A few years ago a man own ing a farm near Rex sold out and moved 't o Sherwood. He said his reason for choosing Sher w ood for a home in preference to Newberg was that Sherwood, with her saloons, made it easy for him to get his beer whenever he wanted it. Within the past year, one of this man’s sons died of delerium tremens in Sherwood, leaving a young wife and child almost penniless. A man who has resided in Sherwood for many years, says that town averages at least tw o deaths a year as a result o f the work o f the saloons. He says further that the bottled brand that is furnished the thirsty who g o from Newberg, is even more vile than the stuff that is handed out over the counters to home consumers. This man is not a bliever in prohibition. His plan would be to have a commission to see that nothing bat “ pare liquors” are sold. The above by w ay o f introduc tion.
