Adams Express Has Scheme for De-
livering Farm Produce.

Vieng with the new parcel post reg
ulalions, the Adams Express Company
is preparing to deliver food products
direct from the producer to the con-
sumner.
As beginning, the express company
has established an order and food pro-
duct bureau with headquarters at
Eighteenth and Market streets, Phila-
delphia. If the bureau is successful it
is proposed to establish such stations in
other cities.
According to the scheme, the farmer
quotes prices on his products. The
prices quoted are then issued in the
form of a circular and distributed
through the different agencies of the
company. The circular also contains
full particulars of ordering.
The orders will be sent direct to the
farmers to be shipped through the
local offices of the company. BY this
plan there will be no middle man to
handle the farmers products.

Jason KEEP
DEAR SIR:-They are telling in
my section that if the saloons were
abolished blind tigers and t-leggers
would spring up and more liquor be
drank than before the saloons were
closed. If that is so would it not be
better to vote against the dry.
ANXIOUS VOTER.
That statement is quite common and
is used by every saloon keeper. 1t is
one of their big games.
1t catches quite few men who do
not take time to annalyze the statement.
l take it that you are honest in your IN
quiry and will show you the alb surdity
of the statement.
The blind tiger and boot-legger is not
the creature of dry territory; mis- range
is large, and thrives best in wet regions.
In Chicago, wide open wet city,
there are 1890 blind tigers who have
government license and not local license,
more than IN any four dry states com.
bined.
1t is easier to suppress blind tigers
and boot-Ieggers than saloons. They
are outlaws from the start and have no
standing in court.
There is no one who will back boot
logger when caught, and the poor cuss
invariably gets a heavy sentence and
big fine and soon discovers that the
business does not pay.
The saloon is legalized by law and
backed by the brewers and distillers,
and when in difficulty can get all the
help needed, even to debauching the
officers of the law in many cases.
The poor boot logger sells down the
back alleys. His stock is small and his
sales amount to little.
The saloon is on the main street,
fancy front and interior, cut glass,
music and lots of light, and is as at
tractive as they can make it. The
saloon sells barrels while the boot logger
sells pints.
The boot-legger sells to the man with
the confirmed habit. The saloon does
the same, and in addition makes new
recruits starts our boys. Without our
boys their business would soon loose
out.
The saloon is the meeting house of
all the toughs in the district. Most of
the robberies and murders are Matched
up in some back room Of a saloon.
The murder of our three martyred
Presidents were planned in saloons
and the murderer of President Mckinley
was brought up IN saloon The man
who shot Roosevelt was saloon keeper.
The saloon is the mother of all the
violent sins in the Decalogue. In con-
parison the boot-legger would pass for
saint, even If there might be a little
SCOT on his wings.
Of course you know the boot-legger

Report of The Grand Jury.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county:
The Grand Jury for the June term,
1914, of the Circuit Court for Garrett
County, respectfully beg leave to make
the report of their proceedings and re-
ceive their discharge.
We have had before US and have ex-
amined lis witnesses, and have found
81 presentments and 81 indictments.
We have found presentments in all
those cases in which we believe the
evidence warranted and justified, and
have ignored such cases in which the
evidence did not warrant presentments.
In accordance with Your Honor's in
structlons and in compliance with the
law, we have visited and inspected the
several county buildings; the county
jail is in excellent condition and well
kept, we would however recommend
that some of the wood work of the Jail
building be given coat of paint, and
that several of the banisters on the
front porch of said building be repaired
and that the kitchen floor be painted.
We find the interior of the Court
house to be IN good condition. We
would recommend the painting of all
outside wood work, including the sash
that is exposed to the weather.
Additional shelves should be placed in
the Orphans Court room to meet the
requirements thereof.
We would especially recommend the
placing of toilet on the third floor of
the Courthouse for the use of the
Grand Juries.
We have examined the records of the
County and find them neatly, carefully,
and excellently kept.
We desire to acknowledge the courtesy
shown US by his Honor, Judge Hender-
son, and all of the officials of the
County, with whom our duties have
brought US In contact.
We desire also to express our ap-
probation and thanks to States At
torney, }. c. Renninger, for the
courtesy shown and the valuable assist
ance which he has rendered US while in
the discharge of our duties.
We now beg to be discharged.

