HEARD ABOUT TOWN

PreWitt Willoughby, one of the very
best coal men in the business, ha,;
agreed to take the road again for h:a
Did love, the Atlas Coal and Coke Co,
IF Chicago. His headquarters viii
be Richmond sand he will travel ovcG
considerable of this territory. The
mines are located in the Benham sec
ton Of Harlan county. The Willough-
by coal business here will have t;c
same constant and attentive supervis-
ion of Hubert Willoughby while hi
brother is out on the road.
The Daily Register got the impre.;-
sion that Dr.. Homer w. Carpenter,
pastor Of the First Christian church,
was going to leave Saturday for thai
big interdenOminational conference at
st. Louis. However, he lidn't plan
to leave until Monday, and as the
paper said Saturday that he was leav-
ing that day, the popular sky pilo1
came mighty near having to preach
to empty benches on Sunday morning.
A few Of the faithful who evidently
don't believe everything they see III
the papers, dropped in on him, and
The highways and byways were invad-
ed with the result that the congreg;.-
tion finally assumed fairly respect
able proportions. However, this pa
per's innocent and regrettable error
IN fixing DR.. Carpenters schedule,
proved to him and lot of others thu :
the columns of the Daily Register are
read rather thoroughly-yOu might
say, religiously-by the good-that is,
the church-going-people of Rich
mond, anyway.
That little hog that Prohibition Of
ficer Samuels seized in the RAID he
made on Webb and Bicknell's wagon
Sunday night, was grunting nightly
when he was brought back through
town along with the other loot. He
must have had a premonition that he
wasn't going to get chance to eat all
that still slop from those SO bags of
meal that the two boys had with them
to use in their first class little still.
T. y. Collins was standing on the
street as the procession passed up to
the government building and folks
were remarking on the hogs loud
grunting.
"Can't you tell what that pigs say
ing?" asked the popular Squire.
"Why's saying right along: 'Ruinc,
ruint, ruint'"

MUST DISPOSE OF
 ALL BAR FIXTURES

Madison, Wis. July 19-Wisconsin has taken upon itself the task of getting rid of all bars, fixtures, screens, stalls and other accoutre- ments which have gone to make up a saloon atmosphere. The order for their eXtermination is carried in a prohibition enforcement bill recently passed by the legislature
 The law requires that mo person having a license for the sale of non intoxicating beverages to be sold for consumption upon the pren1aees shall maintain a standing bar Of counter of any description at which any such drinks Or beverages are consumed.
 NO booth, stall. or other enclos- ure of any kind in or connected with such place or room shall be main tained,' the law further provides. It orders in addition that the windows and doors of any such place or room blinds, paint, or other article so that clear and unobstructed view of said place or room from the outside may at all times be had.'
 Thousands of Wisconsin saloons 1000 or more in Milwaukee alone, will be affected
 All must go this month, according s1oner, who has given the saloon keepers 30 days to comply with the law He says he intends to enforce every feature of it.
 Court battle is to follow as soon as the first arrest is made. propri- etors of Milwaukee bar-rooms have said They reported they would at in the Supreme Court. Some an nounced they plan in the meantime to evade the law by one method of ind1rection or another.

NEW BOOZE POLICY MAY
 PROVE AID TO BOOTLEGGERS

Washington, July 19-BooZe hunt CTS along the bootleg trail, ever alert for some encouraging sign, hail with satisfaction the 'truIe of reason poli- cy promulgated by Roy Haynes, new dry law chief. Haynes policy was not framed for bootIeggerS benefit, but is aimed to lessen some of the restrictions over legitimate users of intoxicating liquors.
 But it carries much cheer to the ranks of the illicit handlers of high voltage beverages. Haynes, under the new regime, will be forced to deal business men and concerns entitled to withdraw and use whiskey and other liquors for commercial purposes This moderate relaxation away from the very rigid standard establishment by the former regime may open up new sources for bootleggerS.
 Although dry chiefs fully realize the dangers, they take the position that legitimate enterprise must not be too severely hampered- com missioner Haynes has promised rep resentatives of large drug interests that his policy will be to facilitate and encourage enterprise by making it less difficult for them to obtafn liquors.
 Thus broader policy toward 1egft- mate users of antoxicants in the arts and sciences contenplates the com pIete redraft1ng of a code or rules which have held manufacturers and other users of liquors to emharraszfng limits, Tho removal of many of the Iegeer, who may find it possible to return to the old method of securing diversion of liquor supplies legaIfy withdrawn from bond

Washington July 19 Wild dreams of bureau chiefs for extension and heavier spending of public funds have been sadly shattered These same bureau chiefs are today failing over each other in a stampede for economy. The cuts in public expen- dttures are to be real. For once in inc history of the Government the saving habit is being inculcated among thoe who disburse the Treas ury funds And they are getting the habit in a rush. They had to under the bold economy strokes made by tbe dynamic Budget Director, Charles G. Dawes.
 In every Government bureau in the thirtv or more executive and tnde- pendent establishments budget off1- cers are pruning down their estf- mates for another year. They also are wading into carefully laid plans for expenditures this fiscal year to eff feet large savings. Before August l. when tho Budget Bureau expects 10 complete estimates, to be sent later to Congress, covering Government meney needs for another fiscal year ending June 30, 192s a saving of onot less than o,0oO,000 in Govern ment expenses will be shown, Of ficia1s who are more optimistic pre- diet that before General Dawes hn- ishes his job a cut in general gov ernment eut1ays of ,ooo'ooo.ooo a year will be possible.
