GIL FIELD BUSINESS.
iTHE REGENT TRADE excursion of
" Brownwood business men into the
oil territory north of here should be
followed up by a carefully planned
campaign to "sell" Brownwood to the
i
oil fields. The trade excursion served
to Introduqe Brownwood to thejpeople
in the oil territory who did not already
know this city but the introduction
must be followed by consistent efforts
to secure the trade of the territory
visited.
Advertising is one of the greatest
salesmen in the world but it can not
e effective unless the goods back it
up. Brownwood has the goods and by
judicious effort can deliver them in
large quantities to the people of the
Pioneer Rising Star and Gross Plains
section. Small parties of Brownwood
business men should visit thatiisection
every week and continue the task of
definitely establishing this citj- as the
hub of the oil territory. Such trips
will cost time and a little money but
they will earn handsome dividends in
increased trade and in increased citi-
. renshlp. '
THE DROUTH.
TY ALL ODDS this is the dryest
drouth Brownwood has ever cx
perlenced. The total rainfallfor the
past twelve months is the lightest of
1
. which there is any local record not
even excepting the very dry years of
1917 and 1893. -
But just one good soaking rain.
within a month or six weeks a rain
that will thoroughly soak the ground
and put some water in the tanks o!
- the fanners and livestock men will
wipe out the drouth and make it pos-
sible to raise the biggest cotton crop
in the history of the county. Such a
rain may not come of course but the
fact that it may come is encouraging.

SPY SYSTEM AND TRICKS OF
RUM RUNNERS DEFY POLICE
GEORGIA LTQl'Olt S.MUGGLEHS
OUTWIT LAW OFFICERS WHO
ACT CAUTIOUSLY.
By DOUGLAS G. TINSLEY
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
SAVANNAH Ga. March 22. The es-
pionage system of the rum smugglers
who run in huge quantities of liquor
along the Georgia coast from the Brit-
ish West Indies is declared to eoual
in perfection that of the old Russian
Empire. .
At least this is the view taken of!
the matter by State and county agents
who have essayed at times to aid thei
ederal prohibition enforcement agents'
In an c:ort to break up the illicit whis-
key traffic of the smugglers.
According to State officers the
"heathen Chinee" whose ways are fa-
bled to be "dark" and his tricks
"vain" has nothing on the Georgia
liquor runners who so far have man-
aged to keepa length ahead of the- of-
ficers in pursuing the favor of fate in
connection with the liquor business.
"They know every minute where ev-
ery officer is" is the way Chief Chap-
man of the Chatham County Police
expressed it "and if they don't know
I they hatch up a trick to get him spme-
where else than where they want to

has often found himself run ragged by
the liquor spies when the unloading of
a cargo with which it was feared he
would interfere was on tan. according-

I
"They must have harrels of money
coming in from the trade" he said
"because 1 know it must cost them
enormous sums to maintain the spy
system they do. "Why they are every-
where. Whenever they get ready to
unload a big cargo of liquor they
phone in and say there is a big mur-
der robbery or other desperate crime
going on needing the attention of a
;large number of officers. Of course-
we don't know; it may be so and we
have to investigate.
"Often when we -get to the location
given all is as peaceful as heaven.
Later we learn thatbout that time a
big liquor cargo was Iieing unloaded
In the opposite direction to that we
were in. It is impossible to brand
these bogus calls as fakes Until inves-
tigated. The names of some of the
people giving them always 'by hear-
say' would surpriss you."
Police Chief Fooled.
Neither the Chief of Police nor
Sheriff Dixon of Chatham county have
been immune from such tricks of the
smugglers.. Not long ago according
to the sheriff the chief of police phon-
ed him that he had a positive tip that
a large automobile of liquor could be.
caught at a certain place at a certain
time. This tip. came from what he
considered reliable sources. Actlne
on it the sheriff took nearly all his;
available men the police chief nearly
all his and they rang in a large num-
ber of Federal agents. Arriving at the
place designated they threw a cordon
around the entire section patrolled.

