Booze Still Demanded
In Clear Greek County

1t is evident that not all citizens
of Clear Creek county favor the
adoption of "bone-dry" pro-
hibition law. Shipments received
during the month of January in
Idaho Springs were los, or four for
every week day The county seat
was not far behind with 73, while
Silver Plume received 35. The
thirsty citizens of Empire num-
bered just thirteen while there
we're eleven calling Dumont home
who ran short of "likker" and were
obliged to receive new supply.
The total receipts for the county
amounted1o 237. enough to raise
considerable hell and cause untold
misery in many homes.

The Crusty Old Bachelor Isn't the Only One WhoIs Rabid on the Subject of the Modern Undisciplined
 Child and the Still More Undisciplned Parent

Its all very well for you to be amused" my friend, the c. o. B., said, but deep down in your contrary femi- nine heart you know I'm right and thar such kids spoiled to death and un- trained and ungoverned make other peo- ple's lives perfect burden and if parents won't make their children be- have then their poor long suffering fel- lew men ought to organize into league of self-defense against the whole army of spoiled children"
 But aren't you judging the whole or kiddom' by just one terrible example, :" asked "I know lots of adorable chii- dren, well behaved, and--''
 At the start, said my statements were general although I had to cite one case in particular to illustrate my point, the c. 0. B. snapped back. "Of course. I know there are plenty of perfect lambs. lovely children, but I insist that the majority of modern children are spoiled to death and as undisciplined as young colts and-and-weIl. it's because they've got such undisciplined parents; that's it."
 Never a word said I, but sat right st1H in the boat, and let him resume:
 Now, like children; dearly love them." the "Crusty Old Bachelor an- nounced, land Z think there are very IeW normal cniiuTen WHc WOuiu DC pert and saucy if their parents didn't make them so. But now, honest- t-to-goodness. haven't you seen the kind of child who would butt into the conversation when grown people were talking about really serious matters and the mother and ia ther of the child sit quietly by and never reprove the kid or say one word to him? Of course. you have, and you can't call me a .crochety' or 8 theorizing old bachelor. either, because I've got bodies and oodles of nephews and nieces and some of them are so bad that I'd like to switch them; others are really goody-goody, 50 you see I know both types: but I'm just plain, everyday, ordinary, human being who likes to see children managed and not spoiled to death and undisciplined by their still worse spoiled and undisciplined parents 7
