Friday night about 9 o'clock, three
masked men came to the home of Mr..
Charles >Koontz, about IL miles from
Union Mills in an isolated location
and asked for cider, (Which however,
they did not receive) and while they
engaged Mr.. Koontz and his wife in
conversation in the basement two of
their accomplices prfed open a window
and entered a room on the floor above.
They took a new suit of Mr.. KoontZ' S
clothes, which the latter found lying
in one of his corn fields the next day.
Mr. KoontZ is at loss to know
whether his callers intended their act
as a joke or as an attempt at petty
thieving. In either case it was con-
temptible performance.

ONE PROSECUTION ENOUGH
Men Fined in One Court on Liquor
Charge, Freed on Another.

Somewhat of a precedent was set in
iquor cases Saturday by United
tates Commissioner Supplee, Balti-
ore, when he decided that he would
OF again conduct a hearing Of two
en-, who had already been fined in
arroll county, under the local option
aw there, on the same charge. Com
issioner Supplee made this decision
fter consultation with Assistant
States Attorney Lindsey.
. The wo men accused were Harry
arrolI and Leonard Kyle, of Sykes
ille They picked the wrong man
buy liquor, for it was Theodore F.
Brown, states attorney for Carroll
ounty, to whom they sold quart,
r. Brown had them promptly arrest
d and they were fined $50 and costs
ach, under the local option law of the
ounty. ~ -s-
Then the state prohibition officers
anted the two men charged with
possession of the liquor, they already
aving been charged with selling it,
nd took them to Baltimore, Commits
ioner Supplee, however, took the
round that where state officials Were
onestly trying to do their duty, as in
this case, he would not entertain &
barge against the men in the same
ase and dismissed them. Col. 3. o
Teant represented the accused men.

new YORK MARKET
NEAR TO COLLAPSE
BELIEVED THAT MANY WAR MILLION
AIRES HAVE ABOUT REACHED
END OF TETHER.

New York, Dec. 21.-On transactions
approximating 100000 shares, the
largest turnover of the year, the
stock market today experienced an
other drastic readjustment of quoted
values, which forced many issues down
from 2 to % points and established
numerous new low records for from
to years.
The collapse, which exceeded in vio-
lence any movement of the prolonged
reaction, encompassed every branch
of the list but was most extensive in
the group Of so-caIled independent
steels, coppers, motors and related
shares.
Waving admitted adverse condi-
tions in trade and industry, not only
in this country but throughout the
world, traders declared there were no
specific developments to explain the
slump, other than the growing con-
Viction that many war millionaires in
and out of Wall Street have reached
the end of their financial tether.
In substance traders asserted the
credit situation has closed the money
market to the country's speculative
operators, although local banking in
stitutions aver that no more than the
usual calling of loans customary at
this time of the year has been en-
gagged in.
Much of today's unsett1ement was
produced by an abrupt decline OF
about % points in Replogle Steel,
which is controlled by some Of the
largest factors in the steel industry.
Oils, recently in a class by them
selves, in that they frequently ignor-
ed the downward trend elsewhere,
suffered declines of 2 to points,. with
only nominal recoveries.

YOU say? The manfin all this time did

ed since the age of 20, and, no doubt
was as careful about the other bad
habits so as not to be enslaved by

not help feeling of sympathy for these unfortunate
women who have had everything and have nothing,
Just sympathze with all who are struggling in the
depths of poverty whether high born of peban birth
But will the lesson teaches be taken home? Will women
learn from infancy every person should be taught to be
sefsupportng in one way or another-that the dav of

PREPARE IN TIME OF PEACE.

England is building the biggest fleet of planes in

which to do it. France is making desperate efforts to
hablate herself now both economically and from mill
tary standpoint and she borrowed from America in ord
er to do it, Italy and the other nations doing the
sameand they borrowed from America in order to do it.
There has been much borrowing and very little paying
back In time if the world blows up again, may
the results of generosity turned against in the
shape of a hostile army-uness have navy and an
army and air force Of sufficient strength to keep them
away Our money is there, and not get it.
But the material for adequate army and navy and
force is here and we should get it, The getting would be
comparatively easy noW but the Lord knows what it will
be if we sit and twiddle thumbs until need it in

WHAT OF TOMORROW?

Today American products exhoribtant in price, are in
great demand in Europe This is so because Europe de-
vastated by war; not make these articles themselves
fast enough to supply the immediate demand
But in time Europe will be making sufficient for home
consumption and will have additional output for e
port
In America wages abnornally high, as are also
the raw eras The cost of manufacture therefore
"n the sky"
In Europe labor is much cheaper and articles can be
marketed at cost below that for which can produce
them.
IT, time when Europe has recovered, America will be
required to compete with these countries for world trade
America with it's high cost of manufacture against Fl-
rope with it's low cost
That is the condition which the present insane price
initiation will bring about
But tomorrow it may be the reverse.
1t is worth our serious consideration, when we hear
people talk of prices going even still higher.
