OF DRINKING The high cost of living is only a joke when compared with the high cost of drinking right here in Chanute. It cost a young man $134 for getting on a rampage and sleeping out all night. The next time that guy wants to pull off a "toot" he better take it to the woods and not return until he sobers up, or perhaps the cost of drinking may exceed the capacity of his pocketbook and as a consequence he will find himself lodging in the county jail, unable to pay the fine.
