The Sheriff's Own Sponge
Squad Finds Still, Mash
and Much Moon.
DRURY RAIDS FARM
kenOsha Attorney Leads Wal
Up Burlington Road and
Helps Find MOonshine.

1t isn't often that person is above
to go out with the police sponge squa,
or with the "Sheriff's own" but yes
terday afternoon when Attorney A. /
Drury insisted that he wanted to raj.
his own farm, Sheriff Rauen couldn'
do anything but let him. Accordingl,
it was a powerful alliance of Sherif
Rauen, Deputies Jacob Keul, Nichola
Otto and Steve Robinson and A.
Drury, farm owner and attorney, tha
just before four o'clock Thursday at
ternoon took to the snowy highway
the Burlington road and speeded wes'
looking in the midst of the fine winte
sunshine for the moon.
All the Delights of a Farm.
The farm is one of noble acres tina
stretches along the Burlington road j
the town of SOmers, and while it ha
been destined by its owner for til
raising of crops and the feeding
kline and for sheep-lit pastures and a
things of a gentle rural nature as BE-
fits the soil and surroundings, occs
sionally the owner has a tenant VIII
uses the place for less legitimate pur
poses. Once before, Drury evicted
tenant because he made moonshine
the place and on November 1st tn
lawyer rented the farm to Jonas Ru
zenskis, fully believing that the latte
would never enter history even witt
the mild attachment of a whale.
Thursday afternoon Sheriff Rauei
communicated with Attorney Drury
and informed him that he had received
a complaint about Jonas and that while
it might not be connected with whale,
it would make a whale of yarn. In
short, the sheriff told the owner that
Jonas was believed to be secretly
stewing and brewing moon on the
place.
Drury Leads a Raid
The owner insisted shat he would
love nothing better than raid on the
place and asked that he be permitted
to go along, as he wished to see for
himself what was being done on the
premises and see that every nook and
Granny were thoroughly searched. Ac-
cordingly he was made an honorary
member of the squad.
Arriving at the farm, it was found
that there was ample basis for the
complaint. A still made from a copper
washboiler was found as we'll as bar
rel and half of mash, which was de-
stroyed and four gallons of moonshine
which was captured and brought in
with the still.
Jonas was brought into the munich
pal court this morning, pleaded guilty
to the manufacture of moonshine. and
was fined 500 and costs Meanwhile the
owner of the farm lost no time in get
ting out eviction papers.

Secretary Shearer Says 1922
Holds Better Times for
Local Industries.
REVIEWS PAST YEAR
In News Years Message, Sec
rotary Holds Out Hope for
Revival of Industry.

1922 is dawning FOR Kenosha with
a revival of industry all ready started y
declared Secretary Conrad Shearer of
the Kenosha Manufacturer Association
in making resume of the employment
situation in Kenosha during the past
year and of the prospects for the COM
ing year. In his report he declared
that 1921 had held the longest period
Of industrial depression that Kenosha
had ever known but added that CO.
operation by employers an demployees
had pulled Kenosha through the crisis
and that the New Year was dawning
with better times looming in sight.
The report is contained in the De-
cember bulletin of the association
which is now in the mails Secretary
Shearer in wishing the members of the
association Happy. New Year out
lines the industrial situation here as
follows:
Comments on Past Year.
GAS 1921 draws to a close all
thoughts turn to the New Year. For
the past fifteen months business has
been poor and industry in the main
slow of operation. 1t has been the long
est period Of depression known to our
local industry.
Compare conditions of 1918, 1919
and the greater portion of 1920 with
that fthe past year. During those
years manufacturers could scarcely Sc
cure the help necessary to operate the
shops, and the operatives complained
of the burdens of their labors. Even
the high rate of wages paid did not
draw all idle to industry.
"Of 1921 it can truly be said that
many willing hands could not secure
employment. How many fthe large
force of unemployed have managed to
live and keep their homes intact
through So long period of depression
is almost beyond understanding.
Cooperation Saved the Day.
"Only through the splendid spirit of
helpfulness and cooperation on the
part focal factory executives has
such been possible. Practically every
industry has maintained on it's payroll
a larger force of employees than bust
ness conditions warranted. In addition,
the personal interest of many factories
manifested TO rtheir former employees
has aided very materially in preserv-
ing the home and family life. Wish
ing people Happy New Year is taken
frequently as mere custom-a few
pleasant words devoid of meaning. To
those of US who have been brought in
contact with the dark side of life many
times during the year, it is different.
Out heartfelt wish at this season is
that the New Year will usher in pros
perity TO rail-. May there be work for
all who would labor, and may renewed
business prosperity come to the manu-
facturer Such is our wish for the
operatives and employers Of local in
dustry."
