BEST OF CRD EH PREVAILS
The predict lea that Council Bluffs would
l a wet town when It went 5rjr at mid
night wss milled. But It was not wet
from the anticipated flow of boose. The
T,?ttlng came from a thick canopy of rain
ilouds. The rain fell ateadlly all eve
ning and an ordinary autumn atmnapherlo
temperature prevented the formation of
Ice. All of the bl( stocks of wet Rood
in the saloons and wholesale houses were
safely under cover.
There were few drunken men on the
streets. Tlie police were able to find
only two Intoxicated Individual during
the nlsht. The atocka In nearly all of
the saloons were exhausted during the
afternoon and there were only few
!laces open after nightfall. Lone be
fore o'clock every aaloon In the town
had cloaed Ha doora and turned out the
light. The laat place to close waa the
Grand hotel bar, which went out of busi
ness at 1:30.
Hargala Sales FlsarUb.
Bumott of bargain vales had been
widely spread and during the afternoon
There waa a tremendous rush. Automo
Ibllea were lined several dees In front
let soma of tha wholesale houses, and
IT" one appeared to ba going away empty.
(Nearly all of them were from tha coun
try, and soma of them mads Journey a of
'fifty miles. Saloons that bad offered
jfcargaln prices quickly disposed of their
'stocks, and before nightfall customers
.were offering premium prices. Numbers
jof women drove tha farm automobiles
ilnto town and did not attempt to conceal
tha purpose of their visits to tha Job
ibing houses. They carried out armaful
wf cylindrical packages and placed them
in their cam. Tha sales of one firm
during tha afternoon exceeded 11.000.
In not more than three places In the
entire eity was there stock left when
tha lid went on. The tens of thoussnds
of packages have been carried away by
individuals, who seem to be obsessed by
the fear that it was their last chance to
'get boose.
' Dealer told of Instances of men buy
ing who had not had tha stuff In their
homes for years and who never went
Into a saloon.
"It might be needed sometime when
we could not get It," was tha customary
excuse proffered. 1
Chelf of Polloa Vlen has been sdvlsed
that some men have laid In auspiciously
large stocks, even barret lots. Ha stated
last evening that ha had located the
storage points snd would gather up the
tuff at an early date. He stated em
phatically that tha whole department
would make tha aternest war on boot
loggers and that they would ba shown
no mercy,
llaadred (iia( Jabs.
The closing of the saloons puU out of
employment about 100 men. most of whom
have 'families. Less thsn I per cent of
them are drinkers. Many of them have
already arranged for other employment,
and about all of tha saloon owners have
done so. A majority of tha buildings to
ba vacated have alao been spoken for,
particularly thoae In tha business sec
tion. The exodus at the saloons cuts off
mora than one-half of tha clty'a revenue
for the general fund. Tha total appro
priation ror tha general fund this year
is $106,008. Tha aaloon licenses and floss
have provided about M.eeo. Tha le-mlll
levy, tha utmost permitted under the
state law, brings In aneut 140,000. The
deficiency must ba made up In some man
ner or the publio service reduced to
meet the depleted Income. This Is tha
yroblera that Is now up to tha olty coun
cil and tha administration that wilt be at
the head of affairs next April. There Is
no apprehension, bowaver, and the
present city administration la not worry

LONDON, Dec. Jl.-The latest and
fourth plan of the government for the
better control of the BrltUh mercantile
marina, anile StUI unrepealed, is prac
tically a dead letter.
Beginning with a aweeplng plan for the
requiettleu of the entire mercantile ma
rina the government ran through various
llsns of leaser control until It reached an
tztcemcnt whereby two committees at
shipoaners were appointed to provide for
the requisltlcnlng and licensing of British

