tions instituted. Someone who evil
IDENTIFY desired to cause trouble told

hurled at him. Mr.. Arcorn was seized

noticeable than the increase in the
amount of tea purchased when the

three months to 5000 pounds for the
same period. superintendent Baxter
asked the state board of purchase and
supplies to purchase $205.45 worth of
intoxcants for the three months end
ing December 81. The estimate in
cluded three kinds of brandies, six
kinds of wine, two brands of whisky
and one of rum AS the estimate for
the preceding three months called for
only four and one-half gallons of al
cohol, some members of the state

mixed drinks on the ground that
Christmas cheer and Thanksgiving can
go by without so much of the fine
French brandies. The contract for
$205.4J worth of the "ohbe joyful" was
awarded by the state board to Farrens
