Athens.-A dispute over a twenty
der of Pierson Halsey and the suicide
of Herman Becker, prominent farmers
near Athens.
The tragedy was the elimination of
a series of quarreis in which Becker is
said to have been the aggressor. Two
years ago Becker leased the land in
question to Halsey At the expiration
of the lease Halsey decided to en-
force the two-year extension clause.
This clause was the cause of the quar-
rel. Becker is said to have made
threats against Halsey.
Halsey declared he would stand on
his rights, exercising the option of the
lease, and he proceeded to cut the
hay. He was working in the field
when Becker came with his shotgun,
preached to within twenty feet and
shot Halsey in the left side, some shot
tearing through the arteries of the
neck and another entering the chin.
1t is said there was no quarrel at the
time of the shooting.
Becker then went to his own house,
carrying the gun. He Immediately re-
turned to the barn, stood the double
barreled Gun up against grindstone
and shot himself, the buckshot charge
tearing a hole in his left breast.
Halsey was 40 years old and a son

waukee. He was graduate of the
University of Wisconsin law school
and practiced law in Milwaukee before
coming to this section. Becker was Sc
years old, and a bachelor.

Framed photographs, copies of IA

The PRICE

| want to impress on the young men
just starting out in life that you can
not, in this world. get anything for
nothing you must pay the price.
There are a few things, which, if
learned from study or observation. will
save you the hardship of getting them
knocked into you by experience
While experience is a good teacher it
is hard one and in most casee the
price is too high.
Some people are so skeptical they
must have the experience before they
will believe, and they pay the price.
A lot of supposedly worldly-wise
chaps want you to take a drink, just to
be sociable, Just to be a bully fellow
sis-boom-ah! and you hate to refuse
for tear they will think you are green
or a goody- goody mama's baby.
If you are ready to pay the price,
then go to it. But wouldent it be con
sidered good business judgment to first
find out the price and see if you can
afford to pay it.
Let US investigate, let US absorb a
few facts by study and observeration.
Medical scientists tell US that alcohol
taken into the system tears down the
tissues of the body, weakens it and
leaves it less able to withstand or throw
off disease; that it destroys the cells of
the brain, dulling the intellect and in
capacitates one for work, and if con-
tinued brings one to an asylum or drunk
ards grave; that it dries up the water
of the body, causes ulcers of the
stomach and produces a craving for
more drink; that it is a narcotic and a
slow poison.
Look around you. Over 1872, 900 pay
the price every year in the United
States. Yes, 152, 900 once happy boys
and girls; somebody's darlings dies
drunkards every year. They pay the
price.
You meet nice young lady, a per

children should be made better acquaint-
ed with our native trees and their use
to us, not alone the trees and which
shade and ornament the city streets
and country highways, but the the
forest trees and the forest itself. The
great importance of Maryland's wood
land should be shown-its Importance
as a regulator and conserver of stream
flow modifer of climate, and the
source of industries which are worth
millions of dollars to the State each
year, not alone in valuable products,
but in the employment they give to
thousands of her men and women.
Children will enjoy hearing these things,
and in later years will look with pride
on school yards improved and beautifed
by them IN their observance of Arbor
Day.

feet peach; your heart goes pit-a-pat.
She's the girl for me, you begin to
look ahead; dreams, beautiful cottage,
etc, you hustle to make good. You
don seem to make any Roadway. The
atmosphere Is chilly, thermometer 60
ing down, you almost get cold feet, but
being desperate ask the reason of so
much frost. You are informed that she
doesn't care to associate with young
man who drinks. Ouch! you must pay
the price. Good society will not toler-
ate man who drinks
You go to college: there is a little
bunch of warm babies there always
are. They have a bully time, consider
able booze, spend lot of money, make
poor Roadway in classes. go home with
the first stages of a habit A large
percentage of that bunch die drunkards.
They pay the price.
A merchant begins to drink, neglects
his business, makes bad bargains, the
whole sale houses and banks refuse him
credit; why? They know that he will
surely fail, and he does. He pays the
price.
The big corporations will not hire a
man who drinks. Hardly any one will hire
a man who drinks, and certainly will not
put him in responsible position. 1t is
becoming harder each year for a drink
ing man to secure employment. They
must pay the price. Yes, and their
families. Can you afford the price?
If you don't take the first drink, you
won't take the second and the habit will
never be formed.
Would it not be good plan to pro-
hibit the manufacture of such danger
Gus commodity. To remove the tempta-
ton from before the people? You know
it would.
AS good citizen won't you get busy
and help by work and vote to blot it
out.

ARBOR DAY.
is Observance in Maryland Schools,
viii BE Friday, April I'd.

Arbor Day was first observed in this
country by the school children of a
Western State more than forty years
ago. From a small beginning in tree
less State the idea spread, until now it
is day regularly set apart each spring
not alone in nearly all of the States,
but in many foreign countries as well,
The Governor has designated Friday,
April Sd, as Arbor Day in Maryland,
and much good can be accomplished in
the right direction, and valuable
lesson conveyed to the children in the
public schools, where it is properly
observed. The State Board of Forestry
recommends the planting of useful
trees on that Gav. The shade and pro-
lection afforded bv few well planted
trees or belt of trees adds much to the
attractiveness of the school yard, and
comforts in all seasons to the school
itself. Trees planted on that day should
not be forgotten when the exercises
are over, and allowed to die through
neglect for given careful attention they
serve as object lessons in usefulness,
and the children will watch their growth
from year to year with intersest and
satisfaction.
But Arbor Day in Maryland is not
alone a day for tree planting, important
as that is in itself 1t is day when
