CHAs. sTABLER CLOSES SALOON.

CHAS. STABLER CLOSES SALOON
Yesterday, Friday, Buffalo Gap be-
came dry town, when Chas. Staber
who has conducted saloon for several
years moved out his stock of liquors and
changed his place to soft drink parlor
The closing was voluntary on the part Of
Mr. Stabler as he thought it better
plan than that of defending the legality
of his license in probably long drawn
out costly court proceeding, which would
amount to more than the total profits of
the business for an entire year. Rev. L.
p. Johnson of the Baptist church, has
been conducting the fight on Mr.. Stab
Ter, which has been a very unpopular
one, as the sentiment of the town and
community is largely in favor of Ii
censed saloon in preference to bootleg
ging joints and liquor express shipments
also on account of the fact that he has
conducted the business in a law abiding
manner.
Under the license plan of the past
years there has been less drunkenness in
Buffalo Gap than many towns close by
which had no saloons. The Gazette
questions the wisdom Of the act in max.
ing this town dry at this time, when
Hot Springs wet town is only fifty
minutes auto time distant, and that could
be improved some if party got real
dry, also the fact that liquor shipments
can come in by freight and express. 1t
merely means that just as much intoxi-
eating liquor will be used in the town as
ever and nobody here will realize an
entitled revenue from its consumption.

NOT only Is the state Fair an eX-
cellent opportunity for the exhibition
of farm products, but 1t is also the
proper place to select breeding stock,
| TO learn where choice varieties of
farm crops are produced. and to get
acquainted with other farmers of the
state who are engaged In general ag-
ricultural uplift. Recently the editor
of a Northwestern farm paper was
asked: ''ls the State Fair q good
place to select breeding stock2" The
editors reply is significant:
Il should say that the State Fair or
any fair is a good place to go and Sc
lect breeding stock. II is a good pol
icy to be very careful and not buy ami
mails that have been pampered or
overfed, but what you can see In that
short time 1t would take days and
much money to see You can also
make comparisons between animals
belonging to different Breeders. To
day fair exhibitors are taking along
some stock for sale purposes at the
fair, and these are usually in Just
breeding condition. Breeders of note
are reliable and II you like individ-
uals seen at the fair they will select
animals Of the same breeding and in
dividuality from the herd at home"
