STOCKHOLM, Nov 1 O Al ius primary inter-! armtd over overwhelming Coupons eight ft Issuance of liquor ration coupons for November and December to permit holders was commenced at the week-end by the government liquor vendor. Because of inadequate space in the llquo; store, an Issuing office has been set up- in the front of McMeekln's warehouse on the south side of Third Avenue, Just east of MeBrlde. where from now until the end of the year coupons will be In order to obtain coupons, an applicant must present his permit and registration card to i the Issuing clerk, who fills outj the name, address, and number of the permit on the upper division of a form which is per forated into three sections. The i menace of the conquering Red applicant must signs his name armies, the Ocrmans are rushing troop reinforcements to the Ruratan front from Italy, and Norway, and Intensifying work on new fortifications in the defence line of Poland, a Swiss report to a Swedish newspaper said today. At leat ten Oerman divisions are being transferred from Genoa. to the upper part of the form and the two lower portions, dated and bearing the same number as the permit, arc handed over to him. These are the coupons. i The coupo"- are marked for the month In which they will be' honored and, in order to obtain liquor on them, the purchaser must put his .signature on them In the presence of a liquor store clerk. If at the Ime the coupons are issued, an applicant's permit shows that somehow he ha contrived to mane more-inan one. puTcnas"" !n October his November coupon will be detached and he will be lven only the December coupon. One of the principal reasons for coupon aUonlng of liquor It was disclosed by a local control board officer. Is that a re-rent Investigation of irregularities In vendors' stores In Van couver brought to light the fact that clerks. Yielding to cupjdlty or the pressure of friends, had been parties to the illegal sale of liquor. The coupon system has been designed to make such irregularities Impossible. If the coupon system Is found i satisfactory during the next two months It will be used next year. It was said. The liquor allowance for Nov ember Is three dozen pints of beer, or one 26 ounce quart of hard liquor, or one gallon of domestic wine, or two quarts of Imported wine. Wins $1,000 Victory Bond A bit of speculation on the part of Mrs. E. Anderson, an employee of the Prince Hupert dry dock, resulted in her ac-cumkitlng a Victory Bond worth $1000 at the week-end. Mrs. Anderson, who runs an automatic metal burner, won her bond in a draw to increase the sale of Victory Bonds among the dry dock workers. The diawlng was held at the yard gate at shift time. In all, $2,000 worth of Victory Bonds were dispensed at the draw, the $1,00 bond going to Mrs. Anderson, a $500 bond to F. C. Salter, assistant engineer, and five bonds of $100 each going to It.

One was forty-fire miles from the northeastern corner of the Crimea and the second less than fifty miles from Pere- kop which bottlenecks the escape corridor at the northwestern corner.

Undertakers on Hallowe'en Is Quietest Ever With uncertainty as to whether It should be observed on Saturday or Sunday night. Hallowe'en turned out to be celebrated practically not at all In Prince Rupert this year. There was a minimum of the customary pranks and activity. In fart, there were practically none. A few of the smaller children called for Hallowe'en apples. Police leported no serious degradations. The very stormy weather last night, no doubt, had a deterrent effect.
