 It took the grand toboggan of De- pression to shake us out of the last pickpocket job. But we did get rid of the Volstead headache. For ever, we hoped.
 And banking on the permanence of emancipation, Esquire goes on, business leaders responded by in- vesting much millions in plants, equipment, hotels, restaurants and what not. All this financial stim- ulus, applied to national economy which seemed to be on its last limp, produced a revivifying effec which extended out into all walks of life and almost every nook and cranny of the country. The statistics quoted by Esquire give only faint idea of the reach of it's influence as a rehabilitation.
 If you relish horrors, suggests Esquire, try to picture to yourself what will happen to us if her ad- mirerS succeed in bringing back Miss Prohibition. They're trying! They're achieving minor coups in rural sec- tions that aren't on their guard Slyly aided by local bootleggers and gravy loving politicians, the "tem- perance forces" are getting a sart.

 There's the double-edge-sw sword styles of attack on liquor by super taxation. Under pretext of helping the federal government, you lay on an extra-heavy tax to raise Tots of money" But it's so heavy it cuts down sales, with the result that the yield is both disappointing to the government and devastating to busi- ness - let alone the guy who would like to buy a bottle. And on top of that, states and municipalities load their tax hamperments, till fin- ally the Drys can rub their hands with glee and the bootleggers can open shop again.

DANES PREPARING

Americans Crowd u. S. Con

forts To Return Home

COPENHAGEN, April -. Up
Americans crowded the United States
consulate today seeking valuation of
passports for the trip home through
Germany and Italy as the Danes
hardened themselves to the rigors
of a wartime blackout and the pros
pect of food rationing.
Estimates of the number Of Ameri-
cans living in Denmark vary be-
tween 700 and 1900. There are many
more in Norway and Sweden.
So far no one has been permitted
to leave the country and traffic with
the outside world has stopped except
for that of German military Off
Gals.
King Christian gave the people
his w idea of how to act under
the German occupation by taking tc
his horse for his usual morning
canter.
AS yet the only r~ationing is a gen
eral order that only four days sup
ply of foodstuffs may be purchased,
Most Danes, however, expect regu
lations more nearly approaching
those in Germany.
The German occupation goes for

DOUBLE LOSER

Winter returned to the deep

But summer took over on the Pa

weather was expected almost to

ring powers to use her territory
would be rejected.
Hanson said no such demand had
yet been received. He asserted firm
ly that Sweden would continue to
follow a strict hands off policy in
what perhaps is the most trying
moment in over 100 years."
He added: ITO maintain our neu-
trality means that, if necessary, we
must defend it.
"Since the wal has been brought
to Sweden's door, she must even in
tensify her military preparations.
This explains why the Swedish gov
eminent during the past days has
taken certain additional measures.
Sweden retains the right to in
dependence and to Independent &C
tons. It is irreconcilable with strict
neutrality that Swedish territory be
used to advantage by any belliger-
ent nation.
ut is therefore satisfying that no
demand of such a nature has been
addressed to Sweden. If such a de-
I mand should ever be made, Sweden
would have to refuse to comply with
it,"
The premier added that it was
unnecessary to stress SWeden's
friendly feelings towards Norway.

Mcguire the city and county and
food dealers in Wilmington have
agreed to set up a revolving fund
from which the food stamp plan can

A letter was also received from
Senator Josiah w. Bailey assuring
the city he will do all in his power
to further its interests in n n

The letter said:
Il shall be very glad to do any
thing I can to bring about the in

plan in Wilmington. I am taking the
matter up with the authorities and
will follow it up in every way I can."
The food stamp plan is a system
whereby surplus commodities are
distributed through grocery stores

through FSCC warehouses. 1t is
now in use in Charlotte and other

Prospects for better prices this

that Gamers stocks were consider.
able lower now than at the present
time last year. However, there is
the possibility, he explained further,
that South Carolina growers may
plant more than average on account
Of the present high Florida prices.
If so, canners' stocks will be UP
AGAIN before the season opens here.
High grade beans, Mr.. Sabiston
added, seldom encounter low prices.
As for bean crop prospects here,
weather conditions will play an i'm.
nortant part this year. Seed move
ment has been about the same as
last year; so weather conditions will
determine whether or not the yield
will be above or below normal.
