Anthem to Moonshine
Parodied on America

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Sept. "a.
r TITLE groups of moonshiners
with deep bass voices may be
found any night in the hills and
dales singing the sweet strains OF
a new anthem. The impressive
composition, the text Of which
appeared in the Congressional
Record to-day at the request Of
Senator Stanley (Ky.), has been
dedicated to the Eighteenth
Amendment. This is it:
My Country, 'tis of thee.
Land of grape juice and tea,
OF thee l sing.
Land where we all have tried
To break the law and lied:
From every mountain side
The bootlegs spring.
My native country, thee,
Land of home breweries,
Thy brew I love.
l love thy booze that thrills
And thy Illicit stills
Thy moonshine runs in rills
From high above.

The antl-beer bill, which has been
blocking the entire legislative pro-
gramme 70 rthe last week. was showed
into the parliamentary pigeonhole to-
day BY the combined pressure for rati-
fication Of the peace treaties and the
passage Of the tax bill.
After obstinately holding the anti
beer bill before the Senate 10 the ex-
clusion OF all other business for three
days, Senator Sterling (S. Dak.), leader
of the radical drys. gave up tempo
rarily at least and agreed to offer no
further interference with the treaties
and the tax bills.
This gives to the filibustering vets 4
breathing spell. They will be ready to
resume whenever the drys attempt to
bring up the anti-beer bill again. Sem
ator Sterling promised to bring up the
measure again at the earliest pariia-
mentary opportunity after the tax bill
anG the treaties were out of the way.
'Those interested in adoption of the
conference report on the anti-beer bill
may be assured of final favorable action
of the Senate thereon" said Senator

ton director Of Pennsylvania.
Reports from Prohibition Director
Hart of New York and other officials
supervising enforcement tend to show
that large amount of liquor is finding
its way into Illicit channels from Penn
sylvania distilleries.
The question of what can be done by
the Federal authorities to cut down this
flow of liquor was discussed. Officials
frankly state that up to the present time
they have been almost powerless TO re-
duce the flow of liquors. in view of the
fact that permit privileges have been
restricted as far as II is consistent to go.
What officials described as the ''hu-
man element" is the most perplexing
feature of the whole problem. They are
completely baffled by methods employed
by some holders of withdrawal permits
In aiding others in diverting whiskey
and other intoxicants withdrawn to
other than legal uses.

Politics was blamed by William j.
Bryan to-day for wet control of the
liquor machines in some of the most inn
portant States where bonded warehouses
are principally located. He denounced as
a foolish policy" the placing of recog-
nized anti-prohibitionists in office to
supervise the administration or the Vol
stead law.
Mr.. Bryan saw in this dominance by
the vets one OF the gravest dangers now
confronting prohibition in the United
States. He said he considered it danger
Gus because State prohibition directors
in some States where the vets have their
strongholds were out OF sympathy. He

WAR EXPLOSIVE FOR
PEMISCOT COUNTY

The L. S. War Department has
turned over 100000 pounds OF
picric acid to the L. 5. Department
of Agriculture to be distributed at
cost through the Bureau OF Public
Roads, among the various states.
Missouri has been given an allot-
ment of 100000 pounds. The ma
terial is put up in siX-ounce cart
ridges. These are equivalent III
explosive power to the regular eight
ounce stick of dynamite. 1t must
be used for land development only
and not more than 1000 pounds will
be sold to any one person.
The delivered cost of this war sal
vaged picric acid will depend upon
handling costs including freight and
other transportation charges. 1t Is
delivered f. O. b. cars at Sparta, Wis.
or Gallup, N. Mex, at the cost or

pound. The maximum delivered

above - cents per pound, even when
it must be hauled by truck from a
central point to outside points OF de-
livery.
The first orders received will be
shipped from Sparta, Wis, which
will mean a saving of over two cents
a pound in freight charges as
against the latter shipments which
will come from Gallup, N. Mex.
Every farmer in Pemiscot county
who wants some Of this explosive for
shooting stumps, stones or bitches
should write NJ. d. Amburgey, of the
Pemiscot County Farm Bureau, Ca
ruthersville, Mo-, notifying him Of
the amount desired. Do this imme-
diately. Unless we can make up
carload order in this and adjoining
counties it will not be possible to
get the material at all. 1t is hand
led only in carload lots. New Mad
rid county is making up car and
we can get ours shipped with their
order in case we cannot get a car
load for this county.

POULTRY CULLING
DEMONSTRATIONS

The County Agent plans to give a
number of poultry culling demonstra-
lions, over the county during the lat
ter part of this month and the first
OF next. Communities desiring this
work should send in their applica-
tions. 1t would be best for several
poultry raisers to arrange to meet
at one place so that they can get the
benefits of the work. 1t will not be
possible to Gull every flock of chick
ems, but is it possible for every per-
son to meet at one point and see the
work done there. This will enable
many to 60 back and Gull their own
flocks.
