DRY THREE WEEKS

Some Local Tradesmen Declare
Business Is Better, But Others
Saw Different.

were closed together with the hotel

have remained closed since. As on all
other questions there is a diversity of
opinion as 10 the benefit derived
therefrom. Some of the local trades
people are emphatic in declaring the
bone dry order has benefited them.
Others take a different view of the
case. The shoe stores say they have
sold more shoes in the past three
weeks than in the same period of time
previously for many years. Some gro
GERS declare that the reason their
sales are better is that prices for all
commodities are higher. For instance,
Mr.. George Sherman says while his
sales have been very much better he
does not attribute it to the dry or

neighborhood going to Baltimore TO
buy their booze and naturally they
buy other things. Sales are pretty

Sherman does not attribute them to
the dry order.
Mr. G. d. Purdy, of West st. extend
ed, says his trade has increased since
the dry order and sales have picked
up This is especially noticeable on
Saturday nights.
Mr. Edward Jewell, Main st. says
he has more busienss some days than
he can handle, and a larger class of
strange people who have never traded
with him before. He says business is
most satisfactory and he attributes a
great deal of it to the enforcement of
the probationary measure.

recognition does exist.
For entering upon this truce. the
dogs. as presumably the stronger
party might az first thought be cred
tied with desree of maEnanimity
TO which they are not entitled. From
closer observation we may discover
nat it is a truce resulting from vain
and WORKOUT efforts 10 overcome the
aerial advantages of the enemy.
When. If ever, the dog acquires the
cats art OF climbing a tree. the
truce will be at an end
In the meantime may We not
draw a rather profitable lesson from
the extreme caution with which the
cat accepts terms of peace that seem
too good 20 be true? For the Free

dulling her claws To such a degree
that she no longer remains mistress
