Pinchot Finds Philadelphia
Saloons Defiant, on Per-
sonaI Inspection.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. October Gov.
Pinchot early today personally OBJ
served the open defiance by Phila-
delphia saloons of his order to cease
business under threat of being dealt
with according to the paddock sec
ton" of the prohibition law.
On Tuesday the Governor and the
federal department of Justice issued
joint order notifying the 1900 or
more local saloons and cafes to close
and dismsntle their places within
forty-eight hours. A large force of
government agents and state police.
who served the notices on the pro-
prfetors. completed their work late
last night.
Shortly, thereafter, Gov Pinchot
made the rounds to see for himself
whether the order was being obeyed
He visited half a dozen or more
places and found them all doing a
hourishing business. The Governor
made no attempt to make purchase
Refuses Statement.
Gov. Pinchot strolIed leisurely into
the saloons and cabarets. looked
around, observed the crowds and as
leisurely strolled out. He made no
comment. He said he probably wouh
give out statement later in the day.
Did You see anything to Indicate
that the prohibition laws were being
violated?" he was asked
1T would be highly improper for
me to say anything about the situa-
ton now" he replied II will not
discuss 1t in any way"
While the governor was making his
tour of inspection bandits were busy
holding up bartender three blocks
from one of the saloons visited by
the state executive. A bartender was
seized by three men and held while
they rified the cash register of $50.
Order Needed BY Few
Apparently but few of the saloon
men have needed the closing order.
They declared that they had been
advised by Francis ]. Namely, chief
counsel for the Retail Liquor Dealers
Protective Association to continue
business as usual, but to obey the
law insofar as 1T pertained to the
sale of liquors of illegal alcoholic
content.
Mr.. Namely characterized the
dry" campaign as ''meaningless' and
said there was nothing in the law to
prohibit a man from maintaining a
saloon so long as he conforms to thct
part of the law regulating the sale
of Intoxicating beverages. Many of

THE TORCH BEARER.

An old man, going a lone high way, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the tWi- light dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man." said a fellow-pil- grim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here; You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at eveningtide? The builder lifted his old gray head. Good friend, in the path l have come" he said, "There follOWeth after me to- day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm which was as naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twi- light dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.

HEAVY SALE OF FARM TOOLS AT WETUMPKA

WETUMPKA, Ala, Jan. 29.-(Spe- cial.)-Reports from. every section of Elmore county indicate that a more extensive farming program will be put over this year than for many years past. A great many farmers throughout the county are already busy getting their lands in shape. Practically every Fillmore farmer has bought or arranged to buy a good quantity of nitrate of soda. Phos- phate will be used in connection with the nitrate.
 There has never been a time in the history of Wetumpka when imple- ments and supplies for the farm have been bought as extensively as this year. It is reported that good many farmers are buying the im- proved farm machinery and are fit- ting themselves up better than ever before to make a crop. During the past depressed conditions, farmers in trying to make crop as cheaply as possible had been forced to let their tools, blows, harness and every kind of farm machinery become prac- tically worn out or in such run down condition that new supplies had to be bought for this season. This accounts for the unprecedented sale or farm supplies.
