Ah u result of his experience he came back •staggered by the immensity of the rum running organization and by the magnitude of its operations." •| and twenty others were signed on a freighter hound from Newiastle-on-Tyne for Antwerp and thence to Hall(ax" said Harris in telling of his ex periences. "So far as an yof us knew i£ was simply a general cargo voyage The first intimation we had that the ship was a rum runner was when 33. (Hio cases t>( whiskey were taken aboard at Antwerp. Arrivp At Rum Row “We arrived at Rum Row three weeks later, Smaller boats came along side and w were all ordered out tc help handle the stuff. The cook, the messroom steward and myself refused. We asked what special terms the men were getting for this kind of a job All we got in answer were threats of penalties if we didn't turn to and help "We did nothing, however, and noth ing was done to us. “Later we lay at Halifax and w< were ordered to go out and remove ti cargo of whiskey from another ship to ours. This time we all declined to help; but twenty longshoremen wev< quickly secured and they did the job . Once more the ship returned to Rum Row and the stuff was transferred ns before to smaller boats. After that the steamer returned to England and we were paid off. The cook and I signed our wage receipts under protest and the National Seamen’s and Firemen's Union has the matter In hand. Magnitude of Operations “Hut what struck me most atxiut the afair was the magnitude of the opera lions Everybody seemed to know whe the ‘big noises' in the games were. It was common talk that there was a def finite arrangement between the big fellow sand the governin' -t»l Office?* ns to Kiting the stuff in. Occasionally a rum runner does get caught, lMlf when he does you may he sure iie is only one of the smaller fry. It is not the government officers but the high sea bi-jackers' that worry the rum runners most. Some of these pirates raids net huge returns in money and whiskey. , "Florida and off New York are the best running grounds, but the talk on the Row was that the Pacific coast was getting to be nearly as good.

Harry Fritzinger, Decatur postmaster, is sending out blanks furnished by the post-office department for a special crop acreage survey, to be made during September. These blanks are distributed to farmers in

the county by rural route carriers,, who will fill out or check reports us . ter they are made by farmers on their; routes. These cards are to Ik? returned to | the local postoffice for forwarding tOj Washington not later than September 13, 1925. The purpose of this survey is to furnish a basis for determining the acreage in each of the important crops grown in the United States. With information as to acreage, combined with information from official crop reporters as to yield per acre, accurate reports to total production of crops can be madeGovernment crop reports are valuable to farmers in furnishing a. basis for the exercise of intelligent judgment in—1. Planning his future production! program. 2. Deciding upon the disposition of his crops when an alternative is possible, that is, whether to harvest the crop or graze it off; whether to market the crop or feed it to livestock, etc. 3. Determining whether the market situation warrants sale of his pro-; ducts infmediately or later in the marketing season. Government crop reports gives to farmers the same kind of information 1 that dealers in agricultural products obtain at great expense through their i own private crop reporting agencies in order to trade with safety and profit. Farmers need this information just as much as the dealers in order to be in position to sell their products intelligently. If government reports wore abolished, farmers would be compelled to depend almost entirely on crop reports prepared by dealers in farm products. NOTICE Initiatory ceremony will be held for the Fellowcraft degree of Blue Lodge Masons at the Masonic hall tonight at seven-thirty. All members of this degree are urged to be present.
