the city will not accept as bonds
men a brewery or the agents of
brewery, who have signed bond of
a saloonkeeper who will not obey
the law? That would be of interest
to a number of breweries and agents.
The federal government has a kst
of bondsmen who will not be ac-
cepted.
Little or no attention has been
paid to a saloonkecper's bond In
many years. 1t may be that they
are of no value. II so, why not re-
write the bond so that it will mean
something? Why not investigate the
subject before licenses for the next
semi-annual period are issuede If
the saloon bonds are of value, why
not take advantage of that fact IN the
regulation of the barrooms?

keepers Might Be Held to
Strict Accountability
BREWERS IN CONTROL

(By Oscar E. Hewitt in Chicago
Hera1d)
The bonding of saloonkeepers is
one important feature of the liquor
business in Chicago on which the
Toman commission has made no re-
port.
1t is estimated by employees of
both the City Collectors and City
Clerks offices, who handle the bonds,
that more than 90 per cent of them
are signed by brewery agents. That
means that more than $500 of the
saloons are under obligations to
breweries on this one score alone.
Results in One Batch
One hundred bonds were selected
at random to check on the above
estimate. The numbers of the Ii
censes ranged between 4,60l and
400. Agents of the Val Blatz
Brewing Company signed the Ii
censes numbered 4,601 to 4,640. The
McAvoy Brewing Company's agents
were the sureties on license No.
4,641, and the Bartholomae & Roes-
ing Brewing and Mating Company
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1917-03-09

were on No. 4,642. The Atlas Brew
ing Company came in for Nos. 4,64j
to 4,65s. The Fred Miller Brewing
Company accommodated the owner
of license No. 1869.
The Atlas took up the numbers
1900 to 1914, then the Brand Brew
ing Company wrote the bond for
4,675, and the Atlas wrote all of the
others, 1916 to AGO.
These bonds are now in force
having been written for the period
which ends May l next.
Noticed in Liquor Report
1t will be noticed that a brewery
agent or two was interested in each
OF the 100 bonds.
The Liquor Commissions report
says that Approximately 20 per cent
or 1852 licensed saloons in the city,
are more or less under the control
of the breweries, gin so far as control
is obtained by ownership by brew
cries of saloon licenses, fixtures and
leases, to premises of saloons"
Many of the brewers are looked
upon as highly respectable citizens
AS a class they are put on a much
higher plane of responsibility than
the saloonkeepers, but the saloon
keepers are continually knocked and
cuffed about as the real culprits, al
though in many cases they are only
the agents of the brewers.
Announcement was made that the
restaurant license of more than 400
saloonkeepers was to be revoked
because the restaurant license is al
legged to be used as means to evade
the Sunday closing law.
Why not an announcement that

IS HE CRAZY?

The owner OF large plantation in
Mississippi, where the fine figs grow,
is giving away few five-acre fruit
tracts. The only condition is that
figs be planted. The owner wants
enough figs raised to supply a CO.
operative canning factory. You can
secure five acres and an interest in
the canning factory by writing the
Eubank Farms Company, 1243 Key
stone, Pittsburgh, Pa. They will
plant and care for your trees for So
per month. Your profit should be
81 GOO per year. Some think this man
is crazy for giving away such valua-
bic land, but there may be method in
his madness.

COPS ARE WARY

When Peter Henry was arrested

colonial forces. 1t reads:
1.-The third year of the war has come
to an end. The number of or adj
versaries has increased but their

proved You crushed Rumania last
year. The Russian empire once more
trembles under your strokes. Both

tecting your beloved homes against
the terrors and devastations of war.

suits. 1t has threatened the eEemy's
