VIRGINIA STILLS INCREASE
Head Raider Despairs of Stopping H.
Ilcit DistiIlers Unless Public
Helps.

Danville, Va.-Illicit distilling in the
Western district of Virginia has reach
ed such a stage that w. 3. Stusser, in
charge of raiding activities, issued an
appeal for the cooperation of the
public. Unless the public soon real
ICES the seriousness Of the situation,
the making of whisky in this section
will get beyond control, he says.
Illicit distillers have such an ade-
quate information service that the ar
rival of revenue agents at any one
point is known at once. More than
two tons of sugar were found stored
in an old distillery forty miles from a
railway. By stopping moonshiners'
supplies the agents hope to curb dis
filling.

Warsaw, July 13.-Victories for the

ceived here.
The bolshevist cavalry leader, Gen
eral Budenny, has been defeated, the
advices stated, and he is fleeing to
Rovno, upon which the Poles are
marching.
The victory Of the Poles in the Pri-
pet region, is described as complete"
Enormous supplies are declared to

Bolshevist Successes Recognized.
London, July 13.-A MoscowFwireless
dispatch recounting the successes
scored by the bolsheviki in their often

front of 73 miles 1--WE captured more
than 1000 prisoners, 10 guns, one
tank, many machine guns, consider
able amount of other munitions and

enormous damage inflicted on the

''In general the enemy is retreating

Allies Terms Displease Poles.
Spa, July 13.-The Polish delega-
ton at the conference here is under
stood to be very much dissatisfied
with the terms Of a note sent by the
allies to the Russian soviet govern
ment proposing an armistice between
the bolshevist and Polish armies.
They feel, however, that they will be
obliged to accept it.
The proposal for the armistice was
made on condition that the Poles re-
tire within their natural Polish from
tier. It is set forth that the armistice
will be followed by a conference Of
representatives Of all the countries on
the Russian border and that if the
bolsheviki attack the Poles within
these frontiers the allies will go to the
aid Of Poland.
The Polish representatives appear
to be rather stunned by the announce
ment that Great Britain has concluded
arrangements with the soviet concern
ing commercial intercourse.

MILLION MORE FARMS
Census Returns Show Increase

shown in the agricultural census now
being taken in connection with the gen.
eral census, officials said. Approx

the cities are not supported by CEN
sus returns so far tabulated. POpula-
ton returns have been announced for
about 900 cities and towns. A study
of the 1920 returns as compared with
the 1910 returns for most of these cit
les show that their populations did not
increase as fast during the decade
just ended as in the decade from 1900
to 1910. The increase in 10000 was
294 per cent, while the increase dur
ing the $1,000 decade was 24.8 per
cent. These comparisons indicate
that the drift of population from farms
to city has not been as alarming as
was supposed.
Census returns also show that the
populations of big cities are not in
creasing in as great proportion as cit
les of the second class, comprising
second class cities have increased in
size more than 100 per cent, according
to the 1920 returns. Few cities Of
the first class so far announced in
creased more than % per cent.
Completed census returns for 1920
will show at least 100 cities in the
100000 or better class, it is estimated.
In 1910 the United States only con-
tanned so cities of 100000 or more.

NEED OF SANITATION
Spain AWakens to Necessity Of
Improved Hygiene.
Movement Launched to Promote the
Health of People by Mod
ern Methods.

Madrid.-Spaniards are awakened
: to the necessity of improved hygienic
measures to decrease the mortality of
this country.
Severafsof the leading. newspapers
have joined in a demand that a minis
try of health be organized to give prop
er attention to sanitary conditions in
factories and houses, to reduce acct
dents to workers and to have charge
of the erection of cheap houses for
the poor, to provide old age pensions,
health insurance, maternity allowances,
prevention Of epidemics and hygienic
instruction for the people.
One newspaper quotes Doctor Juar-
vos as having asserted that smallpox,
diphtheria and tuberculosis had in
creased enormously, that births had de-
creased and the death rate among in
fants grown to such an extent that
these deaths now comprise 20 per cent
of the national mortality.
An infinitesimal number of houses
boast of bath, he said, public baths
were entirely lacking, and the houses
Of the poor were so badly constructed
that the occupants did not have as
many conveniences as were afforded
by the prison.
The Institute Of Civil Engineers has
taken up the subject and is agitating
for hygienic measures to reduce the
death rate.

HAPPY THO EWCTED

"TentviIIe," Created by Newark, NJ.
j., and War Department Is
Solution

Newark, ". J.-One hundred and
| ten families, evicted by landlords, are
comfortably housed in Vailsburgh park
today under tents loaned to the city
of Newark by the war department.
1t is expected that before the end Of
summer 200 more families will have
joined the little colony.
Capt. Thomas w. Reilly, a machine
gun officer overseas, laid out the place
and gave each arrival a "first come,
first served choice of location. One
of them was a widow with four chill
dren. She received an order to vacate
her apartment after failing to defeat
her landlord in lawsuit.
The city appropriated $4,000 for the
operation of the camp and Governor
Edwards donated big tent which in
the center serves as q community
kitchen. Army food from the munich
pal sales stations helps further to keep
down the cost Of living. The new set
Element is provided with many con-
veniences, including a sewerage sys-
tenn, running water, laundry tent
equipped with tubs and stoves for
ironing, shower baths and sanitary
Closets.
The total cost of installing the i'm
provements was less than $500, ac-
cording to Captain Reilly, the largest
single item being 500 for heavy in
sulated wire for electric lights. Sol
diers and number of city employees
helped to put up the tents and lay
the 16 by 16-foot board flooring three
feet from the ground. Most of the In
