MARCH A DRY MONTH.
Druggists Are Recording Fewer
Sales Each Month.

Probate Judge Wood had fewer liquor
sales reported to aim for March than for
February. March's total was ,5O7 pack

recorded.
The sales which the drug gists put
down for March were:

The reason for the decrease in sales
may be because of the increase in joints
and so-called clubs. The officers of the
law seem 10 be the last in finding out
