CHICAGO BREWERS
MAKING BEER
UNITED STATES MAY TAKE
OVER THE BREWERIES.

Chicago, Oct. 8.-Every brewery
in the Chicago district may be taken
over by the government as a result
Of the discovery that practically all
of them are turning out immense
quantities of 4 and per cent beer.
Federal sleuths have secured am
pie evidence that all the "dry" sal
oons and Soft drink parlors are be-
ing supplied regularly with the sort
of beer that sold before the prohibit
tion law went into effect. Most of
them are also well supplied with
moonshine whisky, thousands of gal
Ions of which are being manufactur-
ed by Illicit distillers. One of these
distillers, caught in a recent raid,
sneered at the government attempts
to stop him, saying:
Probably the worst they will
hand me will be $500 fine and they
broke up my still. I can get another
outfit for $50 and I should worry
as had been making over a thou
sand dollars a day. What is $500
fine in a business like that? I should
worry"

bers disguised as policemen. is said
to have found its way back into pos
session of mike de Pike" Heitler.
Federal officials raided two ware
houses Wednesday in the hope OF
capturing this stock, but both were
empty. 1t is said this whisky has
been sold, stolen and resold six
times. Saloonkeepers would buy
part of the stock, would be robbed
of 1t during the process of delivery
and they dared make no complaint
1t would be slipped back into the
warehouse of the whisky ring" and

Hanceville, whose proprietors receiv-
ed similar warning, closed yesterday,
but storesat Garden City and Hance-

FLAMING PLANE
MAKES MILE DROP
FIREPROOFYNG COMPOUND AND
DARKNESS FLYING DEVICE
DEMONSTRATED.

New York, Oct. 8.-Experts of the
army and navy aviation service to
day were preparing reports to the
government on the hying demonstra-
tion of flaming, Ioil soaked, fire
proofed airplane and it's midnight
landing device, witnessed by then
last night at Mineola. American and
British experts who saw the spectac-
ular demonstration by Paul Collins,
a civilian flier, said it was marked
one of the most importan develop
ments in aviation since the armis-
tice.
Particular Importance is attached
to it because of the recent loss of SO
many mail aviators caused by flam-
ing machines.
Before making his ascent to an
altitude of 5000 feet, Collins ma
chine was treated throughout with a
fireproofinf fluid and then complete
ly saturated with gasoline. Collins
himself donned Costume similarly
treated. At his highest altitude, he
set fire to the gasoline and thrilled
the countryside by his flaming comet
like course. On his descent, at about
1000 feet, he also touched off two
large flares of magnesium on the
tips of the wings, and, by manipulate
ing two large mirrors underneath the
fuselage, illuminated the whole land
ing field, enabling him to make a
perfect daylight" landing.

make SHIPMENT
Of STATE COAL
FIRST CONSIGNMENT UNDER
STATE OWNERSHIP CONSISTS
OF FIVE CARS-TO IN.
CREASE.

Pierre, Oct. 8.ZJThe first shipment
made the last of last week, amount
ing to five cars, which went to towns
in the northern part of the state
which have been using coal from this
mine in the past.
While it was necessary to haul
the coal three and half miles to
load it, it/was placed on the cars at
a cost of $3.50 a ton, and as soon
as the spur line is completed to the
mine it can be loaded at alower
rate.
1t is expected that the improve
ments will be completed to the mine
by the middle of next month, after
which the output will be 10 cars a
day, and this will be supplied to
South Dakota people at cost of min
ing and freight.
The fact that the towns which
have been using coal from the mine
are anxious to continue with the
same grade of coal is evidence that
it is satisfactory.
The state did lot of investigat-
ing before making purchase and
has secured a good property at a
reasonable price, and the people of
the state will be helped out with
several hundred cars of coal the COM
ing winter.
If a decent freight rate could be
secured from these mines there is no
reason why the demand for eastern
coal should not be materially de-
creased in South Dakota.

SUGAR SCARCITY AND PRICES

The scarcity of sugar is one of the
most discussed subjects Of the pres
ent day. There is little prospect Of
the situation becoming better in the
near future In commercial circles il is
predicted that the price will soar TO
25 cents per pound and will remain
at that figure until the Cuban crop be-
gins to arrive in large quantities. The
minimum price may not be less than
90 cents until late next fall. In ordi-
nary times the per capita consump-
ton of sugar amounts to about -
pounds per year and the increased
price will add considerably to the
living expenses of the ordinary family
If the per capita consumption remains
the same. There Is no use to place
the blame entirely upon the producers
and distributors for the conditions are
serious and we shall have tc make
the best of it for awhile People will
have to cut down on useless luxuries
or else do without their dole OF sugar
II they do not have the ready cash for
both.
