Prohibition Campaign

The Prohibition Campaign in Prince
Georges County is now stirring the
citizenship of the County to fever heat.
For the past three weeks meetings
have been held in all parts of the nine
teen districts and stirring addresses de
livered by county leaders and by speak
ers who have come to aid in the cam
paign.
Tuesday of last week at Upper MARI
boro, meeting was held in the County
Court House and presided over by
Judge Fillmore Beall, Associate Judge
of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Mary
land. Judge Beall expressed his
sympathy in the movement and wished
the workers success in the effort to
drive the saloon from the County.
Addresses were delivered by DR..
Clarence J. Owens, Managing Director
of The Southern Commercial Congress
and President of the Citizens Temper
ance Union of Prince Georges County,
and by Hon. ]. Bibb Mills, attorney
for the Anti-Saloon League of Mary
land.
DR.. Owens, who is leading the coun-
ty in the fight, exhibited statistics to
show that the County and the State
now receive only about $4,000 revenue
from the saloons and that the county is
now paying $4,000 year to care for
the insane, the paupers and the crimi
mails, the percentage that may be trace
able to the saloon and it's attendant
evils.
prince Georges County is now"
said DR.. Owens, "the only wet territory
surrounding the District of Columbia, -
and he expressed the confidence that
the county would go dry by an over
whelming majority. ''Prlnce Georges
County," he said, must be a model,
not only along lines of agriculture and
civic organization, but also in its moral
standard, in the prohibition of the
liquor traffic and the enforcement of
aw and order"

Washington-Annapolis Highway
is Discussed

A delegation made up of prominent
citizens of Southern Maryland, repre-
senting Anne Arundel and Prince
Georges counties, appeared Saturday
before the State Roads Commission in
advocacy of the national defense high
way, connecting Annapolis and Wash
ingtoD.
A plan to finance construction of the
State of its first two annual appropria-
tons from the 100000 apportionment
to Maryland by the Federal Govern.
ment under the State-aid road plan,
was presented. The Maryland share of
total cost of the road, which is estimat-
ed at $3.50, 900, has already been provid
ed by contingent $4,000 appropria-
ton by the last General Assembly.
Patriotic citizens of Prince Georges
county are ready to do their part to-
ward construction of the defense high
way by a contribution of gravel from
local pits to cover at least Is miles of
the highway.
The offer Of thousands of tons of
gravel for construction work was made
through Father Hogan, rector of the
Catholic parish of White Marsh, near
where the large gravel pits are located
Father Hogan informed the commission
that his parishioners stood ready to
contribute sufficient stone for one
stretch of 10 miles, and that Vincent
Gross and other local citizens would
contribute another supply for an adj
ditional five miles. and perhaps to COW
er the entire route. These contribu-
tons will, of course, materially cut
down the construction cost if the COM
mission should decide to make the high
way of gravel instead of macadem or
| concrete.
&C. Magruder, Clerk of the Cour
of Appeals, headed the delegation; and
made the main argument. He was fol-
lowed by Senator William F. Holmead.
Senator Duvall, of Anne Arundel;
jackson II. Kalston, Oliver S. Metzerott
Thomas P. Littlepage, T. Howard
Duckett, Joseph D. Addison, Elridge
D. Jordan, and Father Hogan. The
arguments of each speaker were similar
Under the plan presented the high
wav to be constructed would only Gov
er % miles, and would not run direct
to either Washington or Annapolis
Instead, the plan provides for construc
ton from Camp Parole, in Anne Arun,
del county, to Bladepsburg. the high
wav connecting with Annapolis at the
former point by tapping the Baltimore
Annapolis boulevard and with Wash,
ington by tapping the Baltimore Wash
in ton boulevard at Bladensburg. In
cidentally this would also strengthen
the TRAN gular link connection as far as
| Baltimore is concerned.

