Well, What Can We Expect?

The American flag still flies over
booze, thanks to A.. D. Lasker.
Mr.. Lasker is an advertising agent
who took the solemn oath to support
the Constitution and laws of the
United States and administer the Of
fee of Chairman Of the Shipping
Board.
Now he is engaged in the BUSINESS
of advertising in every port to which
he can send an American passenger
ship, that the United States permits
its officials openly to faunt it's laws.
Liquor, all kinds Of liquor, has
been sold for months on the Shipping
Board liners. Mr.. Lasker by devious
methods sought to prevent the sub
Iject from being discussed publicly.
He failed. His defense, when the
charge of improbable violation OF
his oath of office was made, was the
weakest imaginable. He fell back on
the plea that che liners could not sus-
tain foreign competition unless IL
ouor was sold, and in addition the
Supreme Court had not finally ruled
that the Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution vas applicable to
ships on the high seas.
formulatfeel Such excuses. The COM
mercial side of prohibition with the
question of its financial necessity to
government and individual was argu-
ed for years while this country was
for long years while this country was
considering prohibition as a policy.
1.-THE overwhelming sentiment which
compelled the enactment of the pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitu-
|tion and the laws for it's enforcement
have settled that argument, and made
lit the fundamental law of this land
that neither government nor individ-
ual shall profit from an outlaw in
dustry.
As for the lack of a high court de-
%cision, that excuse is nonsense, and
deserves a worse name. United States
district courts have ruled the law ap-
plies to United States ships. The De-
partment of justice under a former
chief ruled likewise, and Mr.. Lasker
has sought no opinion from the pres
emit Attorney General to the contra
nv. He doubtless fears that Mr..
Daughterty could only repeat the
former opinion. 1t has been the &C.
knowledged law of the nations since
earliest times that a ship on the high
seas is territory Of the nation in
which it is owned.
The United States has held itself
out as a nation intent on abolishing
the evils which flow with Igor. There
are a very, very few, public officials
who still express openly their opin-
ion that the enacment of prohibition
was a mistake and that the country
should return to license. These few
have the right to their opinion and
the right to express it.
But Mr.. Lasker's offense is differ
ent: He is the only official in public
life who has dared openly to an
nounce that he will not enforce the
Constition and the law Of the land

What Do You Mean apocalypse?
''The Four Horsemen' TELLS You

What is the significance of the
word "Apocalypse?"
The question has been propoundeC
so often in connection with the Rex
Ingram production for Metro of the
world famous novel, "The Foul
Horsemen of the Apocalypse, by Vim
cent Blasco Ibanez which will have
a second showing this season at the
Empire Theatre on May 20 and 30
that Webster must be called upon for
an answer.
Webster's definition of the word is
"a revelation; a disclosure" In the
early Greek version of the Bible, the
last book of the New Testament was
called "The Apocalypse of st. John.
In the later versions of the Bible, the
book became the Revelations
Pronunciation of the word which
also is shown by numerous CORES
pondents of Metros as an all but un-
surmountable stumbling block, has
been solved by Webster by placing
the emphasis on the second syllable

FAILS TO DISCOVER
LIQUOR VIOLATIONS
Jurors Claim That Officials Have
Been Criticised On Vague
Rumors.

The charges made by members OF
the Hartford County Farmers Fedel
alton, at recent meeting held i,
Belair regarding violations of the Lie
cal Option Law and laxity of duty o.
the part of local officials, wer'
strongly condemned by the Gram
Jury in its final report the past week..
An investigation into these charges
was made by the jury at the request
of Judge Harlan in his charge last
Monday. He directed that the farm
ers who made the charges be sum-
moned before the jury and indict-
raents returned, if sufficient evidence
could be secured. Should the charg-
es prove to be unfounded, the court
said, the jury should so report, in or
der to clear the county's name.
Referring to the matter, the jury
stated in it's report as follows:
eve made a special effort to secure
some concrete evidence as to the sale
of intoxicating liquor in Hartford
county, as this body thinks state
ments made at a meeting held in the
court house in tie early part of last
March are a reflection upon the Of
ficers of the county. However, upon
tracing these statements to their or
igin, we find that they were based
upon vague rumors, with no actual
testimony to support them. No evi,
dence, such as we needed to secure
conviction in cases of this character.
could be secured from any of the par
ties accusing the officials of laxity.
eve feel that, as citizens of the
county, instead of critizing the Off
Gals on vague rumors, they should
first attempt to secure testimony
sufficient to insure conviction and
present the same to the Grand Jury

MR.. OSWALD CONDUCTS
lime DEMONSTRATION
Local Farmer To Demonstrate Val
ue Of Lime In Soil Fertility.

