According to an exchange Belvidere is afraid that

The Saloon a Drain on the
own
Town

Washington, Illinois has shown unusual growth
in its business activities under noicense regime and
the result OF the recent vote there the license ques
ton is evidence that the citizens are not going to take
any risks towards checking this prosperity by voting
for the return Of the saloons.
The management of the big canning factory To-
Gated there let it be known that of the determining
factors in selecting Washington for site was because
it is saloonless town.
Mr.. Richard Dickinson one of the firm of the
factory referred to- published letter addressed to the
voters of Washington at the time of the campaign
there which is worthy careful reading, coming as it
does from successful business man. He says:

Mrs. Ella Burleson entertained a

stuff was found by the state dairy
inspector in a city of Iowa and tho
state dairy commissioner ordered
prosecution of the dealer for selling

orders for prosecution, whereupon
the dealer promptly pleaded guilty
and paid fine.

taken to put stop to the use OF
