4 TIMES AS MUCH
WHISKY CONSUMED
Startling Figures Shrw Millions
of Gallons Used Within Pest
Year; Facts and Figures

No epidemics of consequence have
struck, the United States during the
year, and health departments con-
tinue to speak about the healtnul-
mes of various communities. Yet
more medicinal wfiskey is being
used than was beverage whiskey,
figures of the Internal Revenue De-
partment show.
Beginning in August, 1919, when
all internal revenue districts of the
State were consolidated, the with
drawals for Kentucky show the fol-
lowing growth:
August 1919, 9e4 gallons. were
withdrawn; September $50 gallons;
October 1885,, November 1866 and
December 12,6o8. The high tide of
expectation was reached during De-
cernber when 1,056,269 gallons We're
taken out of warehouses for exporta-
ton
However, 1920 shows how whiskey
improved" as medicine. During
January 40,994 gallons were with
drawn; February 131 ,482; March
2S9 ,496; April 153,040; May 223, 17S;
June 43S,61q; July 689,569; August
COL 500; September 65O,13l; or q to-
tai of 3,217,209 gallons for months
According to a report issued in
Washington four times as much
whiskey was withdrawn in the whole
country during 1920 than was with
drawn during similar period of
1919
The large Withdrawals have alarm
ed both the prohibition authorities
and legitimate dealers of whiskey
1t is said that national associations
of drduggists fearing that drastic
measures might be taken by prohi-
bition officials tn prevent such enor-
nous Withdrawals, have significd an
intention to assist enforcement by
reporting apparent violations. The
prohibition forces have found that
much of the whiskey has been used
for beverage purposes. it is said.

Our three armies went to the front

quested to confer and decide upon a
general plan by which the work could
be carried on most expeditiously and
without overlapping or duplication.
To Map 100000 Square Miles.
To make large-scale maps of over
three million square miles of territory
is a gigantic task. But it is hoped and
believed that 1t will be achieved. One
danger lies in REORGANIZATION. There
are ut present no fewer than eleven
map-making and three map-using
boards operating under government
control. 1t will readily be seen that
the bureau of soils needs one kind OF
map. the bureau of Indian affairs an
other. But, except for highly special
lied work, the United States geological
survey would seem to be the logical
body to prepare the standard topo-
graphic maps. 1t has its own photo
photographic and engraving plants; and
the maps II has already produced have
been declared by experts to be the
equal of any.
II is safe to assume that 1t was the
excellence of detail Of the maps fur
nished us by the allies that led the
conference to feel that to do the work
for the whole country as France or
Germany had done it would take too
much time. Better a map with few
details now than one with all in the
distant future. One-third OF. the area.
of continental United States, exclusive
OF Alaska, has already been mapped in
this fashion. The establishment OF
basic horizontal and vertical controls
Is about half completed. And plan
has been worked out by which the vari-
Gus boards will cooperate. Making the
personnel permanent viii do much to
standardize the work.

GARAGE AND FORTY
AUTOMOBILES BURN
BUSINESS SECTION OF FULTON
FOR A TIME PERILED BY
FLAMES.

Mitchell, Feb. 16.-Fire destroyed
the Strong garage at the north end
of Main street in Fulton, Is miles
east of here, and for time it was
feared the entire business section of
the town would be wiped out. The
fire fighting apparatus from Mitchell
was called, but because of the wealth
er could not make the trip.
There were 40 automobiles in the
garage. All were burned. The loss
not counting the cars, is estimated
at about $4,000. The fire is be.
lieved to have been caused by an
overheated furnace in the garage
basement.
Two years ago practically every
building on Main street in Fulton was
wiped out by fire. Fearing a repeti.
tion of that disaster practically every
citizen in the town aided by scores
of farmers from the neighborhood
formed bucket brigades and with the
aid of two small chemical engines
prevented the spread of the flames
in spite of stiff north wind.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-President Will

vice of his physicians, family and
friends, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan, for
mer president American Medical as
sociation and professor of surgery a,
Rush Medical college, stated today
in a statement which he said was
based on known facts regarding the
Presidents illness. He said: 1.-The
Presidents stroke with resulting par
alysis of one side of the body is due
to a disease of the arteries of his
brain with a plugging up of the arter-
les which supply part of the right
side of his brain which controls his
left arm and leg. The disease of the
arteries is permanent and not tenn
porary condition. In other words the
President has a permanently dam
aged brain. He is evidently slowly
recovering from the paralysis of his
arm and leg and may recover fairly
well although never completely the
use of his limbs. But the diseased
arteries which were responsible for
the stroke and damaged brain remain
and will not be recovered FROM

