Hold Up Your Hands! Some liquor advocates are arguing

that we must have the saloons In Dwight to hold the farmers' trade. They are very solicitious about the rights of the farmer—all at once. When the township Local Option Bin was up before the legislature the liquor interests opposed it on the ground that it was none of the farmer's business whether a town had saloons or not! Likewise when a country option bill comes before the legislature the liquor interests fight it to a man. But now ,—what tender regard! We have heard that a farmer has to get a few drinks in him before he will loosen up his purse strings. The temperance people do not believe this. If all this is true Mr. Farmer, will you please hold up your hands!—Adv.
