DRUNKEN HOGS
LEAD To A STILL
Festive POrkers Had No Fear
Of VOlstead Act And Lead
Officers To An Illicit Still.

Suffolk, Va, May Drunken hogs,
rceling about with silly antics, led to
the discovery by Federal officers of
one of the biggest illicit stills ever
located in Nansemond county. The
Federal officers were out on road in
the neighborhood of Savage Crossing
when they noticed the strange actions
of the porkerS. The plant was a mile
from Savage Crossing and was a
steam outfit of two 60-gallon stills.
Fifteen hundred gallons of corn-meal
''mash" was on the spot and was
poured out on the ground TO the de-
light of the hogs. Twelve gallons of
pure corn whisky, which was still in
the filter, were confiscated and will be
turned over to the Federal authori-
ties in Norfolk. The still was in the
rear of u chicken farm owned by Nor
folk people. The operators of the
still evidently came all the way to
Suffolk, mostly at night. and operated
the still and went back to their homes
during the day
When the officers reached the still
they saw the hogs taking turns at
drinking the fermented liquor, with
out any fear of any violation of the
Volstead act. The still was destroyed,
but the officers failed to find the own
erS or operators.
People living in the neighborhoOd
had been complaining that their hogs
would not come home at night. The
discovery indicated that the four
legged hogs had been having one
grand, glorious. continuous jag, and
many of them were not able to reach
their home-they could only wabble
up to the still, drink little and reel
off to lie down in the mud.

GEDDES INVITES U. S.

Sir Auckland Geddes, British am
basSador. carried to the State Depart
ment today the formal invitation to
the United States from the allied DOW
ers to be represented on the supreme
council. the reparations commission
and the council of ambassadors. The
invitation was cabled from London
last night.
Comment as to the course the ad-
ministration would take was with
held, pending study of the invitation.
There were intimations today in some
official quarters. however, that ac-
ceptance by the allied governments
of the principle regarding mandates
recently enunciated by Secretary
Hughes might be made the condition
of unreserved participation by the
United States in the deliberations
a broad which it is ked to Join.
This intimation carried with il
however. the inference that the United
States might express it's WILLINGNESS
to assume a part in the settlement of
the reparations problem. The adjust
ment of the economic situation is re-
garded as one in which the United
States has so great an interest that
this government would be justified
in accepting the invitation to partici-
pate in it's consideration.
