NORTH IRELAND IN LINE

According to Johnson North, Ireland is as ready as Scotland for prohibition. He has just returned from the annual meeting of the Ulster Temperance council is Assembly hall, Belfast. where the thrilling announcement was made that Sir Edward Carson. long the political leader of Ulster, announced his support of the prohibition campaign. He ad- dressed Il large bodies in four days, in cluding the Rotary club and Gregg hall gathering in Dublin.
 "In Ireland I was entertained several times by prohibition, workers who drank whisky with their meals" said MT. John son "They apologized by saying they were allowing themselves this indulgence because they knew it would be denied them in few days"
 Irish and Scotch are the only whiskies commonly known in Britain. Much Of Irish whisky is made in Ulster. Prohibi- ton in Scotland and Ulster would enor- mously decrease the supply of these spirits in England and Wales unless their dlstillation were taken up outside the cry territory or imports were invited.

fourth baseball game of the inter-

place tomorrow afternoon If the

careless and he failed to deliver just
what was in him. This tale has not
impressed the Matawan fans and
they AVE insisted on the goods" for
this game and it has been quietly
passed about his week that it would
not surprise those on the inside if
several of the worlds champions APP
peared in the Matawan lineup.
If Matawan wins Sundays game
the series will be ended and the base
ball prize goes TO A~Iatawan. Mann

enough on Sunday last to win over
many league teams with the heavy

Will be present and with Pcrrine. Of

have the baseball fans gone as