A FRANK CONFESSION.
A Whiskeyseller's Opinion of the
Liquor Business.

The following is copy of an adver-
tisement of Mr.. McMurtrev, which ap-
peared on a business card he put in cir
culation. His place is called ''The
Temple Saloon, is located at Flagstaff,
Arizona. On the other side of the card
was printed, Dealer in WHISTLES,
wines, beer and cigars. His announce
ment reads:
Friends and Neighbors: | am CRATE
ful for past favors, and having supplied
my store with fine line of choice wines
and liquors, allow me to inform you that
| shall continue to make drunkards,
paupers and beggars for the sober, in
dustrious, respectable part of the COM
munity to support. My WHISTLES will
excite riot. robbery and bloodshed.
They will diminish your comforts, in
crease your expenses and shorten life.
shall confidently recommend them as
sure to multiply fatal accidents and in
durable diseases.
They will deprive some of life, others
of reason, some of character, and all of
peace. They will make fathers fiends,
mothers widows. children orphans, and
all poor. will train your sons in in
fidelity, dissipation, ignorance, lewd-
ness, and every other vice. l will
corrupt the ministers of religion, OBJ
struct the gospel, defile the church, and
cause as much temporal and eternal
death as can | will thus accommodate
the public" it may be at the loss of my
never-dying soul, but have family
to support-the business pays-and the
public encourages it.
| have paid my license and the traffic
is lawful and if don't sell it somebody
else will. know the Bible says: Thou
shalt not KILL" mo drunkard shall
enter the kingdom of heaven, and | do
not expect the drunkard- maker to fare
any better, but | want an easy living,
and have resolved to gather the wages
of iniquity and fatten on the ruin of my
species.
| shall therefore carry on my bust
ness with energy and do my best to
diminish the wealth of the nation, and
endanger the safety of the state. AS nv
business fiourishes IN proportion to your
sensuality and ignorance, will do my
best to prevent moral purity and in
tellectual growth.
Should you doubt my ability. l refer
you to the pawn shop, the poor house,
the police court, the hospital, the peni-
Tertiary, and the gallows, where you
will find many of my best customers
have gone. A sight of them will con-
vince you that | do what | say. Allow
me to inform you that you are fools and
| am an honest saloonkeeper. j. ].
McMurtrey.
We appeal to the citizens of Garrett
county. Is not this a truthful state
ment? 1t is not an honest presentment
of the liquor business of this country.
Now, that we are to have the right to
say whether this business is to continue
by our vote, will we use our influence to
wipe the saloon out of existence, and
cast our vote against this awful curse.
1t has reached point where it becomes
the personal duty of every voter to take
sides on this issue. The continuation of
the saloon and its awful results rests
upon the Christian, moral men of the
county. We have the power to close
the saloons; If we do not we must
answer to God for the result. R

