SUGGESTS CONFERENCE

Mr.. Miller's successful motion fol-
lowed an effort made by l.. l.. Eeyser
OF Roanoke, to have the association sp-
point committee OF five to confer with
the Anti-Saloon League OF Virginia in
dcvising a bill which would save drug
gists from the necessity OF handling
liquor in their stock. Mr.. keyser IN :
vors tho sale by druggists Of intoxt-
cants. provided proper restrictions are
placed around the sale. Mr.. Miller. in
opposing this motion, said that it would
place the association in the position of
predicting that the State would vote
for prohibition on September 30.
Mr. Miiers motion is more in the
nature Of u safeguard against the flu
ture than an action prcdicatcd on the
assumption that wide prohibi-
ton will be supported at the polls
No effort was made to place tho as
sociation on record as to its position
on Statewide prohibition or local OPP

Molly, she was the daughter of old
Abs Deering, the ~stock-raiser, who
left her a fortune In cattle. Acacia
was just beginning to get OF the map
in them days. 1t was a little frontier
settlement, and there was a pretty
rough set OF gamblers and miners and
cattle rustlers who made II their head
quarters.
Jim Burnett wasn't a bad fellow, as
/ was saying, but he was wild. He
punched cattle for Abe Deering, and
most of his money went into the gam
bling bells. But that vas before he
met Molly, who'd just come back from
school In the East. Jim and Molly
was crazy about each other the minute
they saw each other, and II wasn't
long before they were engaged. Abe
didn't like Molly to marry a cattle
puncher, but he couldn't stand against
Molly. / guess nobody could, then OF
now.
We'll, they were 10 be married In a
