HAVRE DE GRACE DIZZY.
Booze Joints Closed May BY Legis-
latiVe Enactment.

The dozen or more booze joints
in Havre de Grace were closed at
midnight on Tuesday, the town hav-
ing voted dry some months ago, the
law becoming effective May 1, 1918.
There is much weeping by the fol-
lowers of old John Barleycorn in
that particularly wet town at the
mouth of the Susquehanna, which
has been an oasis for the thirsty in
Hartford and Cecil county for years
past, as both of these counties are
dry. Havre de Grace has been a
source Of supply for the booze ped
dlers who smuggled contraband wet
goods into Cecil and other dry ter
ritory, and these law-violating rene
gades will now have to go further,
to queneh their thirst and get liquid
refreshment for their customers.
1t has been long, hard fight to
drive the rum business out of Havre
de Grace, but the lines are closing
in on all sides of the rummies, and
wet territory is gradually drying up
throughout the country.

results that the quota is almost sub
scribed at this writing Wednesday

past week, which brought good re-
suits in the way of subscriptions.

mental in arranging a public meet
ing in the hall here Monday evening,
which was fairly well attended and
a good sum subscribed. The meet
ing was presided over by Rev. H. e.
Reed, who stated its purpose and
urged the Importance of everyone
doing their bit" by subscribing for
as large an amount as possible.
Rev. w. G. Koons, of this town,
followed with splendid address in
which he reviewed in an interesting
and instructive manner the events
leading up to this great war, show
ing how the deadly strife has de-
veloped into one of Autocracy versus
Democracy, and it's outcome fraught
with terrible import to the future
of every nation of the world, deter
mining as it would whether virtual
slavery under an autocratic power
should prevail, or the people be per-
mitted to enjoy the liberty, peace
and prosperity of self-imposed demo-
cratic government; and to this end
the necessity of subscribing every
dollar possible to the Liberty Loan
and assist the United States in sub
DUNG the Beast and making it i'm
possible for him ever to again at
tain the power he now has and
is threatening to extend.
Chas s. Pyle, president of the

ence joining in the choruses.

house to house canvass by the ladies
of the Red Cross subscriptions to
the amount of between $1,000 and
$4,000 were secured. Other sub
scriptions taken at the bank and
elsewhere have swelled the amount

trict, which is $36,650. AS the

ed. we are informed by officials of
