Seward Drug Co. . IIMITIHSTS t i 1 DEMAND RESIGNATION OF FESS, BECAUSE OF STAND t i WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2. i (A5)—Three anti-Prohibitionists in - the House called for Senator Fess 5 to resign as chairman of the Re t publican National Committee be - cause of his newly expressed stand r for the 18th Amendment. Representative Britten of Illinois - led the attack upon the Ohioan in a formal statement demanding that he get out as their party leader or ; resign from the directorship of the Anti-Saloon League and refrain from being its spokesman. Representatives La Guardia of New York and Schafer of Wiscon sin picked up the war cry aroused by the Fess reply to James W. Wadsworth, New York, that^I shall use my influence to prevent the I party from comitting a fatal blun I der in asking for repeal of the 18th I Amendment.” While Fess has agreed to stay on I until the June convention he would j ! willingly step out next month. I ! However, the anti-prohibition at- ! 1 tack seems to have forestalled any j j change at this time. I Patrick Gildea, attorney, aged 50. | died suddenly at Ketchikan recent . ly at his home from heart disease. | The news of his death spread | quickly about the city. He was j about town as usual meeting j friends and his death came as a j distinct shock, says the Chronicle. FACULTY ASSUMES CHARGE NEW HAVEN, Dec. 2.

Pete Sather For Charter or Hire » WHEN WINTER COMES IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremend ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and other supplies to carry you through the long winter? Not very likely! But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that played all summer without a thought of the cold days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing famine, months before spring comes around again? Certainly not! When wintry winds are blowing their coldest, and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies against the barrenness of winter has gone forever. It has passed when America ceased to be a lot o£ scattered communities, and became a nation united by swift line of transportation. As you read the advertisements telling you just what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order, remember that here are the inexhautible store rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished forever the anxieties that went with the snows of yesteryear. j % m m
