dire need of increasing rather than OF
decreasing the revenue at thar moment.
But the effects have been So amazingly
beneficial that IL is doubtful IL the
general sale OF vodka VIII ever be re
sumed, ever after the war.
In England an act Of parliament will
probably Ice necessary, and the liquor
interests are so vast and so powerful
that the passage OF such at act will
be fought tooth and nail. There Is an
other way, and Lord Kitchener Is just
Will by no other means. This IL TO
declare martial law and order all the
bars, breweries. dktilleries and wine
shops 10 be closed.
The reason for this seemingly ex.
traordinary measure in Great Britain
Is the difficulty the military and naval
authorities have had I'm getting an ade-
quate supply OF munitions of wal from
the factories and dockyards. There
have been strikes and disputes with
laborers. and the output of many fac
tories has been far below what those

to have been. This is especially true

gestion that the trouble was due 10
drink Is said to have come from the
owners OF the %shipyards.
However this may be. the fact re-
mains that Great Britain Is a fairly
hard drinking country. According TO
Sir Thomas Dewar, 100000 persons
earn their living by making and selling
liquor. In the year 1913 the people OF
the United Kingdom spent 1888. 4O5. 600
or more than SIC a head for every
man. woman and child-on liquor. This
Is approximately the amount per capt.
Ia spent I'm the United States. The
hardest drinking parts Of England are
the northern and western counties
the great mining and manufacturing
regions. The effect of drink upon 90
ciety may be judged from the fact that
In the years 1926. out Of every 1000
Inhabitants 6.51 were actually arrested
for drunkenness, and In the years since
1890 there has been an average Of 2,671
deaths a year from alcoholism. Of which
GO per cent were men and 40 per cent
were women.
The ratio OF mortality from alcoholic
excess has increased 81 per cent among
males during the last twenty years and
among females 1t has increased by no
less than $50 per cent.

with wires from other points local
sellers were able TO push prices
sharply higher, advance in most in

Tops landed at $7.65. while the long
string of sales for the day was at 81.
Only a limited number of sheep
and lambs arrived and prices ruled

-COHAN PLAY TO BE
 AT POLI'S NEXT WEEK

The success which the Poli Players are attaining in James Montgomery entertaining comedy, Ready Money is one of the stock triunphs of local theatrical history. This amusing play is one of the most successful of Amer ican comedies. The unusualness of the story and the unique situations which the author has devised make the play one that appeals to all the atergoers. At the opening of the play, on New Years eve, Stephen Baird the hero, finds himself without funds and nothing to his credit but an undeyeloped mine out west. His lack of funds makes it impossible for him to develop his mine and, as though this was not trouble enough, his fiancee's mother looks upon hifn with disfavor because he is poor. But a counterfeiter arrives at this gloomy period and shows Stephen how much effect roll of money has, even if the money is not good. Stephen con- sents to accept 8 large amount and he finds that it works splendidly. From the time that Stephen accepts the counterfeit roll until the final cur tain drops with the girl in Stephens s arms and the mother bestowing her blessing upon her offspring and the clever young chap, Mr. Montgomery has woven story that grips the au- dience and furnishes amusement aplenty.
 An announcement of far more than usual interest is made by Manager Thatcher in regard to the attraction in which the players will appear next week. He has secured for exclusive presentation George M. Cohan's im-
 mensely successful mystery farce, ] Seven Keys to sBaldpate.'
