"REMINISCENCES
WRITTEN FOR THE EEQUiRERl

Sixty years ago Marlborough could
boast of five physicians; and at least
seven lawyers had offices here, and
lived either in the town or nearby. The
Court House then was on the lot where
the new Bank now stands. The town,
or Court House, pump was just out
sids the yard and was patronized by
the inhabitants who occupied the solid
row of buildings which then extended
from the present Court House yard to
the Jail. The main sreet ran to the
right of the old Court House, but
there was the encroachment of road
which is now the course of the State
road.
| have heard it stated that in ante
bellum days the Bar of Prince Georges
was one of the most famous county
bars in Maryland, and included some
eminent legal lights whose regulations
for ability extended far and wide.
Until about two years ago, one of
the landmarks here was the old law
office ofReverdy Johnson-distinguisbed
lawyer, Attorney General in President
Taylor's Cabinet, United States Sena-
tor and Minister to the Court of st.
James. With such an array OF talent it
is reasonable to assume that the court
house, which in 1880 gave place to the
present structure, was the scene of
many fierce and stubborn legal eEcoun-
ters; of which fact the Reports of the
Maryland Court of Appeals furnish
abundant evidence.
Malaria was much more prevalent in
this community formerly than it is at
present, and the slow growth of the
town was, doubtless. due in some
measure to this misfortune. After the
building of the Pope's Creek line of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which was first
operated as far as Marlborough in 1871,
there seemed for some unknown rea-
son to be an improvement in health
conditions, and this improvement twas
still more marked after the boring of
the Artesian wells about twenty years
ago. The five physicians, who lived
here about the time of the Civil War,
did not get rich, but all reared families
and were more or less prosperous.
There was fine drug store here then,
which was located on the site now occu-
pied by the First National Bank, and
kept by DR.. James Harper, cultured
and highly educated gentlemen, who
also served long and faithfully as the
President of the Board of seven trustees
of the Academy. This drug store was
the rendezvous of the men of leisure and
the favorite meeting place of friends
from the surrounding cou ntry.

WORK AND PRICES

Prices..are coming down. All
parts of the country are reporting
reductions in staple commodities
inspiring new hope in the long
suffering consumer, giving prom
Use Of better times ahead. Su-
gar and potatoes have taken the
lead with a headlong tumble,
while other foodstuffs, such as
flour, oils and fats, are following
at a more leisurely pace. The
great mail order houses are an
nouncing radical cuts in silks,
woolens and cotton prints; shoes
are far below last years level;
the automobile manufacturers
are making slashing reductions.
This development has long
been foreseen and discounted by
the business world, ard bears no
serious menace to the industry
of the country. There will be no
panic here similar to that which
recently occurred in Japan. A
period of declining prices always
entails hardship upon business,
always necessitates caution, but
as there has been no rampant
speculation and initiation in this
country, so will there be no great
collapses.
The present decline results
from operation of natural causes
and is a symptom of a slow re-
turn toward normal conditions.
Despite the chaos which prevails
in Eastern Europe, despite the
deadening hand of Bolshevism
in Russia, despite the Socialistic
attempts of agitators every
where, the world is slowly
but surely recovering from the
effects of the war. But truly
normal conditions cannot be
attained until there is
normal production once more;
and that, too, not only with re-
ference to gross output but TO
the Individual workers quota.
When prices are headed down.
ward, the thing to do is to keep
them going. The means is eff
cheney of labor. Let labor fail
to respond, let it ease up just be-
cause living at last promises to
be cheaper, and the prospects
will once more go a-glimmering.
It would be we'll for the work
ers of all lands to bear this point
in mind. Let them turn their
backs upon the urgings of false
prophets, let them beware of the
theories of quack physicians, for
there is but one sure remedy for
the worlds ills-hard work.
1t is work which has brought an
end to the soaring cost of living;
it is work, and work alone. which
can bring still lower prices in the
great staples upon which the
welfare and happiness of the
world depend.