County Agent E. l. Oswald has
taken over a nine acre field on the
farm of Mr.. VIM. Holloway upon
which he is conducting a demonstra-
ton to show the effct of various
forms of lime in increasing crop
yields.
Mr.. Oswald is working in coopera-
ton with the University of Maryland,
U. S. Department of Agriculture and
the Eastern Bureau of the National
Lime Association of Washington the
latter furnishing the lining mater
ials.
On Wednesday, May 10, the lime
was applied to the plots which are
located on the Queponco county road
running from Newark to Wilton.
1t is the County Agents intention
to have this field serve as an object
lesson to the farmers of this section
Of the state by indicating to them the
effect of lime in increasing yields I'M
der ctual farming conditions.
1t is proposed to observe the effect
of the lime not only upon the corn
crop to which it is being applied but
also on the succeeding crops. Corn
will be followed by wheat with grass
seeded in the wheat.
Stakes mark the boundaries of the
different sections receiving the lime
also those where no lime was ap-
piled. Each plot will be harvested
separately and accurate records of
the yields taken during the period of
the rotation.
Mr.. Holloway is to be commended
fol his enterprise and community
spirit in securing this demonstration
and for his willingness to carry out
this work for the benefit of better
agricultural practice on the Eastern
Shore.

Prices Generally Steady.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Swine prices were % to 40 cents higher
in trade on the local live stock exchange
today, with receipts extremely night at
1900 for the day, higher price tendencies
reported elsewhere early and both pack
erS and shippers displaying brisk de-
mands
Shippers were the earliest in the mar
ket and bought most Of the lighter
grades, while packers bought all of the
lghetr grades that they could and
heavier grades.
The market session was short, all Of
the receipts being sold at very early
hour in the forenoon.

of the sales for the day ranged at $1,000

Receipts of cattle were larger than
have been seen on the local mart for
the last week or more, and with pack
ers displaying none too good demand,
prices were barely steady on cows, can
ners and cutters and heiefers and steady
to 10@ lJc lower on steers.
There was, however, very good de-
mand for light heifers, due TO a very
limited supply, and prices on this grade
of cattle was fully steady.
Receipts for the day ran close to 1900
and it was thought that the clearance
for the day would be none too good.
Calves were slow to steady generally,
with receipts around 80. the quality
only fair and the demand by shippers
not so brisk as on the closing market OF
the previous week.
There was an extreme top Of S14 on
choice veals, but the sales al this price
were extremely scarce. The bulk of the
choice vedls brought Sl3M1350.

SO Per Cent of " 0rntay Capacity.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 20.-Ordera

steel industry increased during the last
week, so that the Carnegie Steel Com
pany has attained an operating ratio of
over 80 per cent. as has the Jones 4

The American Sheet and Tinplate
Company is operating at about two thirds
capacity.
Business continues of the hand to hand
character and there are few orders for
forward delivery.
The business coming to manufacturers
if for prompt shipment and represents
immediate requirements Of buyers.
Liquidation has been so complete that
actual needs are increasing, which ac
counts for the Improvement during the
last few weeks. Manufacturers of cold
finishing steel bars, nuts, bolts and rivets
are encountering some liquidating sales,
but in other lines consumers and jObbers
stocks appear to be low.
Prices seem to be the obstacle to adj
vance business in sheets, as buyers have
the idea that as the decline in prices has
been relatively less in this line than in
several others quotations will fall in
time.

Trade was excited throughout the ses-

behind the advance.

From a general business situation the
most encouraging factors today may be
traced directly to the increased confidence
resulting from improvement IN values OF
commodities.
The advance in cotton, wheat and corn
changes the individual from feeling Of
pessimism to one of hope. And after all,
it is the mental attitude of the individual
that makes either a favorable or unta-
Yorable business situation.
Where there is hope you find business
progress and with the agricultural classes
enc0ura ged by the rise in the value of
naturally and promptly an increased de-
mand for everything that is needed on
the farm, from household necessities 10
new implements.
Another source of encouragement Is the
improved railroad outlook. This IS why
we have an increased demand for rail-
road stocks, why there is constant ac-
emulation of eIUipme 1T stocks and way
in time you will witness the same de-
mand for steel stocks.
A prosperous railroad means pros
perity for all.
You no longer read those phrases that
were so common, but a short time ago
such as "r2ilroad breakdown" railroad
bankruptcy" and 'banished credit the
stock market itself affords the best evi-
dence of hope and confidence.
It is constantly broadening and is also
to maintain advantage Notwithstanding
the fact that occasionally meet with some
temporary uGfavorable influence.
We continue to look forward to higher
and broader market and therefore recon-
mend the purchase of stocks al every
favorable opportunity.
