SWEDES IN AALAND
ISLANDS STARTING
FOR UNITED STATES

Stockholm, May 29.-The exodus
of Swedes from the Aaland islands
TO the United States has begun
Several groups of about so persons
each already are on their way to
America.
Sweden appears to be alarmed
over this new tide of emigration
although it is not large in volume,
but no student of the Aaland situa-
ton is surprised. The islands,
which lie in the mouth of the Gulf
of Bothnia between Sweden and
Finland were claimed by both coun-
tries after the separation of Fin
land and Russia. About a year ago
the council of the League of Ma
lions awarded the islands to Fin
land
Sweden accepted the decision, but
the Aalanders have never made any
secret of their disappointment, the
overwhelming majority of them be-
ing of Swedish blood. The popula-
ton of the islands is only about
%, 200 and Sweden is anxious to
have this stock emain Swedish ev-
en- under Finnish rule
The Stockholm press says that
the Aalanders are among the best
that the Swedish race has to offer,
being physically strong. hard work
ing and intelligent and from the
point of view, "desir-
ables."

CONvICTS PUT
UPONHONOR AT
CAMP CUSTER
Inmates of Michigan Penitentiary
Employed in Building Addition
To Legion Hospital.

Battle Creek. Mich. May 29.-(By
the Associated Press -Unguarded,
and with but one restriction, IS
honor men" from the Michigan
state penitantiary at jackson are
being given their big chance at
Camp Custer, near here.
The men are engaged in building
an addition to the American legion
hospital at Custer. They are TO be
engaged there for the remainder
of the summer as workmen, not as
convicts, and if when the work has
been finished they have justified the
confidence placed in them, they
will be parOled and walk for all
time from under the shadow of the
prison, despite the fact many of
them still have several years to
serve, according to their commit
ment papers.
The plan is an experiment in
prison honor that is described by
penalogists as one of the most re-
markable on record. Soon the AS
are to be joined by 40 others from
the cell blocks at Jackson.
Come Unattended.
These men have been permitted
to come here unattended and to
work their way to freedom by DO
ing good days work every week
day for the remainder of the sum
mer and by remaining on the camp
reservation. To date but one viO-
lation has been recorded after near
ly a month of the experiment One
prisoner violated the parole and
has disappeared. The remaining
men have formed an organization,
with its distinct court system, and
have sworn to each other that they
will not break the faith.
Some Of the men at Custer de-
clared on their arrival that this
was the first time in years thar
they had slept outside of the cell
blocks. A large percentage of them
are being given an opportunity to
shorten their sentences by years.
Each of the workers receives
daily wage, the money being sent
TO the prison officials. Men max
ing good will receive this money
when they have fulfilled their part
of the honor contract.
The experiment is being tried az
the suggestion of Harry L. Hubert
warden of Jackson prison.

DAILY ROUTINE
DEMANDS HERO
TRULY AS WAR
Rev, G. A. Steets in Memorial Sun
day Sermon Pays Tribute TO
Commonplace Patriot.

DR.. G. A Sheets, pastor of the
First Baptist church, delivering the
Memorial Sunday address yester-
day morning in the church, paid
tribute to the greater heroism of
the men who turned from fields OF
battle to the "heroism of the COM
monplace" in their daily lives.
The church auditorium was filled
and all the patriotic bodies of the
city occupied places of honor about
the John Buford post, G. A. R..
members. The church was decora-
ted with flags and special attention
was directed to the church's own
service flag which once more was
displayed Special music appro-
pirate to the event was furnished
by the church choir under the di-
rection of Mrs. Swan NyGuist.
There is extraordinary heroism
manifested in the physical and
moral courage of the soldier in
time of war. No one can fail to
recognize and to honor that hero
ism without dishonoring himself,
said Rev. Mr.. Nyquist. BY means
Of that heroism human rights and
privileges were defended, institu-
tions, sought and bought, without
which the world would be impov-
erished: without which life would
be a miserable existence and hard
ly worth living.
But the display of heroism is
not limited to CORY fields of bat
tie, whether at Bunker Hill OF Bull
Run: at San Juan hill or the
Marine There are calls and oppor-
tunities for heroism in all walks
OF life and in all the legitimate
pursuits of men, whether in time
of war or in time of peace. Some
worthwhile battles Of the real pat
riot must be fought in legislative
halls; some must be fought at the
polls: others in offices and behind
counters and in the factory: stili
others in the home, in the church
and in the school.
THE heroism Of the common
place is important because the
world is largely indebted to the
commonplace for its progress.
Commonplace service is harder to
render than any other. 1t is not
accompanied by stimulus of out
ward excitement. 1t is not sus-

