COURT is ASKED
In PETITION
William Payne Claims Back Yard
Poultry Farm is Damage to His
Property Holdings.

Chickens may be all right in the
country, but in a residential dis
trict-weil, they are simply out OF
their element.
How can anyone sleep in the
cooling hours Of the early dawn
when several ROSTERS meath the
windows of a costly apartment
house send forth their challenge
to the world about 3 a. M, and
continue the racket until the clock
reaches 6?
That is one OF the reasons as
signed by William Payne in a petit
ton filed in circuit court in which
an injunction is sought. against
James Long to abate forever what
Is termed a nuisance. Said null
sance is alleged to consist OF noise
and filth created by $50 or 200
chickens of various sizes and ages.
which are sheltered in the rear of
the Long residence at 53S TWEEN
tieth street within about thirty
feet Of the Payne apartments.
Can't Open windows.
Families living in the apartment
house, which adjoins the Long
property on the south, and occu-
pants Of a dwelling situated to the
west on the same plot with the
apartment, are forced to keep their
windows tightly closed even in the
hot weather, the petition claims,
due to a nauseating stencil arising
from the coops
Mr.. Payne represents that unless
the defendants are enjoined from
continuing to operate a poItry
farm within its present location, It
will result in a monetary loss to
him and that It will cause his
apartment and dwelling house to
depreciate in value. He sets forth
that upon the expiration Of the
present leases held by his renters
the families will move elsewhere
and his investment will be forced
to stand idle.
Damages tota1ing 5000 have al
ready been sustained, the COM
plainant alleges, and the court is
asked to assess this amount
against the defendant.

DON'T SLUMP
fBy II. II. Culver

The American people showed their
patriotism during the war by working
hard and producing the enormous
quantities of supplies necessary for
victory-by saving and investing-by
laying aside the hindrances to eff
cheney. But true patriotism lasts.
1t is not matter of fits and starts.
1t is not put on and off as a garment.
/ is a part of the patriots soul. 1t is
shown in peace as we'll as in war.
1t is not sloughed off when an armis-
tice is signed-or even when final
peace is declared. 1t does not slump.
John w. Prentss has called atten-
ton ito danger arising from the
slump that follows war: when we
found that we were dependent upon
the world, and chiefly upon Germany,
for many things, from lenses to drugs,
we were obliged to take up the pro-
duction of these things ourselves.
Now that it is over, shall we slump
AGAIN." And the Buffalo Express
(from which I quote) says: "Thc
answer is, of course, that America
must keep on working" Don't slump.
Drunken automobile drivers have
been fined 500. Recently the fine
was raised to $3.50, and Judge Keller
warns that future violators Of the law
will land in the penitentiary. Says
the Express: "Of course Judge
Keller cannot commit the other
judges to like policy, but it is to be
hoped that in the interest OF the pub
lie, drunken drivers will hereafter be
taken before Keller. and that he will
give them all he has promised an
the interest of the public" That
should be the keynote of public pol
icy. Not personal liberty to do as
one pleases Even the American
Brewers Review admitted this in an
editorial, saying: "The so-called per-
sonal liberty argument in behalf of al
coholic drink loses more and more of
its force. Consideration of the public
welfare continues to grow and over
shadow the rights OF the individual.

FED R0HGE TURNS KEY IN DOOR
Head of Chicago Liquor Dealers
Quits Business
His Place One of Oldest in Loop
District
Moving Vans Carry Away Sa-
loon Fixtures
Fred Always Ready to Lend Aid
to Politicians

Fred Rohde, Chicago saioonkeeper,
president of the Cook County Liquor
Dealers Protective Association and
former alderman, has turned the key
in the door Of his saloon and retired
forever from business. Moving vans
have carried away the fixtures.
His place was one of the oldest sa-
Icons in the loop. Forty years ago
il opened as sample room. Rohde
operated the saloon since 1897. Be-
fore he took possession it was run
by Big Tim Sullivan. Rohde chris
tened the place as the City Hall An
mex and it became one of the best
known drinking resorts in the vicinity.
Those seeking a city job would meet
their aldermen in Rhodes drinking
place and Fred was always willing to
lend assistance. AS president of the
Cook County Protective Association,
Rohde has had many tits with the
anti-liquor forces.
His retirement from business, say
liquor men, is significant. Rohde
himself said he would go into bust
ness again when Congress lifts the
ban on beer and whisky too.
