lWetv and anrYo statua.

"Wet" and cory" status.
How wet and dry Missouri was
on July 1, 1914, can be CLEANED from
bulletin dealing with this question
given publicity by the bureau of labor
statistics through Commissioner J. I.
Fitzpatrick, which states that out of
12,138 special tax payers here to I'm
Gle Sam 8,S43 are retail liquor deal
ers. In this respect Missouri ranks
seventh, having more such dealers
than Illinois, which includes Chicago,
but less than California, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
The "wettest" portion of Missouri is
the eastern half, which is known as
the First internal revenue district,
containing such GASES as st. Louis,
Hannibal, Cape Girardeau, Hermann,
Washington, Charlottesville, New Mad
rid, st. Charles and two or three other
cities, there being 5,646 saloons, retail
liquor dealers and lid" clubs In this
half. The western district, which is
the Sixth district, has 3,197 saloons,
dramshops and buffets, to be found in
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Joplin, Sc
dalia, Springfield, Jefferson City and
three or four other cities. Included in
these figures are all other organiza-
tions such as the Moose, Elks, Eagles,
Owls, the fashionable clubs of the
larger cities, also lid lifting social
organizations which have bars and
dispense liquors. Just how many of
these organizations were put out of
business by the supreme court deci.
sion of month ago requiring all
clubs with buffets to take out state
dramshop license will not be known
until next July.
According to the Information, there
are 46 breweries running in full blast
which in the fiscal year of 1914
turned out 4,152,160 barrels of beer
worth approximately $29, 100000. While
long on breweries, Missouri is short
on distilleries, there being only 81
registered plants and 20 in actual ope-
ration last July, "a of these distilling
from grain and seven from fruit.
On July 1, 1918, there were "a reg
| istered distillers in the state, indicat-
ing a decrease of three in the course
of year There was also a falling
off in the number of retail liquor deal
ers, there being 1851 in Missouri in
the summer of 1918, which was 11S
more than in the summer of 1914.
These liquor figures do not include
any "moonshine," soft and easy"
blind tigers" or "bootlegging" re-
sorts where beer and whisky are sold
by the gallon, quart, pint or drink.

Evans said:
In no department of the Missouri
