When Did Liquor
Foes Start Fight
on Demon RUM

Fpbm the very first of the long cam
pain against the liquor traflc. which
has just ended, perhaps forever, in
wayne and Preble counties, the bat
file between "drys" and vets has
been full of skirmishes, luminosity and
excitement.
The story of the century-long battle
in New Garden township and Foun-
tain City, began later than that in
Richmond about 1890. Although the
township was settled by Friends from
south Carolina. liquor in private
homes was looked on with a great
deal of indulgence.
But when Edward s. Mason started
a brewery, in 1925, the citizens were
full indignation. He dipped his water
from a pool in hole he dug near his
brewery, and placed a plank across
II, on which he stood to dip up the
WaIeD. Some son of temperance
sawed the slab through from the ow-
er side, and Mason went through up
TO his armpits in the pool He could
lot drown, but neither could he get
out, and he stayed there until night
1~-A-, "ASh SdlilCO duu Muuuy he was
removed. He left the neighborhood
William Way started another brew
cry in 1880. but quit under fire. Soon
after his failure, a man named Ma
rlne started a saloon, in 1929. En-
| couraged by his success, three others
opened up. The drys in the mean
time were busy. and organized soon
afterwards into a temperance society,
with a constitution and bylaws, the
first society of the kind in the county
and one of the first in the state. A
debate was called, between the advo-
Gates of liquor and the drys, at old
Newport now Fountain City, which
lasted from two o'clock until mid
night. From this time, the temper
| ance movement gained strength, and
the four saloons closed
With the exception Of few spora-
dc attempts to open again, there have
| oeen no saloons or breweries in the
| township since that time The only
other man who sold liquor in the
early history of the township was
sent to jail for a misdemeanor, and
his goods were sold for debt while he
was there When released. he left
the county.

Dinner Stories

She was weeping bitter tears into
her afternoon tea. "Oh, my dear"
she said to her only friend, 81 don't
know what I shall do. Ted and I have
only been married six months, yet he
spends every evening at his club
Wen, don't worry darling" said the
other. 'Percys just the same But
shall never scold him again for
spending so much time at his club
why not?"
Well, last night a burglar got into
the house and my husband knocked
him senseless with poker. I've heard
several men speak of him as a poker
expert. He has evidently been prac-
uc1ng at the club for just such an
emergency
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, at the annual dinner of the
Publishers association, told this story:
When President Wilson and his
physician, Admiral Grayson, visited
Buckingham palace, they were assign
ed to beautiful rooms, gorgeously dec.
Grated. Feeling tired, Admiral Gray
son stretched himself on a luxurious
couch, when in walked a turnkey
dressed in knickerbockers, wearing a
wig and other equipment Of the royal
serNitor. In cockney accent he
asked if Admiral Grayson would have
sor1e tea.
No, l never drink tea replied Ad.
miF1al Grayson.
Something else?' queried the ser
want.
No doubt rejecting on the dry con
dfions rapidly spreading through the
United States, Admiral Grayson re
piled:

Good Evening
IT REALLY HAPPENED
BY ROY K. MouLToN

Once there was an Elevator Opera
tor who was quick and polite, and one
day when an Office Boy, who was going
to the tenth floor, didn't get off right
away when the Operator called out the
floor, the Operator saved the ONCE
Boys life by stopping the Elevator
quickly, when the Boy tried to jump
through the half-closed door, after the
Operator had started the car, and the
Boy was so grateful he insisted on
riding down to the ground floor to tell
the Elevator Starter what a Bright
Fellow the Operator was, so he talked
to the Operator all the way down about
how the Operator saved his life, and
the Operator was so tickled to think
he had done a good deed that he didn't
see some of the signal lights and he
PASSED the Superintendent of the
Building who was waiting on the
fourth floor, and the Superintendent
discharged him for his negligence and
the Starter said the once Boy was a
Liar and was trying to help a careless
Slob hold his Job. and it certainly is
Tough trying to please every one when
you're an Elevator Operator.

 Sure I do," she answered. College courses, and all that kind of thing they're good stuff, all right, but they make some awful nice boys-real live boys, you know-into some awful dead ones. My father says about the best education is to learn to live with In your income, pay your debts and give the other fellow a chance to do the same. They don't all learn that at college. Then there's the things you do, just like you were born to it, that they couldn't do to save their lives.

Vic works in downtown drug store. The other day an elderly woman per plexed him when she gave him news paper clipping and asked him if he had any of that. He read:
