Each Got Face Slapped.

Evidently not filled and running over
with spirit of love and good will for
Justice Robert A. Cadow after the latter
had imposed several fines on him last
week, Paul Hoffman met the Justice on
the street Monday evening and engaged
In conversation with him regarding one
of the warrants in the case, claiming
that something was not as it should have
been. Hoffman's statement did not suit
Justice Cadow and he said it was lie
and about the same time slapped Hoff-
mans mouth. Hoffman landed glancing
blow on Cadow's face, and then after a
flow of eloquent oratory of several min
utes duration by the two principals, the
little scrap ended-neither one being
afraid of the other but unwilling to do
bodily injury. The news of the affair
spread rapidly and was the subject of
discussion all through the long dull hours
of the evening.
Don't question Justice Cadow's veraci-
ty-you II get in wrong.

Harry Nice In Town.
Republican Candidate For

|
Governor Surprises Citizens.
Last Saturday afternoon just at a
time when but few people were about
town. Harry w. Nice, States Attorney
for Baltimore City, and Republican Can
didate for Governor of Maryland. drop
! ped into town unannounced. surprised
the citizens and took the town by storm.
Mr.. Nice was travelling in an auto and
was accompanied by two young men, re-
porters for the Sun and American, -Balti-
more papers. He at once got busy, held
up the first fellow he saw and in very
pleasant manner told him that he was
Harry Nice, Republican Candidate for
Governor, and at the same time held out
his hand and said "shake." This was
repeated as fast as he could travel from
one person to another and from one
place of business into another. His man
ner of making himself known attracted
persons to him-made them put them
selves in his way in order to meet him.
His visit was very brief, but the fact
that he was here was one of the topics
of discussion all Saturday evening among
the large crowd of people who gathered
in town.
From Thurmont Mr.. Nice went to
Emmitsburg, and stopped at the Slagle
Hotel for supper. After supper he was
met by Mr.. Albert Patterson, Register
of Wills, Mr.. j. Stuart Amman, chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee and other prominent republicans
of Emmitsburg District.
Mr.. Nice thus visited one very strong
Republican and one very strong Demo-
cratic District in the county, and accord
ing to reports he is very we'll pleased
with conditions in both. He is a jolly
fellow to meet, and it is the hope of
many in Thurmont that he will come
this way again and remain longer than
he did last Saturday.

Run Down BY Auto.
Little Child Badly Bruised
Not Seriously Injured.

Last Sunday morning about 10 O'Clock
Katherine, the 10 year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Knott of Thurmont,
was struck by one of the many automo-
biles travelling the State Road toward
Emmitsburg.
The little girl with other companions
came from the Methodist Sunday School
with the intention of crossing the street
to the home of Mr.. VIM. Mccartney to
get drink. At the time some three or
four cars were passing the church. The
little girls saw one car pass and from a
car standing at the curb started on a
run across the street not conscious of
the fact that another car was following
close. One girl got by, but only by a
close margin, but little Katherine was
struck and knocked down. By those
who saw the accident it is stated that
the car was being driven at moderate
speed and that it was impossible to avoid
striking the child.
The gentleman. Mr.. Bopst of Ere d.
erick, and lady who were in charge of
the car stopped and did all they could for
the child and went with her to her home
and remained until sometime after the
arrival of physician.
The accident caused considerable ex-
element for some time, many persons
being on the street on their way to
church.
Reports from the child are that no
bones are broken, but that she was bad
ly bruised and suffers more or less from
the effects of being knocked down.

It's Manufacture Not Prohibited
Under LiuuOr Law.

"There is a concerted effort being made
by enemies of Prohibition to misrepre-
sent the facts, so far as the proposed
Prohibition law is concerned.
"From certain sections we hear the
cry that the farmer will not be allowed
to make cider or to sell the same after
Prohibition becomes operative. This il a
deliberate attempt to deceive the people.
We find that it has worked so we'll that
large number of people throughout the
state, who are opposed to the liquor traf-
fic, understand that the cider business
must cease when Prohibition becomes
effective.
1.-THE law specifically defines intoxicat-
ing liquors. Sweet cider contains no al
cohol. 1t can be manufactured and sold
as such by anybody. The law does not
appls unless it is kept for the purpose of
becoming Intoxicating and unless it has
more than one-half of per cent. of alco-
hol by volume.
''The proverbialy hard cider DRINK has
always been considered mighty drunk
to get over. Everybody knows, who
knows anything at all about hard cider,
that it can contain enough alcohol enough
to make p man beastly drunk. The sale
of it for beverage purposes, or the manu-
facture of it for the purpose of allowing
it to become Intoxicating and then selling
it foe beverage purposes, will be prohib-
tied under the general definition. At
tempt has been made by the enemies of
Prohibition to show that. under this con-
struction, one would be prohibited from
keeping cider for vinegar, because in the
process of fermentation, it would be in
toxicatlng before it became vinegar.
The law specifically says that vinegar
and fruit juices for the production of
vinegar shall not be subj ct to the pro-
visions of the Prohibition act. This,
therefore, allows the farmer to manu-
facture as many barrels of cider to be
made into vinegar as his apples will pro-
duce. No one is going to interfere with
that act. The law itself specifically pro-
tects the farmer in his legitimate manu-
facture of vinegar and the definition pro-
tects him in the manufacture of sweet
cider.
$50 to tn farmer and everybody who
wants to manufacture cider for beverage
purposes-or wants to manufacture it for
vinegar say, 60 ahead; no harm can
come to you unless you deliberately set
apart to make alcoholic cider to make
people drunk. American Issue.

LICE INJURIOUS TO TURKEYS
Common Body Louise Of Chickens 10
Often Found in Sufficient Mum.
bers to Be Harmful.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Four species Of lice are commonly
found on turkeys in this country. One
Of these, which occurs particularly on
turkeys associated with chickens, Is
the common body louise of chickens.
This species is not found In great
numbers on turkeys, but 1t sometimes
becomes sufficiently abundant to cause
considerable irritation and doubtless
Is injurious both to the grown fowls
and to the young. The shaft louise Of
chickens also has been found on tur-
keys, but probably does not breed on
that host. The other two species
seem to be native 10 the turkey, prob
ably existing on this fowl In the wild
state. The large turkey louise prob
ably Is most abundant. 1t occurs on
the feathers on various parts Of the
body, especially on the neck and
breast. The slender turkey louise is
species Of good size, though rather
elongate, resembling in shape the
head louise Of chickens. Normally
neither of these species Is excessively
abundant. but on crippled or unthrifty
turkeys they may cause serious annoy
anee and undoubtedly they are injuri-
Gus to poults.
