Sebastian and wholesale liquor ,..alers who are working 10 banish the reeling drunk ard from this town. Analysis of the liquor situation by Judge Jones showed that out of 1134 intoxicated men arrested, only four got in that condition by drinking beer or light wines. The others drank whiskey and "hard stuff"
 Asking the men where they got their liquor. the police found that most of the drunken men came from one of four saloons. There are scores of bars here. but. a close tab shows that only four had a habits of send ing forth helpless staggerers.
 The offending four were warned not to sel4 to known. drunkards or persons already under the influence of liquor. The average daily number of arrests decreased from 76 to 27. and the average number of men ar rester Saturday night fell from 13S to 32. Judge Jones hopes to. prac- tically eliminate public drunkenness within three months.

WATCH vERlUljNI ljI CONFLICT
GRAVE E+FECT ON THE WAR
Defeat in Great Struggle Would be Followed by Important Changes in International Situa- tion in Europe.

Lu-.DON, March 23.-The British press is studying carefully the ef- feet of the Verdun fighting on pub lie opinion in the neutral countries
 A special correspondent sent to Sweden by the Telegraph warns the British public as follows:
 "Any decisive German success will produce a far-reaching political eff feet upon neutral countries. The re- bound in Sweden would be great and almost immediate
 "It is hardly realized abroad that the recent fluctuations in the atti- tude of the Swedes were the direct results of the vicissitudes of the cam paign in general and of Russia's s grave reverse in particular. While the majority of tho Swedish people entertain no desire to entertain a safe and lucrative neutrality for a belligerency, which can bring no last ing advantage, the sentiments of the inarticulate majority are of litAe avail against the motives by which the ruling statesmen are impressed.
 Ut Is certain that decisive Teu- tonic victory at the present juntture would be followed by most important changes in the international situa- tion." ::
 The Athens correspondent of The Telegraph says.
 "If Greece can serve as an exam pie of the effect which the giant struggle at Verdun will have upon neutrals, one can safely forecast that 1t will be immense. Greece Is follow ing the different phases of the battle of Verdun with absorbing interest. It is believed here that the effects and political consequences will be even more far reaching on Germsny's Balkan Allies"
 Dispatches from Bucharest show that keen interest is taken there in the Verdun fighting. The correspond ent of the Exchange Telegraph Com pany says: "Only g. great German victory can prevent Rumania from joining the Entente Allies soon.

The Junior Play.

AS is always the case, a play by local
talent brings a full house and 1.-The
Private Secretary" was no exception.
Central hall turned out ninety dollar
audience for the Juniors on Friday eve
ming last and everybody appeared well
pleased with the efforts of the class.
"rhe Private Secretary" is a comedy.
drama full of life and spirit and fun
producing parts.
The characters as published recently,
took their roles extremely well. There
seemed to be no embarrassment or hes
itation, although all were new at the
task.
The play called for plenty of action,
and each actor entered into the spirit
of the plot and its unfolding with un-
usual vim.
AS a speciality between acts the male
quartette of DIN Beayis, Rawley Hall
man, Roy Sweet and Clifford Hutton
sang two songs which were thoroughly
appreciated.
After the play many stayed for a
couple of hours dancing, with Hutton's
orchestra furnishing music.

Windsor & Jardine Now.

Twenty-Five years ago this month
Dick Windsor landed in Yale and pur.
chased Will Salter's barber shop, then
located between the Central Drug
Store and John Hutton's hardware
Later he bought the lot where the bar
Der shop building now stands and
built a neat brick shop and moved
into the same. He has attended strict.
ly to business and has been on the job
all the time looking after the welfare
of his trade, taking but very little va
cation in all these years.
Believing that it is not necessary to
be tied so closely to business he entered
into partnership with Bert Jardine this
week and the firm name is now Wind.
sor Il Jardine. The management OF
the shop will be under the supervision
Of Mr.. Jardine. Bert has worked fol
his present partner many years and is
we'll known and popular with every.
body in this city and surrounding
country.
We bespeak for the new firm the
success that has favored the shop for
so many years, and continued good
service and treatment to all customers
either new or old.
