Fought for Dry Missouri

Kansas City's vote on the prohi-
bition measure has sent her stock
soaring In Colorado. according to
Gordon Jones. Denver banker. who
took an active part in the fight to
drive saloons from Missouri. In a
letter to Alfred II. Wagner. public
ity manager OF the Third Amend
ment Association, Mr.. Jones said:
1T shows the world the people OF
Kansas City know a good thing when
they see it: that they are ready to
cinbrace an opportunity for the city
TO 70 forward. II demonstrates sat
'sfactorily to the people of Colora-
do that your city knows when 1t has
had enough.
When | read OF the majority your
county and city gave the proposed
amendment, felt amply repaid for
my time ard trouble. Kansas City
Is the largest city in the nation to
vote dry" and you should be CON
graduated"
Harking back to the liquor liter.
ature sent out from Colorado, Mr..
Jones called attention to the fact
that Denver voted wet by twelve
thousand on the statewide measure
but when a proposed relaxing OF the
dry law came before the people
Ity was dry" and by an eight thous.
and majority.
More than all else. the last vote
proves TO me on which side is the
rsmorse OF Denver =" Mr.. Jones
concluded

and earn some good old honest
suilders; work on with zest-that

statesmen state our path to wealth
and glory, we'll be obscure and
beastly poor when We are bent and

friend. on government to aid you,
you'll weep some morn at how for

be a joke and youll go broke. while
others nail the plumber. The easy
skates hear candidates and think It's

should Man or His wife He Boss"

Once upon time youth, who
had commenced to navigate the sea
OF matrimony, went to his father
and said: Father. who should be
the boss. me or my wife?"
Then the old man smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and team
OF horses. Hitch up the horses. load
the chickens into the wagon, and
wherever you find man and wife
dwelling stop and make inquiry as
to who is the boss. Whenever you
find a woman running things, leave
chicken. II you come to place
where man is in control. give him
one OF the horses.
After seventy-nine chickens had
been disposed of he came to a
house and made the usual inquiry.
I'm boss of the ranch.' said the
man.
Got to show me-" said the boy.
SO the wife was called and she af-
firmed the husbands assertion.
Take whichever horse you want"
was the boys reply, SO the husband
said. I'm take the bay" The wife
did not like the horse and called her
| husband to one side and talked to
him. He returned and said: Il be-
lieve I'll take the grey horse
Il guess not" said Missouri.

portunities are similar in nature The

organizations are being urged to
form local county organizations.
