FIND STILL ON KANSAS FARM
Washington County Landlord and His
Tenants Arrested by w. n. Larabee

United States officials last week be-
gan prosecutions of men who have at
tempted to make whisky in Kansas
with home disti1leries.
The government takes the position
that the revenue laws ne in full force
until repealed; that man can be
charged with violating them just the
same as before war time prohibition,
if he made no attempt to obtain
licenses.
The first arrest was made Monday
by Cornelius Collins, sheriff of Wash
ington County at Hanover, Kansas.
Two men were found, he says, operat-
ing still the farm of W. B. Gull
bert, a contractor of Beatrice, Nebr.
The men were tenants of Guilbert,
who raises hogs and corn. According
to the sheriff, the corn sent for feed
was being distilled into liquor with a
distil1ing plant made of copper ket-
tie, barrel, and some tin pipe passed
through hog trough as condenser.
w. N. Larabee and J. L. Mccormick
deputy revenue collectors, who made
an investigation at Hanover Friday
caused warrants to be issued by the
United States district attorney. Frank
j. Hatka and E. Langley are
charged with the actual operation of
the still. Gui1bert, owner of the land
| is charged with knowing of its oper-
| alton IF the charge against him is

TIME FOR FARMERS TO ACT

1t is time for the farmers to act
if they are to receive anything like
reasonable price for the lower grades
Of wheat. The Grain Corporation off,
Gals have fixed a price schedule that
makes it possible for wheat to bring
as low. as S1.13 bushe1. Practically
the entire crop will net the farmer
only $1-5e to $1.93 bushel.
The only hope for the farmers now
is to bring such pressure to bear on
Congress that this body will force the
director of the Grain Corporation to
pay better prices for the lower grades
| of wheat or allow competitive export
ing.
In answer to the appeal for food to
win the war the farmer did his share
| and planted the greatest wheat crop
in the history of the country. He did
| this with the understanding that the
government would stand behind him
and not allow him to suffer loss be-
cause of his patriotism. Now that
peace has come the ardor of the gov
eminent has cooled and the Grain
Corporation is apparently bent on saw
ing the billion dollar appropriated for
the guarantee at the expense of the
farmer
Tt is time to act, and every farmer
should send telegram at once tic
the congressman from his district and
to the United States senators from
his state urging that they demand
fairer prices for the wheat crop.

signed by hundred farmers will cesa

CITY GETS BLAME

Failure on the part of the city to keep
Its promise Is responsible for the present
delay In the construction of the Four
teenth street subway, according to a
statement given out last night by Clar-
ence A Crane, secretary of the General
Contractors Association. The work has
been at standstill since August 20,
owing to a strike of subway laborers
who have demanded an increase in
wages from the contractors ranging
from 25 10 90 per cent Mr.. Crane as
serts that the strike in 1918 was settled
after an agreement between the Public
Service Commission and the Board of
Estimate to reimburse the contractors
for the increased cost of labor and ma
terials due to war conditions.
THE city is spending about 5000, 00o,-
900 on this Fourteenth street and con-
Meeting routes" said Mr.. Crane. THE
interest amounts to over $4,000 a day
and unless arrangements can be made
to renew construction and carry 1t out
with a full force of men their compile
ton will be delayed indefinitely.
1.-THE contractors have had numerous
conferences with Transit Construction
Commissioner Delaney. The city OF New
York has wholly failed TO carry out it's
promises of June 10, 1918. when a posi-
tive guarantee was given that the in
creased costs of labor and material
would be paid to contractors for COM
pleting their work eXpeditiously. The
contractors feel that the failure to live
up to this promise is the cause of the
present situation"
