One Jim Johnson, character we'll
known in Upper Cecil county for
general cussedness, was hailed be-
fore Magistrate Nichols on Septem-
Der 25, on complaint of Edward
Kyle, charged with disorderly con-
duct. The Squire fined him $25 and
costs, and Johnson not having the
required amount was being taken to
Jail, when his sister paid his fine.
A few day later Jim appeared at
the home of Kyle with jag on and
proceeded to demolish things.
Another warrant was issued for him,
but he spied the Sheriff first, when
the county official. arrived in the
neighborhood, and took leg bail, the
officers revolver failing to go off
when he attempted to fire at the
fugitive. Jim is still at large and
liable to "start something" at any
minute. Meanwhile winter quarters
have been engaged for him at
Jessup's Cut.

turing one of the big guns which

which Mr.. heCompte located and
took possession of was eleven feet
long and weighed 100 pounds. The
ramrod which was used for loading

inches. The gun was captured in
Southern Maryland and is believed
to be one of three still in existence
He has been on the track of the other
two for several months, and hopes
to capture both of them, notwith-
standing the fact that every precau-
tion Is used by the owners to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of
the authorities. The captured gun
is now at the offices of the State Con-
servation Commission, where 1t may

lieve when, our army opens up on the

reception given the American troops
in England. From England we came
to France, where we stayed in a rest
camp few days, then moved right
down into the war zone, to a camp
OF our own about five miles from the
front line trenches. There were sew.

DEALERS IN FOODS
MUST GET LICENSE
Failure to Procure Permit Prior to
November i, will be Violation
~

The attention of dealers in food pro
ducts is called by DR.. E. F. Laid, fed
eral food administrator for North Da
kota, to the fact that license must
be procured prior to November l.
Failure to procure such license on
the part of the dealer will constitute
violation of the food administration
law and render the dealer liable to
heavy fine. Application must be
made direct to the food administra-
ton, licensing division, at Washing
ton, D. G.. For the present, hotels,
restaurants, confectioneries, ice cream
manufacturers and bakers will not re-
quire license. Monthly detailed
sworn reports must be furnished by
every dealer for the food administra-
ton, and the books will be liable to
inspection at any time. All food pro-
ducts must be sold at reasonable pri-
ces, as though there was a sufficient
supply, and the profits must be lin
tied to those which prevailed in ordin.

but he is even more disturbed by the
possibility that he will not be in
shape to take his final tests for ad-
mittance to the aviation division of
the United States signal corps, which
he had been expecting to make in
January.
The accident is an unfortunate one
in every respect. The grass and
reeds were so high that the hunters
could not see one another. Kupitz
had just swung his gun to one side
to avoid possible accident, thinking
that his companion was to the left
of him, when the safety catch slipped
and the weapon was discharged. The
shot struck the ground at the very
spot where Lucas knee rested.
