MAKING FOR TEMPERANCE
High Cost of Bibbling Is Having Its Ef-
feet in Barre.

Bearing common incubus OF gloom,
beveragarians of Barre and other per-
sons interested in the vending of wines,
beers and spirituous liquors met in a
lodge OF sorrow yesterday afternoon.
The high cost of bibulosity was trying
enough in the more piping times of peace,
but the war tax has brought despair un-
dreamed of before the war began, and
the meeting yesterday was called to de-
termine just what could be done. Ii was
determined And if the venders are
fused over the rising cost of likker, the
Ancient and Hungry Order of Lushers
are likely to be even more fabbergasted
when the newly lacked price list goes
into effect Except for the bum who
will steal his mothers egg money to
buy booze, the price list may mean any
thing to the customer who drinks for the
fun of it.
Every housewife knows what pound
of veal outlets costs to-day and the
light, moderate and heavy drinker of
fancy concoctions may sympathize with
the women folks when he is confronted
with the necessity of laying down 25
cents for his fayorite brand of Scotch or
gin mixture. Twenty cent booze is not
going to make playmates for Old John
Barleycorn and when they consider the
number of patrons who will take TO
Cliquot in preference to mortgaging their
farms for the commoner brands of rum
The beveragarians realize that their wor-
ries are measured by the bushel. As
