Our contemporary says:-f'The high license
law was meant rs a stab at the Germans OF
the state" II this means anything it means
that the Germans are particularly the whisky
guzzlers Of the state, and consequently par
ticularly sensitive to any regulation of the
LIQUOR traffic. We fail to see any great COM
pliment to the Germans In such an assertion
as that.

from the old @Hill" will perhaps interest

hood is quiet and prosperous. 80. Wheat Is
