GANTT GIVES PRAISE TO PROH| OFFICERS;
 SMALL PROFITS MADE

"Alabama's prohibition enforcement forces are the best in this division, and we have least trouble and fewest com plaints from it." said D. J. Can't of Atlanta, federal prohibition enforce n.ent supe@isor of the gulf division. While on an inspection tour of the To- cal prohibition forces yesterday. I've find the forces are meeting with great success here and already there is d great decrease in the number of stills In operation and in cases of bootleg ging."
 l>r Can't expressed himself as being W ell pleased with the work being ac- complished Tn the district by N. l.. Pierce, who has charge of the state. and his men. Active as our forces may be there are two factors to be considered in bringing these results as we'll as our vigilance. The finan- cial depression is partially responsible, as the bootlegger Is not making as large a profit as he formerly did and the buyers do not spend as much for the liquor.
 Then there is the manufacturing and selling of spurious red liquor that has come to the front Practically all the red liquor that was withdrawn from bond is now disposed of and the hootleggers finding there was a de- mand for that class of liquor manu- factured counterfeit stamps and make a spurious liquor that is sold as genu- inc. People became aware of the de- ception and even that trade is falling off
