How PROHIBITION RUINED | THE STATE OF KANSAS. The editor of the Wichita(Kan.) ‘Beacon tells the Distillers Associa- tion how Prohibition has ruined Kansas as follows: “The grape juice industry is not the only thing ruined by prohibition in Kansas. In fact, pro- hibition has killed about every indus- try in Kansas except the raising of wheat and corn, and alfalfa and fruit and litestock and potatoes and peas jand cabbage and garden sass and chickens and ducks #nd geese and horses and mules and blooded cattle. It busted up quite all of ou. flourishing saloons and beer gardens and paralysz- ed many of our most prominent gam blers. It has absolutely killed the bar tenders’ union. When once the thriv- ing saloon sent the clamorous odor 68 its prosperity out upon the sidewalks and clear across the streets ‘we find nothing but shoe ‘stores, drygoods stores, meat markets, clothing stores grocery stores and other sordid ac- tivities of an unhappy people. Where once you saw long strings of men on Saturday night ‘g6ihg joyfully into the rooms where the doors were closed securely, where there was sawdust on the floor and a merry crowd at the mahogany bay, treating all around, and a man ‘could get his salary check cash ed and spend it all right there on his tember 21—22—23—24, 1915 CLASS A (HORSES) Percheron— Bittner, 1st. $10; Irvin #H.

Bissell at Elk Lick. “In ‘spite of Suffragists’ assertions to the. contrary—Anti-Suffragists ev- erywhere are’ earnest women who are working hard for the practical good of the family and home—and are not waiting: until women get the ballot to use: their inflience towards the betterment of conditions generally. - “Contrary to the oft repeated as- sertion that anti-suffragists are seek- ing the support of the liquor interests exactly the contrary is the case. For years suffragists have been assidu- ously courting the brewers, brewery workers and their affiliated interests. Susan B. Anthony, ‘25 years ago, ap- pealed: to the brewers for help for the suffrage cause. Crystal Eastman Benedict, when a paid suffrage work- er in Wisconsin during the campaign there, made earnest efforts to secure the support of the Milwaukee brew- ers, assuring them that woman suff- rage wohld be better for their inter- ests since all the suffrage states were wet (as they were at that time). In the Montana rampaign the suffragists would not allow the W. C. T. U. to par ticipate in their demonstrations or march in their parades, so fearful the liquor dealers.—Adv.

NEW BUILDING T0 BE OPENED E. L. Donges Moving Into His Fine New Meat Market Just Completed. Apartment Above With the Two Stcres Below. On Saturday, Mr. E. L. Donges will have his opening in his new up-to-date quarters in the Donges block, erect- ed by his father, Mr. George Donges. The building is a solid brick struct- ure, artistically and substantially built and reflects much credit upon the owner. It is located at the corner of Centre street and Meyers avenue. There are two commodious store rooms on the first floor and two apart- ments on the second floor. The room to be occupied by the meatmarket is at the upper side of the building and is without doubt one of most finely finished and thoroughly equipped rooms for the purpose to be found anywhere not excepting those of our large cities. In the front from’ a fine cement pavement, one step of elevation is necessary to enter the Within 2 few days. i market. The entrance is flanked on each side with large display windows of display plate glass 188 inches by in” the East End hotel, Cumberland | inches with marble slab base and tiled with fine piece work and the wainscoting is of tile. The walls and ceiling have 7 coats of enamel plas- tering, and all the fugnishings are of marble shelves and counters so that the whole room can be cleaned by the use of a hose.The refrigerator is of such capacity that it requires two and one-half ‘tons of ice to fill it. The whole market is a strong invi- tation from its sanitary and neat and cleanly condition for one to deal there It is a big advertisement for this line of business and the proprietor, Mr. E. L. Donges is deserving of much cred- i for his enterpfise in giving the peo- ple of Meyersdale such a superior meatmarket. The opening is on Sat- urday LINEN SHOWER The C. E. N.
