The State of New York Is not
averse to stock speculation man
las. It's st~ock-transfer for the
month of October this year
amounted to s4,S84,427. For the
period of July LIST to October 31st,
inclusive, stock-transfer taxes
amounted to $15,9 1895, 348-almost
twice as much as for the like per-
iod of 1928. Play the game long

and voted for Mckinley" And
they're about as tickle as ever
when it ONE to voting.
The fellow who was able to get
plenty margins did just what ev-
erybody says a fellow will do if
he gets plenty of rope.

been delivered by the Great Falls
Tribune. 1t had liquor in yer 300
speakeasies in the city Of Great
Falls analysed. Less than 16 per
cent of the stuff was fit to drink;
ninety-one per cent contained
poisons. So-called imported" liq-
were "made-in-America". The
analysis was made by a registered
chemist who reported that use Of
the stuff would produce paralysis
and general decay of the physical
and mental qualities. Most fellows
drink it for that very purpose.
They like to get paralyzed. This

IS just a hint to have holiday
whoopee spirits analysed to know
whether or not the stuff will par
You may be wasting your
time drinking it.
