P. st. John, the first Prohibition gov

''1f it is purely state matter why
does government official carry the
key to the distillery,1 continued the
former governor. THE contention
that the liquor question is purely a
state issue has no foundation in his
tory, justice or common sense. A
prohibitory amendment will be adopt
ed by Congress not later than 1917
and three-fourths of the states will
have ratified it not later than 1920.
And five years thereafter the liquor
politicians and the liquor press will
be ready to swear that they were al
ways for prohibition.

The object and purpose of the Bill of
Complaint, filed in this cause, is to procure
decree for the sale of certain dwelling
houses and lots of ground, situated in
Frederick City, Frederick County, in the
State of Maryland.
The bill alleges that a certain George
Hammers, late of Frederick County de-
ceased devised his real estate unto his
three children: Alice V. Hammers, Charles
F. Hammers and Mary A. c. Hammers,
two of whom died after their father, but
before arriving at the age of twenty-one
years. that Mary A. c. Hammers survived
her brother and sister and departed this
life in or about the month of --- A. ID.
1914, unmarried and intestate; that the
plaintiff AND the defendants in this case
are first cousins of the said Mary A. C.
Hammers and her sole heirs at law and
next of kin.
The bill then alleges that the said prop
critics are not capable of being divided
among the parties entitled thereto, without
loss and injury, and prays that the same
may be sold under decree of the Court
and the proceeds of said sale divided
among the parties thereunto entitled as
their interest may appear, and for general

Sale of the M. E. Doll Real
Estate.

Real estate in Frederick county has
scared more than fifty per cent. in the
last seven years. This was illustrated at
the sale of the property of the late Mr.
Melville E. Doll, by the executors, Jacob
Rohrback and Samuel V. Doll on Sat
urday, July 25th. The property on the
corne. of Market and West Second
street. was sold to Mr.. Newton NJ.
Zentz, at public auction, for $I6, 100. The
office building on North Market street,
was sold to Rosenour Brothers, for
$3.50.
Seven years ago the late Mr. Doll pur-
chased the property on the corner OF
Market and Church streets. at price Of
about ten thousand dollars. By the
price brought Saturday. there was a gain
of about 81 per cent. in the real estate.
The Nor,h Market street property was
erected by Mr. Doll. 1t was in 1887 that
he purchased and demolished two
story building and erected the present
building. The property origi' lily cost
Mr.. Doll $24Io.
Mr.. Zentz said on Saturday that he had
no definite plans for the future. He said
that there would of course be improve
ments made to the corner property. He
will very likely consider erecting fats
and apartments, and will also probably
make his home at this property.
Mr.. Abe Rosenour said on Saturday
that he had no plans formed for the fu-
ture of the building which they had ac-
ouired. This totals five valuable busi-
ness properties on Market and Patrick
streets owned by the Rosenour Broth

Farmers Lose Money in Wheat.

The production of wheat in Frederick
county is being seriously threatened by
the high cost of living and the farmers
claiming that it does not pay them to
raise wheat, are now showing ten
dency to put out less land in wheat than
in former years. Some farmers this year
will not market their wheat, but will feed
the raw product to the stock on the
farm. They contend that the raw pro-
duct raised on the farm is actually
cheaper per hundred pounds, than bran,
which is one of the many by products
of the original grain.
One OF the leading farmers of Fred.
erick county in discussing this matter
recently declared that bran, which is a
by-product of wheat. in the manufacture
of -four was being sold to the farmers
for 81 cents per sixty pounds, or bushel,
and he further said that the farmers were
receiving only 10 cents for wheat. He
also referred to the fact that several
wears ago bran could be purchased for
forty-two cents per sixty pounds. and
that was considered high price. He
also declared that wheat then brought a
much higher price per bushel at that
time.
