 day morning at hotel in this city. Messages of Confidence.
 ! Hundreds of messages of condo

found a ready market in those places as soon as prohibition went into effect. Washington has also been a steady user of white mule for long time. New York, it is said, is just beginning to acquire taste for it, but the market there is growing, despite the competition of imported stuff. Moreover, white corn whiskey, while terrible thing at it's worst, is by no means un- palatable at it's best. There is no reason why the moonshiner's field of activity should not widen, as he learns how to cater to the better trade.
 Perhaps next this infant indus try will have it's lobby in Washing ton, and will cooperate with the Anti Saloon League for legislation to prevent the importation of li- quor. White mule is 100 per cent American, so it must be good.
