Although the Capital is a mere

country, the city is asserting its

Stripped of every vestage Of

Prince in the city is hardly three

to pay his official respect to Pres

He broke bread with the Pres

John Coolidge at an informal
luncheon at the White House; and

wives at a reception immediately

The city itself has refused to
deny itself the right to see and
cheer the youthful heir to the
British throne, as he arrived at the
Union Station shortly after noon
today, and as he sped through the
streets, in an automobile, to the
executive mansion.
The station resounded with q

heard there since the arrival Of

Government RevOkes
Cassville License

Whether or not convic-
lions are obtained three Wisconsin
breweries now under fire for abusing
the privileges under which they ran,
will have their licenses to operate re-
voked. Application to that effect was
made by Clark M. Perry, federal pro-
hibition director for this state, last
week.
The breweries affected by the re-
vocation steps ars: Fort Atkinson
Brewing company, Fort Atkinson;
Northern Brewing company, Green
Bay; Cassviile Brewery, Cassville.
According to Mr.. Perry, under the
revocation order the three brewerles
will be prevented from operating I'M
til they have shown good reason why
the order should be discontinued, and
their permits regranted.
Evidence that beer manufactured
in the Fort Atkinson brewery was be-
ing taken to Chicago was uncovered
by federal dry agents a month ago
when 5000 kegs of the brew, trucks
and more than 20 members of the al
legged beer ring were rounded up at
Fort Atkinson.
One of the men taken in the raid
was Tommy" O'Donnell, Chicago
gangster and alleged beer runner.
O'Donnell with several of his men
was held to the federal grand jury
on a charge of conspiracy to violate
the dry law.

Galena Woman Passes

GALENA, Ill.-Mrs. ]. G. Baker, one
of Galena's oldest residents, quietly
observed her Goth birthday last Sat
urday by entertaining her friends at
tea. Mrs. Baker is the Oldest active
woman in the city, manages the af-
fairs of her household, keeps up with
the times, is interested in politics and
is an active member of the w. G. I. U.
She has met and entertained many
men of note at her home, 5l1 Mars

T. R. Roosevelt and H. H. Kohlsatt
Mrs. Baker became nationally known
through mention of her famous hos
pitality and good cookies in an art1-
Gle in the Saturday Evening Post
w 'itten by the late Mr.. kohlsaat 1t
being recalled how she won the
hearty favor of Roosevelt when he,
upon visit to Mrs. Bakers home,
enjoyed a batch of her home made
cookies. Mrs Baker has always been
a staunch republican and after the
election was delighted with the sue
cess of President Coolidge.
This aged lady was deeply Srieyed
upon hearing the news of the death
of H. H. Kohlsaat and quite agitated
over the fact that his body was Gre
mated. She has been a staunch
Christian woman and believer in

of which she is a member, also treats
of many kinds and scores of messages
of congratulations from near and far.
