SLEUTHS PROBE WORKINGS
OF A PR0HI MIRACLE

New Orleans,-Government agents
here are trying to determine how
2.400 quarts of whiskey of a we'll
known brand was changed into wa
ter while being transported from
Il bonded warehouse to steamer
for shipment to Central American
countries
Customs officials say that the con-
signmcnt of whiskey, shipped here
from Canada and stordc in a bonded
warehouse TO await export, was load
cd on truck, and that a leakage
in one bottle led to a closer scrutiny,
which revealed the fact that the
entire shipment was nothing but
bottled water.
Previous complaints from Latin
American countries that other ship
ments also have turned to water
has led local customs and prohibi-

trail of huge conspiracy, larger

Common Errors in English and

hurried headline writer word easily
substituted for "tO become enthusiasts
tic over'O is not good English. In

all writer's on good English agree in

This word, like many others Of re-
cent growth, may become in time part
of the English language, and be recog-
nized as good English. But it has no
historical or chronological authority,
and should be avoided by anyone who
wishes to speak and write correctly.
II is the duty of all who have inner
tied the English language to try, at
least, to preserve its purity.
One should not say. "She does not
enthuSe me-" or "She does not en-

not arouse any enthusiasm in me-" and
"She is not enthusiastic"

MOLLYMAUkS.

II Think" said daddy, "that I have
told you story of molymauks once

Yes" said Nancy, land you said
that they were large birds known also
as albatrosses.
"You said albatrosses were their
real names, didn't you?"
YES" said daddy, that's right.
They're birds. and mollymauNs is the
family name given to all the smaller
families of albatrosses. In fact, it is
the name given to all albatrosses
which are not so large as the great
wandering albatross known as the
'goney.'

settlement between the country ele-
yator and the farmer as to quantity
grade and quality, there must be
some ready method of appeal in
case of disagreement. This might
be arranged by farmers and country
elevator operators agreeing to abide
by a determination of samples made
by some nearby authority, such as
the grade supervisor of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Experience
with millions of transactions under
the Grain Corporation during the
war showed that such disagree
ments are extremely rare and dc
not entail many appeals.
If the above plan can be made
practicable the farmer will have a
prime collateral which will open tc
him a much wider circle of credit
than that of his own local bank,
Through the sale of his certificate
he would be able to place his grain
on the market at any time he wish
ed, under no compulsion by seasonal
or financial reasons to accept a
market price at variance with his
own opinion.
The conference is to determine to
what degree such plan will bene-
fit the position OF the farmer. how
far it will increase the mobility OF
his credit, how far it can be made
workable from the point of view of
elevator operators and insurance
companies and the methods and ma
chinery by which it can be set in
notion and generally to discuss its
practicability.

"Pianists Must Be Born"

Washington, June Methods
by which farmers can be given I'M
limited storage facilities for their
grain aud receive a warehouse Ger
tificate in such form and under
such conditions that it would pass
as an order for delivery of the
grain will be discussed here today
b. representatives of farm and grain
handling groups. The conference
was called by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace and Secretary OF Com
mcrce Hoover
The proposed method, 1T was
pointed out by the two secretaries,
would greatly increase the farmer
borrowing power and would relieve
him of the pressure of selling his
grain except at his own option. 1t
would enable him to haul his grain
at the time of the greatest farm
economy without being compelled to
sell at that time. 1t would extend
his credit area far beyond his local
bank, and it would place him in
the same position as to credit as
the grain dealer, it was pointed
out.
According to Secretaries Wallace
and Hoover, our system of local ele-
yators and warehouses of small ca
pacity, relying upon immediate dis
patch to the larger capacity terminal
elevators, makes it impossible for
the local elevator to give storage
of grain in any quantity. Owing
to this situation, if the farmer
wishes to retain his grain until
there are more favorable marketing
conditions he must hold it at the
farm; then he must borrow money
from his local bank, where the cred
il relation is personal one and
limited by the ability and considera-
ton of the local banker. In turn
the ability of the local banker to
extend credit is greatly limited by
it's ratio to the Federal Reserve
system.
The proposal Of Secretary Wallace
and Secretary Hoover is as follows:
(a) That the country elevator
should receive all grain offered for
storage and issue certificate as to
quantity, grade and quality. also
showing on its face the rate of
charge for warehousing, storage and
insurance against fire and other
risks
(b) That the country elevator
should have the right to ship grain
to the natural terminal elevator and,
upon. presentation of the certificate,
deliver grain of the same or higher
grade at the terminal, with proper
reflection of freight charges If
the grain had been moved into a
terminal elevator the charges for
freight and handling, together with
accumulated storage and insurance,
would be deducted from the sale
value.
&C. That the storage certificate
should be safeguarded by a method
of insurance by the liability COM
