MFRS. p. A. Laird, a lady real
Nl estate dealer of Detroit, writes,
"a Florida real estate Company
says you have purchased from them
a lake front lot on the eastern shore
Of Lake Okeechobee and they are
using this as selling point. Is it
true?"
No, it isn't. This writer has
bought nothing on Lake .Okeechobee,
but is informed by his ancient friend,
W. J. Corners, owner of the Buffalo
Courier. that a deed for Lake
Okeechobee lot has been sent as
tribute; also that as you sit on this
lot you can catch fish in the front
yard and shoot ducks in the back
yard. This writer hasn't seen the
lot; can't guarantee the ducks or
the fish, has complete confidence in
Mr.. Corners, but does not advise
anybody to buy anything.

THREE months ago many young
L gentlemen concentrated massive
brains on the choice of straw hat
for the summer. Yesterday, the
straw hat season died officially, and
those young minds, after a good long
rest, went to work again deciding on
the shape, color and tilt of felt hat.
Next spring, after a rest through
the winter, the same mental task will
be courageously undertaken. And
there you have the intellectual life
history of many in the United States.

Wheeler Attacks
"Dry" Survey by
Moderation League

Washington, Nov. 29-(AP)-Tlle
report of the Moderation League.
Inc, on its survey of conditions in
several hundred cities, was attacked
today from two prohibition sectors in
the capital.
Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League. issued a
statement reiterating his charge,
made last Sunday might, when the
Moderation League announced its
conclusion that "The Volstead act
has failed utterly to accomplish tenn
perance and sobriety," that the or
ganiZation was born and reared in
Canada where it was trained as a
"decoy by the liquor element"
The board of temperance, prohibit
ton, and public morals of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. also issued a
statement, saying the report merely
showed that "the propaganda against
the law, the sneers from the stage
read from the comic supplements
have their effect-the good of prohi-
bition in curbing drunkenness being
nearly overcome"
But for prohibition" the board ar
gued, this country would be today
in the miserable financial and indus
trial position of the European couu-
tries which still believe that the
Moderation League Is right in its
Contentio.. that the makers of beer
and wine should have a monopoly OF
the trade in intoxicating liquors.