One of the boys succeeded i'm win

to take care of $40 of the amount he
had won.
She began to question him as to
where he got the money, and, after
considerable questioning, he told how
he had obtained it.
His father was informed of what
had happened and began an investi-
cation, which resulted ih the arrest
of the man and all of the boys. They
were tried and the man was fined
$50 and costs and the boys $40 and
costs each.
They paid the fines and admitted
they had been taught a lesson.
While the boys were made to nay
for their misdoing they said it seemed
queer to them tiat they should be
picked up and the men who were
playing for so much larger amounts
were left alone.
1t is rumored that a general clean
up of the gambling places will be
made here. The women are planning

Lennon, Feb. 16.-As the result
of having wandered away during one

winter, Mrs. Louis Soderholm OF
Pretty Rock, has been brought to a
Lennon hospital in a pitiful condi-

Both her hands and her feet were

to be amputated in order to save her
life. A mail carrier who was max
ing his way through the storm found
the woman about three miles from
her home. A few minutes more and
she would have frozen to death.
Within year Mrs. Soderholm lost
her husband, son and baby by
death. and the series of misfortunes
affected her mind and while in this
condition she wandered away.

JOHN BULLOCK ON A
MISSION OF INQUIRY
STOCK RAISER WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
III. c. OF L. FIGHT.

Washington, Feb. 16.-What has
become of the government campaign
against the high cost of living was
the question asked here by John Bull
lock of the Black Hills, South Dako-
ia.
Mr.. Bullock is president of the live
stock growers of the Little Missouri
river section. The price of farm prod
uce is going down while costs of food
and clothing are going up. Mr.. Bull
lock said he can't figure this out in
view of the fight on living costs prom
ised last summer by the administra-
tion. In statement he said:
"Cattle, sheep and hogs have
dropped 100 per cent since last Au-
gust in price. Consumers have moth
ing to look forward to but much high
er prices than now prevail. Eight per
cent of the breeding stock is going
to market, butter will be SIS pound
and milk 81 per quart. Press inter-
views with government officials can
not make feed for live stock. Young
men by the million refuse to raise
feed on farms while the packers take
the profit.
''The packers claim they make one
fifth of cent. On this they float
yachts in Ireland in summer, Flori-
da in winter and close to Washing
ton in the fall. Out of this one-fifth
of a cent they buy European nobility
for their daughters, art galleries cost
ing millions, palaces everywhere. But
none of this comes out of either the
producer or the consumer. Hence
these two classes should not complain
about this one-fifth of a cent and the
federal trade commission should be
properly guillotined, together with
Francis Heeney and all others who
object to legitimate business"

BANDITS KILL TWO;
ESCAPE WITH PLUMBER
TWO UNMASKED MEN MAKE DAY.
LIGHT RAID In HEART OF
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, Fem. 16.-While
hundreds were passing by the place
two men were shot and killed and a
woman was shot by two bandits in
the office Of Liberty bond broker
age company at Turk street, in the
heart of the business district here.
The men, E. r.. Stroud, one of the
proprietors of the place, and H. A.
Bohlman, a stranger looking for
work, were slain as they grappled
with the bandits. Mrs. M. Lasater,
the bookkeeper, after receiving a bull
let in the head, seized a handful of
Liberty bonds and plunged through a
plate glass window to the street. Her
condition was said to be serious.
The bandits lodged through the
crowd, several members of which
tried to hold them, leaped into an au-
tomobile and sped away. The ma
chine was one believed to have been
stolen.
Although it was followed for blocks
by other cars and by persons on foot,
the car with the bandits soon was
swallowed up in the traffic. Teie-
grams We're sent Immediately to all
police headquarters in central Cali
fornia with full description of the
men.
Both bandits were unmasked. One
wore a mustache. Whether the BAN
dts obtained anything cannot be de-
termined until check is made. Mrs.
Lasater said they might have taken
several thousand dollars wirth OF
bonds.

Marriage and Divorce"
'If the girls are engaged in busi-
ness at the time of marriage. they
should continue their work." Mrs.
Stevenson said.
Young people are capable of max
ing up their minds at these ages"
said Mrs. Stevenson and from a hy-
gienic standpoint and from the view
point of developing better progeny
these are the best ages. Happier
homes result from earlier marriages
and there are fewer divorces"
