THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By 1. C. McCUMBER

Three years have elapsed since we
trod the ground of the Volunteer
state. And those three years have
meant much to the natives and to
those who may be enumerated as tran
sients. Three years ago half pints
were retailing for $1.50. Today COM
petition is so keen that sour mash
from the wood can be secured for rs
cents per Shorty" Our thirty mil
lion dollar "booze hound" enforcement
bureau is really cheapening the price
of good liquor in the South.
Not satlsned with the quality of
Tennessee mountain dew, we wander
ed into the states of Mississippi and
Arkansas. In the latter state we
found remarkable good fishing and
plenty of that which "booze hounds"
get tipsy on. The price was quite
reasonable, inasmuch as no ice was
needed in chilling" the corn mash
product.
Horn Lake, Miss, in time gone by,
was the haven to which all good Mis-
sissippi navigators from Caruthers-
vile, Mo-, steered their craft when
the federal "booze hounds" needed
good liquor to quench their thirst.
Millions of dollars Of the good stuff
waA seized, and after it had been
taken away from the rum runners it
could not be located with a Lick tel
escope. 1t was a wonderful liquid
1t evaporated and the evaporization
left much money in the pockets of
the "booze hounds"
"Snow birds" are plentiful in those
staid, slow-going southern states. The
"snow bird" is product of the So
called prohibition graft. When beer,
wine and good hard liquor is not
available, along comes the drug ped
dler and instead of police supervision
over beer and wine, the dope peddler
wakes fat and plethoric, while young
girls and boys are sent on their way
to federal jails and prisons.

Who's liar? The men who draw
from five thousand to ten thousand
dollars year from Uncle Sam as
falsifers on the prohibition staff.

inc tank, we started for two hum
