LIQUOR FOES TO FIGHT
FOR DRY WORLD NOW
League and Other
Bodies Say Work Is Not
Done

Now that national prohibition has been
won, autirum organizations plan to
spread their "dry" campaign to include
the rest of the world
The Rev Homer w, Topc Phladcl-
phia district superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, made this announce
ment when asked as to whether the
organization was to continue exist.
"Why, our work has just begun" he
continued. "The biggest job of the
league and all the affiliated organiza-
lions is to spread the gospel of prohi-
5ition all over the world Arti-liquor
men Of foreign countries have asked us
10 send them trained workers and litera-
ture to make their nations safe for the

After all. this prohibition movement
Is only part of "A general movement ior
the Improvement of the living conditions
of all mankind. In my judgment, we
are on the eve of the greatest work for
the good of humanity that has been
undertaken since the medieval crusades."
J. Day Brownley, general counsel or
the league, explained the tasks imme-
diately confronting the organization
before it swings into the worldwide
"dry" movement.
"'rhe first job on our hands" said he,
"is to work for the enactment of dry
legislation. both by the nation and tine
States. Then we will throw the entire

will be. but will, undoubtedly, approx
innate the amount OF the 4th Liberty
Loan. 1t may be fifteen or twenty
per cent less, but in any event, it will
require an extraordinary effort on the
part of all the banks, newspapers, and
Liberty Loan workers to put this Fifth
and last drive across.
To those who so nobly and patriotic
ally subscribed in former drives to
$1,000 and $4,000 bonds, that neees-
sity compels to dispose of same-the
committee wishes to urge that such
sales be mace only through The local
banks. This is the proper channel for
disposirg Of bonds. and we believe
that all bank officials stand ready to
help to the beet of their ability. or
course. II is more direct benefit to the
government If everyone so arranges
his affairs, as to hold bonds rather
than sell them. There are, however, a
number of cases where bonds have to
be converted into cash to meet current
obligations. and in this event, the
bank or banker is the proper channel
to get the market cash value of same.
1t is not an easy task to contemplate
raising our quota in the coming Vic
tory Loan, but this is part of the price
of peace. We have no doubt Prowers
county will raise its full quota. All
patriotic citizens should commence to
make plans to meet this new obliga-
tion which will be upon us now in a
short time.