TEMPERANCE ACT EFFECTIVE
Stringent Law Enforced Without
Excitement or Disorer in All
Parti of London.
RULES RECEIVED FAVORABLY
(Correspondence of ths Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 17.-H was not expected
that the stringent law affecting the sale
of alcoholic drinks would cause any ex
citement or disorder In the better seo
tlons of London, but In view of the pre
vious protest meetings st the Bmlthfleld
market and along the docks, ths quietness
with which the first day of tha enforce
ment paaaed In Billingsgate and other
rough quartera of tha Hast Snd proved
rather a surprise. Labor leaders had cer
tainly taken a defiant attitude toward the
Board of Control, but nothing occurred
out of tha normal.
Taking the whole of London, tha recep
tion ef tha rules haa been favorable.
When the public houses began the sale of
alcoholic drinks at the noon hour the
first day under the new regime there was
not observed any Increase in drinking
until the period closed at J: 30. Nor was
there any attempt to crowd In an un
usual number of drinks during the two
hours the bara were open In the evening.
Tha sale of temperance drinks between
tha prohibited hours was slight. In a
few quartera, where men are employed
on all-night work, certain houses have
been allowed to open for a limited time
In tha early morning.
Among the curious results of regula
tion, tha person who falls to lay In his
private stock of whisky or other spirits
before 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, win
have to spend a dry week-end, as he
must wait until Monday noon. Even in
the private rooms of a hotel, one who
treats a member of his own family to a
drink Is liable to a heavy fine. The hours
during which aloohoi may be consumed
in clubs Is the same as In the case of
publio bara. Restaurants are not allowed
to extend credit for meats at which in
toxicating drinks are sold, as tha credit
system la dons away with entirely. The
extreme penalty for a breach of these
regulations Is six months at hard labor
and a MOD fine.
If Credit 4o Driakrra.
One of tha most effective measures to
promote temperance la tha abolishment
of credit at tha bars. Thla struck se
verely tha business of bara giving credit
to workmen. In the old days men used
to gather In ths bar and drink on credit
with tha reault they had little or nothing
left out of their wagea when paid.
It Is not the Intention of tha Board of
Control to bring about prohibition, but
to promote tempe'ranc. This work Is
supplemented by the Home Counties Pub
lio House trust, which lately took over
the control of a well known aaloon In a
osntral district and plana to extend Ita
Influence. Tha place was remodeled sa
as to gat away from tha old Idea of tha
drinking palace and to Introduce tha cafe
system with tablea. reading matter and
frindly games. Aloohollo drinks are sold,
but the management receives a bonus on
all temperance drinks.
Saloon men. In fact, are Just now be
ginning to realise that ths profits on
temperance drinks exceed those on
llquoia. There Is twice the profit In a cup
of tea thst there is In a glass of ale.
But heretofore the owners associated the
sals of soft drinks with teetotalUm and
opposed their introduction. .

LONDON, Dec. 17. Tha registrar gen
eral's return of marriages, births and
deaths In England and Wales recently
Issued, which covers ths period for April,
May and June Isst, shows a striking In
crease in tha number of marriages. On
tha other hand, tha birth rate ahows an
appreciable decrease during July, August
and September last, and reached a low
record point never before touched.
Tha marriage record haa been estab
lished, principally owing to tha war,
many young men going through tha cere
mony of marriage to save their sweet
hearts trom falling Into ether hands
whlla they arc In tha fighting field and
others going through the form of mar
riage to escape tha recruiting officers'
attentlona aa tha unmarried naturally
ara to be called upon to serve before the
married men. London has led tha way In
creating thla marriage record.
The following figures show how the
marriage rata haa fluctuated per thou

totalled 97,038, compared with 81, OM and
4C,i)4 respectively In the second quarters
of 1914 and 1818. In the first three months
of this year the total was M.407.
In relation to population, the marriage
rate was 20. per thousand S.I above tha
rate for the corresponding period ef 1814,
and 4.7 hisher than the average for the
ten preceding second quarters. London
had the highest marriage rate, which waa
S3.I per thousand.
Birth Hate Decreases,
The births registered for July, August
snd September last. In comparison with
the same poilod l,- 18 4. Is 8.2 per thou

September quarter of laat year, and JS.ftoe
less than In the aame months ef 191S. Of
the 197,493 births, 1.M4 were Illegitimate,
or 1,0?7 less than In the corresponding
period of laat year.
Aa a reault of the heavy decline In
births the natural Increase of papulation
was 8,498 below the totsl for the Sep

