Maupin Bootleggers Nabbed
and Given Merited Sentences
Federal end State Officers Round
Up Alleged Bootleggers Two
Taken In Raid
Federal and iUt prohibition of
ficer! paid Muupln a short visit
Tuesday evening nd when they re
tumtd to The Dalles had two alleged
bootleggers In tow. Several other
Illicit dealers in contraband booze
had a feur thrown into them, and
so bad wtt, it that they hurriedly
cleaned up their premises of liquor
In order to forestall finding any
such In their premises.
For some time pant two young
fellows, posing as common work
men, have frequented one of the
places raided. They were not of a
, very Inquiring mind but evidently
knew their onion . Tuesday they
succeeded In purchasing a couple of
bottles of moonshine, giving mark
ed money in exchange. That even
ing, without any noisy demonstra
tion officers invaded a certain place,
arrested two men, took the evidenre
and with all that hud been gathered
wended their way to the county
seat
This move Is one that should have
been taken years ago. Maupin ha
had the distinction (whether enjoy
ed or not we are not saying) of be
ing one place where an appetite for
liquor could be satisfied at any old
time. Bootleggers have thrived
here. moonnhiners have been numer
ous in this vicinity, and they have
not had to seek far for agent; to
handle their product. Only a short
time afro a school boy was appre
hended at a Tygh Valley dance, his
stock conficated and handed a fine
ami a short tern In Jail. The lad
is the son of a law abiding father
and had, prior to his arre t, enjoyed
a certain popularity among the
younger set.
It is a common saying that
dances, both here and at neighbor
ing places, were prolific of profit
to bootleggers. At any rate they
have flocked to ad such affairs
hereabout", and the consequence hns
been that men, and even young
boys, have been seen in a drunken
condition, that being the result of
the Illicit dealers' activities.
Gambling has been an open game
In Maupin for many moons. There
are men who delight in the thrill
of a poker game, they play for the
excitement, not for possible gain.
There are others who indulge In tho
gambling business for what they
may win. Small games, in which
young fellows "sit in" have .been
common, and there have been many
poker parties at which much money
has changed hands. All that has
Enrollment In Clubs
Asfced At This Time
Various Projects Waiting Enroll
ment Good Year's Work !
Planned by Club Leader
Mr. D. L. .Rutherford makes a
plea for membership in the various
4-H club projects. In a communi
cation to The Times that lady en
umerates tho various divisions and
asks that prospective mcmbem got
busy and sign up for the work. Mrs.
Rutherford outlines the work and
gives some excellent advice relative
to what members should do to ac
complish the best reUlts. She says:
Wasco county will offer the fol
lowing projects In club work:
Pig, Sheep, Calf, Chickens, Tur.
keys, Ducks, Corty Pottoes, Can
ning, Cookery, Camp Sewing, Glrle
Sewing, Bachelor Sewing, Home
Making. The projects are divided
under the following heads:
Live Stock, Poultry,-Crops, Gar
den, Home Economics. Sewing
Hand Work.
The standard enrollment blanks
are In the hands of Mr. DeVoc, of
whom they may be obtained. Pros
pective members are asked to 'con
sult their parents and sign up for
club work now. It is mistake for
beginners to carry more than one
project In Home' Economics, and
children under 14 yearu of age
should not' try to carry more than
two.
Be sure about the stock clubs be
fore signing. It is a disappointment
hud a tendency to five Mupin a
hard name. The recent raid will
have a tendency to clarify the moral
atmosphere of our town. And it
is high time such a movo was made.
Maupin has a chance to grow.
There is a poa ibility of a great in
crease In urban population as soon
us the Clear lake dam is completed
and a colonization scheme, already
perfected, put into force. Then
people will want to come this way.
but with a reputation of being a
wide open town parents will hesi
tate in bringing their, children here,
being afruid that sinister influences
might tend to their corruption.
People staking new locutions are
usually solieitious of the character
of the places in which they would
live. They make note of schools,
churches, fraternal order.: and so
ciety in general, and when they
learn that the moral atmosphere is
tainted with gambling, boo to -jnd
general laxity they are minded to
Keek places where conditions are
wholcxume and where temptation is
not so prevalent.
The Times hns kept quiet since
it present proprietors have resided
a Maupin. We have overlooked
law-breaking, not through fear of
-etaliution on the part of those who
might have been mentioned, but
rather because it has been of a mind
to keep dark tho real condition,
not wishing to broadcast the real
status of thingu.
The Time- is proud of Maupin.
The town contains some of the best
people on earth, and in order to
protect tbui the paper has refrain
ed from publishing just what the
town', reputation has been. From
this time forward law violators -will
I be given their just dues as we be
' lieve the better element of our
I cltenry is more entitled to protec
tion than are those who wilfully and
j deliberately break the luws.
J. N. (Shorty) Miller and Nick
. Karolus, the two men arrested for
selling booze, were taken before
' Justice Meredith at The Dalles. Thnt
arbiter of the law sentenced Nick to
. pny a fine of $250.00 and to spend
30 days at the hotel do Sexton,
j Shorty was given a harder jolt, he
; being handed a $500.00 fine arid will
remain In idlene s in the county
bnstile for the coming six months.
The court evidently took into con
sideration the fact the Miller had
been conducting gambling games at
! the pool hall, ns well as dealing in
contraband liquor.
Mnrc Antony was rijrht when he
l snicl "the evil thnt men do lives after
j them," and in this ca e it seems that
the evil done carried along in life.
to the leaders for members to drop
uut.
It is planned to have all the Home
Sconomics projects (except canning)
finished by the cloBe of the school
term.
The Hand-work Sewing may bo
carried by both Joys and girls. It
is suggested thnt children 12 years
or under teke hand-work sewing in
preference to girln sewing or bache
lors sewing. We are glad to an
nounce that hand-work may now be
curried more than ope year.
We are assured of a Camp Cook
ery lender this year. We suggest
the Home Cooking class of 1928
ajrain enroll in Division I Cookery.
We should have at lea t three year's
work In this division before taking
tho higher divisions of this project.
Also we hope to seo many new
members enroll in the work. As
Mrs. Semmer. is unable to lend the
club this year the club will bo under
the leadership of Beth Rutherford,
who has completed four years work
In club cooking.
The loaders in club work during
1828 are urged, if possible, to carry
on the work during tho present
year. '

Art Hat the Flu
Dear Chuck:
I want to give you a little inside
information on the flu. The various
ways in which it affected different
students, remedies, and the after
effects. One of the first to leave
:s was Ivan, some three weeks ago.
One day Ivan's nose turned blue and
we didn't see him for over a week.
Scarcely had he returned when
Nova left us. '
The disea e hit Richard hard, too.
It seems that he first became lame
yid the next report he had the flu
md that it had settled in his stom
ach. He reports that Sloan's
iniment and Cod Liver Oil' put him
)n Easy street.
Clarence came back to u:, after
leveral days' absence. The flu left
him so weak that he couldnt shave.'
Clarence had beautiful red whisker:,
too.
The others we missed were Merle,
rlene, Avis, my elf and Orville.
t seems that Orville couldn't be
satisfied with ordinary flu like the
rest of us he had tonsilitis. The
inly thing that saved his life waa a
Hiart of Oppidildoch, that Estel
m-cscribed for him. v , -
. We are glad to have the bunch

tonsils. The little lady had been
looking forward to the operation with
pleasure, evidently imagining that
it would be something entirely dif
