TAL PRO LAWS
DUE TO FAIL
ills May Die By Default
In Congress
t’nitxl Prea,
WASHINGTON,' Feb. 17.—
)und with the red tape of poli-
:s, vital prohibition legislation
iw pending seems certain of de-
at by default when Congress ad-
urns two weeks from tomorrow.
^—The government medicinal
liskey bill has been burled by a
ouse committee; the bill to put
ohllllon agents under civil
rvlce has been languishing for
arly a year on the State calen-
ir; ami the prohibition cua-
ms reorganization bill has been
emaciated that it will hear
cogntion to few. A bill to add
ore enforcement provisions to
e Volstead act, passed by tho
iiuse last session, is pending In
e Senate.
The failure of the general
'ro" legislation tightening pro-
bltlon enforcement is expected
have an Important Influence
>on the coming presidential
mpalgn.
Altho antis are not entirely re-
onsible for defent of the lega-
tion, they are elated and look
rward with eagerness to ex-
‘Cted future developments. The
ory behind their opposition to
e dry legislation is this:
If the bills which Assistant Sec-
tary of the Treasury Andrews
vs are needed fall of enactment,
ndrewK may resign. The antis
ould look upon his resignation
another blow at prohibition.
Furthermore, they could say. If
e bills failed, that the pro Con-
ess was responsible, sln«\e both
noses are overwhelmingly pro.
Thus they could avoid responsi-
bly and reap benefits. It Is fig-
red.
Judge on Grill
Judge Ole A. stolen of .Madison,
M In., became widely known for
Ills reform crusades. Now It la
charged that he solicited loans
from bootleggers, and the su-
preme court of Wisconsin has or-
dered an investigation looking to
Ills disbarment and removal from
the bench.
A late feminine fad in Paris Is
ie tinting of the finger nails in
ands of three colors.

Low Prices and Ward Quality Make Your Savings Double
A low price means nothing without quality. It takes
quality—serviceability—and low price to make a bargain.
Ward quality stands for satisfaction in actual use. It
stands for serviceability. It means the kind of godos
that stand inspection and use. We do not sell “cheap
goods.” We sell good goods. Our prices are low—
but they are not “price baits.” We never sacrifice
quality—serviceability—to make a low price.
You buy something every day. This store therefore
offers you a saving every day. Before you buy, shop
in our Retail Store—compare prices. Remember our
guarantee of satisfaction—“Your money back if any-
thing does not please you."
