You disturb the moonshine." This statement, according to aver acious reports, was made to a party of sportsmen by a farmer. Ever has this been the case ever have makers of illicit "booze" been readily excited by gun fire and the baying of dogs. Moonshiners are quiet men. Moon shiners talk undertones. Moonshin ers and noise were ever deadly enemies. Deep-buried in the woods or hills, these outwitters of Vol steadism ask only "to be let governs least." For them there is more poetry in smoke curling from some ravine's hidden recess than ia dreamt of in the huntsman's philosophy. For them there is company where none intrudes. Some out-of-the-way spot of quier Far from the noise and haste and heat That spoil life's music sweet That is all that the moonshiners ask of life. Alone here with his cop per still, his "mash" and his com panions, the moonshine lives out his idyllic days. Wrhy perturb him? Why disturb him? Why af right the moonshiner with rifle-fire and dog baying? WThy should the huntsman intrude upon the moonshiner?

It is the strong arm. He intends to keep the boys on the farm by force. He has introduced a law empowering Prefects and Provincial Councils to enact ordinances forbid ding emigration from the farm to the city. Under the law penalties as severe as 9 days in jail and $100 fines may be imposed for violation of the ordinance of Profects or Ques tors. Of course, economic laws may work contrary to II Duce's law's. The farm may be unproductive. The boys may not be able to make a living on the farm. But what are economic laws to Mussolini? He is the supreme law giver of Italy. low tinged with green; apricotine, a old villianage laws of Feudalism. . :o: One of the most Important prob lems confronting the state of Ne braska today is to keep our boys on the farms, and to encourage them in the use of modern methods of agriculture. It Is impossible to keep a boy on the farm unless the state shows a progressive spirit by con structing highways that will make the farm accessable. mi7 7W' These are "Christmassy"!

He showed how vital this development would be to the Midwest, and he announced that among the first tasks to which he would give leadership would be the project of completing this great pro gram. What this will mean to industry and commerce in the Midwest, and to St. Louis in particular, may not generally be realized. Records are now available for the amount of traffic that passed through the Pan ama Canal during the fiscal year ending June 30 last. A total of 6959 vessels, or 19 a day, passed through the canal, and carried a cargo tonnage totaling 29,630709 tons, of which American vessels car ried 14.24 8,735 tons. Compare that business with the cargo tonnage handled in 1926 on the OhiOi and the Monongahela riv ers. The Ohio carried 13,374,978 tons, while the Monongahela carried 26.374.C82 tons. Those two rivers, then, carried half as much freight again as the Panama Canal last year handled for all nations. Traffic in the Canal now utilizes from 45 to 50 per cent of its capacity. This year's revenue gain of $2,500,000 in net operations over last year's total of 118,132,000, together with pre vious increases, has brought forth the problem of increasing the Pan ama Canal's capacity. When the middle and northwestern states can find shipping facilities by waterways we may be sure that huge cargoes from there will find their way west ward via the CanaL Big industries in the east have been awake for some time to the saving in freight costs by water transportation, and have been ship ping millions of tons of coal on barges yearly. With the improve ment in navigability of the Missis sippi River we may expect enormous shipments of heavy freight in its channel and economies resulting therefrom. Added incentive will be given industries to locate along wa terways in -the Midwest. Freight rates from factory to farm and from farm to market will be lowered. And with Increasing population the rail roads will have capacity business in handling fast-moving freight and in hauling to and from waterways. . Henry Ford has foreseen the pos sibilities in river navigation and has established a plant on the Mississippi between St. Paul and Minneapolis costing millions of dollars. Farmers in the Northwest were disappointed last summer when there were not enough barges to carry their pro ducts. With regular service by Gov ernment barges now maintained to St. Paul and Minneapolis there is no reason to believe that the traffic will not Increase greatly. Revival of river transportation is no longer a dream. We are In the midst of the reality. We may expect further impetus to river traffic when Mr. Hoover takes the helm to engi neer the projects authorized by Con gress. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: We have been told that all watch maker's signs bear a clock dial read ing 8:20. or something like that, in honor of Abraham, who was assas sinated at approximately that hour Now will some bright pupil please step forward and tell ua why every picture of an alarm clock shows the time to be 4:20?
