Charles Upson Clarke was assistant
professor of Latin at Yale, 1904-16;
directed School of Classical Studies
of American Academy Rome, 1916-
19; member Advisory Council, Inter-
national Institute for Girls in Spain.
As principal of Massawippi Summer
School, North Hatley, he is spending
the summer in Quebec. Tie has sent
to The ttew York World (and fthe
Post-Dispatch the following article on
the Quebec Liquor Law:
lly CHARLES ITSON CLARK.
North Hatley, Quebec.—On the T2tli
of July the Quebec Liquor Commis-
sion presented its first annual report,
which covers the fiscal year ending
April 30, 1922. The Province of
Quebec has been trying a very inter-
I eating expirment, in the hope of steer-
ing a middel course. On the one ]
hand it has abolished the saloon and !
its accompanying political evils; on
| the other it has nuidc possible to buy i
| pure wine beer, ale and hard liquor j
; (this latter iu limited quantities) and |
to transport it to one's home with- :
I out breaking any luw.
i Having spent nearly one-half this
] year in the province and the rest
; largely in the United States, under
the so-called prohibition jirgime, 1
| am in a position to draw comparisons
I between the two.
I In the first place, let me sketch the
Quebec system. The province has lo-
( cal option: if a community desires
I to be "dry" it has only to vote to that
| effect; if, however, it desires to have
| liquor sold and so votes, the province
steps in and establishes a 'liquor
store*' of its owu -for the (ioverninent
of the province lias a monopoly of
the sale of hard liquor, as under the
Swedish and South Carolina systems.
Very Few Liquor r*;nrew.
There are very few of these liquor
stores. Sherbrooke, a city of some
35,000 people, and an important rail-
road and shopping center, has only
one. Grocers who wish to pay the
license fee involved may sell beer and
ale without restriction; but only one
or two in Sherbrooke have availed
themselves of this possibility. India
pale ale, made iu Montreal, is sold at
about 22 cents the quart bottle re-
tail.
Hotels and "travorns"' may als^
take out license in towns that have
voted 'wet." A tavern license allows
only the sale of beer; rum, whisky
or any other hard liquor may not be
sold in any form by any tarven or
hotel, or indeed by any person or
agency whatever, other than the pro-
vince itself in its liquor stores.
Taverns are forbidden to serve
beer to minors, and music, singing,
dancing and playing games in the
taverns are expressly prohibited;
they must close at 10 p. m., and the
curtains must be raised from that
hour till 9 a .m., that a clear view
may be had from outside; they must
be closed also on election day and on
Quebec holidays—which, by the way,
have a curious old-world flavor, like
so much In the province; the list runs
Sundays, New Year's lOmpiphany, Ash
"Wednesday, Good Friday, Ascension.
All Saints, the Imaculate Conception
and Christmas.
Wine and lleer at Meals
( As regards hotels and dining cars,
"j| cigarettes

Buy this Cigarette andSa ve Money
the law forbids the sale of hard liquor
under any circumstances whatever;
but u hotel may take out a license for
the sale ot beer (and nothing hut
beer) in its barroom and one for the
sale of wine and beer at meals, by
the bottle or the glass—and again, not
after 10 o'clock at night. Quebec
cities keep daylight saving <here
called fast "i time, so this means 11
o'clock, local time.
Dire penalties are provided (and en-
forced )if a hotel keeper furnishes
any substitutes for what is ordered,
or if any private person or other
agency than the province, makes or
sells any alcoholic beverage Here it
is the Liquor Commission that fer-
rets out stills and prosecutes boot-
leggers—for the province proposes to
keep all sale of liquor in its own
hands, and incidentally guarantee the
quality of everything that Is sold. The
fines have been quite a source of in-
come.
OLDFIELD HAS YET TO
LOSE POLITICAL RACE
Judge E. D. Oldfield, republican no-
I minee for justice of the supreme
, court, has never lost a race. His
j victory last Tuesday was the fifth in
] the seventeen years of his residenco
, in Oklahoma City.
| Final returns Saturday gavo him a
plurality of over 3,000 votes over his
nearest opponent, A. T. Boys. Tho
final count from Oklahoma, Canadian,
Ijogan, Kingfisher, Blaine, Garfield,
Grant and Alfalfa counties gives Old-
I field 7,497 votes, Boys 3,342, John W.
j Schorhorn 2,778 and Henry J. Sturgis
' 3,210.

The Player-Piano Sensation
of the Year!
A MONTH or so ago $365 couldn't buy a player-piano equal to the
k Community Model Gulbransen—anywhere in the United States.
Today $365 buys it everywhere—in hundreds of cities from one end
of the country to the other.
That's because the Gulbransen is Nationally-Priced—sold everywhere at the same prices.
If we said to you, "This $500 Player-Piano, Now $365," it would not
mean anything. We might as well tell you it is a $600 player.
But we do say this: That we challenge
comparison with any medium-priced
player. That the National Price, the
Gulbransen prestige, the 10-year guar-
anty and our own recommendation
assure you of a square deal as well as
a heaping measure of value. That, since
the war, it has been impossible to buy
a player-piano of like quality at as low
a price as $365.
Don't Wait!
Our allotment of the
Community Model is
very limited. Choose
yours now! Quick ac-
tion is imperative.

KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK
M AltKET.
Jlitf Decline In Hot? Prices; Cattle
Lower; Lambs Steady.
Kansas City Stock Yards, August S.
—As the result of decreased demand
for fresh pork and cured meats
throughout the East the hog market
took the biggest plunge downward in
more than a year past. In most
cases the drop was 50 cents, excep-
tions both ways. The price level was
under $10 at all markets. Grass fat
cattle ca emin for a slight addition-
Today's Receipts.
Receipts today were 16,000 cattle,
13,000 hogs, and G,000 sheep, com-
pared with 11,000 cattle, 9,000 hogs
and 3,000 sheep a week ago, and 14,-
405 cattle, 7,875 hogs and 11,563 sheep
a year ago.
Beef Cattle.
Cattle that showed desirable qauli-
ty and flesh were fully steady, and
plain ordinary and common kinds
were down another 15 to 2« cents.
The decline in common kinds has
"wiped out last week's gain though the
better classes retain some of the ad-
vance. The good to choice steers here
sold at $9.85 to $10.25. Some heavily
wintered summer grazed steers
brought $9.50, with top for straight
grass steers $8.50. Common grass
steers sold at $4.25 to $5.25. Cows
and heifers were in moderate supply
at steady prices. Demand for calves ,
continues active with prices fully j
steady.
Stackers and Feeders.
Good gtockfl(rs and feeders were
fully steady but the plain and common
j kinds are accumulating at Bagging
prices. Countrymen want some qaul-
j ity. Feeders are making liberal re-
placements in feed lots with 1000 to
11,200 pound steers.
II«KS.
The Ilog market opened with bdis
I «!0 to 70 cents lower, but general
I trade settled at a 50 cent decline com-
j pared with Monday's average and 90
cents to $1.00 under last Friday. At
more Eastern markets tho drop has
been more pronounced and no mar-
ket today drew a ten dollar top, even ;
for heavily sorted light weights. Here
the top price was $9.50 and bulk of
sales $9 to $9.40. Pigs sold up to
$10.75.
Sheep and Lambs.
Sheep and lamb prices here were
generally steady in the face of a 25
cent decline in Chicago. Most of the
lambs here sold at $12 to $12.2*5, grass
wethers $7 and ewes $6.50. Few feed-
ing lambs were offered.
Horses mid Mules.
General conditions in the horse and
mule market remain unchanged. Re-
ceipts are light and extent of the de-
mand has not been tested.
