OKLAHOMA, ALSO
That State, Says Correspondent, Was
First to Have Law Against Ad-
vertising Liquors

An Oklahoma correspondent takes
The Issue to task for not including
his state in the list of states having
anti-liquor advertising laws. He says
Oklahoma is the first state in
the procession. We wrote an anti
liquor advertising provision in
the constitution and then followed
it up by statute passed by Ok
lahoma's first Legislature prohib-
iting the advertisement of liquor
in any manner whatever with
fine of $50 to $500 and 80 days TO
six months imprisonment

In ordinary times the general pub

Of events behind those home walls
that constitute for every law abid-
ing man his castle.
But in extraordinary times, such as
the conditions created by the present
war, home conditions are laid bare in
families whose bread winner is at the
front, and private or public organiza-
tons have to take his place in pro-
viding for the family expenses.
Such an organization is the Patri-
otto Fund of Montreal which looks
after the families of absent soldiers.
Over $1,000 visits were made during
the second year of its work, to fam.
lilies in Montreal, alone. They included

The chief disabilities which made
aid necessary, as recorded by the III
visitors and volunteers, was, in order
of frequency, "out OF work soldier"
"out OF work-family head" debts
(family);" Chronic and acute dis
ease" ''intemperancc."
The pictures of intemperancc found
in some OF the families show how
badly Canada needed Prohibition, and
equally they show the justification for
and the benefits derived from Prohibi-
ton, when it came.
One woman was found, running a
liquor joint, robbing her visitors

The marriage of Miss Mary Riddle

The marriage of Miss Mary Riddle
to Mr.. Robert Curtis Fly occurred at
the BRIDES home at San Antonio, Tex,
on December 18th. The bride is the
only daughter of Mrs Jenny Andrews
and the late Mr.. Jas. E. Riddle, and
is native Of Waterproof: her parents
were residents of st. Joseph some
years ago. She is q pretty and ac-
complished young lady and is loved
and admired by large circle OF
friends. The groom is a progressive
young man of the Lone Star State and
is connected with the Magnolia Petro-
leum Co., of San Antonio, and his
business ability is recognized by his
firm, whose confidence he possesses.
In: common with the BRIDES Tensas
friends, the Gazette extends congrat.
ulations and good wishes.
Mr.. O'Niel, OF Vicksburg, was a Wis
itor to st. Joseph and Tensas parish
this week and met quite a number OF
our people. Mr.. O'Neil and Mr.. Barney
Mcnamara with three other employees
of the Louis Hoffman Hardware Co.,
of Vicksburg have organized stock
company to be known as the O'Niel-
McNamara Hardware Co., and will en-
gage in business at Vicksburg about
January 18th. Mr.. O'Neil's visit to
Tensas was to interest some OF our
people in his company, and we UNDER
stand he sold quite good deal OF
stock in this parish. The new firm
will have the best wishes of our people.
Incidentally we might say, however,
the establishment of this new hard
ware house will not cause any inter-
ference in the business of the Louis
Hoffman Hardware Co. which has 30
long been the Mecca for Tensas wants
in the hardware line, and which is now
perhaps better than ever prepared to
serve the wants Of their customers,
