PREMIER DECLARES

QUEBEC, Que.-The province of
Quebec, after months experience as
the greatest liquor dealer in Canada,
has accomplished the following re-
suits, according to Premier L. A.
Taschereau:
Stopped bootlegging.
Cut down drunkenness.
Made liquor vendors understand
the law will be enforced.
Earned profit which will be spent
on education and highway improve
ment.
Attracted thousands of American
tourists and started the most pros
Eperous summer in Quebec's history
Taschereau declared the liquor
business is so well handled that tour
lists are crowding into Quebec prov
ince in preference to othre places.
Furthermore, the city of Quebec dry
under local option, is being avoided
| by travellers who turn back to Mon
treal, which, is wet.
Merchants in Quebec City are beg
| ging to have the new liquor law ap-
| piled there, he said.

"AuntS" Wanted

There is a growing demand for
"aunts" to escort schoolboys and
girls who are passing through Lon
don On their way to and from
school for vacations. American
visitors are also keen on securing
the services of "aunts' Tor sight
