Feb. 18, 1921 – BOMBARD BAD BOOZE
Tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. all the liquor taken in raids, now in possession of Sheriff Kirkpatrick, except a few samples held as evidence in future trials, will be taken to the banks of Sand creek, where its destruction will take place in a thorough and workmanlike manner, which may cause gloom to him who nurses anti-prohibition traditions but will bring laughter and joy to the members of the W.C.T.U., of whom a large delegation will be present and some of whom may be allowed to smash the jugs and bottles and demijohns, allowing moonshine and other hooch to gurgle into the already troubled waters of the mountain stream.

THE “GOLDEN RULE” ON PARTY LINES
There is no better place to practice the “Golden Rule” than in using the party telephone lines. The best plan to follow is to put yourself in the place of the other users and govern yourself accordingly. No matter whether you called or were called to the phone, you must not use the party line more than FIVE MINUTES at a time. As soon as your time is gone, you should say, “I believe my five minutes are up. I’ll call you later.” The Interstate Utilities Company, Owners and Operators of the Local Telephone System.

MIDAS-BROTEN-GLENGARY NEWS
The big thaw has put the roads in such condition that about all we can do now is walk or stay at home. Looks as though spring were here with the hills bare of snow and robins chirping.
