The Harper house bar was today
reopened.
The hostelry has placed in a
stock Of near-beer and other soft

served in the place, according to
the present plans. The same fix
lures as were before used remain
in the bar and are being employed
in handling the new trade.
Otto Patting, who was manager
of the bar room before the estab-
lishment of the half-mile dry zone,
which forced the hotel to close its
saloon, is In charge OF the soft
drink par1or.
Some of the 40 saloons which
will go out OF the liquor business
here on May 1. will continue to
sell soft drinks and near-beers.
Some will add lunches to this ser
vice. Many claim that the low
percentage OF alcohol in beer dur
ing the last few months was but
little more than that IN near-beer
and the switch from the beer to
the near-beer will not be very
noticeable.
