BUREAU COUNTY FOR DRY
SUNDAY

States Attorney Joseph T. Skinner
and Sheriff O. H. Skoglund of Bureau
county have decided that the saloons
of the county must obey the state
law against the sale of liquor on Sun
day.
The new order went into effect
December "a, and it is said that the
saloonmen have accepted it with
resignation" They seem to take it
for granted that the county officials
mean business.
The order is said to be largely. the
result of the change of sentiment in
the saloon towns of the county upon
this question of Sunday closing. The
majority of the people in those towns,
it is believed, are strongly in favor OF
the enforcement of the state law.
Even some of the bartenders claim
to welcome the new order as it gives
them day of rest.
