LIQUOR IS HELD
CONTRABAND BY
JUDGE COCHRAN
Federal Judge Rules That whisky,
Ownership Of which Has Been In
Dispute For Two Years, Shall BE
Sold by the Government.

The fate OF 993 cases OF Old Tucker
whisky, the ownership of which has
been in dispute for two and a half
years has at last been decided.
Federal Judge A. NJ. ]. Cochran, who
heard arguments in the case at Mays
Vile several weeks ago, handed down
a decision the past week, holding that
tho liquor is contraband and shall be
sold by the government, as provided
by law in the case of seized liquor.
or all Kentucky's famous whisky this
lot is probably the most famous.
Originally 1t was lot OF 1000 cases,
each containing twenty-four pints OF
"Old Tucker" Seven cases became
lost In a trip to Michigan. The re-
mainder is now in the warehouse OF
the Louisville Public Warehouse Com
pany at Louisville.
The government seized the liquor
early In 1921 and labeled 1t as contra
band goods Bert Moss, Of Detroit
filed an intervening petition claiming
ownership OF the whisky. When the
case was called at Maysville recently
the prohibition department filed de-
murrer to Moss intervening petition
This demurrer was sustained by Judge
Cochran, which means that MOSS
claim to the whisky was disallowed
and that the government will dispose
OF It in due course OF time.
Judge b. ]. Bethurum, assistant
prohibition director. and assistant Dis
trict Attorney II. S. Mcclure repre-
scented the prohibition department and
the government in the case. Attorney
Charles Fennell represented the In
tervenor.
'"The liquor in question here has had
a most devious career" says Judge
Cochran in his official pronouncement
on the case.
1T was run out OF Michigan. Upon
Its return to Kentucky II was In some
sense seized by the Federal prohibi-
ton Director and placed in the ware
house OF the Louisville Public Ware
house Company at Louisville. After
having laid there for about six months
and a rclease OF the hold Of Prohibi-
tion Director of Kentucky thereon
having been secured in some manner
not disclosed, an Illegal sale thereof
was made by the intervenor to drus
company. a fake concern, as conceded
in the argument, though not appearing
from the pleadIngs, and a fraudulent
shipment thereof was made to conceal
the illegallty in the transaction.
"And, furthermore, 1t was not until
the lapse OF nine months from the time
OF the seizure that the interyenor came
forward and set up claim to the liquor
II follows that the demurrer to the In
tervening petition is sustained"

afternoon they had got in ten feet
and there We're above a hundred to
pass. Moreover. the roof was none
too solid-shoring it meant still slow
er progress. The major, watching
with straining eyes the snaillike prog
ress, prayed silently-ne was past

upon his ears a wild hubpuo of yells.
of cheers-the madoest ever heard.
He turned to face Bernard. who
leaped from the descending cage cry
ing: Major. majori Come up.
They're all safe-an out-every man.
-everybody-wants to see you
"Why-it was notning-less than
nothing, indeed" Citrate Lee ex-
planned. somewhat haltfng;y and red
dening at what everybody was saying.
you see, I had a notion the cave in
North Hollow ran almost TO the mine
Il had meant a long time to find out
so it came to me-thfs was a good
time for it,
But he was dripping from a plunge
| in a subterranean pool, his clothes
in rags, his hands bleeding from
clinging to jagged rocks.
Also, the men who had followed
him the perilous way to safety had
much to say.
Hearing it Bernard said dejectediy
to Anne: "Of course it is all up with
me now" To which she retorted:
"Goosey, you're ridiculous. You need
a caretaker. Sandy Lee does not
and never, never will-Besides, he has
a girl back home"

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young
girl seventeen years old. 1 am con-
sidered very good-looking, and I have
a fairly good shape, only my legs are
simply awful. I chum around with
two girls who aren't pretty, but have
such plump legs. 1t makes me heart
sick and I sit down and cry often,
which I know is very foolish
Could you tell me any way in
which I could pad them SO as to
make them look big and plump?
would like to do it SO that 1 can
wear silk stockings and one couldn't
tell the difference. I have studied and
I cannot figure out any way whatever.
You know little slender legs are just
awful. I need your advice. H. L.
There is one thing which is more
to be dreaded than thin legs and that
is big fat legs. You ought to be
thankful that you are pretty instead
of making yourself miserable over q
thing which is very natural to a girl
of your age, and which undoubtedly
will change for the better when you
are little older.
Exercise, in and out of DOORS will
be good for you. Walking and swim
ming are both excellent for develop
ing the legs. Probably you will con-
slider it late in the season to recon-
mend swimming, but you can remem-
Der it for another year.
would suggest that you take GYM
nasium work or buy a book on physi-
cal culture. In this way you can
learn many exercises which will help
develop your legs.

In an address before the Chicago
City club recently. Senator Borah ad-
vised a civic uprising at the ballot box
against the present fiscal policies of
state, municipal and federal authori-
ties. He cited figures to show that in
the last five years taxation has in
creased from 100 to 400 per cent and
he held both parties responsible for
waste and extravaganza. He urged
taxpayers to withhold their support
from any candidate. no matter how
attractive he may be otherwise. who
is not ready to pledge himself SOL
EMMY to work and fight for genuine
relief from back-breaking taxation.
But when was there ever a candidate
of any party who was not ready to
pledge himself solemnly TO work and
fight for genuine relief from back
breaking taxation?"

Daily Talk
RESPECTABLITY.

