SCHOOL SAVINGS SUCCESSFUL
IN SMALL COMMUNITY

That the school savings system
works as well in small communities
as in the cities is demonstrated by
the schools of Gilbert, Minnesota.

first savings were deposited, 1850
out of the 2.O66 pupils enrolled
opened bank accounts, according to
School Life, a publication of the
Bureau of Education.

the schools is in charge of w. A.
Pike, head of the commercial de-
partment. Within two months more

COURT HOUSE YARD
REEKS WITH MOON

Monday afternoon was cleanup
day in Sheriff Loomis's office at the
court house and armed with the
proper orders issued by Judge P.
w Metz he proceeded to destroy
his huge stock of moonshine, bot
ties. jugs. kegs. stills and other
equipment which has come into his
possession during the period he has
been county sheriff. The court house
yard was literally flooded with the
hish-powered moon which vas
poured out of the kegs, jugs and
bottles by the sheriff and his three
witness and assist in the destruc-
fion of the booze.
To any person who did not see
the array of wet goods and the
moonshining equipment it would be
almost unbelievable that such an
assortment of booze-making appar-
atus could be assembled. There
were bottles of all sizes and dimen-
sions filed with the amber fluid
which would surely have tempted
almost anyone to take a sip had
II not Deen TOT the SlSnt OF the
dirty and obnoxious looking appar-
atus in which it had been made.
Then there was white mule. as
harmless looking as water. yet
which when ignited would burn as
readily as pure alcohol. Some of
h booze had taken on a milky
complication while some looked as
black as iron. The stills were for
tho most part of copper. although
in n instance, at least. an ordin-
airy milk can had been used for
the purpose of distillation. The
coils were of varied sizes. shapes
and lengths, one of them being
made of tubes being soldered at
right angles.
All of the stills and equipment
were completely destroyed, while
some of the bottles, jugs and kegs
were to be sold to local dealers.
The moon taken from the cache
on Cottonwood and said to be the
Carey cache, is still held in the
sherif's office pending the appeal
OF the Carey case. This booze was
tested by the sheriff before several
witnesses on Monday and shows a
high proof.

week for the purchase of five thou
sand choice yearling ewes for the
Two-Dot ranch, the sheep to be de-
livered the first of June. The two
