For example, French fried po-

They have a golden brown crust
and are mealy white inside.

Sioux City, Dec. 6.-That the major
ity of the cigar dealers in this city
will unite in open war against the
churches is the assertion Of several Of
the most prominent men in the bust
ness. Their first step will be injunc-
ton proceedings against any churches
that attempt to operate raffles of any
kind in their various bazaars during
the holidays. All such games Of chance
will be attacked without delay, say
several dealers.
Altho the men have taken no definite
action of any kind as yet probably be-
cause none OF the city churches thus
far have put on any raffles. it is gem
orally talked among the dealers. and
they are ready to put up money for a
fight.
"They killed the best of our bust
ness in taking out the slot machines"
is their explanation Of why.
Joe Marshall, OF Marshall Bros.

dealers would unite in action against
church raffles or other money raising
methods offering any element of
chance. NO matter what the church
is. it's strength or creed, we will GER