is low down follow. He only sells
little bit of booze, and takes great
chances of going to the pen. He is not
respectable; no, sir.
In order to be respectable you must
pay high license, fix up fancy place
Mahogany, cut glass. lots of light,
music, etc. Then sell champagony
water, cocktails, highball, glnrickies,
mint julip and schnapps, have a side
entrance where a fellow can quietly
slip in with his lady friend and have
glass of lemonade, and behold he imme-
dlately becomes respectable and is elect
ed alderman. And We go to church and
pray. ION. Lord, deliver US from this
curse of intemperance, and then go
out and vote wet. Oh, prunes.
If there were more liquor drank in a
dry territory than in wet: why do the
brewers and distillers spend so much
money fighting to keep territory from
going dry?
You certainly can not accuse them of
not having good business sense.
Stop and reason it out. Take your
own section. If you wanted it dry,
which would you rather tackle, a saloon
or boot-legger?
Don't you think it would be easier to
put the boot-legger out of business?
All the saloon keepers will vote wet
and some of the church members, but
no christian. Birds of feather"
Very few will be fooled in the fight,
and you can bank on it that those who
vote wet do so because they want the
saloons. Do you?
If you do, would you want it next door
to your home? If not why would you
want 1t next door to some other mans
home?
1t is an insult to the good citizenship
of Oakland and Garrett county to say
they are incapable of having laws en-
forced; to say some low down boot
logger can break their laws with i'm
punity; is to say they are a bunch of
spineless rabbits; streak of yellow.
| have met quite a number of the
citizens of Garrett county and Oakland
and am convinced that there is lot of
good red blood mixed up in their ana
tony, and the fellow who thinks he
can make a monkey of the voters of
Garrett county will get the surprise of
his life this fall.
Gentlemen the question is before you.
On the one side is home. wife, children,
piece, happiness and God. On the other,
humiliation, misery, despair and death,
hell and damnation. Get busy and
take your choice.
By-the-way, | don't believe hell would
be very pleasant place to live. They
don't have ice water or good citizens
there.

HIS INCOME TAX ONE CENT.
Collection From Detroit Citizen
Costs UucIe Sam the Sum of 81. so.

Detroit, June 5.--A Detroit citizen
yesterday paid into the local revenue
office federal income tax of one cent.
If the income of the taxpayer had
been one cent less in the ten months
since the law became operative, he
would have to pay no tax to pay at all.
His income Tor the ten months was
50, 5OO,51. Of this sum 50, 500 was ex-
empt from tax.
Nothing less than 81 is taxed but
where the amount exceeds so cents it
is counted as 81. This mans net in
come exceeded the turning point by one
cent, so he was taxed l per cent. of a
dollar. He wrote his check for one
cent and received the government re-
ceipt.
A deputy figured that it cost the de-
partment about ST. so to collect the tax.

Silos Needed In Garrett Comfy

Every farmer who winters as MANY as
twelve or more cattle should have silo.
A silo is the best investment a Garrett
county farmer can make. Ask the
farmer who has one, if this is not a
fact. 1t will pay you to make the in
vestlgation. Silage it has been proven
can be put up at less than half the cost
of hay. One ton of sllage occupies only
lilo as much space as an equal weight
of hay. One acre OF good hay will make
about II tons; one acre of good corn
will make ten tons of ensilage. Corn
can be put in silo for about one-half
as much as it costs to cut it, shuck it,
and haul the ears and fodder separately.
Silos may be built of wood, cement,
tile or iron. One material is about as
good as another. If well put up, any
of these silos will keep ensilage almost
perfectly. Good wooden silos, with
tight hoops and an occasional coat of
paint, should last twenty years. A
10x30 wooden silo can be bought in a
car lot for about $3.50. 1t can be erect
ed at a cost not exceeding $25. The
tile silo of the same size will cost about
1926 erected A 16x35 foot silo, holding
142 tons, can be be built of cement for
about $275. Wooden forms can be built
for $25 to SIS; these can be used over
and over. Enough cement to build a
100-ton silo can be bought for about $50.
If sand, gravel and labor are all easily
gotten, the cash outlay need be very
little.

Sing song of Temperance
A pocket full of gold,
Four and twenty bank notes,
In cupboard rolled;
When the door is opened,
Out the notes we bring;
Tell me where's the drinking man
Can show you such thing.
The brewers in the counting house,
Counting out his money;
His wife is in the parlor
Eating bread and honey;
The drunkard's in the tap-room
Dressed IN ragged clothes,
Soon may he be made to see
The cause of all his woes.
