Granite Falls Tribune: The mas
querade at the opera house last
Wednesday night was a disgraceful
affair from several standpoints, and
one Of them was the booze that some

ed to use. Swearing and fighting

grace like that needs cutting out.

per annum in Europe, they can live
in great style and maintain cha
teau with six automobiles. private
chauffeurs, small army of maids,
buffers, lackeys, stablemen and serv-
ants and yacht. That's why rich
Americans live in Europe and when
they return to America it is gener-
ally for the purpose Of smuggling in
twenty or thirty trunkfuls Of for
eign goods. including articles Of
household and personal adornment
under the guise of declaration that
they are private property" and
