Three Dollars Collected
Officers Can Enforce Law Without Fear of Criticism

A summary for 1926 of the counties
from which we have at this writing re-
ceived figures - over one-third of the
counties of the state-shows that more
than three dollars were collected in fines
from prohibition cases for every dollar of
extra cost of investigation or prosecution
expended in these cases. The counties re-
porting are average counties, covering
every section of the state.

the results possible everywhere. The tax

forcement; the bootleggers can be made

AN APPEAL
Don't Join the Enery's Forces by
Withdrawing Your Support From
the Anti-Saloon League
Mrs. B. L. Kellogg. Editor


II there was ever time when every
dry patriot should give their full and UNI
qualified support, both moral and hnan-
cial, to the Anti-Saloon League, it is right
now, and it is surprising how many
staunch dries have withdrawn their sup
port because that we'll informed body en-
dorsed Frank Smith for the u. S. Senate.
There is no one thing that would SO
please the wet forces as would the disrup-
ton of the following of this, their most
powerful enemy and as hard as it is to
understand, many dries have been caught
in this trap.
There are stupendous efforts to dis
credit the Anti-Saloon League without
which we would never have had prohibi-
ton, without which we cannot keep it. No
loyal dry should be satisfied with any
thing but all they can give, in every way,
to support the great work they are doing.
The League is human organization,
and may not have functioned perfectly,
but what organization does? But it can
be said that when they have Numbered,
they have always Numbered forward and
when they have fallen down, if they ever
have, they have fallen down getting up.
What they have achieved is little short
of miracle; they are constantly under
the searchlight of criticism and it is little
short of crime against our government
and surely against the dry cause, to join
forces which weaken them.
VETS Chief Aim
Nothing would delight the vets more
than to have the Anti-Saloon League put
out of business, or to have its influence so
weakened that it could not keep up the
vigorous fight it has put up for quarter
of century The vets know that this
group has been their abest and most eff
fcient foe Their most implacable hate
and their supreme efforts at villihcation,
are directed against the League. If there
is any one thing we must not allow, it is
any division of our dry forces. WE
MUST STAND TOGETHER.

Paragraphs on Varied Activities Of Illinois AnSaIOOn League

The Dramatic Debate, Can the Law
Be Enforced?" has been extensively used
in the Leagues educational work, especi-
ally among the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs,

tended to include particularly high schools,
colleges, and universities.

with both fines and prison sentences inn
posed upon violators, enforcement can be
made to steadily progress, until prohibi-
tion enforcement will be no more of
problem than the enforcement of other
laws.

Act provides:

CHICAGO. April 5.-Before The sun
was very high over the horizon today,
the farmers of the country knew how
many head of livestock had been re-
ceived in the main markets Of the
United States and what price they
were bringing. A good many far
ners. if they found it advantageous
were in a position TO dispose Of their
animals in today's markets ana TO
come back home before nigatfall with
the actual cash received for them
jingling In their pockets.
The main factors which have made
this condition possible. and which
have taken much Of the gamble and
uncertainty ont Of the livestock IN
Clustry. are the radio, good roads and
faster motor and rail transportation.
Oan Figure Ahead.
Even those feeders beyond the
economical range of motor transporta-
tion TO market could estimate from
figures on stock in transit about what
the Wednesdays supplies would he

animals into railroad cars today and

condition Of the market is broadcast
seven times day, In addition eX-
perts some of them In the employ of
the Government, broadcast an analy-
sis Of the market showing not only
what the situation is but the causes
for its condition. As q result the
livestock industry has been revolu,
tionized and has become the mainstay
OF many agriCulturists who otherwise
would be in financial straits through
low grain prices. Livestock is cash
crop and is coming to be recognized
as such,
Motor Transport Heavy.
Motor transport of livestock has
grown 10 tremendous proportions, In
one day recently, 1000 hogs came into
the Omaha markets In trucks. Ship
ments by truck have led To the estab-
lishment of a large number of new
packing houses In various farm sec
tions. Building of fine highways has
assured these plants of an adequate
supply Of animals the year around. In
former years it often was impossible
for the feeder to get his stock to
market even If he wished to sell and
the packers found it impossible TO
operate at a profit unless they could
be assured of regular supplies.
Some Of the animals now are brought
to market by farmers in their own
trucks, which hold from 90 to 30 hogs
Some are purchased on the farm and
shipped in trucks belonging to repre-
sentat tives of the packers or dealers
operating on their own speculative
account. In a few localities motor
truck companies. organized for the
purpose, transport the animals at so
much a head acting as common
carriers.
