THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
ART: “Saw you at the movies last night,
Judge. That was quite a weekend that alco
holic went through, wasn’t it?”
OLD JUDGE: “Sure was, but I’m afraid
most people won’t really understand it.”
ART: "What do you mean, Judge?”
OLD JUDGE:"Simply this. That poor chap
was really a tick man...not just a drunk.
Studies by famous psychiatrists and the
medical profession show that alcoholism is
not caused by a craving for alcohol... it is
usually the result of tome deep-rooted social,
physical or emotional condition. If that fel
low had not turned to alcohol for escape,
he would have turned to something else.”
ART: “Are there many that get in that
condition, Judge?”
OLD JUDGE: “Fortunately not, Art. Sci
entists at a great university have stated that
approximately 95% of the people who drink
do so sensibly. Only 5% are immoderate at
times. In that 5% is the small number known
as alcoholics.- And the beverage distilling in
dustry which does not want a single person
to use its product immoderately, is cooper
ating fully in the solution of this problem.”

able to make enough baskets to
tie the score up. When there was
but one minute left to play the
score was 35-35, but one of the
t
Spalding boys fouled against Ed
Condon giving him one free!
throw and with Froelich making
another basket left the score 38-35
for St. Mary’s.
Froelich was high point man
for St. Mlary’s with 16, followed;
by Merriman with 14, and Pfeifer

Notice to Farmers and Stockmen
Mr. J. L. Pruden will buy your fat hogs
at highest market prices EVERY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON at the 0'Neill Livestock Mark
et, between the hours of 12 noon and 5:30
P.M. Call No. 2 any time after 11:30 A.
M. Saturdays, and get his bid. Although
all major packing plants are close by
strike, some independents are still op
erating and taking hogs—BUT FOR SAFETY
SAKE BETTER CALL FIRST BEFORE BRINGING
IN HOGS. . . . Demand was excellent for
all classes of stocker and feeder cattle
at last Tuesday's auction in Atkinson.
Prices were equal to the season's best
time. Even if the strike continues, it
should not affect the market for Stock
ers and feeders; so bring in any you
have to sell next Tuesday.... But as to
fat hogs, if the strike is still on, you
had better phone first before loading.
Call Atkinson 84, our expense. Thanksl
