Anything portable that attans high value, whether
fictitious not, Immediately is made booty by those who
toll neither do they spin, and in way hold the laws in
great fear. So whiskey and hghclass liquors are now
almost generally and universally stolen automobiles
or diamond jewelry.
But what has become of it? Is it drunk by those who
carry off, is it sold clandestney and if the latter
what guaranty has the purchaser that it is Of the brand

A FELLOW-FEELINC.

Providence may be at work to give the ultimate con-
sumner fuller understanding and appreciation of the
labors difficulties and losses Of the original producers
of foodstuffs When such understanding and appre-
citation possible the people at the last end of the
food line are much more likely to abandon decisions
she the growers Of things getting such returns their
products as to put all Of them into the proteerng class
and to look for superfuous individuals who standing
somewhere between the ends Of the line multiply final
costs.
This is being made more possible by the experiences
of backyard and sdeyard city gardeners undertaking
to reduce the high of living by raising garden pro-
duce. William c. Hall, agricultural agent for the Dis
trict of Coumbia government appointee in drawing
picture of the trials and trbuations besetting,
and still to bese such gardeners, in the city of Wash
ington has drawn it for them in all other cities and
towns And the picture is far from being encourage
ing one Mr. Hall says tfx city gardener must, the
farmerdoes stand constant guard against the insect
pests seemingly organized against him and his success
He enumerates the potato bug chief among the de-
stroying insects already at work important food
crop and warns against plant lice and hoss of other
pests yet to
His advice how such enemies may be most success
fully combatted, involves in every case Of
labor from which the great majority of city gardeners
will feel ike shrinking, although il they do, their past
labor los-agan like the farmer Very much in point
is his prescription for the killing of the potato pests
Take old fiat pan, place little water in the bottom
and thin skim of kerosene top of the water, then
so along the rows of potatoes and knock the bugs from
the plants into the pans" Of course the real potato
grower does not do that way but sprays, in itself
costly and toilsome job The ultimate consumer may
conclude either that if the potato got all of the
high price he would be overpad that if the price
is needessly multiplied between him and the consumer
injustice being done both to and growers
In either case he viii feel for the man on the firing lines

Rum Runners are
Active on Border

ISLAND POINT, VT, July IT,
Hundreds Of men, many Of them arm
ed and desperate, are engaged in
smuggling liquor into the United
States from Canada, according to
customs officials here.

ters with smuggling bands, told Of
the activities Of the liquor runners.
On every hand were woods, and the
officer swept his arm outward as he
said:

"We do what we can--do all with

least ten men on border day alone.

able to handle the border work, for
we know the border and know how to
keep track of what is going on.

line to the greater extent, is done in
packs carried by groups of men,
sometimes three and sometimes more.

along to give warning in case of

Sometimes when there is an unus-
