to define intoxicating liquors was at
tacked by Representative Dyer, Re
publican, of Missouri, who declared
that the treasury department never
had ruled that 2 3-4 per cent beer was
Intoxicating. The question, he argued,
was a matter of fact to be determined
by the courts. ?
Representative Steel, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania asserted that constitu

Representative Currie, Republican,

American troops should be maintained
on the Rhine during that time and in
all probability the men there could
not be brought home and mustered out

Those favoring the repeal of war

Busy Traffic Along Mexican Border.
Police Watch Ylsitors Closely.
El Paso, Texas, July 1.—Bootlegging
has assumed widespread proportions
in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, across
the border from bouglas, Arizona, ac-
.coiding lo, Americans who have laves-
tigated liquor conditions in the border
state. Open saloons are prohibited by
Sonora state laws, but little or no ef
fort has been made by the authorities
to murtail illicit liquor traffic, they
say.
Cognizance of the situation has
been taken by the authorities, how
ever, to the extent that a bill has
been introduced in the state chamber
of deputies permitting the establish
ment of open saloons for the sale of
light wines and beer under strict state
supervision. The bill purposes limit
ing the number of saloons in accord
ance with population and the payment
of high state and mnnicipal licenses.
Well informed Mexicans believe that
saloons will return under the pro
posed new law as they contend that
while Gen. P. Elias Calles, military
governor of Sonora, is an advocate of
prohibition he would much prefer the
legaizing of the liquor traffic with the
Consequent revenue to combating the
increasing number of bootleggers.
The liquor situatioii in Agua Prieta
is a troublesome one to the better
class of Sonora Mexicans and resi
dents of Douglas and other border
towns. It is pointed out that Agua
Prieta offers easy acceps to any one in
Douglas who desires- to obtain liquor.
At the present time certain Mexicans
with a great show of friendship invite
Americans across the line to visit the
bootleggers.
The Mexican policemen watch all
visitors closely and, it is reported;
make a practice of arresting AmerW
cans when their conduct becomes bois
terous and robbing them of theiy
money and other valuables. Should
the Americans protest there is always
the alternative' of a real arrest and a
prison sentence or a heavy fine. Some
observers here say the reopening of
the saloons will do much toward mak
ing a bad situation worse.
The money you save saves you worry,
affords you peace of mind when you
contemplate the future, gives you a stake
in your community, .earns money for
you and makes you a better citizen.
There is nothing that you can do that
will be of greater help to • yourself and
your community than the systematic
saving and depositing of money. This
bank offers you a safe place for your
savings while tjiey work for you.

He would have a McDofigall Kitchen Cabinet to save his heels,, as
he saves them at business with moderfTaid'.
He would have everything compactly grouped in a McDougall,
inches near—not yards away on scattered hooks and distant shelves. For
by similar principle he conserves energy at business.
He would have a McDougall because it offers more than a finely
built, solidly united’cabinet of oak with joints all mortised instead of nailed
or glued—never to wobble, creak or crack despite kitchen heat or steam.
He would have a McDougall because it offers more than advanced
perfection of design. He would expect the latter because the first kitch
en cabinets were McDougalls and because McDougalls have blazed the
trail ever since, as witnessed by almost all improvements appearing first on
McDougalls. ‘
We have just placed on display an assortment of these McDougall
Kitchen Cabinets and we axe not afraid to say that there is no better made
than the McDougall. Come in and see them.
