MIDDLE BUSTERS

Cy Adams says, "Some fellows
refuse to be whipped c'eanly but al.
ways Try to make the fight dirty.
These arc the guys that the world
can get along without"
No doubt but that whiting gives
plenty Of time for reflection, but so
does cutting brust.
The farm Is factory, which to
pay tue largest dividends, should be
kept running the year round.
The type OF farmer who is always
IN rush to lay by his crops is sell.
dom the kind that lays by a good
supply Of home cured products to
tide his family over the winter.
lts good idea to do the spring
buying now. At the tail.end of
the season one is apt to get the tall
end of the supply.
The beet farmers are those who
produce both live stock and crops,
ind balance the amount of live stock
kept with the amount OF feed pro-

TAKE HUGE STILL
AFTER GUN PLAY
Revenue Agents Say Mary

Complete Seized.

An S00-gallon still, two automobiles, a
thirty horsepower steam boiler, four
tons of soft coal, double condenser,
5000 gallons Of mash, 1000 pounds of
sugar and other incidentals used in the
manufacture of corn liquor were seized
after a shooting affray a mile west Of
agents yesterday afternoon.
Dowrisch arrived at the place while the
fire was still hot under the boiler. The
Two operators of the still opened fire,
but fled when the agents returned the
shots. The rest of the evening was
spent in destroying the huge still and
in confiscating the accoutrements, which
included, in addition to the above, 100
yards of canvas hose 800 pounds of
cornmeal and a double action hand
pump. Three small automobiles also
were seized.
Identity of the men who ran away,
the agents declared, is known and war
rants will be sworn out for them. John
Burch, who gave his address as 20S A
street southeast, was arrested last night
and taken to Baltimore. Revenue men
alleged he owned the STILL
The still is said to be the most elabo
rate for the manufacture of illicit bev-
erages ever located in this part of the
country. The wholesale price of the
liquor turned out, it was estimated, ap
proxirated $4,000 a day. All of the
equipment, including the boiler and the
still Itself, is valued at $4,000.

JUNIOR MECHANICS
HEAL 23-yEAR SPLIT
Differences Are ReconciIed
by J. L. Wilmeth, Former
Engraving Bureau Chief.

After twenty-three years of diff
ferenees marked by litigation in the
District courts. the six loyal state
councils of the District of Columbia
Junior Order of American Mechanics
and the twelve so-called insurgent
councils We're reconciliated at CON
ference of the national officers and
the representatives of the split fac
tion last night in the Northeast Ma
sonic Temple
The amalgamation gives the Junior
0rder a membership strength in the
District of more than 1000 and the
action of the District councils is ex-
pected to soon lead to the amalgama-
ton OF the state councils and the in
snrgent councils in Maryland. New
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania
who left the regulars with the twelve
1nsurgent councils in the District
tWenty-three years ago.
Since the split the insurgent coun
ellis in the District and the four states
have been operating under the juris-
diction of an association correspond
ing to the national council of the
Junior Order of American Mechanics.
The separation of the councils into
the loyal and insurgent groups grew
out of differences over the rate of
per capita tax established by the ma
tional council. All efforts to bring
the two factions together in the
twenty-three years have been futile.
The reconciliation meeting la sted for
more than four hours and was marked
by spirit of friendlinesS The
national officers who assisted in the
amalgamation of the two groups in
cluded James l.. WflrTeth former di-
rector of the bureau of engraving

tary; Joseph D. Tunnison of New
