FIVE LIQUOR RAIDS MADE IN
CECIL COUNTY.
Two Automobiles And Large QUAINT
ity OF Whisky Seized-Stills
and Mash Found.

The Baltimore Sun published the
following account of the raids made
by Federal Prohibition agents in
Cecil county on Friday last:
Six prohibition agents from Bal
timore and Washington and an au-
tomobile load of negro helpers
swooped down on Cecil county Fri
day, seized large quantity of
whisky and two automobiles, poured
out large quantity of mash, broke
up six stills and arrested six men,
whom they brought to Baltimore.
One of the stills, it was said, had a
capacity of 200 gallons of whisky a
day.
The men arrested are: Edward
Hathaway and Ollie Thomas, of Fair
Hill; Frank Taylor, of Frenchtown;
Raymond Howard, Charles Raine
and Louis Bowen, of North East.
In addition, four other men
George, William H. and Custis Cox,
of Rising Sun, and James Howe, of
Charlestown, were ordered to report
to Baltimore for hearing.
The agents descended first on a
section known as "Charlestown Bar
rens," densely wooded neighbor-
hood near Charlestown. Here they
found tent and big still. At
house nearby, that of James Howe,
the officers found an automobile con-
tanning jug of whisky. The
whisky and the car were seized and
Howe told to report to Baltimore.
The agents next went to North
East, where they arrested Howard,
Raine and Bowen and seized Bow
ems car. Installed right in the
town they found two stills, SO gar
Ions of whisky and 100 gallons of
mash.
The next place visited was Rising
Sun. Here the agents raided the
Cox place and found $50 gallons of
mash, three gallons of whisky and
1000 pounds of sugar.
The party next went to Fair Hill.
Here the agents arrested Thomas
and found 35 gallons of corn whisky
and, according to the agents,
enough bonded whisky and wine to
stock hotel. - This was de-
clared to have been purchased be-
fore prohibition went into effect,
however. and was not molested.
Finally, at place on the French
town turnpike, the agents arrested
Taylor and found three barrels of
blackberry mash and two stills.
In the vicinity of the tent in the
''Barrens" 1t wass said that there
were storage boxes to hold 1900
gallons of mash.
The prisoners were brought to
Baltimore and locked up at the
Northwestern Police Station for a
hearing before the United States
Commissioner.

BAD HARVEST CONDITIONS,

The continued rainy weather has
damaged the wheat crop to a great
extent. Those of our farmers who
were fortunate enough to get their
wheat cut and under cover are few,
as there is field after field in shock
and the grain sprouting. Other
fields are but partially cut, the
wheat being almost fiat ON the
ground and badly tangled in numer-
Gus instances.
Field after field of grass yet uncut
may be seen, so completely have the
frequent rains stopped the work of
harvest. Taken all in all cur
farmers are having hard time get
ting their crops up, and are natural
ly feeling not little discouraged,

Shall the Forests Change epes?-By Frederic j. Haskn

the French and the German to perpeCuaCe
their forests and game down through the
centuries, the lack of which has left so much
of China bureau waste torn by floods, is
really all unnecessary. In fact, the secre-
tary seems to have taken, in his Colorado
Springs interview, high and lonely position
where the conservationist snipers can crack
away at him from several different direc-
tions and they have not neglected the oppor-
tunity.
This, then, is the real issue behind the
transfer project The only ostensible reason
brought forward for it is that the Interior
Department is the official real estate office
Of the nation and should have charge of all
land deals to prevent duplication. The
forest service has certain grazing rights to
lease and limited and diminishing number
of homesteads to give away along streams.
The Interior Department, 1t is claimed,
should exercise these functions. But it also
wants the forests themselves. This, the con-
servation1sts say, is a case of demanding the
hide because you deserve the tail and the
two cannot be separated. But this whole
contention is anor one,' smoke screen
to hide the real issue
At first 1t looked as though the transfer
might be rushed through as part Of gem
eral reorganization scheme without much at
tention being focused on it. But it has been
embodied in several other measures and so
brought out into the open, where its enemies
have better chance to attack it, and its
friends to defend it.
The Alaska forests are special phase of
the question, which will be taken up in a
future Haskin letter. The main fact, which
this article aims to set forth impartially, is
that the transfer is inteded to be, and will
be to some extent If it takes place, change
Of policy toward the national forests from
that of scientific conservation in the Roose-
welt tradition in the direction Of "free use"
in the pioneer sense. The fact that Secre-
tary Fall would have charge of the forests,
in view of his expressed policy with regard
to all natural resources, seems sufficient
proof of this.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

