GAZE OF Maryland ROADS

Senator Arlando Harrison of Ber-
lin, Md, well-known in Delaware, will
submit a bill to the Maryland Legis-
lature vesting control of every foot
of the public highway in Maryland
with the State Highway Commission.
Should the measure become a law the
county engineering and road system
which now prevails throughout the
state would disappear and the State
Highway Commission would have the
entire direction.
Much money, it is thought, would be
saved by the new plan and the roads
in the counties, the little side roads,
would receive better attention. The
Maryland Highway Commission has
fine reputation and the logical
thing to do would be to give it
charge of all the roads and not mere
ly the most important ones.
There are 13,11O miles of improved
and unimproved roads in our neigh
boring state, so that it may be real
lied what a task the Commission
would have should Mr.. Harrison's
bill become law. The facilities of the
Board would have to be increased,
but this could be readily done, and
every emergency could be met.-Mor-

The bells of the public school and
the church of our town were rung
Long and loud at noon on last Mon
day in honor of the first anniversary
of the going into effect of the 18th
Amendment to our constitution. We
trust there shall be many, many more
anniversaries of this notable event
and as each one shall roll around
they shall be increasingly appreciat-
ed.
Revival services still continue in
interest at our church.
- Some sneak thief or thieves visited
the barn of Carl Satterfield last Sun
day evening and stole his horse car
riage and harness. Mr.. Satterfeld does
not stay on the. farm at night since
his house was burned about a month

the thief took advantage of this fact.
We hope he may be apprehended and
brought to justice.

is that Bemidji will have q stiff battle.
Since losing to the Crosby Ironton
