Editors Note: We publish the
above at the instance of our Prescott
ing Attorney for the information of
those DESTROYS to know the law, as
touching matters pertaining to the
sale of liquors under our recently
adopted Local Option Law.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-08-13

intoxicating liquors into local option
county violation of the Act?
In the case of State VS.. Rosenber-
ger, reported in volume 212 Mo. at
page 64S, our Supreme Court stated
that sale under such a shipment is
made at the shipping point and that
it does not violate the Act TO make
that sort of sale from without the
county.
Sikh: Can a person lawfully keep
or store intoxicating liquors for an
other?
Sec. 1927 of the Revised Statutes of
Mo-, 1909, is as follows: mo person
shall keep, store or deliver for or to
another person, in any county that has
adopted or may hereafter adopt the
Local Option Law, any intoxicating
liquors of any kind whatsoever"
This covers the six main questions
asked this office.
