A plot to rob the United States government of millions of dollars’ worth of bonded, whiskey stored in the Hammon ddistillery, which for over a year has not operated, was partly revealed yesterday by the arrest of Walter Haag, 19. Many more arrests are expected by a large force of government agents and revenue men. There probably is $25,000,000 of whiskey held in the storage vaults. Federal officers will not give out the exact amount stolen. The nut trees of the globe, it is calculated, could provide food all the year round for the population of the globe. When you get up in the morning do you forget breakfast in your hastening to your work? If you do, we predict a striking business success for you.
