Charges Origin to Birk.
Harry FeureF, who has been named
as the mysterious Mr.. Lederer' of the
whisky ring and who has already
pleaded guilty to lot of indictments
took the stand just after feur o'clock
Tuesday afternoon as a witness for
the government in the case against
Birk. He declared that the whisky
ring which later disposed Of hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of whis-
ky in Kenosha and Milwaukee had its
origin on Memorial Day in 1920 and
that Arthur Rirk and Charles Erler,
two Kenosha saloon keepers, were the
originators Of it.
Feuer declared that at this time the
two Kenosha men wanted some whisky
to sell in their saloons here and that
they came to Chicago and approached
him in regard to the purchase Of Ii
quor, He told them that he would not
sell the liquor in less than a carload
lot and that they told him that they
might be able to handle it in such
quantities. It was declared that it
was after this purchase that the OPP
erations of the ring began and that
they grew in magnitude, Feurer
seemed to be ready witness for the
government and he told the whole
story of his dealings with the Keno
sha men.
Consolidate Birk Charges,
charge of conspiracy to violate the
Volstead act was consolidated with the
bribery charges against Birk on mo-
tion of the government. Attorney
Francis x. Swietlik, counsel for Birk
told the jury in his opening statement
that no attempt would be made by the
defense to deny the charge that Birk
had purchased whisky of Feuer.
"The testimony will show, and we
frankly admit" Mr.. Swietlik said
shat Birk did buy 100 cases of whisky
from Feuer. But we deny that Birk
was member of the conspiracy which
engineered the whisky transaction and
which corrupted certain federal Off
Gals. Birk was an ordinary saloon
keeper who was solicited to purchase
whisky, and who did So"

The Glory Of Sugar Cane.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

At this season of the year cane juice IS sold
at soda fountains in south Alabama towns,
particularly in the WiregraSS, and the drink
enjoys wide popularity.
The real fun however is in chewing cane.
The juice is purer and more wholesome be-
cause it comes only from the heart OF the
stalk, Feelings and eyes having been discard
ed before the eager mouth envelopes the
sweet meat The most delightful chewing
may be had from the large, luscious green
stalks because green cane is much softer and
easier on the teeth. But green cane, as grown
exclusively for chewing purposes IS not
hardy The farmer finds greater difficulty III
keeping his seed bed stocked, and so this va
riety is not so plentiful the red cane and
the ribbon cane.
In south Alabama only one man in 10000
does not like sugar cane, and he hesitates to
admit it. Today dried cane peehngs litter
every yard in south Alabama--and wherever
rosy-cheeked children will be found. And,
since we have drifted off into dietetics, it
ought to be said that the cane-CheWers fare
better from a health standpoint than many
people who eat syrup every day. While syrup
is a wholesome food when taken senslbly,
with a due regard for other articles of food,
it nevertheless is known to be true by every
praCtiCing physician that in those homes
where corn bread and syrup are frequently
eaten together instances OF malnutrltlon are
common and indigestion of the heartburn"
variety is even more common Butter and
bscuit-and-syrup is the right combination
if you are interested in our opinion. The
Lord has not vouchsafed to a man a happier
carnal secret than the key to the cOmbina-
ton.

1t is not that they do not love the horse less
than they loved him, but that they cherish
their own adornment even more.
The horse show, before the advent OF the
motor car, was, perhaps, the most celebrat-

the smartest appearance of both man and
beast, and a cotillioh could never be expected

Wrong Again.

The Atlanta Constitution has recently Civ
en- more proof of how little the average city
newspaper knows about the farm situation
Especially as it concerns the ravenous lttl'
cuss known as the boil weevil. The Atlanta
paper says:
News dispatches declare that the south
west Georgia counties, particularly Ter
ren. Sumter and Randolph, are rapidly
advancing to normal in cotton produc-
ton, Terrell having produced this year
by ginners' reports more than IO,OOO
bales, Sumter more than l5,OOO bales,
etc
There is lesson in these statements
that is as interesting and instructive as
the fact itself is generally gratifying.
In short, the restoration OF practically
normal cotton production III southwest
Georgia means that the farmers OF that
section have learned how to grow cot
ton under boil Weevil conditions.
That would be fine. if true. In fact it
would be the biggest and best piece OF news
in many a day The restoration OF practical
" normal production" has not occurred; and
it never will. With exceptionally favorable
seasons this year, together with industry and
the intelligent methods of cultivation for
which farmers here are noted, Terrell and
other counties in this immediate section have
succeeded in producing from so to 90 per
cent of normal cotton yield. Next year,
no matter what they do, they may not make
half as much The fact is the cotton crop
in Terrell county has never been a complete
failure The smallest yield any one year
since the boil weevil appeared six years ago
was 10000 bales
The production OF cotton in Georgia will
never be normal again, and the farmer who
pitches his crops with that idea has rude
shock ahead OF him. Newspapers that en-
courage that belief are doing great harm.

WHAT A HOME MARKET MEANS.

Americans are not only the greatest pro-
ducers, but they are also the greatest con-
sumers on earth. Our annual production OF
wealth is estimated at around $60000000,00 900
year, while our total consumption runs to
three-fourths or more of that amount. No
other nation ever did or ever could expend
100000, 100000 year in providing itself with
food, clothing, housing and Injuries. That
is why the American market is such a rich
prize, and the foreign producers are so anx-
ious to get into this market
