ciuIn. LIN the Ghost.

Glidden Graphic: Up to few weeks
ago the saloon men of some Iowa
cities, particularly Davenport, have
been unable or unwilling to regard
the new prohibition law seriously. 1t
is said that they have felt that some
way would be found before January 1
to prevent the law from going into
operation, and they have therefore
gone right ahead with their business
as though nothing would happen with
the breaking in OF 1916. But the past
few weeks have seen change in the
attitude of Davenport saloonkeepers.
They now realize the seriousness of
the situation. and to reduce their
stock are advertising bargains in all
kinds of liquor. Seems like all Iowa
is getting ready to be good and dry
after January 1.

NEW YORK, Oct. There was no
