A NEW WRINKLE
A national syndicate of bootleggers has a new
wrinkle, according to a writer in a recent Collieis,^ \\no
heads his article, “Diipping Dry ..Dallas/’ The Texas
town has been very wet, what with their chock beet,
g:n and easy booze from the Dull’ ports, but every
body in town has been satisfied, including the police
and the newspapers.
One man had a fashionable “pressing’ parlor in
the heart of the city where he had been running a swell
bootlegging joint for six years, the police knew it,
everybody" knew it. They would raid him now and
then to make a showing but never found the evidence,
and this guy was waxing exceeding fat in the bankroll.
Then the nan dropped 1 from Chicago. He said
he represented a syndicate mat would furnish Dallas
better booze at cheaper prices and he told the tailor ;
that unless he dug up $250 ro join the new organization
and $50 a month his place would be closed the next;
Saturday. He said it went for every bootlegger in town j
who didn’t join.
The tailor refused and on the following Saturday |
two policemen appeared with a search warrant and
just as tho they had been furnished with a blue print
of the premises, walked right to the sliding panel in
the rear of the “pressery”, tore down a wall, found j
the back office equiped with signal lights, found a com
fortable bar, and a long underground tunnel leading
under the fashionable garage on Main Street, The
“tailor” is out of busiess and Dallas is awaiting the next
move of the Chicago bootleggers.
They say the farmers have many automobiles.
Well there's a lot of them that haven’t even a
smell of gasoline. They scramble around on hard acres
and when their wheat is ready for market the railroad
takes some, the manager of the elevators take a whack
and the boys down on the stock exchange rub their
soft hands and say, “Well Reuben is due again. Let’s
get busy.”
From the number of fiddles which are claimed to
have been made by him, it appears that Signor Strad
ivarus was the first exponent of mass production.
They should take editorial writers out and shoot
them one by one for a week. That would give others
a chance to live and still save the country for Dem
ocracy.

The Seward high school has or
jganized a “Booster Club” and yes
terday two representatives, a boy
and a girl, were elected from each
of the various classes.
The aim of the club is two-fold,
'it is reported. The first purpose is
to enable the students of the Sew
lard high to take a part in the gov
ernment of the school; really a
'form of student government. The
second is to boost the various acti
vities that the school takes part in.
It was outlined that declamatory
and oratorical contests would pro
bably be held this term and that
the club w'ould strive to arouse the
enthusiasm of the towns people to
attend these exercises.
Physical culture will also be
boosted but. as it was pointed out,
athletics does not need very much
impetus to make the people turn
out for a basketball game, whereas
for a debate the turnout would pro
bably number less than 10 people.
The following are the official
representatives of the Seward High
school classes: Freshmen—June
Geyer and Edwin Sandbeck; So
phomores—Clarence Hahle and Ly
dia Fessoff; Juniors—Raginald
Beaudreau and Katherine Horton;
Seniors—Geraldine Laughlin and
Otto Sandbeck.
