REsuLTs OF RoNE.pRY LAW.

That bone-dry prohibition is emil
nently satisfactory to the police de-
partment of Sioux Falls, Mimi, is set
forth in the annual report of the chief
of police, w. H. Martin, to the city
commissions. He declares that the po-
lice protection afforded Sioux Falls
amounts to one-third Of one patrol
man to every thousand of population
or the lowest of any important city in
the United States.
To show how prohibition has worked
out so far as the police are concerned,
Chief Martin submits the following
table of arrests in connection with
liquor during the year:

RUM RATION BAD.

In regard to the rum ration a suH

OFFICIAL DECORATOR
For Welcome Home Day" IL Geo
H. Siponds

George H. Simonds, Inc, of Hart
ford, has been awarded the contract
for decorating the public buildings
for the big Welcome Home celebra-
ton in honor of Putnam's service
men, to be held Labor Day. A rep
resentative of the firm was in the
city Monday looking over the build
ings with the committee in charge,
and his plans and estimates have
been accepted by the committee.
The proposal to select an official
decorator who should be recommend
ed to do most of the work has been
abandoned, as it was felt that this
action would tend to restrict compe-
tition. 1t is planned, however. that
all buildings in the business section
will be decorated as a whole, rather
than having each individual tenant
follow his own ideas. To this end,
cooperation of business men is being
sought, the plan being to have the
tenants in each building arrange for
the decoration of the entire building,
each paying his fair proportionate
share of the cost.
