Wilt Resistant Sweet Corn

Golden Bantam Cross, new hybrid
variety of Golden Bantam sweet corn,
is resistant to Stewards disease, a
wilt that causes nearly 100 per cent
loss in fields where it strikes. This
was developed at Ohio State univer-
sity, Columbus, Ohio, and tests this
year throughout the state show that
it was 95 per cent resistant in fields
where other corn was practically
killed. This disease is carried on the
seed and in the soil, and has recently
been found as the cause of heavy
losses in dent field corn.--Prairie

Girl Runner Must Decide Soon
For Which Country She
Will Perform

Cleveland, July 12.-(P)-Torn be-
tween love for her native land, Po-
land, and for her home of adoption
the United States, Stella Walsh,
worlds champion woman sprinter,
attempted to decide Tuesday for
which country she will run in the
coming Olympics at Los Angeles.
The deciding factor, however, will
be a job, the youthful Cleveland
speedster has decreed, and in COM
pliance with this demand, represent
atives of both countries have put in
their bids.
A position imp ublic recreation work
in Poland was offered by the Polish
consul in New York, while Similar
work was offered by Cleveland
through Mayor Ray T. Miller.
The Cleveland offer was contingent
upon an acceptance by Miss Walsh
of U. S. citizenship at special ma
turalization hearing sometime Tues
day.
Miss Walsh applied for citizenship
several months ago but recently twice
refused to go through with the pro-
ceedings, after losing her job with
the New York Central railroad.
Holding it imperative she be a
wage-earner, the slim-figured athlete
masked her face in characteristic
bland expression and let it be known
that her citizenship will go to the
highest bidder.

Prohibition Brought Big
GrOUth to Bootleg Rings

Rise of GangIand

this real beer in their direction be-
fore 1t got de-alcoholized properly.
Rise of Gangland
Most spectacular of all phases of
the illicit liquor business, of course,
was the underworld gang
Most OF the large cities developed
booze-running gangs during the first
decade of prohibition. Nowhere. how
ever, did the gangs become as strong,
as insolent in their activities or as
incredibly bloodthirsty as in Chicago.
Chicago, to be sure, has always had
| lawleSS gangs and many murders.
Long before prohibition it had crooked
police and political leaders working
hand in glove with underworld fig
ures. The advent of the illegal booze
| simply played into the hands of these
gentry. They were not long in max
ing the most of their opportunities.
At first the beer-running and
whisky distributing business fell into
the hands Of fairly small neighbor-
hood gangs. But organizers were not
wanting, and three or four years after
prohibition had begun Chicago had
been divided into two parts. each pro-
Vlded with its booZe-and all the other
unlawful pleasures it desired-by a
powerful gang.
The North Side was in the hands
of a group of plug -uglieS captained by
a tough youngster named Dion O'Ban-
| ion, who ran florist shop as blind.
The South Side was controlled by
Johnny Torrios gang, of which a
young scar faced Sicilian named Al
Capone was chief lieutenant.
The fight seemed to be about over
by the end of 1880, with AL Capone
practically supreme and most of his
opponents occupying garish collins in
various cemeteries. A year later, how
ever, the federal government struck at
the gangs through the income tax
law, and today Capone is serving time
in Atlanta prison - while Chicago
hears ominous rumors that the lesser
gang leaders are shortly to begin a
new war, or series of wars, for control
of the absent monarch's kingdom
Nowhere else did the gangs ever
become as notorious as in Chicago
But every large city had them. and
still has them; and every large city
has known it's beer wars in which
the leaders of a rich and flourishing
business settle their disputes with
guns because the business has no le-
gal standing.
On Home Made Basis
AS the first decade of prohibition
passed, the illegal liquor trade grew
more systematized. Different local.
ties developed their own sources OF
supply. Smuggling became less i'm
portant in the general scheme o.
things, especially since Canada tight.
ened up on the laws which govern ex-
ports of liquor from the Dominion.
The governments efforts to copt
with the traffic changed. too.
General Andrews, plain-spoken and
industrious, was the first to present g
really comprehensive enforcement
program-in 1926; and although con-
gress failed to give him the legislative
changes he had asked for, it did, in
that year, vote to put prohibition
agents under civil service, to separate
the prohibition bureau from the in
ternal revenue department, to in
crease the prohibition bureaus appro-
priations and to build new boats for
the Coast Guard.

Fargo Paddock Action
Promises Legal Fight

Fargo, July 12.-(P)-District Judge
Daniel B. Holt Monday ordered Frank
I. Temple, Cass county states attor-
ney, to file briefs within four days
citing legal authorities on the quas-
ton of abating property under the
nuisance laws, following hearing on
motion to set aside an order under
which Ell Patio cafe, near West Far
go, was closed last Friday.
Francis Murphy of Fargo, attorney
for the cafe operators, challenged the
right of the state to close the place
on the grounds that it was ordered
locked up without due process of law
and that the closing was not carried
out according to the injunctional or
der issued by Judge Holt Friday res
training the owners and operators
from maintaining nuisance.
A. j. Manners, deputy sheriff, tes-
tilted he searched the place when he
served the order but found no liquor.
