DRY PROSECUTIONS
SET 1O-YEAR MARK
1863 Persons in Police Court
Last Month Convicted or
Held Over.

Prohibition enforcement machinery
enjoyed what is said to have been the
most successful month in 10 years In
November at Police Court, where prac-
tically all of 168 persons tried were con-
victed or held for the action of the
grand jury and Police Court Jury trials
David A. Hart and James r. kirk
land. assistant United States attorneys
In charge of prosecution of persons ar
rested under the prohibition law, re-
port that ID persons were convicted by
Jurtes. Some of these people were found
guilty on as many as five counts each
Only nine regular jury days were given
over to trials of this nature. This
shows almost 100 per cent improvement
over any previous month.
Two Jury Gases Lost.
Hart and Kirkland report that only
two jury cases we're lost during the
month, and in two other instances the
jury failed to agree n verdictS and the
persons will be tried again later. Only
such small percentage of cases were
lost, despite the fact that some of them
were several years old. The prosecutors
attribute this success to much improved
cooperation on the part of the police,
both in court and in arranging wit
neSSeS and evidence" on the outside of
court.
Fifty-one defendants were held for
action of the grand jury after about 80
of these had received preliminary hear
ings at Police Court. This is by far the
largest number that has been held in
any month since the JoneS-Stalker law
went into effect, last March. The pre-
vious record was 40 persons. This mark
was established in October, which was
twice the number held in any one of
the other months. Hart said that this
indicates that the arrests made by po-
lice have been more legal than hereto
fore, as the number of arrests in No
vember was not as great as in some of
the other months.
Thirty-Seven Pleas of Guilty.
Thirty-seven defendants pleaded guilty
of charges placed against them in Po-
lice Court and were subsequently con-
victed and sentenced, while 26 persons
who pleaded not guilty and demanded
jury trials have not been tried. The
first figure Is much above the average
number, while the latter is considerably
below. according to Hart.
Nineteen cases were nolle pressed by
Hart and Kirkland for various reasons,
the most common being illegal entry
into private quarters on the part of
police and prohibition agents. While
this appears to be sizeable figure, Hart
points out that this is a much smaller
number than usual. The chief prose-
cutting attorney says that police at last
seem to be learning that searches can
not be made on disorderly house war
rants or arrest warrants. Only eight
cases were dismissed by court judges
In two of these the defendants died be-
fore they were brought to trial.
Several Of the persons convicted by
juries we're found guilty Of maintaining
nuisanceS as well as possession OF
whisky. In most instances the premises
owned and operated by these persons
are regarded as "Speakeasies" and prob
ably will be "padlocked."

The time Is coming when the blast
will to our lives new trouble lend: the
mercury, descending fast, more bitter
weather will portend. The winds begin
to wall and shrek where iate they
used to sigh and Groom; the day Is
dark, the skies are bleak, there1l be all
kinds of storms eftSoon. hope that
every ones been wise, providing for the
time Of stress, that every larder's
stocked with pies, to stave on hunger
and distress. hope that all who read
these runes were busy in the Summer
glow, that they might have a store
of prunes, what time the world Is deep
in snow. The prudent people don't
forget that there's Winter every year,
when tempests are the safest bet, and
days are cold and nights are drear.
The Springtime may be soft and sweet,
inviting idleness and song: but prudent
people think of sleet, which will be evi-
dent ere long. The Summer may in
full shade; but prudent people think Of
SHOWS and bills for coal which must
be paid. The Autumn hints, Forget
the cost and motor by the woods and
lakes; but prudent people think of
frost, which will be here in seven
shakes. The Winter comes, the storms
aspire to break all records up to date;
the prudent ones sit by the fire and
keep their sunny smiles on straight.
What boots it II the tempest yells,
what shoes it If the snow is deep? They
sit in comfort, wearing bells, and have
a snug, warm place to sleep. The
foolish people sadly wind to soup house
doors when Winters here; the prudent
people keep in mind that there's q
Winter every year. WALT MASON.

A GOOD TOWN.

Put a peg of prosperity into your community by staying with it. Always greet your neighbors with a grasp of con- fidence. Criticize in the spirit of Godspeed. Say a good word if it hurts. Remember that those who insist on hanging themselves will do it if given enough rope.
 Give your neighbor a right to an opinion as long as he keeps it to himself. Discuss questions involving your better welfare instead of arguing with them. Apply the Golden Rule regard less of consequences. You will feel better and besides are setting a good example.
 Let's have more handshakes and arm in arm conferences with a good will parting. It adds to that days events and does more than any other thing to make a good town.

JOYS OF LIVING.

Who has not wished that he had lived in some remote and happy time? The magnificence of Rome, the glory of Greece, the golden chariots, the ala baster vases and the ivory chairs of Tutankhamen fasci- nate and enthrall. Looking about upon a sick and weary world, nerve-shattered and hungry, it is not difficult to imagine how pleasant life must have been in an easier, golden day.
 Yet, if we had been living in the days of the pampered Pharaohs, the vast majority of us would have been digging the irrigation ditches, sweating over the great stones that went into the pyramids, of--if we had been particularly clever perhaps hammering the gold that went into the ubiquitous statues of the king. The com forts of life were only at the top in 1900 B. c. and even the hope for improvement had not percolated to the bottom. There may be some consolation