There is no more VICTORIOUS place
behind which to hide than the silk hat
OF the world.
And yet it is rare not to run across
somebody each day who takes pride
in boasting of his responsibility.
If It came to a showdown, I would
much prefer to be honest and happy
than to be merely respectable.
For responsibility mas come to
mean, in many cases, a cloak that
hides the finest impulses of the hu-
man being. y
What could be more respectable
than to be honest, sincere. expressive
even in the face or much adverse
criticism?
In my humble opinion, people
spend too much time on their respec-
liability. and too little on improving
their mate worth.
Responsibility isn't anything to
worry about. It's a natural sequence
to wholesome living and thinking.
Clothes do not necessarily make you
respectable. Nor does fame nor great
distinction. For responsibility is a
soul quality that cannot be tempered
with if it would remain clean and vir-
gin.
Thank God, the oId-time sort of re-
spectability is dying out-that sort
which excused viciousness because it
had a lot of money or was the
leading figure in the town."
You are respectable If you do not
cheat yourself. If you do not clip your
ideals and make of your character a
pieced-up affair.
My idea of respectable man is he
who considers most the feelings of
others, who does not chain his per-
sonality to some decayeG custom and
who is not afraid to assert his honest
beliefs, who respects tine opinion of
all and honors every sincere effort
put forth TO make this world better.
1 can think OF no higher type of re-
spectacle human being than the one
who is most unself.sh.

1t has been stated repeatedly that
Great Britain was a material gamer
from the war, despite her enormous
expenses in that conflict. In con-
firmation of this statement a large
advertisement recently appearing in

His Majesty's government" an
nounced the sale at auction of plan
tations in the Cameroons. West At

the banana, tobacco, sugar and rub
Der lands told of the buildings and
equipment of the "ex-enemy" prop

saw mills, and the trading, factory
and commercial possibilities. The
properties were offered under free
hold and leasehold tenure.

more and more American employ
ers are seeing the wisdom of the saw
ing wage" declares Secretary of La
Dor Davis. True; but VINO shall say
what is a Saving wager" Some
workers. receiving $1,000 a year, save
money Others receiving three times
as much do not save a cent. Saving
money depends upon the disposition
of the individual. Some workers put
their savings into a home. others put
them into an automobile, while others
never have any savings for any pur-
pose, even tho all receive the same
pay. These are facts that the en-
ployer cannot alter. however willing
to do so he may be. 1t is the right
OF every man to do with his earnings
whatever he chooses. Increasing
those earnings is unlikely to alter his
established course of conduct. There
are great many persons like clerk
in a grocery store whom we once
knew He said that when he received
5000 a year he spent $500 and when
he got $1,000 year it cost him $1,000
to live.

SCHOOL SAVINGS.

= School children deposited five and
one-haIf million dollars during the
last school year in their school saw
lings banking systems, according to
the third annual compilation made by
the savings bank division of the
American Bankers association. This
is an increase of 40 per cent over the
preceding year and of 100 per cent
over the year 1919-192O. The asso-
cations tabulation gives the full rec
ord for 394 systems which indicates an
increase of over 100 per cent in the
number of operating systems over the
previous year. The association has is
sued the following statement on school
savings:
1.-THE primary purpose of school
savings banking systems is to combine
the practice of thrift with actual ex-
perience in systematic saving in the
purpose of interest and in the eco
nonic functions of saving banks. It
follows that the successful systems
are the ones in which all the pupils
participate by obtaining a personal
relationship as a bank depositor just
like daddy A wider appreciation
of these facts has led to a constant
increase in the number of pupils par
ticipating in the savings systems"
Whereas sixty-seven cities report
that rs per cent or more of the total
enrolment in the schools having saw
ings systems are participating therein,
low average in other cities must be
noted as there are 100000 pupils in
the schools which have systems who
have not become participants.
The average gross deposit for the
year decreased from $15.17 to $4.35
and the net saving per depositor de-
creased from 1901 to $2.48. The
bank balances at the end of. the school
year have almost doubled during the
last three years.
''The interest earned by the pupils
accounts during 1921-1922 amounted
to 1921, 1890. an increase of SO per
cent over the preceding year. The
numba~ of schools in which the sys-
tenn was operating was 1852 as COM
pared with 1916 during the preceding
year"

JUST FOLKS
THE FRIENDLY WAY,
BY EDGAR A. GUEST

Let me walk the friendly way
And hear what kindly people say;
Let me not miss the gentler things
The song the morning robin sings,
NY neignbor's smile. the maple tree
Which casts its shelter over me,
While 1 go seeking lustrous fame
And gaudy pleasures hard to claim.
Let me rejoice unto the end
In him who cares to be my friend;
Let me not draw distinctions line
Between those trusted hearts of mine,
And mark my caste or creed or clan
The honest worth of any man.
To those who love me l would cling
Despite the favor Of the king.
The friendly way finds good in all,
The rich, the poor. the great, the small,
The toiler is as fine and true,
As good to know and cherish, too
As is the man who walks in pride
With fame and glory at his side.
1 would not spurn his friendly hand
With rulers Of the world to stand
Lord, teach me this: from day to day
To reap the Joys along my way;
Let me not blindly fail to see
The beauty of each flower and tree
Let me not lose the present hour
With all its charm. to fawn on power.
But firm and faithful let me be
To all who would be friends with me-

The ship subsidy bill and a meas
ure designed to prevent future strikes
on the railroads it is said, are destined
to be the browning achievements of
the first congress under the admin
istration of President Harding. Those
will be the two principal items of leg
islation TO receive the attention OF the
extra session that is expected to con-
vene about November Is. Probably
the proposed subsidy legislation is de-
signed to be merely a cloak to cover
the real object of the extra session,
namely. anti-strike legislation. Ger
tainly there is nothing to indicate
that the subsidy bill has any better
chance of passage now than at any
previous time. The more the people
hear about it, the less they want it.
