Mr.. Frederick Roehl has been ap-
pointed local agent for the American
Finance and investment Co., of New
Orleans, capitalized at $500,000. Some
of the stock of the company is to be
placed on the market in order to ex-
tend and develop>-it business. The
wide acquaintance of Mr.. Roehl among
the businessmen of the parish and his
long association with the Covington
Grocery and Grain Co., makes him a
valuable agent for the company at
this point, and he should find little diff
ficulty in disposing OF the stock.
Mr.. Roehl is quite enthusiastic over
the opportunity offered by this stock
for a safe and profitable investment,
and will be glad to talk the matter
over with any one interested in good
paying proposition. He may be found
at the office of the Covington Grocery
and Grain Company.

A few years ago prohibition
would have been an impossible
issue in Missouri. Now it seems
probable that the people of the
state will vote on the question of
statewide prohibition at the next
election and that the measure
will carry. Why has come about
this change of feeling? Some say
it is due to the growing moral
sentiment of the peoble, some to
the activity of women, some to
the work of ministers, but really
it seems to be due to the short
sighted, brutal and inhuman pol
icy of the big breweries. Just on
the question of liquor or no liqu-
or the state would remain wet. 1t
is generally believed that man
should have the right to take a
drink if he wants it. But the
liquor interests are too PERM
cious in politics and many people
now think prohibition the only
means Of getting away from
brewery domination. This is
not a party measure. 1t is
merely a move against corrupt
bossism.
