Semi-Wild Horses Menace to Farmers
 in Middle West

Sioux Falls, s. D.. Feb. 14.-Thous- ands of horses which were turned loose on the open ranges in some sections of Northwestern South Da- kota. Southeastern Montana and Northeastern Wyoming last fall, have become a serious menace to the small stockmen and homestead CTS of that region. Roundup par ties have been suggested to remove the menace and at the same time do a humane act, for the horses face starvation on the open range.
 The semi-wild animals gather about the corrals of, the small stockmen and homesteaders to grab the small quantities of hay~sseh'ch the stockmen and ranchers are ius- ing to keep their cattle and sheen warm until spring, when they can again be turned on the open range.
 In some instances the semi wild horses break through corrals to get at stores of hay, and it is with the greatest difficulty that they are driven away.
 Because of the low market price in these parts numerous raisers turned horses loose last fall.

47,658 Gallons of
 Real Whiskey in
 MeXicans' Hands

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 14.--Forty- seven thousand, six hundred and fifty eight gallons of real whisky!
 That is the amount of fred flicker" Uncle Sam's officials in Fl Paso passed across the international line into Juarez, the Mexican oasis oppo- site this city, from January 1 tosmid- night of January 16, when shipping of the merry water" ceased in. the United States. w. w. Carpenter, collector of customs, says so.
 Getting down to pints, the export ations here for the sixteen days of the new year equalled about 381 800 "hip-pocket" filters, woHth, at the Eli Paso "market price," approximately $2.o9o,oO0.
 The last barrel that will lever" be shipped from Ell Paso to Juarez with Uncle Sam's approval, contained thirty seven gallons of the finest Kentucky bourbon. And when the "precious" load was driven away the only thing left in the bonded ware house in the liquor line was the "odor of yesteryear."
 The last obsequies were put on in style. The customs officers wore crepe on their left arms. A large bunch of black ribbon adorned the barrel. Joe Dyer, veteran customs inspector, insisted on handling the final barrel in person. Carefully he rolled out the heavy container from the government store house and helped lift it on the wgon. The other crepe -bedecked inspectors ut tered a feeble cheer, the driver cracked his whip, and the last "drop" started across the Rio Grande. And now the only thing customs officers have to worry about is to see that none of those thousands of gallons of whisky try to play return engagement in Fl Paso. Mexican fiscal guards in Jua- reg promise to cooperate With the Americans in preventing any such maneuver.
 Liquor smugglers received se- lious rap on January IT, when Cap tain Paul Delgado, chief of the Jua- reg fiscal guards, acting upon in. .structions from Mexico City, stopped the transportation of liouor to the villages just east of that city. He immediately closed the saloons in San Ignacio, Guadalupe and Zarra- goza, all situated near the Rio Grande and from which Mexican au- thorities declare much liouor had been smuggled into Texas. The or der did not affect the shipment of H. auors southward into Mexico.

Heavy Snow Sends
 Potatoes UuWard

Ashland, Wis.,, Feb. 14.-The heavy snowfall in Wisconsin is playing an important part in boosting the price of potatoes and other farm commodi- ties according to local dealers. Not in years has the cold been continu- ously as intense as this winter. Not in years has there been such a snow fall. In many parts of northern Wis consin the road beds have been filled with snow to depth of four to five feet. As a consequence no potatoes have been, brought into the cities for weeks. The price of potatoes con- tinues to rise and this is more or less true of butter and eggs and other farm products. It is expected that when potatoes and other farm prod ucts begin to flood the markets in April the prices will be forced down at once. At present they are rising.
