made me statement tnat in states

liquor was sold than in "w et’
states, and that in prohibition
staies crime was rampant. The
only solution of the liquor problem
in tne view ot the speaker, was
regulation, because state wide
proiiibitron is never backed by
puohc sentiment, and therefore
must be a failure. The speaker

magnates or appealing to tne an-
tagomsims of tne proletariat was

ies that regulated the sale o f

Mrs. Bernard Ortman, who re­

this city, died Saturday from
summer complaint. Funeral ser­

untimely taking off of their
youngest child.
Artisans Have Royal Time
K. P. Hall, Tuesday evening,
resounded with the joyous laugn-
ter and gay sallies of a particul­
arly bright and scintillating gath­
ering of "Artistans Perfect.”
Mrs. E. W. Chandler, past-grand
master, was the guest of the eve­
ning, and right royally was she
entertained. Mrs. Chas. Hines,
assisted by Mrs. W. B. Haines,
had charge of the evenings en­
tertainments and presented a
varied and interesting program
which met with universal approv­
al. Haskel Perrin and Miss
Goldie Peterson rendered several
vocal numbers to the great grat­
ification of those present. Miss
Ruth Thomas was accompanist.
Miss Genevieve Courtney gave
her inimitable readings to great
applause.
After refreshments had been
disposed of, the balance of the
evening was passed in the play­
ing of various games, and at a
late hour the assemblage dispers­
ed, heartily satisfied with the af­
fair in its entirety.
