The palmy days of the attack on the
Demon Rum are recalled by a double
loaded leader in black-faced type in
the Elkton Wing, which declares "the
time has come for the people of Cecil
county to stand up and be counted on
the question of the enforcement of the
legislation against the rum saloon"
This is said to be "the very first issue
of the coming county campaign:
There must be no mincing of words.
no concealment of names, no lodging
and no evasion of the issue.
You are either against it or for it
either for the Rum traffic and the
politicians who, according to street
rumor, are backing it up, or against
the internal outfit.
1t is no time for soft thoughts or
gentle speech, and no time to hide
and no time to shirk.
Whisky or No Whisky-that is the
questionable open saloon and the
bootlegging saloon, or death to the
whole miserable business.
The politicians and so-called prom

been smiling on the disgraceful traf-
tic and sharing its favors must be
driven into the white light.
No man who offers himself for pub
lie office must be allowed to slip by
without saying where he stands on
what has become the only real issue
of the ensuing campaign, and any
man who stands up and dares to say
he is for Rum must be overwhelmed
by the votes Of the citizens Of Cecil
county.
Thank God, the women of the
county will take q hand and, with
their aid, the whole nefarious bust
ness can be stamped out, and every
man who tries to bolster it up ground
to atoms.

TIME TO THINK.

How prison bars sometimes clarity
the vision!
How many tragedies would be aver
ted if only men and women were given
to see from the outside as they see
from the inside!
A moment of anger; a fit of jeal-
ousy; passion for revenge; the flash
of pistol; then prison bars.
And, with the prison bars, a time to
think. Time to recall the days of in
nocence before the glare of the bright
lights dazzled the vision and the hec-
tic night life scared the moral sense.
Time to think of the simple life
back in the old home where homely
virtues satisfied and contentment
reigned
Yes, time to think of these and a
thousand other things that pass in
review behind prison bars; things that
have been driven out of mind in the
convivial grill room where serious
thought dared to intrude.
Time to weigh values and see with
horror of despair how the fleeing joys
whose pursuit has brought them into
felon's cell, shrink and fade out of
sight when compared with the solid
virtues they have ignored in their
mad chase for exciting pleasures.
The solitude of the cell brings men
and women face to face with the trag.
edy of wasted opportunity and causes
the things they have left behind to
assume astounding proportions.
Liberty was never so sweet: virtue
was never so beautiful; self-control
was never so admirable; honor was
never so glorious, as when viewed
from behind the bars of a prison cell.

years, departed this life March 18th,
after an illness of only few days at
his home in Davis, West Va Funeral
service was conducted in the Catholic

in Oakland where he was well and fav-
orably known as good citizen, having

Weather Gives Early Start on Farm.

.
Farmers of this vicinity are max
ing ready for spring and summer
planting and sowing. Much blowing
is under way, indeed some of the ag-
rlculturalists who own and till uply-
ing lands, have about completed the
turning up of their fields and are now
ready for seeding, while in other sec
lions of the county garden plots have
been prepared, trees and plants are
being trimmed and implements put in
condition to go after the many things
that will claim the undivided atten-
ton of the farmer when once the ac-
tual planting time arrives. Wheat.
which was seeded last fall, and which
gave the farmers much concern owing
to the open winter, fearing that it
would be frozen out, is doing nicely
and indications are that the crop will
be one hundred per cent.
Some little uneasiness is felt re-
garding the swelling of fruit tree buds
should cold spell occur, but it is
said by weather condition observers
that seasonable weather will continue
and productive season result.
Stock, including horses, cattle, sheen
hogs and fowls, appear to be in ex
cellent physical condition to which the
unusually moderate weather of the
winter is said to have largely con-
tributed.

INJURED IN EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING AUTOMOBILE CRASH
James YOunkin of Grantsville, Suffers
Hurts While Other Occupant Escapes


James Younkin, aged about seven
teen years, of Grantsville, is in the
Miners Hospital at Frostburg, suffer-
ing from severe cuts and bruises, the
result of an accident which occurred
about one o'clock Sunday morning
when car in which he was riding col
lided with touring car on the Ma
tional Pike a short distance west of
Frostburg.
Younkin was going toward Grants
vile in a roadster owned and driven
by Marshall Beachy, also of Grants
vile, where Mr.. Beachy is employed as
a truck driver by the owner of a coal
mine in that section. The touring
car with which the Beachy car collided
was going east from Uniontown, hav-
ing as its occupants a party of Beall
High School basketball players. The
cause of the smash-up has not been
definitely ascertained.
Mr.. Beachy''s roadster was badly
damaged, but the owner escaped with
a slight injury to one of his arms. The
touring car was not badly damaged,
nor was any of its occupants hurt.

METHODISTS ARE RIGHT IN PRO.
TESTING.

