He offered the suggestion that the caretaker of the school be armed with some weapon to cope with a case of this kind, should one occur in the future, The members of the board realis- ed the sefiousmess of the matter, but there were mo suggestions put forth to serve as "safety firet" methods, and the matter was allowed to pass over, but it is hoped thet in future, when the stray canines around Viec- tora school want to "scrap" that they pick out some vacant fleld and not disturb the pupils at this school.

"There is real prohibition | among the working classes but it 1s | only because they haven't' got the | of this the bootlegger"s Husienss is ai very poor business.

They have only recently gone into distilling and the whiskey they make is poison. Their fermenmt- | == ed liquors are perfectly harmiess |= while satisfying the craving for stim- | = ulant. There is more whiskey manu- factured in the country than we have any idea of." >, Local officers are employed cor- stantly in running to earth reports of stills in operation. Their difficul- ty is in obtaining the apjaratus. So simple is the contrivance that it can be improvised into a still that it is almost fmpossible in many cases to prove the existence of a stii! at all.