Why do women have so much more influ-
ence over their husbands than their husbands
have over them?
They do, you know. Legally the man is
the head of the house, but in nine homes out
Of ten it Is the woman who stamps her per-
sonality upon it and who fixes its status men,
tally, morally, socially, and even financially.
More than that, the wife makes over her
husband according to her own little paper
pattern, and changes him to suit her taste,
so that In the vast majority Of marriages
what woman is, the man ends in becoming
himself.
Men have no such influence as this over
women. What a woman is by birth, and
breeding, and her mothers teaching, she
stays And her husband finds 1t easier to in
duce the leopard to change its spots than to
alter her a single iota.
OF course, there are exceptions to all rules,
but in a wide acquaintance know only two
women who married men above them who
climbed to their husbands level instead Of
pulling their husbands down to theirs. In
one of these cases, the wife was a girl Of
humble parentage who had had little edu-
cation, and no social advantages. Her hus-
band was brilliant scholar, and scion
Of an old and aristocratic family.
AS soon as the wedding ceremony was
over, the wife began fitting herself to be a
cultured woman, able to shine in any society.
And, like Ruth in the Bible, she said to
her husband. "Thy people shall be my peo-
ple' She maintained affectionate personal
relations with her own family. She helped
them, but she did not foist her uncouth rela-
tives upon the man she had married. She
accepted mis- circle Of friends in place OF try
ing to force hers upon him. .
This instance of husbands influence upon
his wife is noteworthy because it is SO rare.
In most such cases the man who married
an uneducated woman finds her so enam-
CURED of her own ignorance that she refuses
to learn. His attempts to educate her by
reading to her, by taking her to see good
plays, by trotting her around to art CALLER
les are pathetically futile, because it all
bores her stiff. She has no desire for cul-
ture, or the finer things Of life. All she is
interested in is cabarets, and dancing, and
silly plays, and new clothes, and small beer
gossip.
Worse still, she resents her husbands in
tellectuality. She regards books as her
deadly rival, and nags him SO about reading
that unless he is book fiend he is apt to
slump even in that, and to give up the Sc
rious subjects in which he was interested.
For women interfere far more with the per-
sonal habits Of their husbands, than men do
with their wives. Nearly every man let's his
wife enjoy her individual tastes in peace, but
a wife thinks that it is her sacred duty to
make her husband like the things she does.

On Giving to Education


versity has received in donations
of money since the year 1890 an ag-
gregate Of forty-two' million two hundred
and ffty-n1ne thousand dollars serves to
show what can be done for an institution of
learning when once its friends acquire the
useful habit Of giving. OF the requests and
contributions making up this goodly total the
amounts range from large fortunes to a few
score dollars Men of great means have given
greatly, those Of lesser resources have given
literally, while from many modest income
or legacy have come hundreds and thousands,
which merged at length into millions If
Columbia could not have attained to it's pres
ent endowment without princely benefactions,
neither could it hay spared the multitude of
smaller but no less generous membranes.
Here is lesson of deep import to southern
people. If we wish our colleges and univer-
stiles to thrive and grow and contribute as
only they can, to our upbuilding and pros
perity, we must acquire more generally and
more heartily the habit Of giving to them
out Of our substance, whether that be large
or little. We must bring to pass the day
when it will be the rule rather than the ex-
ception for liberal portion of every estate
| to be willed to the work of education, and
when on every hand men of affairs will
covet the honor of endowing some professor
Ship or enriching some branch of scientific
| or. social research. Because this has been
done for decades in the East, the educational
institutions of that region count their finan-
cial resources by tens Of millions of dollars,
and pour back into the economic channels Of
| their commonwealth energies and ideas
worth hundreds and thousands of millions
| Once it was pleaded that the South was
| too poor to give greatly to education, as if
there were any other means than schools
and colleges whereof to develop the talent
and the treasurs that would redeem the flu
| ture from want! But the South of this wax
| ing Twentieth century, with her incompara-
| Bile dowrH from nature and her ever-widen-
ing prospects, cannot and will not breach any
such excuse. She has no higher duty than
| to provide Alright for the education of her
sons and daughters, and no more precious
! opportunity.