Methodist church members are, gen.
orally speaking, good citizens and of
average intelligence. If their church
discipline pleases them the rest of US
should be satisfied. This being true
they are justified in the action taken
at Asbury Park last week, when they
protested against the course of the
National Association of Dancing Mas
tiers, which impudently named one of
its numbers the wesleyan" John
Wesley was one Of the greatest men
of his time. Whether he thought
dancing harmful or not does not enter
into the matter. 1t is CERTAIN he did
not indulge in this form of diversion.
He was too busy in spreading the Cos
pei as he interpreted it.
The wesleyan" dance came into
vogue shortly after a sharp contro-
versy between professional dancers
and the Methodists as to how the
Methodists should conduct their own
business. The busybodies, the med
dlers in the controversy were not
Methodists, and it was neither cour-
teous nor fair play for the dancers to
undertake to promote their own inter-
ests by indiscretion and by appropri-
ating to their own use the name of the
founder of Methodism.
Bigotry, it should be remembered, is
to be found at times in secular bodies,
as well as in religious organizations.

OAKLAND CIVIC CLUB
Annual Report of the President of the
Body

Body.
Agreeable to a custom heretofore
prevalent in the Civic Club, am here.
with submitting my report as presi-
dent of the Club during the past year.
There can be no doubt of the good
of such a club in any community and it
should have the cooperation of every
good citizen.
In February a committee of the
Club attended a public meeting in the
Court House and a paper was read in
the interest of higher salaries for the
teachers of the county. The same
committee went before the School
Board for the same purpose.
In April, a delightfully."- appointed
luncheon was given on the ninth ami.
versary in the Club rooms, attended
by forty-fve ladies, at which time each
former president of the Club gave an
outline of the work done during her
term of office
In May, the cemetery was put in
order and much credit should be given
that committee for their untiring eff
forts to keep the cemetery in order,
although they have no cooperation
whatever from the owners, and the
fence that was promised to be built
at the lower end two years ago has
not been built and at present cows and
horses run through there and cut up
the lots and driveways. Careless driv.
ers of automobiles, instead of using
the road, have cut up the pretty grass
plot and practically ruined it.
A committee of the Civic Club
helped the Salvation Army drive.
In July we helped the drive for
members for the Maryland Associa-
ton of Workers for the Blind and took
out a membership for the Club
A committee from the Club helped
decorate the building for the County
Fair and maintained a rest room there
which proved real comfort to women
and children who came from a dis
lance to visit the Fair.
In November, through our efforts,
DR.. Valeria Parker, president of
the United States Department of
Health, gave two talks at the High
School and one to the ladies of the
Club on Social Hygiene that was in
teresting and beneficial.
Letters were written at different.
times to our representatives in Con-
gress asking them to vote favorably
on the Smith-Towner and Sheppard
Towner bills and against the CONNER
cializing of our Yellowstone National
Park.
Papers were signed and sent to
Governor Richie against race track
gambling.
Our membership has increased over
one hundred per cent; two tons of coal
were given to families reported as
needy; the Club is to be congratulated
upon its fine financial condition.
During the year we had ten enjoya-
BILE teas under the supervision of the
entertainment committee; also inter
esting talks on GLOW to Vote" given
by Mr.. E. R. Jones and Mr.. A. T.
Matthews.
The Civic Club is always ready to
help with any work for the civic and
social welfare of the community.
Thanking you for your hearty coop

constructive spending is of little worth
to the saver. There are too many
grown-ups who have never acquired
the happy balance of earning, spend
ing and saving ability which is true
thrift. If the San Francisco school
children are learning that in their
youth, then their one and half mil
lion dollars sets a splendid example
to other communities. Otherwise it is

TO Triumph, A to 2
Mcnamara Pitches Well for
Locals, but Misplays by
Infielders Are Costly

Fordham tossed off another bali
game at Fordham Field yesterday
afternoon, losing to the Catholic Uni
versity nine by the score of 10 2.
Mcnamara, pitching for Foriham,
yielded but five hits and registered
seven strike-outs in eight innings, .but
his efforts were of no avail.
Thirteen Maroon players left on
base during the course of the contest
tell the story of the game. Fordham
nicked Dollard, the visitors mounds
man, for nine, but was unable, to de-
liver when hits would have counted.
On three different occasions the Bronx
collegians filled the bases, twice with
none out, but they failed to score.
The visitors scored three of their
four tallies in the fifth. They were
helped materially by some very ragged
work in the Maroon infeld. Three
successive infeld errors filled the
bases for the visitors, who then came
through with brace of singles that
netted them three tallies. They showed
another across in the seventh inning.
The Fordham players failed to score
until the eighth inning, when Cousi--
neau's single, Shankey's sacrific and
Mack's miscue of Malley's tap to third
gave them run. In the last inning
the Maroon athletes tried desperately
to even up matters, but a lone tally
was all that they could produce.

Battle Between Giants and

and Babe Ruth, according to special
cables from the national capital, emu

But to-day is another day, and if
Mr.. Scarr smiles (as he can do some
times) CHS terrible bout between the

is the wrong word for what happens
when Flatbush meets Manhattan. It's

Those who shivered through the wind

will attempt to throw another dart

drew his days pay in the last set-to

ing and getting credit for winning
the game. But whoever does the hurl-
ing there is going to be real action
at the Polo Grounds this afternoon.
The report that Carl Mays, the pitch
ing ace Of the Yankees, will be obliged
to take week off to nurse an liberated