home without a single automobile
having turned up. Next morning ther

learned that while there a ship un-
loaded several thousand cases of stan-
dard whiskies and liquors at one of the
wharves in Savannah.
One of the humorous features of the
illicit liquor trade is the "profession-
al" jealously existingbetveeh the li-
quor runners and the "little fellow"
who distills liis own in the Chatham
county swamps and retails it around
himself or through personal agents.
According to the State and county
'officers the
rum runners" violently
resent the activities of the moonshiner
and never lose an opportunity to tip
off the officers to the location of a still
in the swamps Most of these tips are
good the officers say and when a raid
is made the still is usually found ex-
actly where it was reported.
Resent Moonshiners' "Work.
This jealousy they believe arises
from the fact that the overhead ex-
penses of operation being so much leps
for the moonshiner on account of the
Small scale on which he operates as
compared with the runners the dis-
tiller can undersell the liquor runner
in the retail market liquor of. the corn
variety being way under in selling
price the highclass stuff that the smug-
gler handles.
Under the Georgia law State and
county officers are almost powerless
when it comes to enforcing the pro-
hibition statute. They state that there
is no provision"' in the Georgia law for
searching premises or property for
liquor. This results in their Inability
to sparch an automobile for liquor un-
less they are armed with search war
rants specifying the property to be
searched andvwhat they expect to find..
Such a law they state makes it easy
for the rum runner to send his liquor
inland through the State without fear
of molestation from State officers who
being under heavy bonds art afraid
to take a chance.
Such a condition county officers say.
has led to such cocl;suresnes3 on the-
part of rum runners that they Avill

of the machine and stock in Atlanta or

if it is captured.

BOOTLEGGING LIKE LINGERING
DISEASE ASSERTS GIRL MAYOR
By William J. Huske !
International News Service Staff-
Correspondent. 'FAIRPORT Ohio .March 22. "Boot-
legging" said Dr. Amy A. Kaukonen
Fairport's pretty girl Mayor to the
International News Service today "is
like a long lingering disease. When
you think you have it cured and done
for it rears up its head like the dragon
in the legend of St. George and talces
another form and a fresh hold. It's
harder to eradicate than the itch. This
country is a hotbed of bootleggers and
whenever you knock one on the head
another head is theie to take the last
one's place.
"Many a man gets up in prayer meet-
ing and yells 'Down with booze!' then
ten minutes later sneaks up a back
alley to some disreputable resort and
pours down his hypocritical throat
some bootlegger's decoction that
would make a cigar-store Indian do a
war dance. ' I know the superinten-
dent of a Sunday school that is al-
ways rooting for prohibition and yet
rents his property to the proprietor
of a blind tiger.
Have Home Brew on Brain.
"The fact that liquor is hard to get
seems to make.it more desirable. Peo-
ple who seldom tasted booze when .he
country w:as wet now seem to have
'home brew' on tho brain. They for-
got more recipes for hootch every 15
minutes than an ex-barkeeper could
remember if he lived to be as old as
Methuselah. Instead of going in for
outdoor exercise and sunshine many
'tired business men' are going in for
indoor exercise and 'moonshine.'"
Mayor Kaukonen is also a physician.
She graduated from the Woman's Med-
ical College of Philadelphia wi'h high
honors and is the youngest graduate
of that institution. She is a petitite
blonde and cheerfully admitted her 25
years. However the correspondent
was gallant enough to say ihat she
didn't show her years.
She was elected last fall over a can-
didate who had strong leaking from
all classes and her battle cry was
"Clean out the bootleggers!" She has
named an entirely new police . force
and other subordinates and is receiv-
ing she says the hearty support ot
the council elected with her.
Congratulated by President.
Her election she is the only woman
mayor of a town having the city form
ot government in Ohio and perhaps in
the United States brought forth hun-
dreds of congratulatory letters and
telegrams and one. which she treas-
ures most highlv is fnm President
Harding -and rcad;: "lliglwU respect
and congratulations to Amy Kaukonen
the first woman to hend the municipal
government of her home city."
She says that she will personally
conduct all raids and will analyze in
her own laboratory whatever liquor
is seized.
Taste is a matter of
tobacco quality
We state it. as our honest
belief that the tobaccos used
in Chesterfield are of finer "
quality (and hence of better
taste) than in any other
cigarette at the price.

"I'm not a feminist" she said in
explaining her political affiliations. "I
have no platform save the promise of
strict law enforcement economy and
a square deal to all regardless of sex
race or political affiliations."
Her strongest supporters are said to
be the children. Fairport boasts more
children than any town of its size in
the United States and both as a phy
sician and executive Dr. Kaukonen
take a deep interest in their -welfare.
Her election has brought her many
invitations to speak ami she will leave
soon for an extended tour in the in
terest of law enforcement.
There's a Little Humor.
"There's little humor In this mat-
ter though it's generally pretty grim
business' she concluded. "Last week
two men entered my office. Immedi-
ately one fell on the floor in violent
convulsions. The other man turned to
me and said excitedly 'For God's sake
write out a whiskey prescription! It's
the only thing that seems to bring my
poor brother Pete out of these fits.
" 'I never write prescriptions tor
whisTtey' I replied.
"At once the man on the floor stop-
ped jerking his arms and. kicking his
legs. He rose from the floor" and re-
marked with a grin:
' " 'If there's no whiskey coming I
reckon the fit is over.' "
