Big Shipment Enters.
Already one big thtpmcnt lins been
aiade to this country under the provi
sions of the supplemental law. Gin
valued In bootleg circles at $.'1,000,000
was rclmported from Cubn about two
weeks ago. The distillery which niado
tin; shipment had gone out of busi
ness, a fact that apparently was not
discovered by the government agents
until the gin had arrived hero. A spe
cial permit had to be obtained from
Washington before It could be stored
In a local warehouse, pending Its
withdrawal for medicinal purposes on
permits from the director's office.
Prohibition agents wcro mystified In
checking up the cargo to note on the
manifest 112 empty barrels. They
have not yet been able to make out
the reason for the empties, but Fed
eral Prohibition Director llalph A.
Day regarded it as a suspicious cir
cumstance. The passage of the Willis-Campbell
Inw, ostensibly for the purpose of kill
ing medicinal beer, has iiuulo It pos
sible for the thirsty to be supplied
with good liquors for a much longer
period than appeared likely before
the measure was adopter), prohibition
ofllclnls said. In some quarters the
provision for tho reimport of liquors
was considered as a "Joker."

from her builders to the United States

In tho Lone Star State, as In other
passenger carrying vessels constructed
under government supervision, tho ele

prohibition department plans to scru
tinize carefully the applications for
permits to reimport.
What Is regarded as another "Jok

provision which exempts payment of

upon which the tax has not been pnld

The supervision of the schools ol
tho lho civilized tribes Cherokee,
Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and
.Seminole has to deal with three
phases of scliool activity which nro
ranked In Importance US' follows:
Tribal boarding schools, public day
schools and private contract schools.
Have Nine Boarding Schools.
There are nine tribal bonrdlng
schools and seven contract schools,
while tho public day school system
Includes L'.SOO districts with an enroll
ment of about 18,000 Indian children.
Tho supervisor's ofllco lins Jurisdic
tion ovd- the Indian pupil only in
theso day schools, not over the public
school as such.
The tribal boarding schools nro main
tained for each distinct tribe and tho
completed educational plants. Each Is
equipped with kitchen, dining-room,
dormitory, laundry, hospital and facili
ties for Industrial and academic edu
cation. Most of these schools have a
large acreage which is tilled and
the product used In the mnlutcmuid
of the school.
Emphasize Industries.
Agriculture is emphasized in all tin
Indian industrial schools, although .shop
work, carpentry, leather machlno and
metal work, homemaklug for girls and
scientific homo economics nro all a
part of tho Industrial course. Tho
industrial program Is a part-time proc
ess, Mr. Calhoun explained, with the
pupil devoting half his time to In
dustrial education and half to aca
demic Instruction. Tho academic
courses are designed particularly for
tho Indian.
Six of tho contract schools are de
nominational Institutions, according to
Mr. Calhoun, while the seventh Is n
stato agricultural school. Courses In
these Institutions tncludo tho Indus
trial nnd academic.

CROPS AND PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS.
ING ON AGRICULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Prlced, Fertile Landi,
Stilt to Be Had, Is in Best
Possible Position.
Tho economic problems connected
with tho advantageous marketing of
farm crops nnd tho flnnnclng of tho
movement of those crops tire pressing
upon ngrlculturo most severely. They
will bo bolved, however, nnd whllo
thnt solution la being worked out It
Is pimply good sense on the farmer's
part to make his efforts toward pro
duction tell to tho very maximum, us
best carrying him through tho period
of depression nnd hard times and
placing him In the best position to
tnko the greatest possible advantago
of tho better times to come. Wo may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
Is nlmost Invariably the largest crop
which can bo obtained. Or In other
words, tho grcntcr tho crop, tho
greater the net profit. To nttaln such
crops nnd to place himself in the ad
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must s,tudy, nnd must apply
tho results of his study to such prob
lems ns soli fertility, Its conservation
nnd lncrenso; soil moisture, Its con
trol; cultural methods, suitable nnd
productive varieties, ctc, etc.
..Tho question Is how cnti you best
accomplish and secure thoso things?
Cnn'thcy l- done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may bo had from thnt grown
nnd raised on much cheaper lands,
waose production Is fully ns great ns
flint of tho high-priced lands? Tho
nnswer Is unquestionably In fnvor of
the low-priced lands, when they nro
selected because of their soil fertility
nnd tho other requirements necessary.
It is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands of Western
Canndn would prove n splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize tho
fact that In order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some of
the burden thnt you nro laboring un
der, you must secure somo lino of
cheaper operation, whether It be re
moval to other parts In your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage of that which
Western Cnnnda affords.
For Informutlou regarding thoso

AUTO HITS TEAM
Laurel, April 18. Unable to see a
team driven by Lester Briscoe, 1303
Myrtle avenue, yesterday in the heavy
mist, a large touring car driven by an
unknown man ran into the team and
seriously injured the driver and killed
one of the mules. The accident oc
curred on Main street near Johnson's
hardware store. A crowd quickly
gathered and one of the by-standera
was heard to remark that a person
chould be punished for not protecting
himself against such nn accident. He
said that he knew of a preparation
called "SEE THRU" that could be
bought for a dollar from a concern in
Baltimore, Maryland, called the Balti

would have prevented the accident 03
no matter how hard it should be rain
ing a wind shield treated with this
preparation would always remain as
clear as on a bright summer day and
that every person who drove a car
should not endanger life by going
without it. He said that he had driven
over from Govanstown several nights
before and could not understand how
the driver of the jitney could make
such speed on a rainy night until he
told him he always used "SEE
THRU ". After the driver explained
to him how simple it was to have a
clear wind-shield and guaranteed to
be so as long as it rained he said he
did not lose anytime sending off his
dollar for a box and that he found
that it certainly did the trick. Adver
