A man came in the other day, says
an exchange, with what he thought
was conundrum: "Why is news

swers were: '3Because it has to have
some ono to run it, "Because both
have to be appreciated. "Because
both are good advertising mediums. -
"Because it changes its dress.'' The
correct answer is: "Because every
man should have one of his own and
not be running after his neighbor 3. -
While awaiting decision of the
court as to whether the bone dry law
is violated by person carrying liquor
for personal use into dry territory in
his grip or baggage, Attorney General
Gregory has ordered that search Of
baggage by federal agents without
warrants shall cease. It is pointed
out however that the attorney general
does not say that a person may have
liquors in his possession in dry terri
tory and that too frequent trips &C.
companied by baggage may be dan
gerous. It might be well for those
toting the stuff to be advised when the
decision Of tho court is rendered.
