BIG XMAS TRADE
IS VISIONED BY
RUM SMUCCLERS
BY FREDERICK KUN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

BERLIN. Dec. 16.-Despite the
tightness of the rum blockade along
the United States Atlantic coast,
German rum runners are hopeful
that they will make harvest from
their ''holiday trade with the
states.
In view of reports of recent rum
runner activity out of Hamburg.
Bremen and Danzig. American
agents of the prohibition enforce
mcnt forces have been rcdoubling
their vigilance, though hitherto they
have met with no success i'll catch
ing German rum runners with the
goods. Informed American circles
allcge that the United States Gus
toms inspectors quickly penetrated
necessary staff of detective assist
ants to ferret out the Volstead scof-
fers.
Experts declare that at least four
adroit sleuths must be at the dispos-
al of the American authorities in
Germany, if rum running from this
country is to be checkmated. At
present, however, this task is left
to the consular and treasury depart
mcnt officers abroad, whose time is
consumed with routine business.
Until the treasury department
details a squad of enforcement
agents to Germany,' it is asserted,
German rum runners will continue
to thumb their noses at American
legislation.
Christmas styles in rum running
are "back to. nature,'' as the trade
slogan goes. That is, the conven-
tional disguises are being abandon
ed and the smuggled liquor is being
transported without camouflage.
Previously, rum runners resorted to
the ruse of labelling their cases
pottery, 'Chinaware,' or
crockcry.'' But this trick was
found to be useless. Once the stuff
reached an American port, the Gus
toms inspectors quickly pentrated
its disguise. And so the Christmas
fashion has returned to running the
blockade with open liquor shipments
and landing, unseen, at some nook
along the New England coast.
lnfOrmers continue to "tip off"
the American consulates here re.
garding impending departures of
rum departures from German ports.
But these tips have often been cal
culatcd to direct the American au.
thorities away from the real scent.

diplomas from this department in the
last graduating class.
The millinery department has been
under the instruction of Miss Marga-
ret Kennedy since last September.
The girls are taught millinery from its,
elementary principles to the more
advanced stages Of display and sales
manship. In this department a girl
is taught to make the shapes for the
hats, to select materials and shades
that will work well together, to ap-
ply these to the shapes and also how
to select for and sell to the custom
er. instruction in selecting stock and
seasonable buying is also an import
ant part of the course. Before a
girl is released from the School she
is allowed to select hat which she
wears upon leaving. This is OF
practical value to the girl receiving
the hat and also to the girl in the
class from the standpoint of sales
manship and satisfying the customer.
A short time ago a style show was
presented, in which millinery made
by the girls was featured. Two class
, es per day are given instruction by
Miss Kennedy; one from 900 te

to 500 p. m. Twenty-eight girls are
receiving this instruction at the pres
emit time and nine received diplomat

Judge Roeser Refuses to

Verdict of $1,000 In Favor of Mrs

Wednesday of this week Judge
Roeser of the Stearns County District
Court, handed down an order deny
ing a motion for a re-trial of the case
of Mrs. lone Kinsella, wife OF
James Kinsella, Sank Centre, against
the jefferson Highway Transports
ton Company.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Kin
sella was injured about a year ago
while riding on Jefferson Highway
bus. When the action was tried in
the Stearns County District Court,
the Jury awarded Mrs. Kinsella ver-
dict of $1,000. 1t was from this
verdict that the Jefferson Highway
Company asked for a new trial and
the order handed down by Judge
Roeser yesterday refuses to change
the findings of the jury by denying
the motion. More than likely the
case will be appealed to the Supreme
court by the bus company before fin.
al settlement is made. Donohue &
Quigley of st. Cloud are the at
torneys for Mrs. Kinsella.

Draw Heavy Sentence for
Monkeying With Uucle Sam
Stearns County Brothers Must Serve
Time for Cumming UP the
Wheels of Justice

The young men from Stearns coun-
ty who endeavor to play a joke On
Sheriff Burns by sending the wrong
man to serve a Jail sentence have
found that the joke is on them.
At Fergus Falls Tuesday Judge
Cant sentenced Anton Lichy to serve
his regular 80 days in the Todd coun-
ty jail and Immediately afterward to
serve a sentence at Fort LeaYenworth,
Kansas, in the Federal penitentiary
of one year and two months.
George LicFy, who was party to
the hoax, was sentenced to serve
seven months in a Minnesota county
Jail and will be taken to the Jail in
Mower county.
Richard Lichy, the third brother in
volved, was able to prove that he
knew nothing about the matter and
was discharged.
It will be recalled that Judge Cant
sentenced Anton Lichy to. serve 80
days in the Todd county Jail for
moonshining. The boys thought they
would put up a joke on the Todd
county sheriff because he knew Meth
er of them by sight and so it was
agreed that George Lichy should come
to Long Prairie, tell the sheriff he
was Anton Lichy and that he wanted
to serve his 30-day sentence, sc
George came and presented himself
His identity was disclosed when q
letter he attempted to smuggle out OF

authorities were notified and the boys

cities and villages and from federal
highway aid.
The fact is outlined in current
highway bulletin which says:
Motor vehicle owners are furnish
ing every dollar taxed for the state
trunk highways, which carry four out
of five road users in the state. Con-
sirebably more than half the auto and
truck taxes are paid by owners living
in the cities and villages. About a
fifth of the trunk highway income is
from federal aid. So the auto and
truck owning farmers, making the
only contribution from the farms,
are paying about fourth of the to-
tal-getting the main country roads
built and maintained at cost to
themselves of 25 cents on the dollar.
The new plan affords benefits to

trunk routes. Transfer to the state
Cf the main roads, which had been
taking 80 per cent of county road and
bridge money, left much larger sums
for betterments on county and town.
ship roads.
Only the motor vehicle owners pay
any taxes for trunk highway pur-
poses. If he owns an automobile or
truck, the farmer on the county or
town road pays toward the trunk
highway fund. But the tax on his
machine is less than it was under the
old personal property tax law. On
the other hand, farmers on trunk
highways pay several times as much
in county and township road taxes, all
of which are used on local roads.
Incidentally, as is generally known,
car and truck owners of Hennepin,
Ramsey and St. Louis counties pay
AZ per cent of the motor vehicle
taxes, but not one dollar of the money
is used in the cities of Minneapolis,
St. Paul or Duluth.
A strange fact, the bulletin adds,
is that the farmers or the state have
voted against all good roads pro
posals, although they have benefited
more than the city people and have
paid the small share of the expendi-
lures. The farmers voted against
the state aid plan, the trunk highway
plan and the proposal to put gasoline
tax money into country road improve
: ment. City people paying the big
part of the bills in all cases, brought
about the adoption of each, the bull
