Mr.. Fowler, whose mother, Mrs.
Mary Fowler, and his three brothers
and four sisters reside at 1881 Valley
place southeast, was born in this city
and was educated in the District
grammar schools. He is a graduate
Of Drew Seminary. He was associate
superintendent or the Metropolitan
district of the Anti-Saloon League in
New York city for several years.
During the past few weeks Mr..
Fowler has been accompanying liquor
officers on raids in Buffalo. He has
often gone into saloons as a private
citizen and purchased liquor over the
bar for the purpose of obtaining evil
dence of illegal sales OF liquor. He
has directed nearly every liquor RAID
that has been conducted in Buffalo.
Because of his activities he has re-
ceived hundreds of threatening letters
from John Barleycorns adherents.
He also received several boxes OF
choice candy, which was examined by
chemists and found to contain poison.
However, Mr.. Fowler does not in
tend to change his point of view on
the dry issue. In letter 10 his
mother he states that he intends 10
keep on investigating and raiding all
speak easies," "holes in the wall,
blind tigers" and other places where
liquor is illegally sold.

Pc. STORE TO
CLOSE DOORS
Directors Say Cooperative Ven
ture No Longer Useful-mrs.
BurIeson a Patron.

me Postoffce Department store,
pioneer Of the cooperative buying
movement in the Government de-
partments here, is preparing to close
its doors, and with the liquidation
of it's stock, Mrs. Albert 5. Burleson.
wife of the Postmaster General, must
look elsewhere to do her shopping
for the Burleson table.
CLAIM USEFULNESS GONE.
While the directors OF the store de-
clare they are closing because the
store has outlived its usefulness, 1t
is reported in the department that
Mr.. Burleson has requested a discon-
tinuance because of his desires 10
leave the building in the same con-
dition as he found 1t when he took
charge eight years ago.
The store now occupies considerable
space on the first floor, through
which the incoming official might be
Inconvenience IL he desired to make
other arrangements.
Mrs. Burleson was almost a daily
customer in the store. Not only dii
she buy groceries for her hom". but
she made many purchases for chart
table institutions. The Postmaster
General was also frequently seen ct
the counter.
OPERATED FOUR YEARS.
This store was the first of a string
of stores in the departments. 1t has
been in operation about four years
and unlike other stores OF its kind
is the only one to close without any
indebtedness.
While other stores charged mem
bership fee of IS, with the promise
that this would be returned when the
member wished to withdraw. the Post
Office store, charged only 81 to es-
tablish a buying fund.
The finances Of the store are in the
very best shape and not one cent
will be lost by the investors.
The business of the Post Office Store
has totaled as high as 100000 In a
single year. At the present rate OF
patronage sales this year perhaps
would amount to less than $4,000.
The store had a decided advantage
over other cooperative places in
that 1t had the use of direct parcel
post routes, through which eggs, vdy-
etables and poultry were brought in
daily from the rural districts.

"And maybe those blind folks who

odies, whistles an excellent obligato."
What sort of tunes do the blind
folks like?" was asked.
STEPHEN FOSTERS SONGS.
Now that's a hard question to an
swcr, for they simply love every Sc
lection given. But the songs which
find the greatest responsive chords
are those of stephen Foster. They
are also fond of war songs, and
whistle and sing over There with
great gusto."
Mrs. Kincheloe said she has been
