Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garri
son, Of Prince Georges county. was
in charge OF yesterdays raid, and

prietor of the Washington House, and
E. r. .Rickerts, proprietor OF the

The liquor men are UP in arms be-
cause, they declare, they were given
no chance TO make a test case of. the
law against possession by an In
dividual of more than one quart of
liquor or twelve pInts OF beer. The
liquor had been stored preparatory
to a re-opening next Thursday. which
was expected to be followed by ar
rests and a test of the law in the
courts.
More Warrants Ready.
It is said Judge Bailey Is preparing
additional warrants.
When the legislature made the new
law for Prince Georges county. It is
said, it had in mind that with Wash
ington going dry" the only place be-
tween the Capital and Baltimore to
get a drink would be this county.
Partly influenced by this and partly.

Baker did not wish to have a wet

BATTLE IN COURTS

With William L. Marbury, of Balti-
more, attorney for the Liquor Deal
ers' Association of Prince Georges
county, planning the campaign, nve
keepers OF saloons and road houses
in BladenAburg are making ready to-
day to wage a hard battle against
the law under which their places
were closed November 1, and which
resulted in their arrest yesterday and
confiscation OF large stores OF liquor
which, It is alleged, were found on
their premises.
The point upon which they will
rest their case, 1t is understood, after
coming before Judge Alfred D. Bailey
at BlAdensburg next Wednesday, is
that while their licenses, granted by
the county. ran until next May, they
have not been refunded any part Of
the monies paid in, though their es-
tablIshments have been banned.

WASTE OF FERTILITY
 MUST BE STOPPED

As a wartime measure the waste of soil fertility must be stopped. It is no less dangerous than a waste of foodstuffs. For it is waste of the future food supply. If the man who throws away, good human food in this crisis is really an ally of the enemy and he is-so is the man who wastes or destroys the fertility of the soil.
 Just here we wish to call attention once more to two of the most com mon wastes of actual or potential soil fertility and future bread and meat.
 One of these is the waste of stable manures. Of this much has been said. Much more remains to be said and very much more to be done. Not one farmer in ten gets the full value of the manure produced on his farm. Probably four farmers out of five lose full third of the fertilizing value of their manure by wrong meth ods of handling. Many farmers lose two-thirds of it. This waste must be stopped, and with it the waste of the ashes and other possible fertilz- ing materials produced on the farm. To go on with our present careless handling of the home-produced ma nures is to make steadily more diff ficult the meeting of the new de- mands for increased food production. Then there is the waste of the soil itself by washing and of the plant food from it by teaching. This, too, lis subject many times discussed in this papef, but here, too, more talk and great deal more action is demanded. More winter cover crops should be sown this year than ever before. More attention than ever before should be given to every practical means of less ening erosin and saving the soil. The man who wilfully leaves his land bare this winter is making it just a little harder for this country to win the war.
 Save the soil and whatever makes for soil fertility. You should do so religiously as regular part of good farming. but you have not been doing it. Get busy at it nowis a part of your wartime service to your coun- try. Southern Agriculturist.

the avions and is now almost a dust heap. But C-is the most fragrant example of all. It is a tremendous field hospital of barracks and tents. Last night it was attacked by two dozen planes, flying very low. They began dropping in incendiary bombs. As the place took fire, the patients ran out and were moved downl by the ma chine guns. Then, in order that the job might be completely finished, they dropped dozen gas bombs over the ruins. Wounded, sick, nurses and doc- tors were all killed. It's a pretty story, isn't it? There were four of our cars called at once but the avions swooped down on the road and open ed up on us with machine guns from a height of about fifty yards. We might almost have gotten the aviators with revolvers. We got in too late to save anyone. but perhaps any time was too late. That may be thrilling but Pm peace-loving soul and l never hated anything so much in. all my life. It's hard not to hate at times like that.

WILL PUSH THRIFT STAMP CAMPAIGN
 IN PINE BLUFF

For the purpose of allowing those people who are anxious to "do thelr bit" financially toward the winning of the world war and who are unable to purchase Liberty bond, the United States government has provided for United States war savings certificate stamps and United States thrift stamps and a vigorous and energetic campaign will be conducted for the sale of these stamps by the officials of the postoffice, beginning December 3rd, at which time they will be placed on sale at the postoffice.
 The war savings certificate stamps will be on sale during the month of December and January at $4.12 each, and the price shall be increased one cent each month thereafter during the calendar year 1918. Each purchaser of war savings certificate stamps shall be furnished without cost United States war savings certificate. to which such certificate stamps shall be affixed. The certificate is not transferable and has no value unless one or more certificate stamps shall be attached thereto.
 Thrift stamps, bearing no interest, shall be sold for 25 cents each. The purchaser of each thrift stamp will be furnished without cost thrift card to which the stamps may be attached. The card itself has no value. Thrift stamps shall not be cashed. but when 16 thrift stamps representing a total of $4, are affixed to thrift card they may, with a cash payment of from IF to 23 cents, be exchanged for war savings certificate stamp.
 Postmaster John D. Wilbourne stated yesterday afternoon that vig- orous campaign for the sale of these stamps will be pushed as soon as they are placed on, sale.

Each Test More Trying

GdOH 15sI MOIt Tying
When there were no more revealing stock car tests
to be made then special racing cars were built. The
same principle which accounts for the endurance in
stock cars was built into the racing cars. On the
speedway in competition with the fastest, most care
fully built automobiles in the world, the Super-Six
specials made records u~nequaled by any racing cars
in the history Of racing.
In nine championship races twenty-five entries
were made. All save one finished within the money:
an accident forced that one carsOut.
Hudson specials won first in four events; second
in six; third in two; fourth in three; fifth in three;
sixth, seventh and eighth in one each.
These records mean much to all who are familiar
with the terrific strains encountered at high speeds.
One hundred miles at racing speed calls for greater
endurance than a year of ordinary use.

Almost 10000 Cars Prove It.

But, if these records do not mean so much to YOU
then think of the almost 10000 cars that individual
owners are using. Recall what YOU must have heard
IN the way of praise for the Super-Six from those
owners you know. The Super-Six is known in eyerv
community. You do not have to go far to find a
Super-Six enthusiast. There is Super-Six for every
six miles of improved roadway in America.
Can there with such evidence as to Super-Six
quality be any choice now when compared to cars
that now sell in the Super-Six price class?
When there was a difference of 5000 to $500 some
did buy other cars because of the apparent saving.
Such preference will soon exhaust the supply of ma
terials bought in last years more favorable market.
Then the price of the Super-Six must be advanced.
Until that time judged by the standards of other
cars in performance and price, the Super-Six is the
best automobile value on the market.
But, you must not delay if you are to get a Super
Six at its present advantageous price.
