Has 161 Less " PinChes'
In Similar Period

Reports Of conditions in Rockford
Nlll.), the 'modeI prohibition city OF
the nation, continue to come in.
Some time ago, the Rockford Council
gave the Mayor and police department
thirty days to close the drinking
clubs, or forfeit their jobs.
Racine VS.. Rockford.
The following quotation is from the
Racine (Wis) Times:
The annual report Of the police de-
partment Of Rockford, ILL.,. has been
received, and as Rockford has the
same population as Racine, and is
dry" while Racine is "wct," it Of
fers an interesting comparison with
the local report which was issued
about a week ago
Local city officials were surprised
when they compared the two reporrs.
Despite the fact that Racine has 152
saloons, the full number permitted
this city by law, the Rockford report
shows that there we're 1Gl more ar
rests for intOXicatiOn in Rockford
"Iclt no saloons are allowed. than
in Racine. There were 675 persons
arrested for being intoxicated in
Rockford in 1914, while in Racine
there were 5l4 arrests.
Rockford's Not DRY"
The report also shows that not
outstanding the fact that Rockford
has no licenses, there were forty-two
arrests for violation of the liuuor
laws, while in Racine there we're only
ten arrests for this o$nnSe.
Reports from Rockford are to the
effect that the lid is clampcd down
tight, and yet there were ninety-one
arrests for gambling, while in Racine
there were only twenty-one arrests
Tor this OffcnSc. There were numcr-
Gus arrests in Rockford Of persons
charged with being inmates of disOr-
derby houses, or keepers of the
same, but there were none in Racine,
Rockford requires thirty-cight Off,
GERS to protect it's people, while in
Racine there are only thirty-fve.

Notice To National Guard

In view of the fact that many OF our
boys are going to the front in defense Of
our country, we want to call their atten-
ton to a matter that vitally concerns
them.
Many OF their life insurance policies
provide that in case tho insured takes
part in war, unless his policy has been
properly endorsed by the company for
such an emergency. and death OCCURS to
the insured while on duty, the insurance
cannot be collected.
In order to obyiate such an unfortunate
condition, each soldier should examine
his policy and il it contains such pro-
vision he should have it properly endors-
ed SO as to surely protect his interests.
If so desired. the policy can be sent to
the Colorado Insurance Department and
we will gladly attend to the whole mat
ter.
