The ordi- nary permit is available to persons 'over 21 years of age and permits them to purchase at one time 12 quarts of 'whiskey and 120 pints of beer with no specific limitation as to length of time between purchases. "Well" said a merchant with some finality, "Prohibition is a failure and we might as well get used to the liquor traffic." "Who is to drink the liquor" asked his friend, "Will you?" "Why no" he replied, "You know I never drink." "Will your son drink it?" "No that shall not be." "Would you want your clerks to purchase it?" "No it is my practice to discharge any clerk who drinks liquor." "Do you wants your customers to drink it," "No, 1 would much rather not; I am sure that those who use strong drink will not buy so much from me nor pay their bills so promptly." "Will you want the engineer on your train to use it?" "No I admit I don't want to ride on drunkard's train." "Ah then, do you want this liquor for the men whom you meet driving cars on the public highways?" "No, of course not; that is a danger to everybody." Well then, pray tell me, who is to drink this liquor. --North Ontario Times. a) rerio MYRTLE NEWS To one and all a Happy and Pros- 'perous New Year. Mr. and Mrs. John C.
