WESTERVILLE, Ohio U.N.S0
The founder of the Anti-Saloon
League shakes his head sadly and
regretfully when he tells why the
temperance organization eStab-
lished it's national publication Of
fices in this village of $500 popu-
lation.
1t is sorrow for the weakness
of his fellowmen that he is try
ing to show.
Says the founder, DR.. Howard
Hyde Russell, who is now II
years old:
"YOu must remember there
was much printing to be done
for our temperance cause.
"In those days printers were
notorious in their liking for
alcohol.
"And so we kept up our Of
fices down here to get away
from the saloons; to keep the
printers away from the saloons,
really"
And that is why Westerville,
the "dry capital of America" "
is located IL miles away from
the main railroad lines of the
State of Ohio, greatly to the
regret of persons having business
there.

Well, they'd have to.

Louisa went to her desk,

her lawyers-some one would be

fancied, to Joyce-"to my

Not now. Joyce was nothing

from her, as Lennox had been.

up from the pavements. There
