Under It they will not be saloons by any means: ; In other places some druggists have found to their grief that local option prohibi tion means trouble for the man who wishes to sell liquor from his store. Just a few days ago Judge Crawford fined a man 1400 anil costs for such a trick. ' BREEZE FROM "HI' SHAY "liast year the corn crop was' 3. 653,732,000 bushels, and It was valued at 1350,000,000. Secretary Wilson says that the breweries used less than i per, cent; that would make 51,000, 0U0 bushels; and at SO cents a bushel that would be about J25.000.000. There are about 80,000,000 people In the United States. This gives about 27 cents per capita. Then we havo sold out to tho whisky business for 27 cents apiece the price of a pound of butter, or a dozen of egps. We are the cheapest gang this side of hell, If we will do this kind of business. Never a Lie so Hhw k. "Now, listen: Last year the income of tho United States government and tho cities and towns, and counties from the whisky business I am going to be liberal was- 250,000,000. Well. you 'say that Is a lot of money. Lis ten! Last year the worklngmen spent 1, 400,000,000 for drink. It cost $1, 200,000,000 to cover tho Judlelaj ma chinery. In other words, the whisky business cost us Inst year 2, GOO, 000, 000. I will subtract that dirty, stink ing, rotten 1250,000.000 which we got. and It leaves two billion, three hun dred and fifty million dollars In ftivor of knocking tho whlxky business out purely on a money basis. And, listen! Buy, !at year wc spent six billion for our paupers and criminals In the United Stales, and B2 per cent of our criminals arc whisky-made, nnd 75 per cent of our paupers are whlsky mado. An Insult to I'arincrH, "But," says tho whisky fellow, "we would lose trade." Tou arc a dirty, black-hearted liar. I am a furnicr. I was born nnd raised on a firm. I have the stink of the barnyard on me todny. And when you say that you Insult tho bent rin ses of people on Goi's dl;t." TI;o CitrMS of Owl on It. "But. I tell you. ti e curse of Go-, Is on the saloon. LcKis'.aturca are Ick Islstlng against t decent society' Is barring It out. . The fraternal broth erhoods are kicking It out. The Ma sons, and tho Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias, and the A. O. IT. V. are closing their doors, und B.iyinic to the whisky-seller: 'Get out;- and don't you wrlgijle your dirty cut,caR Into our lodge." " This Is true of all tho self-respecting; men of all the lodpre. The lodge are meant to be the place where true md elevating fraternity can 'be taught und practiced, and It has been discov ered that true fraternity cannot be t;un;ht nor practiced by a drunkard. i PAINT AND WALL t PAPER STORE ft i t ,1 PAINTING AND PAPER HANGING Staniels Sl Bu'gg 1420 ADAMS AVENUE La Grand, Oregon Phono Red 1921 WE ARE OUR NEW LUMBER AUMtftl ..A...ttttt.t """VII will be sold at reduced prices.