Chesapeake Beach Escapes

By what is said to have been an over
sight Chesapeake Beach, Calvert coun-
ty, was not included in the act passed
by the last Legislature containing a
list of units in which the question of
license or no license of saloons will be
voted on next fall. This oversight has
been discovered in the publication of
the proclamation by Governor Harring-
ton containing the cities, counties, and
towns in which the question will be
submitted. This list includes every
place in Maryland, in which the saloon
is licensed and is as follows:
Allegany county.
Washington county.
Frederick county.
Prince Georges county.
Baltimore county.
Annapolis.
Ellicott city.
Havre de Grace.
Fifth District of Anne Arundel, in
which Curtis Bay and Brooklyn are
located.
The list of "wet" counties. cities and
towns, in which vote should be taken,
was prepared by the opponents of the
original bill, urged by the Anti-Saloon
League, which provided a statewide
referendum with sale of liquor and
under which it would have been pos
sible for the ''dry" counties of the
state to vote Baltimore and other sec
tons "dry." Baltimore was saved
from the statewide vote through the
bill giving each "wet" unit an oppor-
tunity to decide for itself whether it
would eliminate the saloon. In making
up list of the wet" areas it was
thought that Chesapeake Beach was
included. 1t is the only "wet' spot in
Southern Maryland south Of Annapolis.
If the saloon should be voted out else
where in the state Chesapeake Beach
would be most popular resort for the
thirsty. while its shipments of jugs and
bottles would be upon huge scale.
A question has arisen whether Havre
de Grace can be voted dry" even if
there is majority in the town against
the saloon. When Havre de Grace
entered upon an era of public improve
ments few years ago bond issue of
$40, 900 was made. Four saloon licenses
| then were the revenues to meet the
interest and sinking fund requirements.
The bonds have a long life. 1t is
contended that there is contract
between the town and the saloon
owners for the payment of the interest
on the bonds, and that this contract
cannot be vitiated by ELIMINATE of the
saloons.
In Ellicott City the question has been
raised and has been argued before the
Circuit COURT whether voters residing
beyond the municiple boundaries shall
be permitted to vote on saloon propo.
sition. The act permitting the sale OF
liquor in the town does not permit its
sale beyond its boundaries. Hence the
question of the right of voters in the
several sections to register their senti
ments at the election.
The laws appertaining to general
elections will be in force when the vote
! Is taken.

KAISER SWEATS AT HARVEST
Cologne VoIkszeituns TeIls How the
Emperor Worked in Shirtseeves
With His Peasant Folk.

Amsteranm--The STORY of the
kaiser working in the harvest fields is
told by the Cologne Volks zeitung as
follows:
why do the people run2 Why do
they rush to the fields? 70 see the
kaiser. 1t is between ! and Z in the
evening. The l;bOrerS are l:usy load
ing their carts with sheaves. Sudden
~ all hands are idle; all caps are
dotted: everybody stands ashast.
The kaiser is coming. The all high
est is already on the spot He takes
off his coat! In his shirt sleeves the
head of the German empire works in
the field. He lends hand to secure
for himself Gods golden blessing. AS
the kaiser does, SO do the high officials
and officers. And look! Do you not
see our imperial chancellor working =?
1t is true! 1t is he.
With surprise the spectators behold
the kaiser wiping the sweat from his
,nrow with his sleeve We see him sit
ting among the, lsborers drinking wa
ter from a common jug. Like father
he talks to the children. He asks
them to run across the stubbletied and,
laughing heartily at the enjoyment of
the children, gives them little pres
ents."

might be put up for winter use that
are never thought of. One frugal wom-
an after putting up all the blueberries
she felt that she could afford, washed
and dried bushel. These when soak
ed in water and sweetened make most
delicious pies and sauce and have kept
perfectly four years or as long as they
are not used. 1t is necessary to care
fully dry them and put them into pa
per sacks or bags that are dust and
insect proof.
Wild grapes are the greatest Of
roadside prizes and many are the ways
they may be preserved for the winter
table.
For green grape jam, pick the grapes
just before they begin to turn. Halve
and seed them if you want delicious
conserve and mix equal parts of sugar
when cooking. A few pint Jars Of
these will so delight your friends that
you will forget the labor of preparing
them. For jelly, wait until they are
beginning to turn, then you will have
q most beautiful color. If too ripe
the jelly is not nearly as good in color
and may lack the pectin found in the
greener grapes.
Spiced grapes make another way of
varying this delicious fruit; use this
when you are serving venison, and be
thankful for such favorS.
When everything else has been done
with grapes that you can think Of, put
up few bushels in the form of grape
Juice. No more delicious drink can be
offered the parched and tired traveller
than glass of grape juice with tin
king ice.
The elderberry is another fruit that
need not be overlooked. Make a pie
and add bit of vinegar or few green
grapes to the pie to give it zest and
you will surely make another very
soon.

individuals on both sides, but underly
ing this seeming confusion in the des-
TIMES of atOms-causeS will still be hay
ing their natural effects. The average
German soldier, having endured defeat
already. will fight less Well than he
did. His nerves having suffered the
strain of those new experiences in the
shellhOlcS will hold out less long that
they used to. His mind having learned
that surrender into the hands of Eng
lishmen does not mean death or i'll
usage, but merely release from danger
and exhaustion. he will be less averSe
to surrender than he was.
The German army naturally scored
last year by being quicker than the
allies to see that success in trench
warfare was to the side with the most
munitions. 1t made competition in
munition making and it has been dis
tanced in that competition. and now
the wide advancing line of English in
fantry will enter the German trench,
a trench shattered out of shape as no
allied trench ever has been shattered.
Even at Verdun causes will have their
effects, though sometimes it may not
seem like it. However long the war
may yet last it has begun to have the
character of winding up. Even Il
minor English attack on the short
length OF trench near the Solnme be-
gins to be recognizable now rs one of
the many forms that have to be gone
