deads Guilty in County Court to the
Charge of Unlawfully Selling
liquor.
The way of the transgressor is hard
(if he gets caught) and Jim Myers
in now serving time in the county jail
as an evidence of that fact.
Mers plead guilty in the County
Court last week to the charge of un-
lawfully selling joy-juice and was re-
lieved of fifty big hard round dol-
lars and given thirty days in the
koosegow to meditate on the uncer-
tainty of the joy-juice vendor's career.

can eat or wear dollars) you are getting from 25 to 50 per cent more for your dollars than you were last year
