CRAB
!: WHISKEY STILLS


Local police officers are fast ac-
cumulating a variety of stills used
for the purpose Of making home brew,
and new invention along this line is
to be found every few days. An ex-
animation of the many kinds of home
made stills used would convince most
anyone that there is more than one
way in which to produce an outfit
which will make drinking whiskey.
During the past ten days several
more stills were seized, among them
being that found at the home of John
Miller on the west side in this city
by Police Commissioner Hooking and
Chief Timboe. This is said to be one
Of the best copper stills taken for
some time. In addition to the still
some home brew, and some mash
were seized. No arrests were made,
but the case was referred to the fed
eral authorities for further investi-
cation.
On Wednesday Of last week Deputy
Sheriff Tom Hanson and Federal Of
ficer Dan Dougherty drove to the M.
j. Christianson place north of Grand
,Harbor and there found still made
out Of a copper wash boiler and bar
rel Of mash and some brew.
The mash consisted Of some rye, some
wild oats and a number Of potato
bugs, evidently being the screening
taken from a tanning mill. Mr..
Christianson was placed under arrest,
and on being taken before Police Ma
gistrate D. G. Duell in this city,
waived examination and was bound
over to the district court, his bail ber
ing fixed at $1,000 which he furnish
ed. He said that he was making the
brew for his own use. He has been
renting the Luxon farm during the
past three years, is married and has
several children.
The same day the same officials
found a still in operation at the home
Of Denny Margaies at Churchs Ferry,
and placed Mr.. Margaies under ar
rest. This still consisted Of two cop
per tea kettles working together, and
was no doubt used for making booze
for the Greek element at Churchs
Ferry, who work on the section there
Mr.. Margarise also is employed or
the section. The prisoner was bounc
over to the district court by Police
Magistrate Duell of this city, and hi
bail was set at $1,000, which he wal
unable to furnish and he now Ian
guishes in the city Jail.

TG FREIGHT SHIP
MENTS ARRIVING

Stanley Fox, the popular proprie-
tor Of the Bell Transfer, in conversa-
ton with The World, told us that
never during his experience in the
transfer business was there as much
freight coming into Devils Lake for
the stores here as there is right now.
For a few weeks following the holi-
days he told us that there was not
much doing, and the merchants were
not shipping in anything except what
was absolutely necessary. During
the past few weeks, however, the
shipments having been coming in
thick and fast, and are ever on the
increase. Mr.. Fox is sure that this
is an indication that there will be
plenty of business for everyone in a
very short time.

took in custody John Smith, colored,
and about 40 years old, wanted at

WOOL RECEIVED
BY Federation

People in this state who have not
yet disposed Of their entire wool crop
Of last year will be interested to know
that while the 1921 wool pool Of the
North Dakota Federation Of Wool
Growers associations was sold out on
January % and the pool was schedul-
ed to close on February l, the fedora
ton has since decided to begin a new
pool, whcih will not close until March
l. This information has been received
by County Agent D. B. Morris from
Mr.. Guy, Of Fargo, state secretary
and manager.
Those who consigned their wool to
the 1921 state pool will receive about
rs per cent more for their clip than
the average secured through individ-
ual sales, it was said. The returns
are expected to be sent out to the
growers as soon as collected.
The new pool, which has opened fo1
this month for those who are still
holding their products, will be operat.
ed the same as the previous ones. The
wool will be graded if enough is re'
ceived to make grading advisable, anG

ESK IMO PIE
NEW DELICACY

Probably the most popular confes-
tion to be sold at drug stores and
other places where confectionery is
dispensed is Eskimo Pie," something
entirely new and which tickles the pa
late more than anything of its kind
put on the market for many years.
Many people have seen it advertised
during the past few weeks, and have
wondered what it was, but it is safe
to presume that it will be as common
as the old fashioned ice cream cones
before another month passes.
The first Eskimo Pie" to be sold
in this city was shipped in from
Grand Forks a short time ago, and
proved to be in demand more than
any other confection sold. Since then
the R. E. Cobb plant of this city made
arrangements to manufacture it, and
the chances are that it will be sold
everywhere. The first few pieces were
made at the Cobb plant last Monday
while the World editor was being
shown through the building by Man
ager Hefte, and we had the honor Of
eating the first pie of this kind made
here. We were also shown how it
was made, and could not help but ad-
NIT that it was the best in every way
that could be produced anywhere.
Each piece weighs about an ounce
and half, and 16 pieces are made
from one brick Of ice cream which is
cut up. The pieces are dipped into
warm chocolate and in that way coat
ed heavily. They remain in frozen
condition until they are delivered to
the ultimate consumer, and we doubt
if anything was ever made that tasted
better. After the warm weather
comes on they will even prove more
palatable than they do now.
Manager Hefte told us that he has
already received more orders than
he will be able to fill for another week
or more, and believes that just as sooA
as the many good qualities Of the pie
is generally known there will be no
limit to the demand for it. He has
just started making it, but it may be
necessary for him to employ large
force at doing nothing else than turn
out these frozen delicacies from now
on. The process is patented, and no
one is allowed to use it except those
who have secured the patent rights.
Mr.. Hefte was fortunate in securing
such rights Immediately after the pro-
cess was patented about two weeks
ago, which will give US Devils Lakers
the privilege of eating the pie for
some time before other communities
get taste of it.

was much larger than ever found be-
fore in any joint in the state. It is
expensive dope, and the amount
seized would run in value up to 5000
or more. We learn that it was being
sold to patrons Of the joint in $500
lots, enough for three smokes, and
this was placed between two playing
cards with the edges sealed all
around. Several such packages ready
for sale were found.
No opium odor was found in the
place which would indicate that no
smoking had been done there for
some time. One room was fixed up
like the regular old Chinese with two
cots hung up near q wall like shelv-
es, but this did not appear to have
been used much recently.
