BIZ. none of US even then sensed the

part the submarine was to play in the

this failure it was not until the war

Now. however the argument as to

Sale Of Auto Tags Shows Big
Increase.

State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Baughman Feb. 1 reported that his
Office had received $1,341,1S6.52 so
far this year from the sale of auto
mobile tags for 1921.
The sale of 1921 tags began on
December 6, and this amount is the
total received up to February /. The
receipts so far show an increase OF
$215,353.3O over the same period OF
1920. The report includes the re-

SHOOT AFFRAY AT NORTH EAST
Family Quarrel Leads To Probable
Murder.

Barred by his brothers from the
home of his mother, who is critically
ill, Vaughn Harvey, about 40 years
old, of North East, thrice shot his
brother, Larry, shortly before noon
Wednesday. One of the bullets en-
tered the victims stomach and the
others struck him in the hand and
leg. He was hurried to Union Hos
pital, Elkton, where an operation
was performed in hope of saving his
life, but his condition is very critical.
Vaughn Harvey resided with his
mother in the lower section of North
East, known as Perkinsville. Several
days ago the aged woman became
seriously i'll and her sons were snm-
moned home. After their arrival,
the mother, it is alleged, made seri-
Gus accusations against Vaughn,
who had been residing at home.
The other brotheys, as result,
drove him from the house. The
trouble then started that led to the
probable murder.

YOUNG's EXCHANGE.
Promises Exchanged For CASH
Sheriff's Sign On Door.

Sheriff's Sign On Door.
Recently very suave individual
giving his name as Preston A.
Young, and purporting to represent
"Young's Exchange" of Philadel-
phia, appeared in this locality So
liciting farmers to subscribe to
membership to the Exchange. and
pay an initiation fee of $25.00 for
such privilege. The purpose Of the
Exchange was the purchase of coun-
try produce, at attractive prices, to
supply the hotels in Philadelphia,
said produce to be transported by
truck daily to that city, no pur-
chases to be made from any except
members of the Exchange.
Quite number of farmers IN this
locality signed contracts, paying the
$25 membership fee. A clause in
the contract provided that "Young's
Exchange will donate 500 to any
members death as long as in good
standing, by being notified by afli-
davit signed by four living members
of Exchange"
Glenn Way, of this section, was
engaged as truck driver, the stipula-
ton being that he deposit $500 to
the credit of the Exchange for faith
full performance Of duties. On ad-
vice Of the President of the National
Bank of Rising Sun Mr.. Way re-
fused to comply to this demand but
bonded for the amount. Mr.. Young
was ycIy much disgruntled at this
lack of confidence but swallowed the
dose.
An investigation was started by
the Bank, with the result that it was
ascertained Sheriff's card was
hanging on the "Young's Exchange"
headquarters at 1913 Venango st.,
Philadelphia.
Meanwhile about twenty farmers
in this locality had signed contracts
with Mr.. Young, paying the $z5
membership fee, and they have
about come to the conclusion it will
be necessary for them to hunt an
other market for their products, as
Mr.. Young has left these parts.
A telephone call to the Bank ON
Saturday from the District Attorney
of Carroll county, stated that a. Mr..
Young was operating in the neigh
borhood of Westminster, and inquir-
ed as to his reliability.
