the officers found another still with
270 gallons of mash. There were no
coils. The still had not recently been
operated and was probably a supply
depot for the operators who were
caught.
This is the second raid within a
week in which Sheriff Jacobson has
participated. On Dec. 20 he broke up
gang of moonshiners near Sanish.
The Watford City Farmer and Guide
says that Sheriff jacobson "is deter
mined to get all the stills in McKen-
zie county and bring the guilty men
to account"
If the Mckenzie county sheriff
wants to "bring the guilty men to ac-
count" he will have to cross the Mon
tana border and get the cooperation
of the authorities in the border coun-
ties of that state, where the former
Williston bootleg kings are now said
to be operating. These bootleg kings
we are told, have somehow been able
to get by with the least amount Oh
molestation and have grown rich in
plying their illicit trade, as the title

"What kind of prohibition enforce
ment can you expect" says a loca,
commentator, "when the big operator;

low with a bottle is run in. Perhaps
the federal enforcement officers have
nets that will fit only the herring

MILLIONAIRES ARE
INCREASING In U.S..
Statisticians Assert Number Has
Grown from 1000 in 1914 to 3O,UOo
At the Present Time.

Chicago, Dec. -Millionaires have
increased from 1000 in 1914 to be-
tween 10000 and 10000 in 1928, Carl
Snyder of the federal reserve bank of
New York told the American Statlstl-
cal association in convention Thurs
day.
POSSIBLY half or more of these
(new millionaires) have been created
by the violent debasement in the val
ue of the currency which has taken
place since the beginning of the war,
he said. "a considerable part of the
present number must be due, also, to
the enormous rise in the value of Sc
curities since the war, and to the CO.
lossal manipulation in security values
incomparably the greatest gamble the
world has ever known.
"Years of unusual expansion are
paid for by lean years of depression
and unemployment, often involving
widespread suffering. High hopes are
brought low, fortunes are wrecked
and worst of all the business and eco
nomic morale of the nation seriously
impaired.
"When fortunes can be made gam
bling in pieces of paper, of what at
traction are the unique virtues of in
dustry, sobriety and thrift? These
are temporarily thrown into the dis
card, reluctantly and discontentedly
to be resumed when the house Of
cards has crumbled.
"The apparent gains of prosperity
or at least of booms, are largely il
lusory and in SO far as they are re
atty have been, in the past at least
too dearly paid for. Clearly, tru'
prosperity, that is, the general diffu
sion of comfort and well being anon.
the largest possible number of TIL
population, is not dependent upon in
flation and boom. -
CLEARLY, we do not need a debase
ment of tn ecurrency of exchange o
frenzied connection of speculation
in stocks to assure this condition o
we'll being. We have this amply a

of a champagne Jag"

leaders of the Republican party in
Helena favor an investigation whilst
the old guard company democrats are
disposed to throw cold water upon it.
Bricker Has Some Opposition
There is much opposition to the
election of Rep. Bricker to the speak
ership. 1t is pointed out that he has
held the office before and that his
attempt to get the office this time is
in the nature of preliminary skirm-
ish for the congressional nomination
should Scott Leavitt decide to run fol
the Senatorship two years hence.
There are many budding congression-
al candidates in the house and they
do not care about giving Bricker an
undue advantage. Besonson of Mis-
soula is likely to be the Democrat,
floor leader again although the com.
pany crowd are boosting another
man.

by the referee and Rose gallantly took
up the battle again as soon as the
cobwebs cleared from his brain.
In the second round the battle was
quite even, although Trochie appear
ed the stronger of the two, and there
was some very clever work done in
this round.
The third round opened up with
both boys going strong, but after a
minute of fast boxing Troche again
made vicious attack on Rose which
the Billings boy seemed unable to
ward off and with vicious right and
lefts to the jaw the Billings boxer
sank to the floor and failed to come

made most appropriate POSTMASTER,
and greeted the assemblage with the
following opening welcome:
The duty Of presiding at this meet

hope that / will not be like some

This is the first time in northeast

have come together to take counsel.
Nearly every other body of men have
held their meetings in this region.
The bankers have their regular con-

right to have similar meetings.

MAYTAG SPONSORS
New TYPE RADIO PRO-
GRAM OVER COUNTRY
Unique Method of NATIONWIDE
Broadcasting ApprOvde BY Fedora
Radio Commission.


Broadcasting ApprOvde BY Federal
Radio Commission.
Radio audiences in all sections of
the country are getting new thrills of
delight due to the introduction of an
entirely new type of radio broadcast
ing by The Maytag Company, washer
manufacturers of Newton, Iowa. The
Introductory program broadcast re-
Gently from K d K A, Pittsburgh, and
KYW, Chicago, were so successfully
presented and so enthusiastically re-
ceived that the newsystem bids fair
to revolutionize present broadcasting
methods.
The new type of radio broadcasting,
perfected after two years of study
and experimentation, is known as the
So-A-Tonic process, and is exclusive
ly controlled by National Radio Ad-
vertising, Inc, of Chicago. The new
process permits the assembling OF
talent in the largest cities, where q
transcription is made by electrical
reproduction and transported to- the
various stations elected to broadcast
the Maytag programs. Some idea OF
the Importance of the new process is
indicated by the fact that certain rul
ings by the Federal Radio Commission
were necessary before it could be
used.
The 1929 radio program for the
Maytag Company calls for broad
casting under the So-A-Tonic process
from over so of the principal stations
throughout the United States and il
Canada. This constitutes the larges
independent radio schedule in thu
world. The appointment of stations
and hours Of broadcasting will be an
nounced in newspapers from time t.
time. Watch the radio announce
ments and be ready to listen in whel
your favorite station begins t
broadcast the Maytag programs.
