BENSON

The seizure Of a large copper still
with 500 gallons OF corn masn and 10
gallons OF the finished product was
reported in Tucson several days ago
by Federal Agent S. E. Kent, who led
the raiding party that found the ap-
paratus in the river bed of the San
Pedro river, a short distance from
Benson last Saturday morning.
When the officers reached the still
which was located next to the river
bank, there was no one near. The
still was made of copper and had a
zoo gallon capacity, Kent said. In
construction it was of the very latest
type, having a cooling system for the
coils made possible by an adjoining
floor of arteSian water
The mash used in the manufacture
of the whisky was kept in ten large
wooden barrels. After satisfying them
selves that the operator of the still
was not in the vicinity, the officers
poured out the mash and whisky and
wrecked the still.
In addition to Kent, the officers in
the party were Frank A. Bell, also a
federal enforcement officer, and j. j.
Wa1n, constable OF Benson.
When Kent and Bell returned to
Tucson they brought with them Jesus
Lopez, who was turned over by Con-
stable Vein for prosecution III the
federal courts for possession of liquor.
Lopez had two sacks of beer in his
possession when arrested at Pom
creme, the officers charge.
Provisions creating fire commits
sion of three members and a. fire de-
partment for the town of Benson were

zona and western New Mexico can
produce
Special effort will be made to secure
appropriate bronchoS for the bucking
horse contests so that the prize win
ners will have something to be proud
of when they turn 'em out in the

Berlin Restaurant
Serves More Milk

BERLIN (B-The consumption of
milk in the restaurant of the Ger
man Reichstag has increased go to
70 per cent, according to Wilhelm
Sollmann, socialist deputy and for4
mer minister of the interior. Herr
Sollmann, leader in the German ''dry"
movement, points to these figures as
hopeful signs that the use of intoX
icating liquors, even by legislators,
is on the wane in Germany.
Restaurant keepers in Berlin say
that there is not as much drinking
as formerly, especially during lunch
con hours. While before the war a
"kellner'' took it almost as perso-
nal insult if guest did not order
wine or beer, many proprietors now
instruct their walters not to suggest
drinks unless the patron asks for
them.
