The Ocala Star states that it will
make no more contracts for liquor adj
vertising, although it does so at a
great loss. That's only too true. The
Sun could be $4,000 a year richer if
it accepted this business. We often
wonder how many avowed prohibition
lists would sacrifice $4,000 year for
principle ?-Clearwater Sun.
We don't expect to lose $1,000, but
we will certainly lose half that
amount, and as much more as we
could make by working up the bust
ness.

himself from burden that would else
