To RESTRICT SALES
OF LIQUOR BY MAIL
Methodist Temperance Board
Wants Law Regulating Ad-
vertising and Soliciting.
STATEMENT OF REASONS

In the name of 100000 Methodists
each individua1 member of Congress
was yesterday afternoon requested TO
enact legislation barring from the
United States mail liquor advertising
and solicitation, except when addressed
to licensed liquor dealers. Ihls request
was made by the board OF temperance
of the Methodist Church at ITS meeting
in the Continental Hotel
In the communication sent to MEM
bers of Congress the following reasons
We're given:
"The liquor mail order business Is
vastly increasing. due to the growing
use of the mails as a medium OF au'er-
tising and solicitation.
This trade is carried on in hostility
to the laws of prohibition states anu OF
dry communities. and in competition
with local licensed dealers in wet terrl-
tory.
Say Traffic Is Not Controlled.
"The mail order traffic is under prac-
tically no control. such as exists for
the regulation of the saloons The ar
guments ordinarily presented IN oppo-
sition to prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic do not apply to this trade. 1T is a
free lance in the field. knowing no hours
and no restrictions of sale.
1T is definitely known that this traf-
fic results in vast amount of crime OF
the most atrocious character.
THE states of Washington. Ok lahoma
Oregon, West Virginia. North Dakota
Colorado. Maine. Alabama Georgia
South Dakota. Virginia and Mississippi
have attempted to exclude liquor ad-
vertising and solicitation from their
borders and are balked by the use of
the United States mails.

GERS We're chosen to serve another year.
These included Mrs. Lucia AmeS Mead
of Boston, secretary; Mrs. William l..
Ihomas OF Chicago, executive Secre-
tary. and Miss Sophonisba +. Breckin-
ridge of Chicago, treasurer. Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young was given a unanimous
vote for honorary chairman. Vice
chairmen selected included three of the
incumbents-Mrs. Anna Gerlin Spencer

made by DR.. Neena Hamilton Prings-

Saw Traffic Is Not Controlled.
Women and Children as Prey.

"A great deal of this advertising is
especially designed to cause drinking
among women and children.
individuals and communities hos
tile to the traffic in alcoholic bever-
ages are very much annoyed by mail
order solicitation.
The United States mails already ex-
clude liquors, lottery tickets and ad-
vertisements and other matter which is
against public policy.
Concerning this matter there is
practically no difference of opinion in
the twenty-three states which are un-
der prohibition or have enacted pro-
hibition laws, and there is no consid-
cradle opposition of general nature
in any other states of the Union. This
is indicated by the fact that about one
half of the daily papers and much more
than one-half of the other publications
of the country have adopted a business
policy which does not admit of the pub
lication of liquor advertisements"

POTATO NOTES

The price Of potatoes at Fort Fair

days. the prices now ranging from
1915 to $3.50 per barrel. No Cobbler
potatoes are being brought into mar
ket, but it Is said they are worth about

slowly, az those who have potatoes on
hand are waiting for still higher
prices. The supply of cars is fairly
good.

rel for potatoes predicted in the CO.

several days ago, was entirely correct,
inasmuch as 1t is understood that the

non-suit was directed. and the case
comes up on exceptions to that ruling.
The section Of State aid highway

at the trial that the work of construct

by the defendant town and that Mr.
Emery was its representative and
agent for whose negligence in prose-
cutting the work the town is liable And
he offered proof to show that the ac-

having it properly covered, and without
