|NTER-CHuRCH CAMPAIGN
MEETS WITH SUCCESS

With a hundred million. dollars
actually raised to date and the dis
covery that hundreds of people, who
are willing to give to the Inter-
church World Movement, have not
been asked to do so, caused the an
nouncement today that the whole
machinery of all the .denominational
campaigns as we'll as the general
campaign organization, would be
turned loose the week Of May 2 for
a strenuous effort to give every per-
son the opportunity to say yes or no
to request for the support of the
church.
"There are thousands of dollars
waiting to be given for the advance
ment of Christian work in North
Dakota that require only the asking
on the part of some interested per-
son." said Wesley Mcdowell, state
campaign director, in making the
announcement.

BREAKER OF PROHIBITION
LAWS ARRESTED TUESDAY
Had Complete Distilling Outfit, Selling
Beverage Regardless of Laws

A scene that is SUPP POSED stQ happen
only in the mountain regions of
Kentucky was pulled off Tuesday
evening, when Sheriff Albert Spar
row and Deputy Oscar Johnson RAD
ed farm west of town and captured
two gallons of booze, a complete
still, and prisoner.
For a number of weeks it has been
known that certain party was
eyading and breaking the United
States prohibition laws, making al
|cholic beverages, but at the time did
not seem ripe to make raid, the
authorities had postponed it until a
time when they knew that the still
could be raided with satisfactory re-
suits. Matters came to a head
Tuesday, as it was discovered that
the law-breaker was running wide
open, planning on taking himself to
a new location before anything like
law should make it's appearance.
job and at 1880 Tuesday evening
drove out to within half mile Of
the place and walked the rest of the
distance, completely surprising the
inhabitants who were found to be
|slumbering peacefully.
After placing the guilty party un-
der arrest, a search of the premises
revPaled that complete still had
been constructed in the granary and
had been running all day and also
all night. The man had all the
equipment necessary for distilling,
including a stove, copper wash boiler
and condenser. The condenser was
made by running coiled tube
through barrel of water, so that
the vapor from the boiling mixture
of water and raisins would pass
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1920-05-06

through the tube in the barrel and
the condensed liquid, the "real
stuff" ran from the tube into a re-
ceptacle, which, as before stated
contained two gallons of the finished
product-very similar to clear alco-
hol.
The authorities were quite certain
that some of the mixture in process
of fermentation was on the farm
|someplace, but a thorough search
revealed nothing. No more of the
"moonshine" was found other than
by the still. From all reports the
man had done flourishing business

and go steadily all day and it is
probable that all the extra supply
was exhausted. Fifteen dollars pei

ing price Of the beverage.

sinner had started up the still but
seemed to have been warned as he
"laid low" for the next fortnight
BY Tuesday, however, he seemed to
have regained confidence that every
thing was alright and started his
manufacturing process again. This
was just what the authorities were
waiting for, and as result of his
defiance of law, the prisoner now
awaits disposal at the hands Of the
United States courts. The man is
a foreigner and is newcomer In
this neighborhood. It has been re.
ported that he has before seen ser.
vice in places of correction and as
this is another violation of the laws
of the land, it is needless to say that
the court will not be very lienient
with him.
