That moonshiners are renewing

proven by the investigations of Goy-
ernment agents who have suspect
ed that this business will be resum-
ed on large scale as soon as the
news of the prOhibltor ruling be-
came noised around the dens of the
hill billies." Confidential informa-
ton has been coming to officers dur
ing the past several months, but the

Gus 80 far, and, favored with a
rough country, where illicit stills
can be bidder very we'll from the
shrewd United States Marshals, has
made the task of finding them a
hard one. Yet the Government
agents this week unearthed the big
gest moonshine still ever captured
in Arkansas. II was taken in a
spectacular raid by internal revenue
officers in the mountains south of
Harvey. 1t has capacity of 100
gallons and is equipped with a g.
foot copper worm. A four.gallon
still also was seized. and four men
found operating the place we're ar
rested. A hand to- o-hand fight pre-
vented the mOonshiners from get
ting possession of four highpowered
rifles they had in their dens. The
officers slipped into the mountains
under cover of darkness and cut
telephone wires TO prevent, the
moonshiners from summOning as
sistance. 1t is believed that other
illicit stills are located in this Sec
ton and the entire wooded section
will be kept constantly under sur
veillance.

u. S. Soldiers to Return

The United States will not main
tsin any part of the armies of oc.
cupstion, which by the terms of the
treaty handed 10 the Germans will
remain on the Rhine for at least is
years. Neither will Great Britain
keep any troops in Germany inde-
finitely. The occupation of the
bank of the Rhine will be effected
by French and Belgian troops, the
great majority, of course, being
FRENCH. These two nations receive
virtually all the indemnity, for the
collection of which Allied troops
are to be retained on German ter
ritory.
1t was not the wish of Marshal
Foch and the French peace delega,
tion that this arrangement be made.
AS Foch said at Treves last January
it was his idea that all Allied troops
should watch on the Rhine This
view was expressed most strongly
by the French during the peace
negotiations, but President Wilson
told Clemenceau with all firmness
that under no conditions could
American troops be kept in Germany,
and Lloyd George took the stand
that America had no interest OF
duty which compelled our keeping

The Road Question

There is more good roads seita-
tion at the present time than has
been heard for some years. The
people now have an opportunity to
get bard surfaced roads across the
country at an expense for less than
ever before possible. There is $50.
100000 Federal and State money
available for this purpose. in Mis-
souri, and each county is estimated
TO oct about fifty miles of these
roads. The law under which these
hard surfaced roads may be secured
is known as the Mccullough Morgan
bill. which gives $1,000 per mile on
hard surface roads. and in addition
to this the counties are to get one
half the balance of cost required
for construction from the county.
The proposition in Monroe county
is to build from Monroe City to Paris
by way of Indian Creek, Stoutsville
and Goss, the distance covered to
be approximately 27 miles. Of this
q miles II 3.4 miles are in the
Monroe City Special Road District
and to raise the balance of money
necessary for the completion of the
work the commissioner have order
ed an election to be held May 20,
20 vote on the proposition to bond
for $4,000. This amount. together
with the federal and state money
will be sufficient for the work in the
district.
These bonds will run for fifteen
years. bear S per cent interest and
will be in denominations Of 500
and multiples thefeef 4ls -sss ~ !. J
In our opinion this is the oppor-
tunity to get coed roads, so badly
needed in this country. and every
body should boost and keep on
boosting until they are built. Let's
get busy.