Mrs. Zimmerman will be brought

layout taken at her place is claimed
by the federal and county officials
to be the largest of its kind ever
seized in this vicinity.
The potent effects of Mrs. Tim
merman's hooch could not be doubt
ed by anyone seeing the citation of
her numerous chickens which were
running about the yard. Corn from
the bottom CT the mash barrels, N

thrown out into the yard, where the

made a heavy meal.

FARM. HOME is
GWENOVER To
HOOCH MAKING
Five Of Eight Rooms on Thinner
man Property Devoted to
Disdllery Purposes.

When a federal and county posse
walked in on elderly Mrs. Mary
Zimmerman at her farm home ~
miles north of Moline on the Hills
dale road Saturday afternoon, her
three big copper stills were Dub
bling merrily away. White moon
shine was trickling out OF water
cooled copper coils into gallon glass
containers There was no show OF
defense of the heavily hooch-laden
property made, only the woman and
one OF her two sons being on the
grounds at the time.
Upstairs more than $50 gallons
of white mule. was stored in jugs
and nearly so more gallons was in
tubs in the front hallway down
stairs. The former respectable
farm home was a big distillery. OF
eight rooms in the house only
three were living rooms-the rest
devoted to various parts OF the
matchmaking process.
Even the kitchen, where the
MONDAY meal had just been pre-
pared and eaten at o'clock when
the forces of the law arrived, con-
tanned the proof test" to try 20
tency of the liquor, and so bottles
of several per cent beer which had
been brewed the day before, they
said.
Mrs. Zimmerman is a Belgian,
She speaks English very brokenly.
In the examination Prohibition
Agent Joe Prendergast conducted
when an inventory of the place had
been completed, she broke down
and wept.

was there when the raiders arrived
and Frank, 16, arrived shortly af-
terward. Mrs. Zimmerman also
spoke of a married son, Otto, in
East Moline.
She would not tell, in the sum
mary examination, who provided
her with the apparatus or to whom
she disposed of the liquor. Caught
off guard once she admitted selling
1t for So a gallon. Later she claim
ed she had not made any sales re-
Gently owing to the market being
flooded with wares of the kind she
had, so that it brought too low a
price for a profit.
Mr.. Prendergast estimated that
her three ten-gallon copper wash
boiler stills can produce and prob
ably have been producing 100 gal
Ions of liquor a day.

beer, stills and all their apparatus,
samples of the corn mash and sew

were loaded upon it. Mrs. Thinner

ORPHAN KIDS TO
GET SUGAR, BUT
FISH GET HOOCH

Children of Bethany home will
receive 400 pounds of sugar as
result OF the raid Of the farm OF
Mrs. Matte Zimmerman, South No
line, Saturday afternoon by Federal
Agent Joe Prendergast and Deputy
Sheriff Jess Hanna.
But the orphan kidd1es will have
nothing on the fish OF the Missis-
sippi and Rock rivers. The fish
won't get the sugar but they will
get a free jag when approximately
$50 gallons of moonshine reaches
their haunts via the sewers OF Rock
Island.
County Judge Frank ]. Landee
this morning directed Sheriff Mil
Ter, custodian of the confscated
materials, to deliver the sugar to
the home. and to destroy other ma
terials and implements for the max
ing of liquor. Hammer and ak will
be employed to make the still unfit
for further use, while the sheriff
will follow the time-honored GUS
tom of pouring the finished product
into the sewers.
