EASY MATTER NOW, NABBIN'
KAINTUCK'S "MOONSHINERS'

CONVICTION, KY, Mar. Moon
shining in Kentucky is far different
from the swashbuckling, romantic,
feud-like pictures seen in the movies
or described in popular fiction.
That is what John w. Menzies says
about it. And Menzies ought to
know as much about moonshining as
anybody else. He is clerk of the fed
Neral court of the eastern district of
Kentucky and listens to scores of such
eases in any session of the six courts
in his district.
Seldom do the "revenoors" and the
mountaineers engage in spectacular
rifle battles-so popular a generation
ago, Menzies said. When a United
States marshal wants "moonshiner"
to appear in court to answer a charge
he frequently goes to the phone and
says something like this:
"Hello, Bill. The judge wants to
see you at 9 o'clock tomorrow"
And Bill usually shows up.
There is plenty of moonshining 60
ing on now in the hills of eastern
Kentucky, according to government
reports. Wartime prohibition got it
started anew, and now constitutional
aridness has boosted the movement
along. But the whisky" makers are
amateurs, who not only are easily
caught but who produce a brand of
drink that is poisonous even to the
metal-lined stomachs of the noun
taineers themselves.
"Who Shot" is the newest brand of
moonshine liquor made 1t has re-
Gently been added to the famous old
Mountain Dew" and "White Light
nin'." 1t is male from a recipe that
includes potato peelings and practic-
ally everything else in the mountains
that will produce alcohol:
And it is said to be "mighty pow
full"
Prices of the brews have advanced,
like everything else. A gallon that
used to bring rs cents to $1.50 now
brings SIP to SIS.
Menzies said an average "run' of
a "still" is from 9 to IL gallons, and
there is usually about a gallon for
each person at "still party" They
drink all they can fresh from the
"worm" and then carry the rest away
in crock jars.

MONTESANO, Wash, March L.
Testemony of DR.. ]. F. Bickford, a
supposed star for the defense in the
Centralia Armistice day murder trial,
corroborated the contention of the
prosecution that Lieut.. Warren Grimm
was murdered 100 feet from the l.
w. w. hall.
Bickford's testimony was very dra-
matte, for it had been announced by
the defense in the opening statement
of counsel that they would prove by
Bickford that the American Legion
men were killed in an attack they
were making upon the 1. w. w. hall
and headquarters. His testimony that
Grimm was killed 100 feet further
along the street than the front of the
hall was as strong disproof of the
contention of the defense that he was
killed in attacking the hall as if it
had been drawn out from the witness
testifying in behalf of the state-in
fact, it was stronger, for Bickford
was not witness for the state; he
was put upon the stand by the de-
fenSe.
Bickford's testimony was veri-
table boomerang for the defense.

WOMAN
SHUNS NOSE RINGS

Civilized woman refuses to wear
nose rings. They are a badge of
slavery. But civilized woman still
wears a wedding ring, which has the
same significance as the savage wo-
mans nose ring.
Divorce makes it possible for civil
lied woman to cast off this little
band of bondage. Sometimes she is
forced to cast it off against her will,
because divorce laws are such that
the husband can frame charges
against the woman he no. longer
loves.
Thus Gladys Brockwell is caught
in "The Divorce Trap" sensational
William Fox production to day at the
Royal theatre. But because she is a
good woman she succeeds in finding
happiness in spite of her husbands
wicked connivance with crooked
friends. The story is said to be
very strong one.

A ROAD LAWSUIT

The Baca Float Grant owners, rep
resented by Mr.. Weldon Bailey, were
before the board of supervisors yes
terday ON the matter of county
road traversing their property, which
they had fenced up, and which Sher-
iff r. r. Earhart, acting under in
structions from County Attorney Les
lie j. Hardy, had reopened by tear
ing away the fence obstructing the
road.
An injunction from the United
States court at Tucson was served on
the board, prohibiting further inter-
ference with the grant fence closing
the road. A date is set for hearing
on the temporary injunction.
Mr.. Bailey rendered compromise.
He offered to dismiss the proceed
ings if the county would consent to
installation of gates and cattle
guards.
County Attorney Hardy held that
the board has no power to consent to
such an agreement, and the board,
following his opinion, declined the
compromise.
Mr.. Bailey assured the board that
the U. S. courts will sustain the con-
tention Of the grant owners.
Chairman Harrison replied that, as
the road had been established by law
long before the grant owners had
ever established their ownership, this
would be as good a time as any to
determine whether the Arizona road
law is of any binding force.

