 The proceeding is taken under sec- l tion 992 and 993 of the revised statutes the first named statute relating to for l cible entry and detainer and the latter to the form of the procedure.

"WHAT No-LIcENsE MEANS TO

Every farmer has a right to know

fc through No-License would mean to

full. Both reason and experience show
the contrary IL is not a question of
HOW MUCH FARM PRODUCE the
liquor trade buys so much as the rela-
tive profit and loss to the farmer him
self. The farmers sell to the brew
ers and distillers only about three per
cent. of their farm products. But for
every three dollars the farmer gets from
the liquor business, he and his cus-
toners spend one hundred dollars for
intoxicating liquor. If the saloons were
out of the way "A very much larger
part of that 500 would go to the farm
er. The farmer is robbed every day
by the diminished buying power of his
proper customers, who are impover-
ished through drink.
Every time a Ten Dollar bill goes
to the saloon instead of to the mer-
chant the farmer and wage earners
are getting about Four (D Dollars less
than IL the money went into proper
business channels.
There are about 100, 600 600 of these
ten dollar bills that go into the saloons

RED Bill' a notorious crook made his
escape from the Cook County Jail early

terms in prison in different parts Of
the country, for forgery. burglary and
similar crimes. When last seen he was
purchasing a ticket for New York"
If word should be received here that
he was likely to stop off in Wilmington.
where would our police officers look for
him? Would they watch the drygoods
stores, the clothing stores. the churches,
the " NJ. G. AS, the industrial plants,
or the banking Institutions and expect
to find him? No. They would keep
their eye on the low dens and the sa-
looms. and ten to one. the police would
