YOU KNOW
I *VE BEEN THINKING, . , • .
Some time ago a survey was
made by the "Liquor Board" at*
Washington, D, C, and later
released some startling fig
ures that we might consider
for just a moment. With
about 45 cents worth of corn
that a distiller uses he gets
four gallons of t&iskey that
retails for $15*80, Of which
the former gets 45 cents, the
government gets $4,40, the
transporting company gets 80
cents. the manufacturer gets
$4.00, the drayman gets 15
cents, the retailer gets $7,
the customer gets drunk, the
.consumer also gets expelled
from society, the children
get rags, the family gets
discontentment, the politi
cians get votes, and when the
preachers speak about this
the unconverted get mad at
the preacher, and he gets a
bad name.
Some day they are going to
turn over a new leaf, don't
you think they need a whole
new book?
A thought for the week:
More people have been run
down by gossip than by auto
mobiles.
