Still Ownership Illegal

You can probably remember when
the eighteenth amendment became eff
fective, and how some individuals or
dered stills made at tin shops, not to
serve as ornaments, but as utensils
in the manufacture of ''hootch.' But
listen to this occurrence.
For the first time in prohibition
work in St. Paul man was fined in
Federal court Monday of last week for
possession of machinery designed to
manufacture moonshine.
The successful prosecution of this
charge, it is believed by Federal men,
plugs an important loophole in liquor
defense, and with such a precedent to
work on, "the efficacy of prohibition
in general is believed to be decreased
John Berzac, 1872 Oliver Court, the
defendant, did not have moonshine in
his possession when agents raided his
plant. He had a still, but the still
was not in operation at the time. Some
raisin mash was found. No sale was
in evidence.
Heretofore, agents, while convinced
of Berzac's guilt, would have hesitat-

The lawyers, it is stated, asked for
5000 900 at the conclusion of the trial,
and, though the Leopold family made
no objection, the Loeb family thought
the amount excessive, after some dis
cussion the $4,000 was agreed on.
Mr.. barrow, in Denver visiting his
son, said Saturday an agreement had
been reached which he would submit
to the Chicago Bar association in ac-
cordance with the original plan that
the association would fix the amount.

received upwards of $25 900 for their

County Editor Chosen
For Publicity Director

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has a new publicity director,

week by j. F. Reed, president of the
federation.
E. M. Lawless, for several years an
editor of county newspapers in the
state, has been appointed to succeed
Mr.. c. M. Arthur as director of the
publicity department and editor Of
the Farm Bureau News. During his
connection with the Farm Bureau, Mr.
Arthur has given efficient and con-
scientious service and won the respect
of those in charge of Farm Bureau
affairs in the state and those con-
nected with the various cooperative
organizations, allied with the Farm
Bureau. He has their best wishes
for success in his new line of work, y
says Mr. Reed.
The new publicity director was
born and raised on a Minnesota farm,
in LIE Sueur county. For several
years he was editor and publisher
of the Waterville Sentinel, later
serving as editor of the Olivia Times
and the Shakopee Tribune before COM
ing to St. Paul to become editor of
the Rural Weekly, paper of national
circulation published by the St. Paul
Daily News. Mr.. Lawless has long

Mr.. BabsOn
on Minneapolis

Roger w. Babson has just been
here to give Minneapolis close
range inspection with reference to its
business situation and what appears
to lie ahead. What he finds should
give cheer not only in the city, but
in the large trade territory it serves.
We quote three sentences:
"Statistically, Minneapolis shows
one of the most spectacular come
backs of any city in the country"
"At the present time it would be
hard to name city which is giving
clearer indications of business i'm
provement."
Minneapolis has better prospects
today than have appeared for a long
time"
Few men have better opportunities
than Mr.. Babson to learn compare
lively about conditions in various
parts of the country. He travels ex-
tensively and with the express pur.
pose of seeking information such as
that of which he was in quest here
He has specialized in that department
of discovery, and he has an extensive
international background that gives
him exceptional insight into current
conditions.
Mr.. Babson is aware, of course, that
Minneapolis is largely a product Of
economic forces exerting themselves
in the Northwest. 1t was to be ex-
pected, therefore, that he would cast
his minds eye out over the state anC
the adjoining states to see what was
going on there. He did exactly that
and he found situation radically diff
ferent from that of year ago or two
years ago. Good crops and COCO
prices had worked a remarkable
transformation for the better. The
change is not merely financial; it is
also psychological. Greater purchas
ing power and renewed courage anG
confidence are having their beneficent
effect. Under the new tonic the in.
dustrial and commercial heart of the
Northwest, comprised in the Twir
Cities, beats firmly and we'll. Mr.

Only a Collie

Portland Journal: Hard boiled Pa
volver on an avenue in the Bronx,
New York, about to dispatch beau
tiful brown and white collie that had
become bewildered in traffic and end
ed up in gutter with paw crush
ed by passing automobile.
"Shep' seemed to sense what Dali
zell's drawn revolver meant. With a
supreme effort he pulled himself to-
gether, sat up on his hind legs, look
ed pleadingly up into the patrolman's
face, and extended his hurt paw.
"You look like the sort of chap who
could fix me up if you wanted to-"
"Shep" seemed to say. Then he wait
ed, all confidence.
"Why don't you put the thing out
of it's miesry?" demanded bystanders.
"Aw, say" replied the hard-boiled
Dalzell, holstering his revolver and
lifting the collie in his arms.
Over to a corner drug store Dali
zell carried his friend, where "Shep's"
leg was dressed and whence patrol
wagon took him to the police station
in a hope that his owner would ap-
pear.
The grim face of grizzled police
man may seem adamant. There is
seemingly enough in his experience
with the backwash of human society
to make him insensible to the feeling
of pity.
But there is always a soft spot
under every blue coat And when the
appealing eyes and trustful look of
"Shep" rested on him, even the Bronx
patrolman didn't seem to care about
his reputation of being hard-boiled,
and he became as chicken-hearted as
a woman.
And whole lot of humanity is the

IN SHIP INDUSTRY
Mercantile Marine Head Ex

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December lore
turning today from Europe, p. A. S.
Franklin, president of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Corporation,
expressed optimism for the shipping
industry during the coming year. The
freight and passenger situation
should be better for 1926 than in
1925, he said. Europe gradually is re-
covering and transatlantic business
should show a large improvement
during the next IL months.
Fuel costs should be somewhat
lower in 1926 than in 1925, Mr.. Frank
lin stated, which would help to in
crease the earnings of the carriers.
Although many Of the International
Mercantile Marine Co.'S ships had
been converted into oil burners, they
were so arranged, he said. that they
could quickly be changed back to coal
If the cost of oil becomes too high.
Mr.. Franklin intimated that his own
company's earnings would not be so
large this year as in 1924, due to I'M
settled conditions in the freight mar
ket and strikes in the British En-
pire, particularly in Australia He
said passenger traffic, in first and
second class, for 1925 would be about
80 per cent of the pre-war volume, and
that this should show d gradual i'm
provement through 1926.
