CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-The liquor in
terests were given another setback to-
day when Judge George A. Carpenter
handed down Il decision in the United
States District Court which held that
the war time prohibition act and the
Volstead enforcement act were CON
stitutional. Judge Carpenter announced
that Judge Louis Fitzhenrv, Of Peoria,
Ill.,. had concurred in the decision.
In making his ruling Judge Car

and Julius F. Smietanka, Collector of
internal Revenue, from enforcing the
dry act and the enforcement law.
Under the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution, which provides that legis-
latlon restricting personal liberties Of
individuals may be passed if the com
munity as whole is benefited, Judge
Carpenter held Congress was en-
powered to pass the two acts involved

pletc, and the country was still in a
state of war, regardless Of General
Pershings statement tina. army de-
mobilization was complete, and despite

The decision of Judge Carpenter in
favor Of the "drys" brings the total
number of judges who have favored
prohibition up to seven, while the
liquor forces have gained but two de-
cisions. Judge Fitzhenry. who will
hand down his decision in Peoria to-

Meantime machinery for the enforce

Recently a customer brought
back one of the few things
which we WILL NOT ex-
change because OF sanitary
reasons.
Upon our refusal to take
back her purchase, she be-
came angry and left our store
after finding fault with our
methods, etc.
The next morning she came
back bright and early and
asked us to forgive her for her
unkIndness, which we gladly
did.
She said: Il realize that
your refusal was not only
justified, but was done to pro-
tect your patrons. l am more
convinced than ever that this
is store where EVERY
BODY is treated the same,
and treated fairly. Never

UPTURN IN MARKET
PRICES OF LIBERTY
BONDS IS Imminent
SOME LIQUIDATION INEVITABLE,
SAYS ANNALlsT, BUT IT IS
HEALTHY CONDITION.

The fact that the market price Of
Liberty Bonds is still below par has
brought forth endless discussion
among persons who either seek or try
to give the reasons for the prices.
The present prices of Liberty
Bonds have also been factor in con
tributing to pessimistic stories as tc
the difficulty which the nation will
have in floating a Fifth Loan.
The situation seems to be so well
set forth in recent article in The
Annalist, New York financial weekly
that we are reprinting part of the
article:
Every loan floated, whether 1t
be corporate or governmental, re-
quires a certain amount of time
to become seasoned. This will be
particularly true of our national
loans. which have all been sold
during periods of tremendous
pressure where every appeal was
: made to the buyer to take the
maximum, whether or no the Sc
curity was suited to his needs or
within his ability to pay.
Gradual liquidation from small
holders is as inevitable, there
fore, as the law of survival. He
shall take who hath the power,
and he shall keep who can, and it
is in keeping that more strength
of character is required than in
the resolution necessary to bring
one to the point of signing the APP
plication. The gravitation that is
going on, therefore. is a healthy
function, except, of course, where
selling is induced by INSCRIPTIONS
swindlers. The liquidation from
this source represents so many
footprints of the bonds in passage
from the hands of the weak to
the strong, and every sale that
takes place on the board emanat-
ing from this source is one step
nearer to soliG market for Lib
lgerty Loans, since it is we'll
known characteristic of those
who buy in declining market to
hold either for permanent invest
ment or for so substantial a rise
that they are amply compensated
for their carry.
Much of the money realized
from bonds sold to produce
writeoffs in the income tax will
either lie in banks or go into
short -time securities for invest
ment after the new year, and the
switching by savings banks may
be safely counted upon to do
nearly as much good to the mar
ket price of the Liberty Loans
as it can harm to rails and mu-
nicipals. AS matter of fact the
taking of tax exempts from an in
stitution unaffected by taxes and
the resale of the same to private
individuals is only the natural re-
suit of gravitation of securities
into the final niche in which they
are most efficient.
1t is confidently believed, there
fore, that a turn in the tangent of
bond prices is at hand with an
especially cheerful prospect for
our national loans.
