MOONSHINE TRADE BIG
News of "Jumpy" Distillers Seems
Simply to Leak Out" to the
Thirsty Public.

Washington, March 14.-So rapid is
the growth of "moonshine" whisky
manufacture in some of the prohibl'
ton states of the South that Southern
Conrressmen are calling on Commits
s;oner of Internal Revenue Roper for
larger revenue forces. The Comnls-
sioner is puzzling soout where the
Increased forces are to come from. In
a recent report he urged the need OF
the States taking steps to help the
Federal authorities, there being no in
ternal revenue from this whisky.
Tie illicit manufacture of whisky
or sblackading" as it is known to the
officers, is becoming prevalent IN sew
oval sections. Where one illicit dis
t:llery is destroyed, two or three more
are set up. There is no way OF get
ting an accurate tabulation OF the
number. These distilleries are not IN
one place long enough for that. Ihey
are of the "jumpy" variety, their own
ers after operating at one spot Tor
time moving to another to throw the
officers off the trail.
The strange thing is how the peo
pie who buy the whisky find out where
il is. One Southern Congressman de
clares that the news simply "leaks
out to those who are thirsty.
'The wireless is beat all hollow b.
the grapevine news service of tn
mconshiners" said he.
With modern conveyances trip t
the secret rendezvous where tn
whisky is to be obtained is but littl
more difficult than a trip to the bar
room. Automobiles leave the cities j
the evening for spin to the countr,
They return in The dark hours we
loaded with their supplies which al
stored or disposed of as desired.

NO WAR SAVING IN SUGAR
Quantity Used in United States Last
Year Kept up in Spite Of Con-
ServatiOn Campaign.


New York, March 14.-Limite;
government control, over the sugar
industry in the United States is nee
essary through the present year. This
is the statement made by Earl D.
Babst, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, in the re-
port for 1918, which was read to the
stockholders at tic annual meeting
in Jersey City Wednesday,. Intelna-
tional obligations, Mr.. Babst ex,
planned, make control necessary
Mr.. Babst said that control will be
"efected by the Sugar Equalization
Board, corporate agency of the
United States, which by series of
contracts with the various producing,
refining and distributing units of the
industry seeks sterilization of prices
and an international distribution of
supplies without TIE competition us
ually prevailing in the world market.
He added that the company had en-
tered into such contract with the
Government.
Contrary to current belief" he
"and Notwithstanding the
limitations imposed upon consump-
ton, we have consumed in 1918 an
amount almost equal to the yearly /;
average of the last decade. Con- |
has approximated 10000
tons day, or at the rate of 100000
tons a month, which is almost the
the average normal consumption dur
ing the last 10 years.
"The saving effected by conserva-
ton has been to considerable de
gree offset by the increased purchas-
us of those who, because of public
ty given to sugar restrictions,
bought more >Unan they otherwise
would. Necessarily, the rationing
vas administered horizontally
the United States, and
while the normal consumption of Ger
ain localities was reduced, in others
he ration was il excess of normal.
