Mr. and Mrs. James Roy are here
on a visit to friends. They are locat
ed at Evergreen, Ala.
The Connecticut Citizen sent the
following question: "Do you favor
the ratification of the Federal Pro
bition Amendment?" (o prominent
Grange members In all parts of the
State. Seventy replies were received.
67 yes, one blank and two noes.
The. brewers of the country are
consuming millions of bushels of rice
and barley that ought to be put to
some good purpose. The recent sen
atorial election In Wisconsin showed
the attitude of men whose influence
made Milwaukee famous. Why have
the liquor traffic any longer.
Since Sir Frederick Smith's visit
to America he has written a book
in which he comments on the dryness
over here. He says no one spoke of
it as a grievance to him that 'the
people have adapted themselves
abstinence In a surprising way.