CLAUDE p. KNOTT OF DULUTH
TO TAKE PLACE OF PRO-
FESSOR A. G. BROWN

Football, basket ball and track
ought to thrive at the Normal School
the coming year. The coach position
has been filled by the selection of
Mr.. Claude P. Knott of Duluth, a
graduate of Carleton College. Mr..
Knott has done four summers of grad
uate work, one at Minnesota and
three at Stout Institute, has been
working as craftsman during the
present year for the McDougalr Du-
luth Shipbuilding Company, has
taught in the high schools at Dawson
Minnesota, Aberdeen, South Dakota,
and Kansas City, and has studied vo-
cal music and the cornet for number
of years. He has held very good
position as cornet soloist in a large
church in Kansas City and during the
war was cornetist in the Second Field
Artillery Band in France. He was ac-
tive in athletics in Carletan where he
holds two records in track in the
quarter mile run and the half mile
relay. Mr.. Knott will bring his fam
lily to Bottineau' before the opening
Of the school year September 13. The
prospects are that good football ma
terial will enroll this fall from among
the graduates of the Bottineau and
neighboring high schools and football
practice will start with the oepning

HOODLUMS FAIL WHEN THEY
TRY TO BUFFALO WILL
LISTON EDITOR

Wilhston, N. Duly 28,-Taking
exception to an editorial appearing in
the Farmers Press last Thursday a
few hoodlums and roughnecks formed
a mob Monday night, attempting to
drive G. ]. Knapp, editor of the paper,
from town. The crowd was composed
largely of disorderly characters and
other elements that are prone to go
off ~"their nuts" frequently, making
chumps of themselves.
Four men, Pete Bruegger Bones
Harvey, One Gillette and Joe Mendro
have been identified as the leaders Of
the mob. Headed by this quartet, the
lawless hoodlums intercepted Knapp
when he was returning to his home
in his automobile after an afternoon
drive accompanied by his two year old
son, George, Jr.
The rioters attacked Knapp, repeat
edly attempting to drag him from his
car. Failing in this, they heaped vile
names upon him and threatened dire
vengeance. Officer Peterson of the
Williston Police force witnessed the
assault with cool, calculating indif-
ference, refusing to aid him in any
way. Peterson's attitude has already
gotten him in bad with the farmer
labor element. The remaining mem
bers of the city police force also
turned a deaf ear to the editors ap-
peal for aid.
Sheriff Mackenroth who happened
to be out of the city when the riot
started, organized a posse to conque,
the hoodlums upon his reutrn. States
Attorney Ivan Metzger is also assist
ing to preserve order. Warrants were
issued yesterday for the arrest of the
mob's ringleaders. They will be pros
ecuted for melting to riot.

CLOSING GAMES

Inc Bottineau baseball team went
10 Brandon, Man., last Wednesday af-
ternoon to close the baseball season
Tor the year with a double-header
against the Grays of that city ON
Thursday and returned to Bottineau
with both games to their credit. the
first with a score Of Is to 8 and the
last with score Of to l. The af-
ternoon game, in which the locals Sc
cured 22 safe hits was anything but
a good exhibition of baseball. both
tne Brandon and Bottineau boys play-
ing very poorly practically all thru.
"A great many errors are credited to
both teams in this game but the Bot
tlneau boys were right there assured
that they would have to play real
baseball in the evening or be subject
cd to defeat at the hands of Pitcher
Crawford.
lhe evening game was one of the
best ever played in Brandon and one
OF the few games which are played
IN less than an hour and twenty min
utes. Crawford was on the mound for
brandon and pitched excellent ball
throughout the game and his team
worked hard behind him but the To-
Gals were determined that nothing
would prevent them from winning the
final clash and a total of nine hits
were gathered off the delivery O"
Crawford. Bottineau people will re-
member Crawford if they attended
the Rugby Brandon game during the
fair. Bob Brandt was on the mound
for Bottineau and pitched excellent
ball, allowing but five scattered hits
and striking out ten men. Crawford
also struck out ten men.
Following is the lineup of the eve

Wednesday evening the ball team
played winning ball at Deloraine, the
score being 6 to 8.
The baseball season for the Botti-
neau team closed for 1920 with the
Brandon games last Thursday and the
record for the year follows: Games
played %; games won, Is, games for
feited 1; games tied 1. When it is
considered that the local team was
composed entirely of all-home players
and that many Of the teams opposing
the locals were salaried clubs the rec
ord is certainly an exceptional one.
Monte Woods finished the season
with a batting average Of nearly 42O
and at least two other members OF
the club stand around 375.
