Officials said Tuesday one estimate
is that the beverage uses now
known would consume the bonded
stock Of whisky in 16) years. At
this rate the whisky would mean an
investment OF something like 800 a

10 one statistician.

There is one more perplexing an

whisky may remain in bond only

removed and the tax paid. Much OF
the whisky now in bond has been in
nearly eight years.

CITY IN BEAUTIFUL SETTING
Fret Sight Of Constantinople Cannot
Fail to impress Even the Most
Satiated Globe Trotter.

However many descriptions of Con-
stantinople may have been read or
heard previously, the actual sight Of
1t must scertainly come to every one
with a feeling almost Of establishment
at the sheer beauty Of the place.
Certainly it can be matter of sur
prise to no one that Constantine chose
Byzantium as the spot from which to
rule the East, for surely no city ever
had a more magnificent situation.
Whether seen from the deck Of the
steamer, as it nears ConstantinOple,
coming up from the sea Of Mamora,
or from the head Of the Golden Horn,
or from the heights of Pera opposite,
or even from the Galata bridge, STAN
boul, rising from the brilliantly blue
waters which surround it on three
sides, must always take first place for
loneliness among all the beautiful
cities of the world. In May, when all
the Judas trees are a mass of pinkish
blossom and the wistaria hangs in
pendant pale mauve masses above the
narrow streets between the old wood
en- houses, Stamboul is perhaps beauti-
ful above all months in the year.

Two hundred and seven licenses to
wed have been issud by County Clerk
j. w. Monaghan during the past year.
This is about one hundred less than
were issued the previous year. No
doubt the falling off in marriages is
due to the war but with the soldier

Editor Denison Review:
z Myself and family are well, having
escaped the flu epidemic which was
quite severe here a few weeks ago.
T leave for Pierre this week to take
up my duties as State Representative
for my third term in the Legislature.
1 look for a very interesting and busy
session. The people approved a num-
Der of amendments to our constitution
at the election this fall which will re-
'quire some very important legislation
to put them into effect This in addi-
.tion to the usual routine will make a
lot of business.
I note with great regret that Deni-
son and Crawford county are suffering
greatly from the scourge of influenza,
and am especially grieved at the death:
of my very warm friend, DR.. Wright
well remember the six years he and
1 served together on the Denison City
Council and how always found him a
man of the highest integrity and the
soundest Judgment. His going is a
distinct loss to your community and
an irreparable one to his three daugh.
tiers.
With best wishes I remain,
Very truly yours.

troops might be accelerated, the mar
