Among many 'of the retail liquor dealers *vho have possession of locations In the center of the city, there seems to be a good deal of uncertainty to just what they will do. Most of them intend to continue in business for a short time at least, but there seems :-y to be a doubt in their minds as to the '•, feasibility of paying the present high j. rants on the proceeds of soft drink

Sales. Many of the »r?sent proprietors, feel that under the "bone dry" law It is up to the owners to make a decided reduction In the rents If they Wish to keep their present tenants. \s Ernest Terhorst, Ninth street and

Wabash avenue, said be would be », called to Che colors cm July 22, and that he would take at least a week's (, vacation before he left. He said his business plans would depend on the jrent that he would be compelled to pay V If h* kept Iris present corner.

Herman Prox, 19 South Seventh, and Daniel Burke, 15 South Seventh, are both to remain open for the present, and have made no plans to close.

OF TERRC HAUTE

COUNTY IS FAR SHORT i WAR STAMP QUOTA

Partial Reporti Saturday Night Indicate Results Disappointing te Workers.

Thirteen of the 2*1 ctty school districts, and seven of the 12 outside tewnshjpe i® reporting War Stamps sates and pledges Saturday afternoon to Rev. L. F. Brown, in charge of compiling the reports, showed a total sales of $434,008. The county's quota to raise is approximately $2,000,000.

Bchool districts reported as follows: Cruft, $66,728 Hulman, $62,000 Collett, $38,500 Hook, $35,000 Fairbanks, $32,16$ Davis Park, $18,680 Harrison, $17,980 Voorhees, $16,540 Sanderson, $12,645 Sheridan, $11,680 Rea, $10,300 Warren, $9,310 Montrose, $8,309 total, $347,728*

Seven towoships showed salsa aa follows: Fayette, $44,900 Riley, $13,365 Prairieton, $8,160 Otter Creek, $7,500 Harrison, $7,125 Sugar Creek, $3,515 Honey Creek, $3,515 total, $86,280.

The fine showing made by Fayette township is due to the patriotism of the Syrian coal miners at Shlrkieville, several of whom bought the limit, $1,000, in stamps.

Eight school districts and five townships are yet to make report, but the committees now realize that the total will be far below the goal set by the county.

The campaign will continue another week and an effort will be made to obtain new pledges and to increase the amounts now pledged by many individuals able to purchase amounts beyond those already subscribed^

TEERE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

"WETS" WILL GO 10

Cook Brewing Company, of EvansvilJe, Announces That It Will Fight On.

EVANSVBLLE, Ind., June 29.—-An appeal te the United States supreme court from the decision Friday of the Indiana supreme court, holding the state prohibition law constitutional. Is planned by the F. W. Ccok Brewing company, of this city, which brought the original suit in the Vanderburg county courts.

W. B. Robinson, an attorney representing the local concern, made this announcement soon after news of the decision reached here from Indianapolis where it was handed down. "We will appeal to the United States supreme court," he said. "A federal question is involved in the law which confiscates property without compensation."

The Cook brewery, -which has thousands of barrels of beer in Its cellars, says that it will admit of the decision for the present. "We will have no trouble dealcoholizlng the beer we now have on hand," said officers of the company.

Lake County Men Losers.

By Special Correspondent. HAMMOND, Ind., June 29.—Nearly 700 saloon men in the Calumet district of Lake county are heavy losers financially by the Indiana supreme court decision upholding the prohibition law, Most of these saloon men have continued to pay rentals on buildings, expecting a reversal of the legislative act, and they now find these leases worthless and their fixtures practically a dead loss on their hands. The situation is peculiar In this city.

In West Hammond, 111., an imaginary line, hundreds of saloons are doing a thriving business. The situation is the same at Buraham.

Ruling's Effect in Muncis*

By Special Correspondent. MUNCIE, Ind., June 29.—-The effect in Muncie of the Indiana supreme court decision, holding constitutional the state prohibition law, will be to cause the vacation of about twentyfive business rooms in the uptown district by former saloon keepers, who had retained their leases in the hope that they might be permitted to reenter the saloon business. A few will continue their place® as "soft drink parlors," at least during the summer,

It is believed any vacant rooms that i may result from the failure of the bars to reappear will be rented for other kinds of business. Some of the rooms have been tentatively overleased since the saloons went out.

FARMER'S RESORT IS RAIDED BV OFFICERS

The "bone dry ratdii* squad swooped down last night on Sam Farmer's resort at 46 Wabash avenue, I hoping to find a quantity of liquor, but the search proved almost unavailing as two small bottles of whisky represented the total of the find.

Farmer was taken to police head--quarters and later was locked up on a charge of maintaining a nuisance. The raid is the second made on Farmer's place, the first proving more fruitful in the quantity of contraband secured.

HOLD PAY-UP WEEK.

Merchants Adopt Unique JPlan to Remind the Public. Terre Haute retail merchants are going to observe pay-up week. That is they are going to present the Idea here for the careful consideration of the public. It has worked well in other place# and the after-effects are said to be very acceptable,

The notion is to impress the people with the necessity of a merchant getting in his money and the public la asked to cast up a balance and if there a.re any old accounts hanging on in which the merchant has been done an injustice by his money being long overdue, the debtor will be asked to tiy and do the square thing so that the load which the merchants are carrying will be reduced.

Merchants say Terre Haute does pretty well. The average of outstanding aeoounts carried by the merchants here is not so large as it is in other cities this size, but even at that the store keepers would like to cut down the load. War conditions has made business conditions hard and they are going to ask this much help from the people.

MISSION TO OPEH.

Fresh Air "Kiddles" to Enjoy One Big Romping Time. Whoopee, kiddles' Ain't you fflad? The Fresh Air Mission opens tomorrow! Yes, sir, that's the truth, because the folks that know said so today!
