Fred C.. Upton Described Manufacture
of ''MOOnshine"

Fred C. Upton delivered the main
address at the Rotary luncheon Mon
day, speaking at considerable length
on the effects and purports of the
Volstead act. He said that as far as
the illicit traffic in liquor is concern
ed, Minot is in much better condition
than great many other cities where
liquor is openly dispensed over the
bar. The Volstead act does not in
tend that officers should go into Gel
lars of homes and disturb private
stock, but intends rather to put stop
to traffic in liquor. He presented
figures to show that the amount of
fines collected is more than paying
the expense of enforcing this law He
issued warning against the use Of
"n1oonshine". The stills are as a
rule filthy and much of the liquor in
the making is full of flies and other
insects. No one who could see it
made would think Of driking it, he
said.
Dr.. L. H. Beeler gave short talk
on Rotary education.

Ward County Farm Bureau Would
Helm Farmers Finance Crnn

A movement fostered by the Ward
County Farm Bureau is on foot to
help the farmers Of the northwest fl
nance the marketing of this crop
which is coming on in an orderly
manner.
In conversation with number of
bankers in the past several weeks,
there seems to be a general opinion
that there will be plenty of money
available from the war finance cor
poration to properly finance the ham
ding of the credits of the farmers
who wish to hold their grain for
future sale.
The grain must be delivered to the
local elevator and the storage ticket
presented to the bank. The bank
will be able to secure all the money
needed on storage certificates of this
kind.
We all realize that the banks have
been carrying an enormous load these
last bad years. We can not blame
them for trying to secure their money
this fall. But anyone can see the
effect it would have on the market
if they would force collections on the
loans which are out on crops in the
state Of North Dakota this fall, caus-
ing the farmers to sell their crops as
soon as harvested.
The spring wheat grown in North
Dakota sells at premium, being very
high in gluten, because it is required
to mix with softer winter wheats
grown in the southwestern states, in
order to make the high grade Patent
-four.
The Farm Bureau is taking the
matter up with number Of wheat
marketing organizations, with the OBJ
ject of marketing it in bulk orders.
