OF Kansas. Hts methods have resulted
in the arrest OF more than thousand
violators since March.
Before the advent of tho Kansas
and federal bone-dry laws the officials
had to watch only the professional
bootleggera Now, however. they
must exercise vigilance toward every
person who crosses the line.
