All former monthly reports of
sales of liquor by pharmacists dwin-
die into insignifcance as compared
to the last report of an Audubon
druggist. From one prescription
case there are reported to the county
auditor 1872 sales for the month Of
September. Presuming the sales
to average pint each, we have a
total of I4I gallons, or about 81
wine barrels, an expense to the con-
sumers of 1904. Surprising, further,
that this was purchased for "medic-
inal purposes" as the applicants all
state, it is quite libel on the COM
munity, in that it would indicate
that the people were invalids and
incompetents. For medicinal pur-
poses that amount of liquor would
answer the requirements of the nine
ty-nine counties of Iowa for twelve
month.

mud to their knees, and stand uneasi-
ly. Last Saturday good many
farmers hitched their teams to the
west side of the park fence, in conse-
quence of which it now presents a
very dilapidated appearance. AS
suggested above, the sides of Broad
way should be improved, and that
Immediately, so that the hitching
posts may be used for the purpose
intended. A few loads Of cobble
stone would be the most efficient,