RENO, Nev., March For ten
years Judge Thomas F. Moran has
been hearing divorce cases in this
well known city. The most novel
cause for divorce is an old story to
him. Scarcely a city in the United
States but has its man or woman who
has been given freedom by this
judge.
And now comes Judge Moran with
curative for the divorce evil, and
he prefaces it with the statement
that divorces are becoming more
prevalent, even in Reno.
In an interview with the United
Press today Judge Morap discredited
the theory that divorces can he
stopped and marriages made happy
by legislation.
'There is no law which a legislature
can enact that will improve the NOR
ais of a country" he said. "Such i'm
provements are made generally under
the care and guidanace of parental
training, with the aid of proper edu-
cation.
"The solution of the divorce prob
lem lies in the home and in the
school,"
Urging that more safeguards Be
thrown about marriages, the Judge
gave a few words of advice for parI
ents.
PARENTS" he said, "should know
whom the children meet until they
reach an age where they can take
care of themselves. TIL father and
mother should tell the son and daugh-
ter things relating to sex and mar
riage before they can learn these
things improperly. The father should
be his sons chum. Then this boy will
be better able to choose the mate
wisely and will himself be a better
mate"
He estimated that he had heard
probably 1000 divorce cases during
his ten years on the bench.
E. X. Beemer, clerk of the district
court, said 784 divorce cases were
filed here in 1919. Of these, more
than 700 we're granted or are still
pending. Very few were. denied.
"Sixty-six per cent of the cases
come from New York." said Beemer.
"New Jersey sendse large number" "

SOME FORM OF
FEDERATIO N
FOR WORLD
NECESSARY

RICHMOND, CAL, March 1.-Da-
vid Starr Jordan, president emeritus
of Stanford university, in a speech
last night at the eighteenth western
states cooperative convention here,
declared that if the civilized world is
to be rescued from the barbarism in
herent in unchecked sovereignty, some
form of world federation must be
adopted.
"And this must be a federation of
free peoples, not holy alliance" of
kings and diplomatists," he contin-
ued. "And it must involve abatement
of the conception of absolute and un-
checked sovereignty of nations.
"Just as the individual entering
human society must round off his
rough angles, so must the state in a
world of liberty restrict its possibili-
ties of harmful action towards 9th
ers.".
Within most civilized nations a de-
gree of freedom, order and justice
has now been established, Jordan as
serted, but relative chaos still rules
between one nation and another.
"The acceptance of the principle
that nations as we'll as Individuals
are responsible to a moral order will
mark the end of the medieval era in
world, politics." he said, in conclu-
sion.

NELLIE HAYWARD
OUT FOR STATE
SECRETARY
douglas International


Mrs. Nellie Hayward of this city
returned yesterday from Phoenix,
where she had been to attend the spe-
cial session of the Arizona legisla-
ture. Mrs. Hayward is much graft
fled because of the fact that all
agreed that the resolution which she
presented for the ratification of the
national womans suffrage convention
should be passed without any altera-
tion whatever. She invited other wo-
men members Of the legislature to
jointly present the resolution, but it
remains that it was accepted as the
Hayward resolution" and was pass
ed without the crossing of ct" or
the dottingof an "i." The passage
of the resolution occupied only ten
minutes in the house, as Mrs. Hay
ward, who is chairman of the enroll
ing and engrossing committee in the
house, had already had the bill en-
crossed so as to avoid any delay.
Candidate for Secretary of State.
Mrs. Hayward stated today that
she is a candidate for secretary of
state and will make the race in the
democratic primary, feeling that the
encouragement she has already re-
ceived from democrats in various sec
tions of the state fully warrant her
doing so.
81 feel that l am competent to dis
charge the duties of this office and
will render the best service 1 am cap
able of should be elected" she said.
Mrs. Hayward has resided in Ari-
zona for sixteen years, practically
all the time in Douglas. Six months
ago she was made state chairman of
the National Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation, and because of this position
it was agreed that she was the proper
person to lead the suffrage amend
ment through the Arizona legislature.
In 191 she was the representative
from Arizona at the national suf-
frage association in San Francisco.
Will Tour State.
Following the announcement of her
candidacy for secretary of state to-
day Mrs. Hayward said she would
make campaign Of the entire state
and would begin this week by attend
ing the state cattlemen's convention
in Tucson, having received an invi-
tation to do so from a number of the
members of the association. From
Tucson Mrs. Hayward will go to
Phoenix, where she will attend the
meeting of the democratic state CEN
tral committee, which will meet next
Saturday for the purpose of naming
the delegates from Arizona to the
National democratic convention in
San Francisco next June. The name
of Mrs. Hayward has been mentioned
in connection with this delegation and
she said today that if it was agree
able to give one of the six delegates
to lady she would feel highly hon
ored if selected.
The foregoing from the Douglas
International finds a responsive ap-
\proval among democrats in Santa
Cruz county, and the lady will re-
ceive strong support here. Some of
the most prominent members of the
party here have declared in her IA
vor, and thir influence is widening
the support given her. The lady has
made fine record and there is no
doubt of her abundant ability for the
