Judging from appearances it isn't
so hard to fool some of the people at
least part of the time. The writer
was out running down a news item
this morning. He found it necessary
or convenient to go into one of the
thirst quenching emporiums tiiat
have replaced the saloons in Alli
ance. Then; war. an elderly gentle
man, probably a farmer or ranch
man, and the statement is made with
due respect to all concerned. He
had wandered into the emporium
and was busy putting away a scoop
of the kind of suds they were dis
pensing there. It looked like beer
had the same color and there was
plenty of foam -but there wns abso
lutely not drop of alcohol in it. The
gentleman downing the suds ordered
up another Bcoop. He winked. Then
he ordered another. He thought he
was putting something over. Those
who had congregated there were
"wise" and proceeded to help the
visitor get a beer stew from liquid
that contained not one drop of alco
hol. After devouring a number of
big glasses the visitor departed to
await the act inn of the suds Possi
bly he imagines he got the real
stuff and it would not be surprising
to hear it reported that Alliance was
still in the business.
