Bartenders' Local, but a number OF
newspaper men and others were m
vited guests.
Mr.. Flore is making a tour OF the
Southwestern cities, meeting the
members, not because they have not
made advances in recent years, but
to eliminate the few "undesirbles"
that remain in the ranks. While
here, Ny. Flore, WHO Is also an Elk

he met q number OF the officials OF
the city and county and many busl-
ness men. At the luncheon he made
a speech that tended to show the
higher standards that has been reach
ed throughout the country by the
men who tend bar and he highly COM
plimented the local membership, de-
c!aring That they were men OF lime
morals and good, law abiding clti-
zens. The dives of the country, which,
ere being fast obliterated, are largely
responsible, he said, for the existence
of the anti-saloon sentiment. Mr..
Flore made most favorable impress
sion here and he said that he was
greatly impressed with Arkansas land
