Show C. V. Hansen's Ideas SOME TRUTHS WORTH CONSIDERING The nation voted for liquor and got it, the government sells liquor and the people get drunk, the same government that sells liquor puts the victim in jail when he or she gets drunk, now we will take $25,000 from the income of the sale of Iipuor'to be u ed to cure those that get drunlc on the liquor the government sells. What a mess! Do you realize that the United States is consuming nearly 2,000,000 000 gallons of liquor li-quor annually.

What a waste! |
