592 wene filled. In gallons the liquor
rold in 1940 was 4.3,147 while this past'
August the gallons totaled only 445 in
those dry areas.
Last August in dry areas there were
184 drug stores selling liquor with 1,
184 physicians writing prescriptions.
This past August there were only 121.
| Irug stores filling liquor prescriptions and
95 physicians writing them.
Seven counties where the bulk of the
e’rug stores business was carried on are
Lubbock, Taylor, Brown, Hum, Smith,
Angelina and Tom Green.
Just whi’.t increase in the sale of
liquor is shown by package stores in cities
like Dallas and Ft. Worth is not known
to offset this decrease in the counties
where prescription drug stores have been
shut down.
One small package store on the rim
i f Dallas is said to have had its sales
mount from around $2,000 per month to
»ver $6,000 ptr month since the closing
down of the prescription drug store. It,
would, be interesting to learn just what
decreases in the sale of liquor has been
realized in the state. Of course there is
no wav to get at the trade of the bootleg
ger which is bound to be augmented.

Interesting Bits

pose this important part of the
work in the way of taking care
of what they can to meet the

they movedi their office and

where their activities could be

idea of the manner in whicr
they go at the job. All of us
could well afford to sit at their

The report that the use of the deadly | Along rh* New. Beat
marijuana weed by youngsters in their
early adolesence is growing is a signa'
for the utmost concern by parents con-
cerning their chidren. With so many
jf the young girls smoking it becomes a
much easier matter to introduce the smok
tig of the poisonous marijuana which is
worse on the human system! than most
any drug they could introduce. At pres-
ent Dallas is experiencing a harvest of
young people, who have become addicts
and it is declared to be a special matter
with the federal department to run it
down. Parents can. not be too careful in
checking on the habits of their young |
children and know as to their welfare |

One thing about being in the
.newspaper business—you can fur-
nish the shoulder on which many
of the public is willing to cry.
Sometimes they want you to do all *
the fighting for them while they
bring you the subject matter to
take up, but are not willing to dis-
close their own identity in the mat-
ter.
They want to convict the crimi-
nal in the case, but are not willing
to go to the witness stand and tell
what they know about the case.
Judge Tom Suggs tells us that
is the one of the worst angles lie
finds in today’s jurisprudence—;
people so unwilling to tell what j
they are supposed to know about
any given case and who dodge ser-j
vice on juries.
They want the sheriff, the jury
