think it would be cheaper in the end
1Cr the county to issue bonds and
pulld stone Or cement roads, take in
consideration the road from Church
creek down the county, from Black
water Bridge one-half of the road is
almost impossible, Lake Straits and
troopers Island has a population of
TOUR or five thousand, with about
three hundred automobiles and
trucks, these people spend quite a
lot of money in Cambridge, this
winter we have been kept away from
town on account Of the roads, there
lore much trade has gone to Sails
bury and Baltimore, that would have
gone to Cambridge had the roads
been better, think we should have
some State Road down the county,
say start at Blackwater Bridge and
build down the county as far as
possible, the road from Blackwater
to Church Creek would last two or
three years, or start at the State
Road leading to Taylors Island and
build down through Smithyille /
think the Commissioners should call
a meeting and make some plans for
improving the roads in the lower
part of the county because the pres
ent way Of repairing them seems to
be waste of the county's money.

PLAY OFF TIE
GAME WEDNESDAY
Standard Four Championship is Still
CIouded as Result OF Five to
Five Twelve Inning Game
Friday.

The Standard -Four All Stars and
Scrubs will try to settle the champ
ionship of the plant "wednesday after
noon when the twelve inning tie game
of last Friday is played off. Both
sides made five TALES in, last weeks
game, and the struggle went through
the twelfth inning without a decision
The game Wednesday afternoon will
settle the tie. The game will begin
at $50 and everybody is welcome to
look on.
There is plenty Of excitement about
the coming game. Gossip has it that
the All Stars are going to have dark
horse catcher, in the person Of Tiny
Robinson, one of the colored employees.
Other gossip hinges about the game
last week, especially in the minds of
those who participated. Wells, catcher,
late of the Boston Braves, insists that
it's long trail from first to third,
and Frazee of the All Stars took the
count when Pa Belt cornered him be-
tween second and third. Vance made
a running catch of Browns long hit
that saved the day for the Scrubs, and
Klepfer of the All Stars did a Casey
stunt with the bases full.

his pet burro, Jake-to get provi-
sions.
| His sixty-five years on the lonely

made him eccentric. Strangely
enough, he likes his fellows, and the

PROHIBITION
LAWS VIOLATED
More Than Fifty Thousand Arrests
Made During First Six Months
Since Measure Became
Law. r

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-More
than fifty thousand arrests were made
during the first six months of consu-
tutional prohibition, just closed. Pro,
hibition Commissioner Kramers an
nral report, soon to be issued, is ex-
pected to make this estimate.
Data on which Kramer is to base
the report is being received from en-
forcement agents all over the country.
A large percentage of arrests were
made by local police cooperating with
Kramer but not directly responsible to
him The number of these arrests
can only be estimated since reports
are received only from federal agents
by Kramer
A total of $4,000 arrests would indi-
cate that on an average of one in
every two thousand persons in the
United States was charged with vio-
lation of the prohibition laws.
This average, however, gives but an
inadequate idea, federal officials said.
of the actual number of violations of
the law, since presumably a large num-
Der of violations were not detected.

DETECTIVE WHO
JOINED SOVIET
Secret Service Man Became Member
Of Communist Labor Party
in Order to Learn Its
Secrets.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, July 19.-The state
prosecuting William Bross Lloyd and
nineteen others on charge Of violat
ing the state espionage act, today
won the right to attempt linking M
the general strikes in Winnipeg and
Seattle with the communist labor
party. The twenty defendants were
prominent in organizing the com
munist party here.
Harry J. Wilson, secret service
man, who joined the first soviet or
ganized in Seattle, was permitted tc
testify. He was expected to tell N
the plans of the soviet, especially as
to methods of overturning the gov
eminent. Attorneys for the state
argued the soviet plans were fol
mass action and that the communist
party approved those ideas
Ole Hanson, mayor of Seattle al
the time of the strike, was to follow
Wilson.
Wilson'S testimony dealt with ar
rangements for the Seattle general
strike early in 1919. Wilson related
that he was ordered to have printed
10000 circulars to be distributed by
soldiers and sailors
The literature will be introduced
later. Wilson said Fred Nelson, sec
retary of the strike committee, had
him question soldiers and working
men as to their attitude toward the
government Nelson told him IL they
were dissatisfied there was an or
ganization to help them. he said

The Citizens Moral Duty.

Long Beach Press: Too many per
sons have one-sided notion OF
American citizenship. They regard
lit as q practically limitless field OF
opportunity from which they may
reap benefits, and for the benefits
thus reaped they want to give as little
in return as possible.
Citizenship does yield, in and OF 1t,
self, vast benefits, material and in
other forms. But it also exacts obi
cations and imposes responsibilities
The citizen who would do nothing
but extract benefits from his citizen,
ship and would give no useful service
lin return, is a parasite and an enemy
of the public veal. The good citizen
has due regard for his moral respon-
sibilities and his ethical obligations TO
the body polite. He remembers what
he owes to society, as well as what
society owes to him. He lives to
give, as well as to acquire. He is
ready to serve, as well as to be
served. In other words, he properly
regards his citizenship as moral
equation, involving reciprocal giving
ION his part and receiving benefits
from his opportunities as a citizen.
