 BY ILL WEATHER
Set For 1915 May Be Delay ed As Result of Storms in
 This Vicinity.

Oyster planting in the vicinity of Bridgeport has been delayed greatly during the past few weeks by stress of weather which has prevented prepara- ton of the beds.
 Prominent oyster dealers fear that this years set may be delayed as a re- suit, though determination of the set cannot be ascertained until the latter part of August.
 Theodore Ferguson, manager of the H. J. Lewis Oyster Co. said today that general planting should have begun in this vicinity about three weeks ago. Little progress has been made in pre- pairing the beds though active work is now being done. Oystermen hope that a. favorable summer will overcome the handicaps presented at the opening of the year.

 Is Held By Guard.

So strict is the watch kept oyer strangers at the Remington Arms plant that Deputy Sheriff Thomas J. Cunningham was taken into custody this morning by a guard and prevent ed from leaving the premises He finally located an official who knew him and apologized for the incident.
 This official gave mysterious sig nal to the guard, who permitted the sheriff to start on his way. When he reached the entrance to the street an other guard blocked his path. The previous guard wig wagged the magic signal and Sheriff Cunningham finally gained the freedom of the outer world.
 Sheriff Cunningham had been serv- ing papers on an employe and was on his way out when a. guard stopped him and demanded where he was going.
 tI'm going out,'' replied the sheriff.
 Have you a pass ?'' ..Do I need a pass to get out?''
 Certainly you do.''
 When he explained that he had no pass, the guard said, "Wel1, you'll have to stay here, then.''
 .'If I do I'll charge the company for my time," replied the sheriff, who re- garded the incident as a humorous ad- venture. "I don't care. You can't leave here without a pass" was the answer. The state of siege continued until the friendly company official happened along and gave the proper hocus poclis.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE no
MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS

WESTERNILLE, O.. June 21.-
Those in charge of the program of the
Anti-Saloon League of Americas con-
Nention to be held in Indianapolis
June 1929, report that one of the
strongest speakers on the program
will be State Senator John p. Willacy
of Texas, Not only will he make a
good speech, the committee announc.
es, but the fact that formerly he was
the foe Of prohibition and the Anti
saloon League will make his appear
ance on the platform doubly inter.
esting.
Willacy for a long time honestly
fearlessly fought prohibition. Final
ly however, he came TO be one of its
foremost champions.
His participation in the program
will be parallel to that of Major Dan
Morgan Smith, of Chicago who, for
a number of years, was general coun-
sci of the Model License League. but
who decided, after much investiga.
tion and experience that prohibition
was the only solution of the liquor
traffic.
It is pointed out by league leaders
that the convention. coming on the
heels of the national gathering Of the
political parties in Chicago and st,
Louis, is a fact that will contribute
to the attendance of the League meet.

paid to it. The omm-partisan non
partisan character of the league is
Well known. The organization has
never sought to accomplish its pur-
pose through party help or party en-
dorsement.
But the individual is supported or
opposed, regardless of his party affil-
iation, accordingly as he favors or OPP
poses the things for which the league
stands
BY the time the league opens its
sessions the great political campaikn
of 1915 will be in full swing. The
attention Of the temperance forces
will be drawn to every candidate for
office. from the greatest to the least,
and none will escape the "once over
of the careful voter.
All traffic associations have now
announced a rate of two cents a mile
to and from indianapolis for the con-
vention. %WBI
