BOOK OF Wars. Again in its latest
issue, Jan Bird, 1t warns us against
the, "insidious, propaganda" of which
so many newspapers are full, select
ed and phrased so as to fan the fires
Of hatred for Mexico" and calls or
the American Legion to counte-act it
A week or two ago there was a
large meeting at Carnegie hall to OPP
pose this war-urging propaganda: and
many well.known clergymen. If my
memory serves me, were present.

OFFICIALS EXPECT
EARLY IMPROVEMENT
IN CAR SITUATION
(By The Associated Press. }

Chicago, ILL.,, July 3.-If the car sit
uation can be held SO that conditions
do not become any worse, it is belfev-
led by rail officials that in ten days,
material Improvement win be shown In
the western territory. The commits,
sion's' order sending $4,000 empty grain
cars cars from the east to the west is in
process Of execution, but because OF
slow movement, results are not yet in
evidence 5..'''t- rs ~ ~ Z.
One One big western road covering Iowa
atherr e extensively at tits time Of the
year usually has 5000 empty grain cars
On side tracks iii that state awaiting
the grain movement, it was said. This
year that line has not single empty
car IN Iowa. Many railway men, how
ever, are of the opinion that it is not
wise to store cars as it tends to create
famine in other localities, they say.
This road has been mentioned as the
receiving line for 1000 grain cars
ordered from the New York, New Hav-
en- 4 Hartford railway. Another line
that was to receive some of the cars
from the west has to date received only
seven or eight cars, it was said.

Never in the history Of the news
paper business has it been so difficult
for publishers Of small newspapers to
get out their publications, especially
Is this true as regards small dailies
using print paper from rolls. This
paper is hard to get and
as it is manufactured in three
sizes i, the publisher cannot always
choose the size he wants. 1t is hard to
get the required amount of paper and
the publisher must accept the sizes
he can get. This explains why many of
the small papers are forced to issue
smaller sizes from time to time than
they want to Or than the advertising
patronage Of the paper warrants. But
the publishers are doing the best they
can and there are few subscribers so
unreasonable as to complain.

FIND ILLICIT
BOOZE AT BELM0ND
Officers Raid Private Booze
Plants There and Make
Haul.

Clarion Clipper: Sheriff Fisher as
sisted Dan A. Kelly, internal revenue
officer from Fort Dodge, in raid on
some private booze plants at Belmond
Tuesday afternoon, and considerable
quantity Of illicit booze wast destroyed
and the plants for making it were seiz-
ed and destroyed. Peter Christoff was
the only man arrested. He will be
tried on state charge of operating a
still. 1t is more than likely the others
will be arrested OH a federal charge,
that of making moonshine whiskey.
Four men are implicated in the lille
gal business. All arc foreigners. Pete
Christoff is Bulgarian; John
Kudren, G. Golubiff, and John Stroker
are Russian. Christoff had % gallons
of raisin mash Oh hand when the Off
Gals walked into his plant. kruden
had 25-gallOn key Of raisin wine and
one quart of real corn whiskey. Golu-
biff had fright smart" supply, %
gallon kegs Of raisin wine and three
quarts of raisin whiskey. StrOker had
complete still and worm, but it had
not yet been set up. He was about
ready for business, however, as %
gallons of corn mash were on hand,
He had ten quarts of wine and whiskey
mixed.
This represents pretty big assort-
ment of jays for the Fourth Of July,
and it is pretty certain that the men
had disposed of more or less booze be-
fore the raid.
