FEDERAL BOOZE
SLEUTHS SIGH;
FINISH NEARING
Liquor Law Enforcement to
End for Good, Report
From Capital.

Federal prohibition enforcement
as known TO Hoosiers during the
states bone dry period, is nearing
an end. reports from Washington
indicate.
With local enforcement a thing OF
the past, since the state voted for
repeal. it appears that Washington
officials also are considering federal
liquor law enforcement as fruitless
and contrary TO popular sentiment.
Under President Roosevelts reor-
ganizstion order, the prohibition
bureau Of investigation will be
merged sixty days hence, it was re-
ported authoritatively today.
Report that Tom Mcconnell, for
mer president of the Indiana Trus-
tees Association, was candidate for
federal prohibition director in Indi-
ana WAS spiked today Senator
Frederick Van Mugs said he had not
heard of it. but that he plans to
support Mcconnell for some job.
Affairs Are Unsettled
1t is expected the Indiana pro-
hibition force will be reduced so per
cent.
An unsettled state of affairs now
exists in the Office of Basil H. Min
nick, local prohibition administra-
tor. None of the agents, even Min
nick himself, is sure Of a job it is
reported.
AS one federal official pointed out,
agents have been working harder
for this reason, hoping to center
Washington attention on their eff
forts.
Fewer liquor cases are coming
into federal court, although agents
are striking at illegal manufacture
and transportation.
Minnick has been absent from his
office several days. Presumably he
is vacationing at his home in Penn
sylvania, but it is rumored he will
not return to Indiana.
Receive Little Aid
Federal officers chiefly are
handicapped because they no longer
are AIDED by local officials, except
in extreme cases
Aid comes only when police or
county officers stumble onto open
violations" in course of other duties.
The only liquor case heard at the
federal building this week is a case
in point.
Two alleged liquor law violators
we're turned over to federal agents,
when deputy sheriffs uncovered a
f1fty-gallon still at New Augusta,
after answering a call of a reported
holdup.
Lloyd Henning, r. R. 8, Box 1T,
and Omar McCaslin, of near New
Augusta, were bound to the federal
grand jury in connection with the
case Thursday. Their bonds were
fixed unusually low by Fac w.
Patrick, United States commissioner.

BISMARK, N D.. June Gov
ernor William Hangar placed the
city Of Bismark under martial law
Thursday in an effort to stop a
costly labor war around the new

which is under construction.
Governor Hangar ordered ma

on constant duty about the state
house as a result of q two weeks
strike which has resulted in vio-
lence.
Although the entire city was
placed under martial law, soldiers
took actual command Of only a
small area about the capitol. The
two troops comprised $50 men.
The trouble began when laborerS
struck for higher wages.
Hangar stated in his official dec
laration of martial law that men
who desired to work had been
stoned, beaten and driven away,
that their families had been threat
ened.
Hauling material for the new
capitol had been delayed and the
drivers molested.

LAKE ANGLERS
HAMPERED BY
ROUGH WATER
Streams North and West of
City Are Clearing
Up Rapidly.
BY LEFTY LEE

Game warden reports from the
lake region today are practically the
same, the lakes being high and
rough. Blue gills and bass spawn
ing conditions are good, however
and all lakes report a large number
on the spawning beds. Anglers stay
away from the lakes, which is as it
should be. for best results.
Game wardens and their helpers
are busy removing gar and carp
from the lakes, and have succeeded
in eliminating hundreds Of these
obnoxious intruders.
Streams north and west of the
city are clearing rapidly but still are
high, while southern and south
eastern streams are still high and
muddy Anglers who cannot resist
wetting a line until the season opens
should conflne their efforts to eve
ming fishing in nearby streams that
are we'll stocked with catfish.
Carp and sucker fishing is o. K,
but unless dough balls are used for
bait, many game fish are hooked and
injured while the angler is trying
for these fish.
The Isaac Walton League is busy
in the northern part of the state
and have recently stocked Little
river with 5000 small mouth bass.
The boys in that section are proud
of Little river, claiming the stream
is one of the best stocked bass
streams in the country.
Ike Mayne, well known to anglers
who fish the lake region, is in dis
grace at home, not because he used
his Wife's lace curtain for a seine,
but because he was caught doing it,
Fishermen who travel to Michi-
gan in search of the big ones will
be pleased TO learn that that state
has reduced the price of a non
resident license for the season to 81.
VacationiSts even can beat this
price, as they have a special ten
day permit for 81.
Hundreds of people have stopped
for hours at the Emrichsville dam,
near Riverside park, to watch the
fish fighting their way up the lad
der in their desire to travel up
stream.
The big ona that broke the line
and escaped often is the fault of
the fisherman. Many who consider
themselves good at the art lose the
fish because they will not give an
inch. When the fish is hooked, no
slack line should be permitted. An

NEW YEARS DAY

Festivals in celebration of the beginning of new
year have been traced back far 5000 B. C., to
ancient Babylon They may have been held long
before that. Throughout the ages various peoples
have observed various days as New Years Day.
In view of the many calendars which have been
employed to mark the passage of time, much con-
fusion has resulted Different peoples have counted
the years from some real or imaginary event, and
the length of the year itself has varied according to
the calendar used
The Mohammedan year, for example, is governed
by the moon, instead of the sum- and consists of IL
lunar months, only 354 days The Hebrew call
endar also consists of 354 days ordinarily but an ex-
ira month is inserted in 10 years, making 1884
days in those ernbolsmc years, they are called.
The ancient Egyptian year had II months of 30
days each, but five supplementary days were added
at the end making 365 days. Similar pecularities
marked the year of various other peoples. At one
time another every day in the year has been con-
sidered New Years Day according to some calendar
other.
Our present calendar Is a modification of that
established by julius Caesar in the year 46 B. c.
Augustus made some Encouragement Of the number
of days in the various months, that august named
for him. might have many days as July, named
for Julius. for originally August had only 30 days.
The calendar established by Pope
Gregory in 1882.
So, when we observe New Years Day may
understand that 1t does not mean anything in par
tcular except that it is the first day of year
bitrary established convenient means Of reckon
ing the fight of time.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING.

In looking over old files of the Herald, the IS
sue of Dec IS 1913, published this significant state
rnent taken from files Of June 10, 1863 me va
tional debt May l. 1858. was $2,54O,z4O,43o. Inc
census of 1870 placed the population OF the entre
country at 3S558371. This made per capita IN
debtedness of about 81 dollars.
This total Indebtedness was three years after Lee
surrendered to Grant at Appomatox, ending the
Civil War.
How times have changed.
The 1890 Federal census placed the total population
of the United States at 122,775046, less than four
times the total population of 1870 On the same ra-
ito of indebtedness total today should be approx
imately ten billion dollars.
Today the public debt has increased to more
than twenty-four billion dollars and the end is not
in sight.
Of course the World War took its toll OF men
and money. The United States went into the war
for humanity's sake Money was loaned to the Al
lies right and left.
What has happened? ..
The foreign countries owing this debt are de-
faultng on their payments-are insisting even that
Uncle Sam mark the indebtedness off the BOOKS
Eventually this country will pay the entire bill
The terrific expense borne by Uncle Sam in car
rying on his part of the war was reduced somewhat
from 1920 to 1890. With the advent of President
Roosevelt his vast reconstruction program has added
billions to the total, and the end is not yet!
Verify the American citizen has right to stop
and seriously ponder, WHITTIER are We Driftng?