death rate waa US and among females

FUTURE QUEEN IN DOUBT
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
15NDON, Nov. 80. Speculation aa to
royal marriages, always a lively topic of
gossip, haa been Increased since the war
began, for the field of possibilities so
far aa the royal houses of Great Britain
and Russia are concerned has been nar
rowed by the war. Thoughts of marriage
between the princes or the princess In.
Buckingham palace with anybody of
Hoheniollern associations are now out of
the question. Meanwhile the prince of
Wales la In his twenty-second year, his
brother, Albert, will be twenty on Decem
ber 14, and the Princess Victoria passed
her eighteenth birthday In April last. 3"he
firee younger range from 15 to 10 years
of age ao their brides need not cause
their royal parents any concern yet
awhile.
The choice ef the next queen of Great
Britain Is of euch Importance that even
thla great war can not obscure the
popular Interest In the selection of a wife
for the prince of Wales, and It Is recalled
that while he Is 23 now, his father waa
married to the Princess of Teck when,
he was 38 yeara old and his grandfather
married Queen Alexandra when he was
not aa old as the prince Is now. The ex
ceptionally lets ags at which King
George was married may In part 'have
been due to the fact that the heir to the
throne, the Duke of Clarence, did not
die till 1S92, and his brother, the present
king, waa married the next year.
That there are five boya In the royal
family here la a fact that widens the
field of speculation, A weekly paper in
Its last issue, for example, published the
portraits of the two beautiful Roumanian
princesses with the hint that they might
later be better known In Britain, a safe
and Indefinite suggestion In the circum
stances. Similarly It Is equally vague to make
suggestions with regard to the large
royal family In Petrograd. but all the
goaslp selects no mate either for the
Prince of Walea or Princess Mary. The
cleverness of the Hohensollems In placlnr
their children In so many of the royal
families of Europe has been the aubject
ef many articles In the British press dur
lag the war and It has been pointed out
how this has affected the diplomatic
situation In Holland, Sweden. Bulgaria
and Greece. Meanwhile there haa been nn
wedding In the Immediate rnvnl fatnllw
since the king's sister. Maud. m.n-i.H

Hunt, today, there not being enough of
any one thing on aale to mane a market.
For the week receipts have been liberal

responding week of last year.
The demand for beef eteers has been
very good for the mid-holiday week, and
aa ofrerltiKa have not been exceaslve the
trade haa been in a good healthy condi
tion throughout. Prices have been gradu
ally working upward until they arc now
at the close of the week 10&30c higher
than last week's close. '
Cows and heifers have also besn In
good demand and they have shown even
more advance than beef eteers, being
right around 25c higher than a week ago.
Th amount of business doing in the
stocker and feeder trade has been limited
but receipts of that kind of cattle have
also been smsll snd prices have been
Brmed up in sympathy with the advance
on killers. The market on stock ers and

HOGS Supplies were very fair for a
holiday, but both shippers and packers
wanted hoars, and after a slow open nc;
first sales were made on a fully So higher
basis. Aa was the case yesterday trade
Improved a little after the opening and
when the big bulk of the hone started
scaleward prices paid were largely
higher, aalea made at the best time be ng
pretty close to a dime above yesterday's
average. Although first rounds were a
little d rangy movement was active once
the market waa tinder way, and a good
clearance waa made by 9:30 o'cloalt, only
a few bunches of pigs which no one
seemed to want being left at thla time.
Most of the sales were made at S6.5Kft
6.65. with a sprinkling of lights on down
to 96.40. Several bunches sold as hlxh
as 36.70, and tops reached 36.75, the high
est price that has been paid since Novem
ber 9.
For the week prices show an adranee
of 3035c. It has been mainly a quality
market especially during the last three
days, ar.d good lights show the moat of
the weeks' advance, although common
llirht and mixed a-radea have been tha
oMect of considerable discrimination.
rigs also have found hard sledding most
of the time, and a good many of them
weighing under 100 pounds have sold from
35.00 downward.
Receipts today were 109 cars or 7,901
head. The week's total of 69,347 head Is
smaller than a week ago by 7,000 head,
and 6,(100 short of two weeks ago, but
20,000 larger than for the corresponding
week lat year.
SHEEP Receipts of sheep and lambs
this week are the smallest since the
opening of the range season. On the first
two days of the week supplies were ex
tremely light and lamb values soared,
tops reaching 3H-40 Tuesday when nearly
everything aoM above 99.00. Heavy runs
Wednesday and Thursday allowed pack
ers to trim off part of this advance, but
the week closes with lamb values any
where from 15c to a quarter higher than
