Whisky Special Raced
From Peoria to Sea
Twenty-Seven Cars Rushed Out of
u. S. A.

The final chapter on the Peoria gin
limited is written.
Unheralded and known to but Jew
the 100000 booze train left Peoria
at ZOO O'Clock yesterday morning.
fully eighteen hours ahead of its
schedule on the initial lap OF its mad
dash to the seashore from whence it
will be rushed outside the three-mile
limit at sea before expiration of the
bonds on midnight of January IA.
Working feverishly and with the
utmost secrecy efforts were redoubled
to hasten the loading of the train that
it might get under way as quickly as
possible. Secret vows were enjoined
on every employee with the result that
no crowd was on hand to speed bon
voyage.
Guards, we'll armed, and under strict
orders, were assigned to each OF the
twenty-seven cars lest some over zeal
GUS liquor hound along the golden
route might wreck the valuable train
in an effort to try out its cargo.
Is Record Shipment
The former whisky trains which
used to leave Peoria when this city
was Mecca for visitors from dry
territory appear as mere upstarts
when compared to this booze palace
on wheels. Every car contained Us
barrels of gin.--Peoria Transcript.

about fifty years in fighting the liquor
business in Chicago, I say to you that
the fight is not over, that there is a
great deal to be done, yet, in America,
in Chicago and in many other places.
Let us remember the value of one,
and how the aMster emphasized the
value of one.

 22i-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. August 7.-(SpeciaL)- Activities of the state militia depart ment with the largest force probably in the history of the department had been temporarily moved to Camp Mc- Clellan. Anniston, Ala. where the an- nual encampment of the National Guard of Alabama starts Sunday.
 The actual work will begin Monday, the biggest part of Sunday being de- voted to the placing of tents and preparations of the fifteen-d day encamp- ment, the first to be held since the de- mobilization of the guard following the world war.
 Before leaving Montgomery Sunday for Mcclellan, Col. Hartly A. Moon, ad Jutant general, said that it appeared this would be one of the most sue cessful encampments ever held, all though the guard strength is only about 1000 men and officers.
 Among those leaving with Colonel Moon were Capt. Hardwell D. Davis assistant attorney general, who recent ly received an official citation for bravery during the war, and Capt. Her man Bompson. assistant adjutant gen eral, who was dangerously wounded in action. Captain Davis is second in command at Mcclellan, and Captain Thompson is third.

IOWA CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
Corn Crop Above Normal in Two
Thirds of State.

Ely Associated Press.
Des Moines, July 2S.-Crop pros
poets in general are good in this
state. Corn in more than thirds
OF Iowa is above normal, but a good
general rain in the next few days
would be beneficial, the weekly crop
bulletin issued by the United States
weather bureau today says.
Considerable winter wheat has been
threshed in the southern part or the
state, which is the largest producing
section. The yield has run from
twenty to forty-five bushels an acre,
te sting sixty to lsixty-two pounds per
bushel and grading No. 2 or higher.
While no threshing returns from
sI,ring wheat have been received, the
yield and quality are expected to be
poor. especially in the western and
northern portion of the state.
The crop of timothy seed is ex-
pected to be below the average. First
crop clover, cut for seed in Henry
county, is yielding up to three but
shells an acre.
In the large potato producing
counties Of the north central portion
Of the state, new potatoes are so
good and plentiful that they are be-
ing sold. at reduced prices, while at
Des Moines and Marshalltown the
price was reported $4 a bushel and
farther south even higher.
