One of the men re­ marked “Our biggest headache is going to be liquor.” Then he drew a picture of drinking in the bleachers and 'bottles thrown on the ice. Now the first season on artificial ice is nearly over. It is very gratifying to learn that there has been a very minimum of trouble because of liquor. This proves that our young people do not need a 'bottle of liquor for an evening's enjoyment. It also proves that the lurid re­ ports of drinking in public sire largely loose talk. —Advt. ■* K ■ * Hi Lights Gleaned From Exeter District High Schpol 1 How To Get Extra Money Is in Knowing Where to Sell RIVERSIDE POULTRY CO.
