Minnesota Ave. Bemidji, MEm. | | NO TREATING NOW IN DEAR OLD LONDON Law is No Joke; No American Sunday Closing Affair; Is Being En- forced to Letter. By Wilbur S. Forrest. (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Nov. 2.—(By mail.)— London’s anti-treating law is no joke. It is no American Sunday closing af- fair. It’s the real, unadulterated ar- ticle. When American city fathers agree that there shall be no Sunday saloons they draw up their ordinance and notify the saloon keepers. But they don’t lock the back doors. Eng- filand does. Also the windows. Also the cellars. The vast difference be- tween American and British observ- ance is startingly shown in the effects of this latest step against intemper- ance. In one month drinking has diminished 25 to 40 per cent in Eng- land. Drunkenness is down forty per cent and still decreasing. Careful investigation proves today that there is no treating in London. Fashion- able cafes in London’s downtown dis- trict now have many empty chairs. Leading hotel bars lack the little groups of “strategists” who gathered daily to discuss the war over whisky and soda. Professional “moochers,” well known in London, have been annihilated by the law which says they may have no drink unless they pay for it. Semi-respectable restaur- ant-public houses have been hard hit. No groups gather to talk over ale and bitter. * The patrons are drinking al- most pathetically alone. The lower class of public house has suffered less. Laborers still drop in for their morn- ing and evening nip or tankard of ale. They paid for it themselves be- fore, anyhow. At a certain American bar and hotel well known to Amer- icans, the veteran barmaid who makes the best Bronx cocktail in England, admits she isn’t making so many nowadays. She knows many of the most prominent Americans in Londen and many who frequently come over but she admits she’s not seeing them so often. The secretary of one of London’s largest clubs declares that two drinks are now being taken B | where three were consumed before. i | The manager of a well-kown West | End cafe admits that his daily bar receipts are off nearly forty per cent. There is no one to buy for “the other fellow.” Police court figures show § |that where London produced 1,000 M |arrests weekly for drunkenness be- fore, there are now not more than &(600. In other parts of England and % |in Wales and Scotland, where the law is effective, police figures sum up that where there were 600 convictions for fl | drunkenness there are now 400. «In Liverpool during the month preceding the non-treating order there were 193 flarrests and in the following month but 125. In Newecastle there were 75 against 41, Durham 59 against 34, Northumberland, 40 against 25, and Cardiff 6 against 1. WARFIELD FAMILIES T0 ANNUAL REUNION C. W. Warfield and family left Be- midji yesterday for Princeton, Iil., and A. A. Warfield will leave tomor- row to be present at the twenty-fifth annual family reunion of the War- field family. The affair has become an annual gathering of all the mem- bers of the family with their wives or husbands and children. There were twenty-two at the last gather- ing. The reunion was first observed a quarter of a century ago after the first child to leave home had been absent a year and returned. Since that time not a year has been missed and various members of the family make the Yuletide a time of pleasure for each other. TREASURER RECEIVES MONEY ON ROAD BONDS The county treasurer’s office at the court house has received the money for $291,000 worth of bonds sold re- cently and is busy paying the war- rants on rural highways Nos. 12, 62 and 32 and divisions A.
