VILLA PUTS ON LID.

Except Juarez.
Santa Anna, Jalisco, Mexico.-Gen.
Villa issued an executive order proRib-
iting the sale of all liquor in his terri
tory with the exception of Juarez.
This exception is made on account of
the number of Americans who come
over the border from Ell Paso on Sun
days, when the saloons are closed on
the American side
Villa says he will punish with death
any one caught drinking or selling
liquor.
This action is said to have been
taken by Villa as result of reports
which have been made to him as to
the splendid effects of prohibition upon
Russian soldiers.

the business men no uneasiness,
because what are known as the
war order lines have in so many
plants already reached the fullest
24-hour output and a further in
crease is hardly possible. 1t is
rare for businesses to remain at

usually a falling off even though
the falling off may be slight.
