Are Optimistic

st, Paul, Feb. 1O-Business is
beyond the worst because it can't
be any slower than it has been, pres
ident Ralph Budd of the Great
Northern Railroad said the other
day. He had just returned from a
four weeks trip throughout the
northwest. "Even If people buy only
bare necessities of food and cloth-
ing" he said, "business conditions
will improve. Stocks have never been
lower than now and merchants are
beginning to buy extensively. There
are prospects for the largest wheat
crop in history this year." he said
..There was more fall plowing in the
Northwest last fall than ever be-
fore" He found optimism every
where, he said.
Charles Donnelly, president of the
Northern Pacific. in an interview
also expressed optimism. "There has
been a slight upturn in car loadings
during the last month but, however
slight, it is an indicaor Of healthy
conditions" he said.

STEVE MOTIFS OF EFFINGTON Is

EN- IN; SRONG EVIDENCE is
FOUND NEAR PEEVER: FIND
LIQUOR IN FARM HOUSE.

Fred Westgate, state agent from
Pierre, and an assistant, have been
covering distance quite rapidly over
Roberts county's highways the past
few days. They are on the trail OF
prohibition violators, and have becn
rounding up the blind piggers-or
some of them, and bringing in the
evidence found.
The first violator to be brought
in was Steve Motifs, of Ellington
Motifs was out on bail, as the result.
and has a badly burned arm which
he acquired from an explosion OF
his still some time ago, but which
according to his story, was the re-
suit OF spilling a boiler ur hoi water
which he was lifting from the stove.
Previous to the explosion, his spe-
cialty was moonshine wniskey, Dus
since that, his attention has been
turned chiefly to home brew. a
quantity of the beverage, and also
his still were brought into Sisseton
with him. The still is crude, con-
sisting of ten gallon creamery can,
and a quantity of copper tubing
which was surrounded with ice to
condense the moisture. This is, OF
course, one of the most primitive
methods of distillation. The can was
placed on gasoline stove and the
steam from it's boiling contents run
through the tubing. This apparatus
had evidently not been used OF late
as it is not essential in the making
of home brew.
Strong evidence was found near
Peever, one farm house pe1ng found
to contain large quantity of moon
shine whiskey of excellent quality,
some tubing, gasoline stove, snug
ly tucked away in an upstairs closet
and a tin container from which
'mash'' had recently been emptied.

en- house to which anyone who had
the price, from $12 to SIS quart,
could come and partake freely.

say was that over in the Sucker
state where the girls have large
feet and large brains and the boys
cultivate the corn and consume Gig
aretes, the girls decided that the
boy who preferred cigaret for COM
pany shouldn't have theirs their
company we mean. So they drew up
an agreement to that effect, and
they all signed it, because they all
wanted to be on the popular side.
The boys laughed at it at first, and
they thought the damsels were put
ting aEsort of-dam-'sell on them
but the girls stuck like a wood tick
to a puppy's ear and then the boys
decided to retaliate. They drew up
their agreement as follows: (in SUBJ

part from their vow.

GIVEN MONDAY NIGHT

The closing dance Of the season
was given Monday night at the OPP

by a Jazz orchestra. And we have it
on responsible evidence that music
emanated from the top of the piano
and the rear of the hall and the
ceiling. Also, that when room on the
floor gave out, some danced on the
window seats and chairs. Everybody

OF President Wilson, leaders of both
sides we're informed today. The

presidents refusal to interfere as a
victory for them, in-as-much as the

that the Emergency situation had
arisen and that they were losing
half billion dollars annually be-
cause of the shop working agree
