Az to the obedience which the woman promises, it will take some- marriage service to change that. Women have the instinct to serve. From the cradle to the grave they find joy in service and obedience. With many women obedience becomes vice.

The report for the present year show
that there was a good beginning and a
good ending but an awful hull during
the months OF June. July, August and
September. The first and last months
were slightly better than the average

in the liquor law violations during the

the past few weeks. One official just
a few weeks ago stated that there were
more speakeas!es IN Beliaire at that

administration went into office. Accord

signs Of bankruptcy. The sudden dis
