LITTLE LIQUOR
TOl)B|E;R|ETURNED|
Recent Ruling Declares Con-
hscation Made Under
/. Volstead Act.

liq %as1 Mslf Rave to aa IS re.arnSed te
owners as a result OF a recent, ruling
of the United States circuit court in
South Carolina that the Volstead act
supersedes the internal evenue laws
insofar as they apply to intoxicating
liquors, Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer said last night. The asser-
ton was made in commenting upon
the action in New York yesterday of
federal officials in hating q raid on
the ground that the ruling made
seizures under the revenue laws H.
legal.
The great bulk of the liquor seized
by the government commissioner.
Kramer declared was taken under the
Volstead act while being transported
course be Unaffected by the new in
depreciation of the law. He added
that he did not know how much
liquor nay have been seized in vari~
u parts of the country under the
revenue law, but expressed the belief
that it was a considerable quantity.
Return of. some liquor would prob
ably be necessary where it had been
seized under the revenue laws, Mr..
Kramer asserted, adding that while
some of it had been destroyed, large
quantities are still awaiting de-
termination Of their status by the
courts. Mr.. Kramer said he did not
believe the South Dakota ruling
would greatly interfere with prohibi-
ton enforcement. AT present he said
very little real liquor is being taken
by federal agents in raids. Most of
the illegal liquors seized, he ex-
planned, were imitation connections
transported by ~bootleggers for a as
old established brands of liquor.

GREEKS FORCING
TURKS BACK; TAKE
IMPORTANT N

Athens. March 2s.-Afun-Kara-
hissar, an important railway junction
south of Eski-Shehr, has been taken
by Greek forces from the Turkish ma
tionalists say a Smyrna dispatch to
the newspaper Nea Elias. Many
prisoners and large quantities of war
materials have been captured, the
dispatch declares. and the Turks are
fleeing toward Kiutayah, about SO
miles northWard.
An official statement giving details
of Saturdays fighting says that the
army cas- of Smyrna occupied a line
running through the villages Of
'Chesne, Chahabal and Balmachmid
and pursued the Turks to within ap-
proximately four miles Of Alum
karahissar. where the attack halted
for the night. 1t is said the Greek
losses hav been insignificant.
The Greeks east of Brusa have ad-
vanced as far as the line drawn
drawn through the villages Of Bazaar
jik. Kiurtik. Guezil. Cretes, north of
Sughut. These towns are northwest
of Eski-Shehr, and the statement
seems to indicate that the Turks are
~entrenching themselves before this
important City.

Some interesting estimates of what
the farmers W h country banks
have been made in the reports re-
ceived. They are not comprehensive
and cannot be presented either as
fully covering The. situation or as
based upon close analysis. But they
come from country bankers, m in
dictate that while it is true that the
farmers generally owe the country
banks for money borrowed some time
ago and that the outstanding total in
that respect is larger than v be-
fore. the situation Is capable OF
righting itself in the of the
starting of country liquidation on
even a moderate scale.
loan Excuses Not Great.
Based on reports from country
bankers in "a number of localities and
relative to their own territory only,
these figures are arrived at
Where a farmer
normally would
at this eaS owe He
his country now
banker owes
Minnesota .......$1,0 900 $1,000
South Dakota .... 1000 1850
Montana ......... 1000 1900
North Dakota .... 1000 1:400
While figures for the states in their
entirety, if obtainable, might show
variance, the comparisons above in
dictate that there are a good many OF
the interior banking cetners where the
excess of loans to farmers this year
is not SO great but that liquidation OF
any consequence could soon restore
the. normal balance, although on the
other hand some such loans may have
to be carried to fall before their full
payment may be expected.

John Ellis of this city "a weather
observer, says that five more frosts
may be expected before permanently
warm weather begins. He claims that
it frosted on the ninth of March and
in consequence forty more frosts were
sure to follow that date before sum-
mer. Since then, Mr.. Ellis says, So
frosts have occurred. He says also
that tradition has it that the farmers
would be in the fields and out again
on account of the aforesaid frost on
March the 9th. He proves this by
saying that the ground showed four
inches of frost on March 31st although
it had thawed previously and field OPP
erations had been going on. This
March the 9th seems to be kind of
"Joner" date in Johns chronology.
He bases the above conclusions on
ancient tradition handed down from
days when people observed nature
more closely than they do since there
are so many frivolities and distrac-
tons.
