometimes
I went a couple of days at a time with
out touching a bite Of nourishnent of
any kind. Gas formed on my stom-
ach and pressed up against my heart
so had that often I actually tainted
and some times I got so dizzy that I
would fall down flat in my tracks.
Many and many a night I rolled and
tossed all night long and didn't get a
wink Of sleep and in spite Of all I
could do I kept getting weaker and
weaker all the time. and finally I got
to where I was almost a complete
nervous and physical wreck and had
to give up my housework entirely and
go to bed. I tried and tried to get a
medicine that would do me some good
but nothing I took seemed to help me
and I was beginning to think I had
a hopeless case and was about to give
up in despair.
"But I kept seeing Tanlac recon-
mended for cases like mine by people
right here in st. Paul so I thought I
would try it and see if it would help
me. The longest day I live I'll praise
Tanlac, for my recovery has been SIM
ply remarkable and I'm feeling as
well as I ever did. My stomach is in
perfect condition and I can eat any
thing I want and never have the sign
of an ache or pain afterwards and I'm
gaining in weight as fast as I can.
I never have a dizzy spell and I can
sleep sound all night long and when
I get up in the morning I feel re-
freshed. I just simply can't say
enough for Tanlac for I'm well and
hapny and every word I'vee said is the
truth and if anybody don't believe it
just send them to me.

Potatoes have been grown for 8
successive years on the demonstration
farm at Hoople. Mr.. Porter, Superin-
tendent of the State Demonstration
farms, reports that the average yield
has been 1872 bushels and the average
net profit $74.12 per acre. The aver
age cost of production has been $31.83.
In 1919, however, the cost of produc-
ton was S61.68 per acre. The returns
were $272.6S leaving a net profit of
$211.00. The average yield of wheat
for the seven years following the pota-
toes has been 1851 bushels per acre.

A man who just returned from the Southern
states says that 100000 pounds Of sugar has
been piled up on the docks at New Orleans. The
dealers refuse to move or touch this sugar be-
cause the government will remove the fixed
price on sugar January 1st.. Sugar will then
shoot up. some say, to 81 q pound and the prof
iteers will then reap another golden harvest at
the expense Of the people. This perhaps throws
q little light on the sugar famine and on the
way the government is now being conducted.
